About this cottage rental
RESCHEDULING IS AVAILABLE AS CALENDAR DICTATES. Catfish Cottage is a private waterfront vacation rental which provides beautiful mountain views depicting all seasons! PERFECT FOR A COUPLE GETAWAY! Maximum of four guests are allowed.
PLEASE READ HOUSE RULES BEFORE BOOKING. Dogs or cats are CONSIDERED, and guests are expected to be forthcoming on the number and type of pet. NO SMOKING -- NO PARTIES A private dock, for use by renters only, is a place where you can either dock your personal watercraft, use the canoe or fishing kayak provided, or a pontoon can be rented from nearby Fish Springs Marina or Lake Shore Marina. The Watauga River flows into Lake Watauga just a few hundred yards from Catfish Cottage which enables adventurers to kayak or canoe up the river for quite a distance. TVA controls lake level which they usually start to lower in late August or September. Water depth at the end of our dock has never been less than 8'. This lowering doesn't allow canoeing all the way to the rapids. Fishing is great in Lake Watauga, and a license, if needed, is obtainable less than two miles away at Watauga Lake Mercantile (see their website). They are also the closest for "forgot to get" items. Ready for another adventure? Walk, hike, bike or drive just a little over a mile away to the Lake Watauga Winery which is in an old restored schoolhouse and hear about the ghosts that have revealed themselves since the property was purchased! Mountain City is only 16 miles from Catfish Cottage. It's an easy route to two major grocery stores. From Mountain City, it's another 17 miles to the Virginia Creeper Trail in Damascus, VA traveling on Hwy. 91 or in the opposite direction, you can travel to Boone or Blowing Rock, NC on Hwy. 421 from Mtn. City. Or, leaving the cottage and going through Pioneer Landing to Hwy. 321, it's 16 miles to the outskirts of Boone and then on to Linville, Blowing Rock, etc. The Bristol Race Track is about 40 miles from the cottage. Lots to do from this location. Or, simply stay at the cottage and relax. This is a NON-SMOKING vacation rental. WIFI is available as well as a phone. DISH TV is in the cottage as well as several DVD's. HORSEBACK RIDING on nearby Roan Mountain - or in Boone, NC. BIKE RIDING either in nearby Hampton TN or the world-known VIRGINIA CREEPER TRAIL! What adventures there are to be had! Dogs /cats are CONSIDERED. Please inform owners of the type of dog/cat you have when booking your dates. The charge is $25 per dog/cat per stay for the extra cleaning required.

We will definitely return. Host was exceptionally accomodating. This could very well be the most relaxing week ever. The dock, availability of two kayaks, outstanding. The icing on the cake was the basket of ingredients to make smores.

Everything was super! Clean, quiet and comfortable. Beautiful views and surrounding mountains. If you have any physical limitations, you may not access the water quite so easily. Check to be sure water level is not down as ramp can be steep.

Very clean, cozy, beautiful place to stay!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2025
Beautiful place and great views. Cabin was very clean. Kayaks had broken seats so we couldn't use them. Driveway was super hard to back down. It needs to be graded to correct steep grade. There was room to turn around but they blocked off the space for no apparent reason. Had to reset the internet 3 times before the router worked. No cell service so be prepared with offline maps if you want to find anything.
