Watauga Lake Home! Hot tub, kayaks, Slip access & Mountain View!

Whispering Pines has the best view of the mountains and overlooks the lake just a short walk downhill to the private marina. Slip #6 is available for your use as well as 2 kayaks.
The cabin sleeps 8-10 comfortably and is perfect for a couple families with or without children.
The mountain chalet is a 3 level home and has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths
• 1st floor Master bedroom has a King and full bath
• 2nd floor master has queen and full bath
• 3rd level bedroom has two twin beds, a loft with two beds and a kids hide away with one bed
• The 1st and 2nd level both have gas fireplaces

It doesn’t get prettier than this. One of our guests, described Watauga Lake as Lake Geneva in the NorthEast corner of Tennesee. Our house sits atop of the mountains in Appalachia at 4500 feet. Because we are in the Cherokee National Forest, there are very few homes on the lake which makes the views prettier than normal. In addition, the lake gets warm early in the season. You can swim from April through late October. It is a short walk to the private marina and gazebo, where there is a private covered marina; Fish Springs will bring a rental boat to an open slip for you if you'd like or you can bring one yourself. In the winter, it is an amazing home located 20 miles from a handful of skiing mountains including Sugar, Beech, and Appalachian. Our home, completed in late November 2009, looks like something straight out of a movie with driftwood trees inside the house as well as indoor and outdoor water falls. You can be busy every minute, or simply sit by the water's edge and relax.

Excellent Trip to a Quiet Part of Tennessee

We really enjoyed our stay at Whispering Pines, this property is set in a very quiet and secluded neighborhood near Lake Watauga. Its very cozy inside with multiple fireplaces and enough rooms to spread out when visiting with large groups. The hot tub is located in a perfect spot to provide some privacy. We spent a warm afternoon outside grilling and making s'mores in the fire pit. The house is located about half an hour from a proper grocery store in Elizabethton so stock up while your out. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Tennessee.

Fantastic. Just the place we needed.

Wonderful property and hosts. Just the place and time we needed to get away, relax and use as a home base as we explored johnson city and Kingsport. Mountains and lake were amazing. Would definitely book again. The place had everything we needed. A great place to just be in the moment.

Family vacation

The cabin was very nice. It was nice having the dock area to use for swimming and fishing. We enjoyed sitting outside under the covered deck because of the rainy week we had. The owner had contacted me several times to see how things were going. Plenty of room for every and we would definitely stay there again in the future.

We enjoyed our stay but it was misleading saying a short walk to the private deck . We enjoy walking but with a group that wasn’t considered a short walk and then inclines . We ended up driving up the road a ways and swimming at the lake . The house is perfect and host stayed in touch . We enjoyed our stay . Thank you

Owner accused me of having animals in the home and leaving it a wreck.

We have stayed in this home several times over the past few years and had to leave this trip 3 nights earlier than expected because I received a call that my mother was dying. We spent several hours cleaning the house before we left and I notified the owner we were leaving. He sent me messages saying that we could book make up days 5 days after we left. 7 days after we left it appears his cleaner showed up and blamed us for trashing the house, and said we had animals in the home which was untrue. The day after my mom died he decided to write a nasty review and sent photos that appear to be a rodent that got in his home some time after I left and before the cleaner arrived. He then accused me of leaving guests behind after we left. Completely outraged after so many good years visiting this home.

Family Vacation

Pros: We were amazed at the detail and workmanship in the cabin. The cabin was almost perfect for our stay. At one point, we had 6 adults and 4 children under the age of 5 staying in the cabin. We all had plenty of room and thoroughly enjoyed our time together. Tom responded to several issues at check-in in a timely manner. The flowering planters were a nice touch! We saw lots of wildlife, including a family of black bears. The fire pit was perfect for s’mores and family memories. The grill was very convenient and we used it often. The rockers, hammock and outdoor games were welcomed. The directions Tom gave made it easy to find the cabin. We are very glad to have had the boat slip available and thankful that Tom suggested reserving a boat early. The lake is absolutely gorgeous as we spent most days on/in it! Cons: We arrived about 30 minutes after check-in time, as requested by Tom, and contractors were still working and worked for another hour or so. Upon arrival, we found the refrigerator, freezer, oven, and general living areas in need of a good cleaning. There was no vacuum available for guests. (The housekeeper left hers for our use!) During our month long stay the construction crew showed up at the cabin twice, once with a two hour notice and one time without any notice. We found this to be an inconvenience.

Beautiful as always

This was the third year that we have stayed in this beautiful cabin. My family and I love it. We usually stay at the lake more but this year we just relaxed and enjoyed the cabin. The hot tub is amazing, the scenery is gorgeous. The cabin had everything that we needed including peace and quiet. It is so comfy and just feels like home. Tom is a wonderful host and checks to make sure you’re checked in and made it safely. We have never had an issue staying there so there has never been a need to reach out to him. The cabin is clean, well equipped, and just everything that my family and I need for a week away.

Great view, lots of activities, good for all ages!

Visited The area for the first time with other family members from around the US. First, the lake and mountains are gorgeous. The house gave us beautiful views looking over the trees. A little hilly 5 min. walk directly to the water/dock which we didn’t mind (or you can drive and park). Property owner helped direct us to pontoon rentals and fishing charters that were excellent. We had a pontoon rented for two days and were able to just keep it overnight at the properties dock and tie it up there instead of returning it and picking it up again. Although only 10 of us stayed there,, the ample table/counter seating allowed us to have our family staying in another house over for meals which meant we could all catch up over food and drinks! Definitely recommend shopping at grocery store about 30 min. Away and cooking as restaurants have limited hours and family time with large groups seemed better anyway. Kayaks and peddle boat put to use multiple times. Lake Watuaga was beautiful with an interesting history. Had some minor problems with hot tub but the owner responded immediately and we resolved it the first day. With several areas to hang, adults could catch up while kids did their kid thing. Girls stayed in the upstairs bedroom/loft which they loved as their little hideaway. Locals were super friendly. Also did caving with Appalachian Underground which I highly recommend.! Would def stay here again!

great rental at Watuga Lake

The cabin is beautiful and well maintained. communication with Tom the property manager was excellent. It’s a short walk down to the boat ramp. Definitely recommend a boat rental for the duration of your stay. Very relaxing and listing just as described. The hot tub didn’t work even after calling people to look at it which was kind of a bummer but all in all a great vacation!
