    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! I'll start with the room: comfortable pillows, quality linens, very clean, quality bath products, water in the fridge and chocolates on the pillow. The Inn: charming lobby and dining hall, bountiful breakfast, candlelit dessert (we recommend the chocolate brownie with ice cream), delicious coffee, large deck with cozy fire pit and ample seating. Ask about the snore kits and cozy blankets for sitting around the fire. The Staff: from check in, to maid service to the owner we were charmed by southern hospitality. If you are looking for a place that takes pride in their service and is detail oriented this place is for you. This is the kind of 5 star service not many places stilloffer. My husband and I can not wait to return and recharge. This we exactly the wonderful romantic weekend we were hoping for!

    This was my aunt and uncles 1st time visiting Douglas lake. They had bad experience at previous hotel the night before. I booked room at Mountain Harbor Inn for them and explained what had happened to them. The staff at the Inn more than made up for their bad experiences. The were so kind and courteous and went above and beyond to make them comfortable and happy. Needless to say it was such great experience my aunt cried happy tears...I will always send more business from now on to the Inn. I appreciate everything the staff and managers did for my family. They also praised that the breakfast and dessert service was amazing food too.

    The facility was lovely and so gorgeous when we got there. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We did request an boat and was told there was none available or the entire weekend. The next morning we got up and had an lovely breakfast and while walking out my husband asked about an boat rental again and they had one, am speed boat. We rented it for the time frame they had available. This "speed boat" was horrible. It was as not an speed boat, the propeller was beat up so badly in it, it's a wonder it was pushing us at all. We could barely even pull anyone on it tubing, it wasn't making good waves at all. It definitely was not worth the money spent on it. With al the money they make in renting rooms and boats, you think they would take better care of their boats. Our first room was "the presidential suit" we was supposed to have "gone with the wind" but something happened and messed our reservation up, luckily that was caught in time for us to book "the presidential suite" it was an nice clean room, the ac didn't work well at all though, it was so hot in there my husband had to go to Walmart and buy us an fan. It did have an ceiling fan above the bed, but it barely worked,..the rooms are so big, the tiny ac unit they have does not cool those rooms off at all. We had this room for 2 nights, we decided to stay a 3rd night so my husband could take the bass boat out, as he wanted to fish. We ended up getting "gone with the wind suite" which was the original room we should have had. This room was lovely at first glance. Although, it was missing the two twin sized beds in the bedroom. Instead there was an ironing board and stand up mirror. This second room with twin beds was the main reason we wanted this room. It was an HUGE disappointment! I will say the food was great, the accommodations were nice, and people friendly. Our rooms came with an amazing dessert every night, which we never got to try. Mainly due to my husband having the boat during those times. We finally found out we could get them in an to give box and take to our rooms then was told the dessert we chose we couldn't do that with due to them being too messy. Which makes no sense to me, people bring fast food and other stuff in that's messier then that, but oh well. The last night in the new room our towels had dead ants in them, the sheets had bed bug ink stains on them and the room was misrepresented big time with the two twin beds. This was a good experience and lie rly time away, but next time I will probably look elsewhere to stay as this was not worth what they charge every night.

    I stumbled upon this place when looking for places nearby Gatlinburg. I had never stayed at a B&B before so I wasn't really sure what to expect. We arrived at check in and were promptly showed around the property and to our room. We stayed in the Presidential suite and it was a great space and had a great view of Lake Douglas. The room had a kitchenette and a living room area so it was nice and roomy, especially for two people. The rooms were very clean and a cleaning service came through every day. The breakfast buffet exceeded my expectations. I'll be honest and say that expected a more simple breakfast, but they had a full spread of real scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, potatoes, fried apples, biscuits and gravy. It all tasted great and homemade! Each night they offered a sunset cruise at 5pm, which we enjoyed on our first night. Once everyone (around 4 couples) met for the cruise, the staff offered us soft drinks or a water to enjoy on the boat ride. I thought this was a nice touch and showed they always were going out of their way to make your stay more comfortable. On this particular night the owner of Mountain Harbor was our boat captain. You can tell he loves his job. He was happy to tell us the history of Lake Douglas and the city of Dandridge, along with a few jokes. In addition to an ample breakfast they offer dessert every night from 5-8pm and once again I expected small sample sized pastries or grocery store cookies. I could not have been more wrong. We had the option of the signature brownie al a mode, lemon cake, chocolate cake or cheesecake. The brownie could easily be split by 2 people if not more. It is simply HUGE. It was also delicious so its very tempting to keep eating until you are in a sugar coma. Mountain Harbor is at a marina so you can rent boats and jet skis through them and guests get a discount on rentals which is pretty cool. We rented jet skis one day and had a great time on the lake. We found out that the jet skis are tuned down to max out at 40 mph so just a heads up if you are used to going a lot faster. It was my first time riding a jet ski so I felt 40 mph was fast enough. In addition to jet skis they also rent pontoon boats, speed boats and tubes. The lake is awesome for swimming and has some really cool coves that are fun explore. The entire staff was always helpful and friendly. They were always asking how your day was going how you were enjoying yourself. It was real southern hospitality.

And the nice thing is that it's conveniently located only 9 miles from downtown Knoxville. When you arrive, Lynn will give you a tour of the place, give you instructions and your special key code to get in and out as you please, and lastly, bring you to your room. We have stayed in two different rooms and our favorite is the spacious room upstairs with the en-suite bathroom. Room amenities include: extra towels, pillows, and blankets, a fan, a white noise machine, smart T.V., luggage stand, and a binder of useful information. Each morning, Lynn serves a continental breakfast from 8-10 a.m. which includes: fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs, homemade muffins, granola bars, and oatmeal. The coffee and tea bar is always open, which I just love. I can't sing enough accolades for this beautiful bed and breakfast and its delightful host. If you're visiting Knoxville and you need a place to stay, you don't need to search any further.

The public lunch is once a week on Thursdays and by reservation ONLY and they must be made by the previous Tuesday before 6pm. For a flat $10 we had a simply delicious pecan incrusted chicken breast, drizzled with a Dijon mustard. It was moist inside, crispy on the exterior and just enough of the Dijon to add a delicate flavor enhancement but not so much as to make it sweet. A really good balance, kudos to the chef. I thought the side was coleslaw when it was placed in front of me but it turned out to be sautéed cabbage and the perfect gentle, compliment not overpowering as cabbage can sometimes be. A standard roll completed the lunch plate and this was all washed down with some seriously good fruit tea. Once again, gentle refreshing flavor not too sweet. We then finished the meal with a bowl of banana pudding which also tasted super fresh!!! The waitresses and hostess were lovely. Helpful to everyone who arrived and efficient with service. I HIGHLY recommend you try this place. I really think it might be a 'family affair' they all take as much pride as usually 'Mom & Pop places' are known to do. Afterward take a stroll through the small historic town, enjoy the sites and history that this 2nd oldest town in TN has to offer.
