Partner with Douglas Lake Insider
Douglas Lake Insider is part of the Scenic Stay Guides network. We work with a small number of partners who are a genuine fit for Douglas Lake travelers — not generic Smokies tourism.
Who reads this guide
Readers come to Douglas Lake Insider with a specific question: is Douglas Lake the right base for their trip? They are comparing stay areas, planning around boat access, looking at water levels, and deciding whether to stay on the lake or closer to Gatlinburg. They are not browsing — they are planning.
That means the right partners here are hyper-local: properties and services that serve the Douglas Lake area specifically, not the broader Smokies region.
Who we partner with
- Cabin and vacation rental owners on or near Douglas Lake
- Boat rental operators and marinas serving the lake
- Local outfitters, guides, and experience providers
- Brands that serve lake and outdoor travelers
If your guests are not specifically lake travelers — if you serve the Pigeon Forge strip, Gatlinburg attractions, or general Smokies visitors — this is probably not the right fit.
How it works
Partnership formats, pricing, disclosure policy, and the full inquiry process are handled through Scenic Stay Guides. Send a short note to partnerships@scenicstayguides.com with what you offer and who your typical guest is. We will take a look and follow up if there is a fit.
We are a small team. We respond to every note but it may take a week or two.
