This cabin was amazing. Had beautiful views, hot tub was an added plus, the beds were comfortable and Wi-Fi worked great around the house. It had all the necessities. Also, there was a crib in the upstairs room that worked great for our little one. The book inside was well thought out with activities in the area and restaurants to visit. We will definitely return and recommend to others. Richard was great at communicating and we thank him for sharing his cabin with us. Too short of a trip to enjoy it all.

Seems almost a lie to give 5 stars, as the view is 10 stars all on its own. Everything was outstanding (house was very clean and full of amenities) and while it is secluded, there are plenty things to do within a 20-30 minutes drive. Richard (host) was very helpful and quick to respond to questions. I am already planning for another booking here.

Amazing Summer Vacation

The property is well stocked with essentials, the blackstone grill is easy to use, overall very clean. Lots of wildlife in and around the house. The porch is amazing!We saw bears, bucks, does, baby turkeys, snakes, and skunks. We will gladly choose to stay here again.

This was a very lovely property. You could tell that this was also someone’s home away from home because it showed in every detail. There was a very helpful and detailed binder with information on the cabin and its facilities. A lot of attention to detail and great hospitality. The views were breathtaking with wonderful sunsets over the lake. The owner was happy to keep in touch and was even willing to switch our dates due to an intense winter storm coming in. The only downside was the hot tub, which is a great size, but was not sheltered. We weren’t able to use it much due to the cold winds blowing. All in all, we enjoyed our experience and have decided to book again in the fall! Thank you for hosting us!

Cabin with beautiful view and amenities

We had a great stay at this cabin. The deck was very spacious and clean and we were able to use the grill and enjoyed dinner out there.The hot tub was very clean and well maintained. The only drawback is the location as it’s at least 30 mins from the nearest town where you can get decent groceries and restaurant. Even though it’s weather, we still saw dead bugs (beetles, lady bugs, moths) on the window sill but that’s part of being in the nature. The view and the peaceful environment compensated for everything!

Rejuvenation!

This home away from home was so much more than we were anticipating. The incredible vista was breath-taking awe inspiring! The weather made it different each day. The cabin was exquisitely fresh and clean with simple but well appointed decor. The kitchen had everything we needed. Much of our time was spent outside in the different seating areas on the multiple decks enjoying immersion in nature; love the swing! We left renewed and refreshed and would go back in a heartbeat. Rick was very pleasant and responsive.

** Absolute Perfection Near Watauga Lake!**We had an incredible stay at this beautiful Tennessee cabin! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how spotlessly clean everything was. The attention to detail is amazing—the kitchen was incredibly well-stocked with everything we could possibly need, and having a Blackstone grill, as well as a washer and dryer, made our stay so convenient and comfortable.The cabin itself is beautifully and thoughtfully furnished, but we spent just as much time outside. The large outdoor sitting areas are perfect for relaxing, and ending our evenings in the hot tub while soaking in the amazing views was the absolute highlight of the trip.If you are looking for a peaceful, well-appointed getaway near Watauga Lake, this is it. We can’t wait to come back!
