Feels Like Home "Lake front" Lake Watauga in the TN Hills

Relax and experience the beauty of Eastern Tennessee in our spacious (2100 sqft) and comfortable home away from home. Settle in to one of our three private bedrooms, then head to the fully-appointed kitchen to grab a snack or fire up the grill to enjoy the lake and mountain views while you prepare a meal. Enjoy floor-to-ceiling windows in our living room and game room for that mountain view from the indoors.
For the rest of your stay you can enjoy fireside chats, fishing and swimming in famous Lake Watauga from our private double deck boat dock with room for your boat, jet ski or kayak relax in the hot tub, or play pool and/or cards in our game room. With so many options, there's sure to be something fun for all ages and interests.
For more exploring, our cabin is centrally located just a short drive from many tourist attractions. Visit one of several marinas located on Lake Watauga to rent boats, kayaks, jet-skis, and other water-sport equipment. Or, bring your own boat and launch it at the closest marina (approximately 5 minutes from our cabin).
Plan a hike to nearby waterfalls, or Grandfather Mountain. Head about 30 miles east to Boone, NC and visit the Tweetsie Railroad and wander the beautiful campus at Appalachian State University.
Plan a visit to Bristol Motor Speedway, or head west about 20 miles to visit one of the nations oldest covered bridges in Elizabethton, TN. If you're visiting on a Friday or Saturday night, Elizabethton also has a drive-in theater that plays current films. Wander the antique shops, or enjoy a classic Eastern Tennessee meal in Johnson City. So much adventure and relaxation to be enjoyed, you're sure to want to visit again!
Although we love our four-legged friends, pets are not permitted.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Host was wonderful and had great communication!! House was beautiful and pictures do not do it justice! Two families and a total of 8 of us, there was plenty of space and the pool table was a huge hit, and the views from the living room and porch were breathtaking, felt very secluded and private. Saw deer the entire time we were there. Plenty of kitchen utensils to cook meals. We would definitely stay again, none of us wanted to leave!

Stay on Watauga Lake

Great place to stay and the host was very responsive to all questions we had. Great view of the lake from the balcony, were even able to see a bear down below. Definitely is a difficult walk to the boat dock, but can drive down to it. Would definitely stay again.

Our stay was absolutely incredible! The cabin was spotless, beautifully furnished, and had everything we could possibly need. The large windows and stunning lake views made every morning feel like a postcard. The location was peaceful and private, yet still close to the water and outdoor activities. The host was responsive, friendly, and made the whole process effortless. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway — we will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to everyone!

We really enjoyed the billiards table; all 6 of us spent a lot of time sharpening our skills at it.Also, loved the beautifully wood crafted Jack Daniels card table/barrel! We all played various rounds of card games on it. The other area we enjoyed about this lofty scenic chalet, was its front lanai overlooking the lake!And just around the corner from it we enjoyed using their gas/charcoal grill! Just a little further down from the grill was the outdoor fish carved metal barrel for bon fires which we enjoyed each night we there!Absolutely marvelous arrangement of indoor and outdoor amenities for those kind of activities!Of course, the one area that we’d like to enjoy on our next visit, will be the use of their boat dock several steps below this Mystical Majestic Loft!
