Great lake front cabin. Cozy inside with full size hot tub and fire pit. Pet friendly with fenced deck all the way down to the dock. 1 hr to Johnson city and Bristol. Will be back again.
House is well stocked with everything you could need. Views are awesome and the fire pit and outdoor fireplace make the outdoor experience warm and cozy.
Beautiful place for a family vacation on Watauga Lake. Great for a small family trip. Private with gorgeous lake views. Nice home and well stocked kitchen. Spent most of my time on the porch taking in the mountain air and lake views.

Beautiful home!
Everything was perfect! We would highly recommend this house to anyone! Would definitely stay here again.
This was our second year staying here, and it was just as perfect as the first. We love starting mornings in the hot tub and ending evenings by the outdoor gas fireplace. The private dock, tucked into a peaceful cove, is a beautiful spot for lounging and we especially appreciated being able to keep our rented pontoon there overnight. The setting is absolutely stunning—quiet, picturesque, and right on the water. The home is comfortable, pet friendly, and has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. We’ll definitely be back!
We really enjoyed our stay at the property once we found it. Make sure you arrive for the first time in daylight as the roads are hard to navigate if you are unfamiliar with them.
This was an organized and well supplied beautiful cabin and location on the lake. Being set in a cove and staying on weekdays it was very quiet and peaceful. If I need to include a fault it is the grill that was in terrible condition and unusable. We had a perfect vacation.

Beautiful Location
Enjoyed the facility it was very nice. I was a bit further away from the area of Elizabethton than I had thought. Other than the distance of drive to Elizabethton everything else was very enjoyable.
This was an amazing getaway! The house had everything you would need. Felt very comfortable and homey! We used the pedal boat and hung out on the dock. Also enjoyed just sitting on the deck overlooking the water. Peaceful and relaxing.
Our second time at this property. It is beautiful, lots of time spend in and on the water. Dogs had a great time soaking up sun on the large deck. There are MANY stairs down to the lake so keep this in mind with pets and family.

We had a great weekend! The house is very clean and comfortable.
This is a beautiful house! We didn't need anything except for a coffee pot. I would recommend going to a grocery store before getting to the lake house. We enjoyed grilling, using the hot tub, and playing the great selection of board games!
The home was wonderful. Peaceful quiet location on the cove. We brought our boat ex access launch was only 10 minutes away. Home was stocked wonderfully with everything you need and more. We loved all the games to choose from, the fire pit and multiple fireplaces. Pristinely clean upon arrival, host was very attentive. Cell service was a bit of an issue for us, but we made it ok. Internet excellent, such a great family vacation thank you!
Absolutely beautiful home. Gas Fireplace inside and out was perfect. Grill was good! Could use some new cooking pans, but the place was absolutely wonderful. No cell service but had good internet so that wasn't a problem at all. We will definitely rent this in the future. Host was extremely responsive to any questions and provided sound answers and solutions. Thank you for a wonderful memory and weekend!
Absolutely wonderful stay at this home. Conveniently located right on the water. Tastefully appointed with wonderful decor. Just a great layout with plenty of room for three couples and two pets. Kitchen was well stocked. Great outdoor fireplace on the porch and an additional firepit. We also loved the hot tub. Open and quick communication with the owners for any little question we had. I highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you!
My partner and i stayed for a week and would like to come back sometime in 2024. The house was super cozy, with lots to do right there. The views of the lake were incredible, since the trees had no foliage and we were able to see far down the lake from the porch. We brought lots of wood and enjoyed warm fires on the back porch after dinner. The hot tub was clean and a nice touch on cool evenings. The owner was very responsive and provided a very detailed binder that answered any question a renter might have.
