This is the cutest cabin we’ve ever stayed in. Beautiful location, comfortable furniture, excellent indoor and outdoor hang spaces. A true gem!

We loved staying here! I loved the river access it was perfect for swimming and the many adventures my sons made-up. We cooked at the house every morning and almost every night and it had everything we needed. We loved the fires and hot tub at night and caught fireflies with the kids.Thanks so much for creating one of our best summers.

Our family had what may have been the best trip ever here. The home was spacious with generous supplies stocked. The view was amazing, and the surroundings peaceful. The beds were comfy and the home well kept and clean. We will be back.

This is the best place we have ever stayed at! The house was immaculate and the owner thought of every little detail to make our stay perfect. We had an issue getting inside when we got there (it was my fault) and the owner contacted us right away to help. We spent mornings on the porch looking over at the Watauga River and nights at the fire pit and hot tub. The owner even left a fairy scavenger hunt and my daughter had the best time with it! The area is peaceful and beautiful! We saw a doe and a fawn every morning on the property. We have stayed at a lot of places when we have come to the mountains in the past and I have never wanted to return to them, but this one is one I will return to every year if it’s available!
