About this cabin rental
Bring the whole family — pups included* — to a warm and cozy cabin retreat, a perfect home base for outdoor adventure with access to a private dock on crystal-clear Watauga Lake overlooking the Appalachian Mountains. Enjoy hiking the AT, swimming, fishing, and boating by day, then unwind on the wraparound porch by the fire pit as the sun sets and you stargaze the night away. It’s the perfect getaway for you, your loved ones, and your pups as you relax, reconnect and make memories to last a lifetime.
Our cabin boasts a 26’ wall of windows to enjoy the stunning long range mountain views and the sunset from all three floors. With spectacular views from the wrap around porch, this cabin home has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a large 3rd floor loft. You'll also have access to our private dock for access to Watauga Lake.
The private dock** is located .2 miles downhill from the cabin on beautiful Watauga Lake. Swim, fish, or tie your boat off at the dock. Sit and relax on the benches while enjoying the lake.
First Floor: The open concept main floor has a family room with tv and gas fireplace, dining table that can accommodate 8, and an upscale kitchen with a farmhouse sink, gas stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave/convection oven, wine chiller and a large island with seating for 4. It is well stocked with all of the necessary cookware, appliances and accessories needed to make your meals. The master ensuite is located on the main floor, perfect for anyone who has trouble navigating stairs. It has a king bed with drawer storage underneath, a desk and a tv. In the bathroom there is a dual vanity, a separate toilet room, a walk in shower with dual shower heads, and a full size front load washer and dryer.

On the wrap around porch you will find a gas fire pit with rocking chairs perfect for making s’mores, 2 hanging chairs to relax and enjoy the mountain air while you cook your favorite dinner on the gas grill and eat at the outdoor table.
Enjoy the serene setting provided by the nearby mountains and lake, while benefiting from a convenient location just 10 miles from Mountain City and Elizabethton, and 30 miles from Boone, NC or Johnson City, TN for easy access to nearby amenities.

The cabin had plenty of room and great beds! The layout was great for family meals and fun and games. It was clean and the host was very responsive. The maintenance helped with the awning when we needed it. Unfortunately, the dock was not usable, which was the main thing we were looking for during our stay. The lake levels were too low and it is near the end of the cove. Suggest checking the lake levels if you plan to fish or use the dock. The cabin is surrounded by trees and the view from the porch is trees.

The property was immaculately clean and nicely appointed. We really appreciated the safety features, including the fire extinguishers throughout and the lights leading up the staircases. Our family rented a speedboat from the nearby marina for the day! We went tubing and exploring the lake which was a lot of fun. The dock was so nice to load and unload the boat. We wish that the extremely steep road leading up to the house was mentioned in the property description (it only mentions the incline of the walk from dock to house), especially for visitors who are not familiar with the region. Otherwise it has a spectacular view, gorgeous house, and the surrounding community has many year-round activities for the entire family.

Open air floor plan with noise made it difficult for family to rest at night. 2nd and 3rd floors never cooled. Beds were uncomfortable and fans need to be serviced. Master bath was very nice. Master bed was uncomfortable with heating pad mattress cover. Dock area in very low water with damaged properties surrounding it. Paddle boat was full of water. Washer smelled of mildew
