THE LOCATION
With Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, the Bristol Raceway, and Cherokee, North Carolina within a short drive of your door, this Dandridge rental is perfect for exploring the Great Smoky Mountains.
Smokey Mountain Park is the most visit park encompasses more than half a million acres ranging from mountain terrain to hardwood forests to wetlands. It has five different types of forests alone and one-third of its trees are over 100 years old.
The mountains get their name from the smoky haze that blankets the area giving it an almost magical quality. The wispy, smoke-like fog that hangs over the mountains comes from rain and vegetation in the park. As plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen, they also exhale “volatile organic compounds.”
The high concentrations of VOCs in the park give off vapors that combine with rain, sunlight and humidity to create fog. These compounds also create the various scents and odors people smell when walking through a thick forest (think pine). Molecules in the gaseous vapor scatter blue light from the sky and create the region’s signature smoky blue haze!
Ober Gatlinburg amusement park is a family-favorite destination less than 1 hour from Smoke Rise Barn on Douglas Lake. Don't miss the incredible views from the SkyLift or the Space Needle while you're in town.
Explore the Forbidden Caverns in nearby Sevierville, then try an array of spirits at Tennessee Legend Distillery, Dandridge's Revolutionary War Graveyard.
Please keep in mind that Douglas Lake is a water control lake with TVA so the dock for the home does not have water from October - April please visit the Douglas Lake site for addition information.
