Beautiful Log Cabin on the Watauga River
Welcome to Watauga Flats!
Watauga Flats is a beautiful log cabin on the Watauga River in Valle Crucis with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. You will find custom wood features, skylights, and hardwood floors throughout. All of the bedrooms have classic upscale country decor. If a quaint riverside mountain cabin is what you are seeking, Watauga Flats delivers!
Located only a mile from the historic Mast General Store and Valle Crucis Riverfront Park, Watauga Flats is convenient and central to all the High Country offers. Boone is only 5 miles away, Banner Elk is about 9 miles away, and Blowing Rock is only 11 miles away. Snow skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, and ice skating are nearby, with Sugar Mountain Ski Resort and Appalachian Ski Mountain about 12 miles and Beech Mountain Ski Resort only 14 miles away. Hawksnest Snow Tubing and Zip Lines park is 11 miles from the cabin. Grandfather Mountain is less than 15 miles away, and Tweetsie Railroad is only 10 miles from Watauga Flats.
The main level features an open floor plan with high vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors. The cozy living room has a gas fireplace in the stacked stone wall, a flat-screen TV with paid programming, and skylights above that provide natural light. The banquet-style dining table seats up to 6 guests. The kitchen has gorgeous granite counters, high-end stainless appliances, and a large center island for preparing meals.
The main floor bedroom has a queen bed from which you can hear and see the nearby Watauga River. The main floor bathroom has a frameless glass-door tiled shower and a soaking tub. Upstairs, there are flanking bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with two twin beds. A full bathroom in the center has a step-in shower and services both upstairs bedrooms.

Fantastic Stay
The entire stay from beginning to end was FANTASTIC. Property owners are super easy to get in touch with and more than accommodating. We booked a two night stay for a family ski trip. Some snow came in the day we planned to leave and decided last minute to stay another night. We reached out they responded very quickly and were able to stay another night. Thank you guys!!!

Overall Nice Place
House was nice overall. Just some issues.
1. Was told check in was at 4pm. However when we arrived just after 4PM we couldn’t get into the house because the Landscaper was there cutting the grass and had the driveway blocked. We did’t get access until almost 5pm. After a 17 hour drive we were not happy having to sit in the car.
2. The back deck door lock did not work. Couldn’t secure the property. There was an alarm system but no instructions on how to use it.
3. Upstairs Shower leaked through the ceiling to the kitchen area. We couldn’t use it after one shower. We notified the property Manager who said they would send someone out the next morning but we never saw anyone the duration of the stay.
4. Bedroom 1 and 2 were very nice. Bedroom 3 could use softer mattresses. The ones in there are rock hard and onlt meant for small kids
Otherwise every thing alse was pretty nice

Pretty Cabin
The property and the cabin were both very nice. We were disappointed that there was no access to the river, which was the main reason we rented this cabin. The place was extremely clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch and the hot tub was so relaxing.
