The cabin was so comfortable and lovely! It was well appointed and had everything we could’ve wanted or needed for a relaxing getaway. The mattresses were incredibly comfortable and the view was stunning. We hope to make this an annual trip!

This was a lovely home in a beautiful location overlooking the lake. Views from every room. Plenty of room and well stocked for cooking. Beds were very comfy. Large dining table, and large table on deck. Very nice hot tub. Appreciated all the instructions on how to use things. Nice quiet setting. Yes the driveway is steep but not an issue for us.

The property was great for our family! We all enjoyed the hot tub and the view from the front deck was amazing. The community boat dock that is available for use is a little farther from the house than we had hoped but the house and amenities in it made up for that.

Lovely Mountain Cabin

We stayed at this cabin while visiting family. The home had plenty of room for us all and was very clean and well appointed. The view was absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed the hot tub, dock for swimming, canoe and board games. The owner Paul was very responsive. We would definitely stay here again!

Amazing cabin! Beautiful views and very clean. Host was super and responded quickly to any questions I had. The driveway was steep for motorcycles but it is on a mountain. I would not hesitate to return in a vehicle and stay at this charming home Thank you to our host for helping make our stay such a positive experience!

Beautiful view!

We enjoyed our stay, comfortable private and views are amazing! As mentioned the access to the dock is a little challenging but that is to be expected. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need to prepare meals, beverages etc.

Mountain View & Lake View

Spent a long weekend with our family at this beautiful home. Had the best of both worlds with a mountain view and a lake view right out the back windows! Updated kitchen with everything we needed. Good communication with the owner. Enjoyed our stay!

Great views!! Loved sitting on the deck with fire pit & hot tub. Even when it rained, still able to enjoy views with all the windows. Liked the loft sitting area to read & relax with a view! House very clean & well stocked. Comfortable beds, nice having full bathrooms on each floor. We did need to drive to the dock as a little too long & steep of a walk from house for us. Rented a boat from Fish Springs Marina to spend a day on beautiful Lake Watauga. Enjoyed breakfast at Watauga Lake Mercantile. Friendly staff & great food, especially enjoyed the biscuits & gravy!

Great view

Beautiful cabin with a magnificent view. Paul ( owner ) is very responsive to questions and sent us a helpful to - do list of the surrounding area. The cabin is about a 45 min drive to Damascus, where we rented bicycles for the Virginia Creeper Trail. ( a downhill 17 mile beautiful bike ride) which I highly recommend. Just a short downhill walk from the cabin is the community dock where we spent a lazy day swimming,fishing and using the cabin’s canoe.

This place is just amazing!

We had 2 families with 8 total people. The house was perfect for this many people. We liked that the kids could all be upstairs and the adults sleep comfortably downstairs. The views are amazing and it was fantastic just sitting on the deck drinking coffee or anything else and just chatting taking in the view. The road is very very steep so just expect that but it is something that you get used to. The winery up the road has fantastic pizza and some solid wine as well. This house had things that many rentals lack and we appreciated because it saved us trips to the store on a few occasions. We would love to stay here again! Off the beaten path and just close enough to things to make an afternoon of an activity with time to get back to the cabin for dinner and relaxation!

Family trip 2024

We had a great vacation. The cabin was exactly as shown in pictures. We wanted a trip just to enjoy our family time and not have any scheduled events. We played games, we did rent a boat for the day, we went to the local Mercantile for breakfast one morning, we went to Linville Caverns one day, we used the grill a couple times. We had planned on using hot tub but we didn't end up using it. The outside balconies had beautiful views. We would stay again for sure!! Paul was very responsive to a couple questions I had. The big thing I will tell any future guest is read all descriptions, I miss read a couple things so there was some confusion in my planning but nothing major. Paul's description is very accurate. Also, I would not suggest driving a vehicle larger than an SUV, it is a very steep drive up, roads are narrow and some tight turns. We rented a 12 person van so our family of 8 could all ride together. Let's just say it added a little flare to the drive up and down from the cabin. Lol
