Outdoor Living in Its Purest Form

Life at Still Water is shaped by the rhythms of the lake and the softness of mountain light. Mornings stretch out on the upper balcony, evenings gather around the fire pit, and the hot tub sits ready beneath open sky.

A private new dock—with a dedicated slip—invites effortless access to the lake, just steps from your back door.

A Community that Reflects the Same Intention

Still Water rests within Waterside on Douglas Lake, a gated community shaped by thoughtful amenities and an elevated sense of ease. Guests enjoy:

  • A saltwater pool with pavilion and gathering spaces

  • A private boat launch

  • A community dock

  • Dry boat storage

  • Waterfront Walking Trail 

  • Secure Gate Access Neighborhood

Comfortable Accommodations

Still Water welcomes up to eight guests with space to breathe, restore, and take in the stunning expanse of Douglas Lake and the Smoky Mountains—each guest suite offers its own perspective on the natural beauty that surrounds it.

The main-level master suite is a sanctuary of its own—wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, softened by natural light, and designed to quiet the mind. The king bed is designed for restoration and relaxation. The spa-like master bath frames a soaking tub perfectly positioned for lake views, while a custom-crafted wardrobe and private office complete the retreat.

The lower level features two guest suites: the first with a queen bed and the second with four spacious custom built bunkbeds. Each guest suite is crafted with the same attention to comfort and quiet luxury found throughout the home. Thoughtfully separated for privacy by a shared bathroom, each suite offers guests their own sleeping quarters, serene views of the lake, and refined finishes that elevate the experience of retreat.

A spacious family game area anchors the lower level—a place for slow mornings, unhurried conversation, or evenings gathered after a day on the water. Here, the soft furnishings and warm textures create a sense of ease.

Just beyond, doors open to the outdoor living terrace, where the hot tub, fire pit, and waterfront pathway await. Whether guests seek solitude or connection, the lower level offers moments to savor.
