Watauga Lake Getaway

Beautiful property. Spacious bedrooms. Fully stocked kitchen. Plenty of outdoor seating areas - covered and uncovered. We enjoyed having meals outdoors on the deck, a fire in the firepit and relaxing in the living room. A great place for our group of 3 couples.

Trip interrupted by hurricane

The first 5 days were great. The advance rains from Hurricane Helene started Monday and progressed through the week. We had to change plans daily and we were all but cabin-bound by mid-week. I purchased a trip insurance policy through the company you recommended and filed a claim. It has been 8 days and I have not had any response, other than claim submitted. There is no contact info or person to call. Very disappointing.

Great house

My family and I stayed for 3 nights while attending my nieces wedding. The house was clean and the kitchen well stocked with anything we needed during our stay. We really enjoyed the lake views and the kids had a great time with the kayaks on the lake. Getting around was a little stressful as we didn’t have good cell service and basically no navigation. Other than that it’s a great house in a beautiful location and I would definitely stay there again next time we visit East TN.

Great place!

This house has everything you could need for a Great Lake house stay. We enjoyed the stocked kitchen, the lake amenities and watercraft, the beds were cozy and in general had a great time. I’d say the weirdest part is the property rental company-answers to questions feel more like AI rather than real people, but in general at least my questions got answered. We plan to rent this place again!! Such a great time!

Fantastic Cabin

This cabin and property was absolutely beautiful! The cabin was very well stocked. The view was fantastic! The only issue that we came across was the steepness of the walkway. A handrail would have made this much easier on getting to and from the lake. A member of our family has leg issues and it was a bit difficult for them walking up or down the steep sidewalk. Overall we had an amazing week at the cabin on the lake! We would love to stay here again!

Great cabin

The cabin was very comfortable and well equipped with everything needed for a stay, especially the kitchen. The rooms are very spacious so we didn’t feel we were crowded at all. Being right on the lake was great for activities. Deb, our guest contact responded very quickly to the couple of questions we had and the cabin was extremely clean. We would highly recommend this cabin.

Fun Getaway

Great place with a lovely view right on the lake, easy drive from Boone. Well stocked, they thought of everything from kcups, to bath bombs, games, and kids toys. Plenty of room for two young families. Everything was clean and worked. Even though we got rained out from enjoying the lake toys and fire pit we enjoyed cooking and watching the kids play. We hope to come back when it’s better weather to get on the water.

Wonderful weekend getaway at lake front log cabin

This weekend we went to this lake front log cabin for a weekend getaway with some friends. It was a perfect house at perfect location. Super clean and well stocked with everything you need. The weather was not helping as it rained the entire day. Host was very kind to let us check out late to enjoy the boat and lake next day. Everyone said we would like come back when weather was warmer.

We loved it!

We stayed and brought our 11 month old and 7 year old. We had a wonderful time making core memories for our 7 year old. The lake is beautiful and sitting at the fireside at nighttime was our favorite part. The cabin itself is beautiful and had more than enough space for us plus several more if we chose too. The owners respond very quickly to any messages and there were no issues with our stay other than, not being able to find the fishing rods.

Secluded, adventure, 45 mins from Boone

This location is the best of all worlds. You have the quietness and seclusion of a deep-in-the-woods lake. All of the fun you can have on the water with a private dock and water toys. 30 mins from a TON of great hiking trails, including the AT. And if you have the itch to spend a day in town you can make it to Boone or Banner Elk in less than 45 mins. 5 star vacation property!

Awesome house!

Everything was great. Right on the water, and stocked with everything you need outside of your own personal food. Kayaks were awesome and having our own personal dock was fantastic. The stairs to the water will give you a workout but what’s being out in nature without a little exercise. We’ve stayed at a lot of homes on Watauga Lake and this one ranks up there at the top. Being on the water was a huge plus so that the kids could go swim whenever they wanted. Anyone that stays here will have a great time and lots of quality family time.
