The Wolf Den – Private Lakefront Suite with Mountain Views

Escape the hustle and bustle at The Wolf Den, a cozy private suite overlooking Douglas Lake and the mountains of East Tennessee. This peaceful retreat is ideal for a solo traveler or couple looking to relax in a beautiful natural setting—and perhaps hear the neighboring wolf-dogs howl!
The suite is located above a detached garage on a gated lakefront property. The owners live on the premises, but guests have their own private accommodations, covered deck, keyless entrance, and designated parking area.
Inside, you’ll find a comfortable queen-size bed, private bathroom, Wi-Fi, heating and air conditioning, and a kitchenette equipped for light meals and snacks. Amenities include a refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, air fryer, and K-cup coffee maker. Locally sourced spring water is also provided through a hot-and-cold water dispenser.
Enjoy a meal at the indoor table for two or dine outside on the covered deck while taking in views of English Mountain and Douglas Lake.
Enjoy the Lake
Seasonal lake access is typically available from May through September. Stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, and life jackets are provided for guests to enjoy when lake conditions allow. Douglas Lake is also known for excellent fishing; a valid Tennessee fishing license is required.
In the evening, relax in the Adirondack chairs around the lakeside firepit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings beneath the stars.
A Truly Unique Neighbor
Wolf PAWS Wolf-Dog Sanctuary is located in a separate area next door to the rental property. The sanctuary is not open for general public admission, but private educational tours may be reserved in advance at wolfpaws.org.
Tours are separate from the rental reservation and can fill quickly during certain times of the year. One of the most memorable parts of staying at The Wolf Den may be hearing the sanctuary’s wolf-dogs howling in the morning or evening from your private deck.
Surrounded by Wildlife and History
Wildlife is abundant in this area. Guests may spot deer, wild turkeys, coyotes, black bears, and many varieties of birds, including Great Blue Herons, egrets, Bald Eagles, Ospreys, and hummingbirds.
The historic town of Dandridge is approximately 15 minutes away. As Tennessee’s second-oldest town, Dandridge offers historic sites, locally owned shops, restaurants, and the popular Dandridge Brewing Company.
The Wolf Den is also conveniently located within driving distance of the area’s most popular destinations:
• Pigeon Forge: approximately 30 minutes
• Downtown Knoxville: approximately 45 minutes
• Gatlinburg: approximately 45 minutes
• Great Smoky Mountains National Park: approximately one hour
Driving times are approximate and may vary depending on traffic and seasonal conditions.

Kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and life jackets may be provided for registered guests when lake and weather conditions permit. Guests use the lake and all provided recreational equipment at their own risk.

Life jackets should be worn while using kayaks or paddleboards. Guests are responsible for determining whether weather, water levels, and lake conditions are appropriate before entering the water.

Because The Wolf Den is an adult-only property, lake equipment is for registered adult guests only.

Availability of lake access and recreational equipment is not guaranteed due to seasonal water levels, weather, maintenance, or other conditions.

**13. WOLF PAWS SANCTUARY**
Wolf PAWS is a separately operated property located next door and is not part of The Wolf Den or its grounds. Guests must not enter the sanctuary property, approach or feed the animals, or attempt to access the sanctuary from The Wolf Den.

Guests may have an opportunity to participate in a complimentary small-group tour during their stay. Tours must be arranged in advance directly with Wolf PAWS and are subject to the sanctuary`s schedule and availability. A stay at The Wolf Den does not automatically reserve or guarantee a tour.

**14. OUTDOOR KITCHEN AND GAS GRILL**
The outdoor kitchen, including the gas grill, mini refrigerator, sink, and counters, is provided for registered guests. The grill must be used responsibly and only by adults.

Never leave the grill unattended while it is in use. Turn off the burners and gas supply after cooking, clean up food and grease, and do not place hot materials in the trash bins.

Guests are responsible for damage caused by unsafe or improper use.

The owners` residence, garage, storage areas, and other private portions of the property are not available for guest use. Please contact the property manager if assistance is needed rather than approaching or entering a private area.

Quiet hours are from 10:00 p.m. until 8:00 a.m. Please keep outdoor conversations, music, and other noise to a minimum during these hours and respect the peaceful setting, neighboring sanctuary, and property owners.
