Magnolia Cabin

Magnolia Cabin is located at the headwaters of the trophy trout section on the beautiful Watauga River. Magnolia is a small 500 square feet private cabin equipped with modern appliances & granite counter tops. Relax on our back deck! A guest favorite…our back deck is the place to enjoy the great outdoors while watching the river go by. You might even see someone catching a fish! Featuring a sitting area and fire pit, this relaxed setting is the perfect place to unwind. This section of the Watauga River is a fisherman's paradise! You can walk off the large covered back porch down to a wadable river to fish, kayak, or watch wildlife. Located on a country road, you would think you are a long way from civilization, but travel four miles down the road and you can pick up anything you need. The cabin is fully equipped with linens and all household items. All you need to bring is personal items and food. We hope you will enjoy it as much we do! We look forward to meeting you!
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Another lovely visit
The river was too hiigh and unsettled for fly fishing but we had a relaxing week bird watching from the deck and visiting family in Johnson City. Many thanks to Phil for getting a repairman over to fix the minisplit. We'll be back in the fall!

Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling System
Both HVAC systems in the Magnolia cabin did not work. We were there in late April and the cabin was freezing. A caretaker was called, and he could not get the systems to work. We had to rely on a space heater to get the temperature up to a half way comfortable level. Other than that, things were good.

We love the Magnolia!
We found this place a few years ago and we now stay here every time we're in the area. It's so serene and quiet, yet close enough to town that you can quickly get anything you need. We'll be back next year for our annual trip!

The cabin by the river
We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at your beautiful cabin. The property grounds are very clean and was very private. Everything was just like the listing states. The one lane bridge going to the cabin was like going back in time. The old truck by the entrance was awesome. We were in town for the race at BMS and the drive was about 25 minutes. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We will be back.
