NEVER BEEN TO WATAUGA LAKE? Watauga Lake is an extremely beautiful and clean recreational lake (3rd cleanest in the country) located in the Cherokee National forest with 105 miles of shoreline. More than half of the lake is mountainous national forest and cannot be developed, so its really naturally beautiful and not crazy overpopulated with boats. This hidden gem is known to be one of the most beautiful lakes on the east coast. Watauga lake is great for boating, jet-skiing, tubing, skiing/wakeboarding, fishing, swimming, kayaking etc. Downstream of the dam is a very popular whitewater rafting area as most of the local companies in TN and NC bring their patrons here. Hiking is also very popular as the Appalachain trail and a couple of small waterfalls are nearby. This property is also close to attractions in Boone, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock, NC and also attractions in eastern TN. We have great sunny summers with no mosquitoes and beautiful fall colors when the leaves change. In the winter time, skiing is a popular option at nearby Sugar and Beech Mountain. This is a spectacular mountain and lake getaway.

We felt like we could really relax at this house. It was perfectly equipped And in a beautiful location with a boat ramp right next door. We swam in the little cove and enjoyed a quiet weekend with family.
The house was perfect for our family vacation on the lake. There was plenty of room and it was clean! The road to get in pulling a boat and the walk down to the lake were a little difficult - but would definitely come back.
First of all, I have never experienced a more organized host that made this super easy. Second, this is one of our favorites for vacations! We were there with our adult kids and dogs, and everyone had a blast. The lake is absolutely beautiful and the location of the cabin is perfect. The Fish Springs marina was also a blessing on renting a pontoon and was not far away. None of us wanted to go home!!!
This was our 2nd year staying at this beautiful home. So quiet, peaceful, and beautiful surroundings. House was very clean and has everything you need.
The home is very well equipped with everything you need and the location is terrific. Very quiet, laid back trip with friends. The owner communicates extremely well. Would definitely return.
We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful property on the lake. Loved being right on the lake and the privacy here. We had no issues. The house was clean and the kitchen well-equipped. We appreciated the starter coffee pods. (There was a coffee pot as well as a keurig.) Plenty of towels and robes in the house as well as guest robes in the master bath. Shout out for the soaking tub! Some of the highlights were renting a pontoon boat to cruise the lake, kayaking and just enjoying the breeze from the lake on the front porch. The wifi was good. We also enjoyed having our dog along with us. The communication with Jenelle was very good. We didn't need her for any issues but I feel like we would have received a quick response if we did.
We loved the remoteness of this property. It was an excellent choice to be able to recharge and sit back and relax. Really enjoyed that you cannot hear any traffic noises and at night the area was not impacted by lights from development. Very peaceful. I do recommend renting a boat to explore this wonderful location.
Great property with wonderful water views and access. Tons of fish around the dock and boat access area. We also enjoyed not having a lot of other houses around, so the cove was very peaceful. Would definitely visit here again. Take saltine crackers to feed the blue gill at the dock, they will eat for hours.
Thank you for the thoughtful New Year care package! It was a wonderful gesture and greatly appreciated. Your effort to make the community feel valued is truly commendable.
Awesome from cabin experience to host communication
Will not hesitate to stay here again. Truly peaceful and amazing cabin. Host was always available to answer questions. Want to relax and decompress? LOOK NO FURTHER!
The property is a unique retreat right on the lake with a private boat dock available for our rental. It was perfect for our needs. We had a glorious time, even making smores over an outdoor fire. The property owner/manager went above and beyond to communicate with us. We did not lack for any information and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. I would certainly recommend this quiet property to enjoy the beautiful Watauga Lake and area.
The house is in really good shape and very clean. There were a lot of useful things in the house like wood, cleaning essentials, games, automatic vacuum cleaners and kitchen supplies. Everything was perfect.
The location of this property was exactly what we were looking for! Private, short distance to the water from the house, great views. The house was well equipped and the double refrigerator was key since there are not many restaurants close by. The lake is so beautiful, we rented a boat for the week and explored everyday and there were no crowds. We were totally comfortable while the kids were tubing and not concerned of other boaters. Just a fantastic time overall!
This place was perfect for a long guy’s weekend getaway! The setting is every bit as beautiful as the pictures show. We rented a pontoon boat from Fish Springs Marina, about a 20 minute boat ride from the house. We enjoyed paddling the cove and one of the boys caught a 4 pound largemouth! The kitchen was very well appointed for cooking. The fire pit was a highlight as the sun set and the covered porch with propane fire was a perfect alternative on a night of scattered showers. Management was very responsive leading up to the trip, and everything functioned in the house, so no need to contact them during our stay. Looking forward to coming back!
