🎤🦦 THEY’VE ALWAYS BEEN ON TEAM Otters Cove Bar & Grill! 🦦🎤

Before the big stages, the bright lights, and the screaming fans… Ferryn & Brinkley were already part of our team! ❤️

These incredibly talented sisters are coming BACK to Otter’s Cove Bar & Grill tomorrow from 5–8 PM, and we couldn’t be more excited to have them singing on Douglas Lake again!

🎶 Come enjoy the music, grab some great food, soak up the lake views, and help us show these hometown girls some love!

Because someday, you might have to buy a ticket at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville to see them… but tomorrow, you can catch them lakeside with us! 😉

📍 Otter’s Cove Bar & Grill
🗓️ Tomorrow | 5–8 PM

If you can’t come to OTTERS - Let OTTERS COME TO YOU….Now on DOORDASH!

🎃SOMETHING WICKED-FUN IS COMING TO DOUGLAS LAKE… 🎃

And this time, it comes with a LIVE Liquid Velvet CONCERT! 🎸🔥

On October 24th, Cowboys Bar and Grill at Lakeside transforms into DOUGLAS LAKE-MARE II — a haunted lakeside Halloween party filled with fog, food, music, dancing, costumes, and one unforgettable night on Douglas Lake.

Last year, around 60 people joined us for the inaugural event. We told everyone then:

“Next year people will see the pictures, hear the stories, and this thing will SELL OUT.”

Well… we were right. 😈

We only have roughly 25–30 tickets remaining out of our 200-ticket allotment, and we’re still more than two weeks away. Attendance is capped because of limited parking, so when these tickets disappear… that’s it.

🎸 THE BIG ATTRACTION: LIQUID VELVET LIVE IN CONCERT!
Come dance the night away under the October moon as Liquid Velvet turns our haunted lakeside pavilion into one giant Halloween concert.

Your ticket includes FOOD + FUN + MUSIC + UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES.

And because this is Cowboys…

🐶 DOGS ARE ENCOURAGED.
👻 KIDS ARE ENCOURAGED.
🎃 Costumes are encouraged.
💃 Dancing is practically mandatory.

So if you hear something creeping up behind you while “Thriller” is playing… don’t worry.

It’s probably just someone trying to get one of the last tickets. 😂🧟‍♂️

🔥 LESS THAN 30 SPOTS REMAIN!

🏔️ “I miss when Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg were more quaint…before everyone discovered them. It used to feel like our little secret place in the Smokies.”

That may be one of the most common comments you see from people who have been visiting the Smoky Mountains for decades.

Here’s the good news…

That version of the Smokies still exists. You just have to know where to stay.

Welcome to Dandridge, Tennessee and Douglas Lake. 🌊🏔️

You can still wake up to mountain views. You can still find little local restaurants. You can still drive roads where you aren’t surrounded by giant attractions and traffic. You can still sit outside at night and hear the water instead of cars.

And the best part?

You’re only about 15–20 minutes from Pigeon Forge.

Spend the day enjoying everything you love about Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains…

Then leave the crowds behind and come back to the lake.

🌊 Douglas Lake
🏔️ Mountain views
🏛️ Historic Dandridge
🎣 Fishing and boating
🔥 Quiet evenings
🍽️ Local restaurants
🚤 Lake life
❤️ And that slower East Tennessee feeling so many people remember

It’s almost like getting two vacations in one.

And when it comes to where you stay, you don’t have to settle for a traditional hotel experience.

At Smoky Mountain Lakeside Resort & Marina, we offer accommodations ranging from 1-bedroom retreats all the way up to 4-bedroom options, making it perfect for couples, families and groups.

And here’s one of the biggest differences:

Every single accommodation has its own PRIVATE HOT TUB.

Not a shared hotel hot tub.

Not one you have to walk through a lobby or crowded pool area to use.

Your own private hot tub, just steps from your room, villa, cabin, cottage, lodge or house — there for you to enjoy whenever you want, with the privacy you came on vacation for.

That means after a full day in the Smokies, you can come back, relax, look out toward the lake, enjoy the evening and actually feel like you got away.

Only 15–20 minutes from Pigeon Forge.
1-bedroom to 4-bedroom options.
Private hot tub with every accommodation.
Douglas Lake right outside your door.

COME ENJOY the best weather of the year this fall!!!

Maybe the Smokies haven’t changed as much as you think.

Maybe you just need to discover a different side of them. ❤️

🌊🏔️ DANDRIDGE + DOUGLAS LAKE — THE SMOKIES’ BEST-KEPT SECRET.

Come discover the side of the Smokies you thought was gone.

And now for today’s very sad breaking news… 😂😭

🐶📱 LOCAL DOG DEVASTATED AFTER MOM AND DAD REFUSE TO TAKE HIM TO THE DOG SHOW.

He has been staring at his phone…
Crying uncontrollably…
Questioning every decision his parents have ever made…
And possibly searching online for a new family. 😂

Seriously, HOW do you explain to your dog that other dogs are going to Cowboys TODAY showing off how cute, talented, goofy and downright AWESOME they are…

…and he has to stay home?!?!

🚨 DON’T DO THIS TO YOUR DOG. 🚨

Bring that four-legged superstar out and enter them in one of our fun categories — including the question Douglas Lake has been waiting to answer:

🏆🌊 WHICH DOG MOST REPRESENTS DOUGLAS LAKE?!

Your dog has seen the video.
Your dog knows what’s happening today.

Don’t make us post a crying video of YOUR dog next. 😂😭🐾
