About this property

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!

Weekend stay

We had stayed in 2 of the other rentals on this property. This one is newer overall, but on last day it rained and there were several leaks around the windows etc... We left early. The owners said it was unusual that this happened.

Another great visit to the Magnolia Cabin

A great little cabin for the two of us. It was a short visit and no fishing becasue the river was still muddy but we love sitting on the deck and watching the water and birds. We'll be back in the spring.

Sweet Little Jewel

This place was absolutely cozy. We had everything we needed. I could tell that things were very thought out. The best place I’ve ever stayed at. The water was so relaxing . There was plenty of room for our 4 adult children to come visit and eat dinner with us. We can’t wait to come back. We’ve told our friends about the property and now they want to rent a cabin here too!

Wedding

We stayed here since we had a family wedding in town. Needed a place to "get away" from the daily life. We will be staying here again when we come back to Tn. Thank you for sharing your place with us.

Lovely

Nice little cabin in a beautiful location, with a perfect water view. Nice shower, comfortable bed. Porch had railings and gates so we could let our dogs sit out there and look for squirrels. Our Mayze would have liked to see more. We stayed during hurricane Helene, power as out for most of our stay. It was a challenge but we managed. We were happy to have a safe place to stay. The owner did email to check on us. We would stay there again, just not during hurricane season. f

Funeral

We enjoyed the cabin very much except for the thin, not-soft toilet paper and the dust on the bedroom fan. Beautiful location- peaceful and not a lot of bugs.

Cute stay

We enjoyed our stay at the magnolia cabin. The cabin was cleaned and stocked with towels and kitchen supplies. We brought our dog and the porch was enclosed so we weren’t concerned. Only negative that we had was- yes it was a cabin right on the river, but you had to access the water behind the main cabin. Which during our weekend that main cabin was filled with people so it was always crowded going down to the river so we only went down there once during our weekend trip.

Wonderful Cabin

Had a great stay at the Magnolia Cabin. Located on the river and in a country setting, made it a wonderful stay. Cabin was very clean and was as described. The washer/dryer are not in the cabin but located in a common area of the other rentals. No big deal as it was a short walk from the cabin. Had to contact the property manager during our stay as the gas grill ran out of propane. Property manager responded promptly with a replacement, and I was back to cooking in no time. Cabin has good Wi-Fi and 2 TV's, one in living area and other in bedroom. Overall, it was a great stay, and I would rent again.

Great cabin, very peaceful setting.

The cabin is wonderful. Very cozy and quiet. Will visit again. The only minor thing I found possibly incorrect in the listing was there is not a washing machine on the property that I could locate. I didnt need it but it may need to be clarified in the listing. Thanks!
