Welcome to Knasgowa!
Knasgowa, meaning "Heron" in the Cherokee language, symbolizes peace and harmony. We decided to name the cabin as a tribute to these birds that often fish behind the cabin.
This private (Direct Access) lakefront retreat features 3 king bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. It comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests and 2 dogs. Situated on 8 private waterfront acres with just a few steps to Douglas Lake makes the backyard truly feel endless.

Amenities
The location of the lake house was amazing! It was secluded and had great water frontage. The house comfortably accommodated my family of four. We enjoyed our stay at Joe's well-appointed house. Even though the water was not full in the lake yet, we had a great time and would recommend it to others. C

This house has everything you need
The drive was easy once we tackled the steep driveway for the first time. Such an easy check in. Very clean home. Comfortable beds. The Pac Man table video game was a hit with my sons. We do wish the hunting arcade game that was shown in the online listing pictures was working. The hot tub was nice once we balanced the chemicals in it as the PH was really high and there was no chlorine / bromine tablets in the dispenser . And although this is a lake house, it would be beneficial to those who book this to know when the lake levels will be high enough to enjoy the lake. We did not do our research and were not aware the area around this house would be dry because the water was just starting to be released at the dam Barbara

This was actually the second time we have stayed at this home. It is clean and cozy.
We have made so many memories there.
We hope to be able to come back again when the opportunity presents.
I appreciate the quick responses from the host and the cleanliness of the home. We had everything we needed.
