Great stay!! Cozy place, with fireplace and hot tub. Would advise to stop by the grocery store before coming, unless you’re wanting to travel for food.
Amenities were nice, cabin was clean. The microwave stopped working after the first use, and could not be fixed, so we weren’t able to use some of the food we brought. The hot tub stopped working after the first night, but it was fixed by the next day. All in all, a good trip for our family.

Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad to hear your family enjoyed the cabin and had a good trip overall.
We would like to clarify a few points regarding the amenities mentioned. The microwave was fully operational at check-in and remained in use for the first two days of your stay. We were notified afterward that it had stopped working-the day before you checked out, at which point it was determined to have been damaged during use. The hot tub stopped heating because you and your guest caused the water level to be reduced below the minimum operating requirements for the heater to operate. Once we were made aware, our team responded promptly: the hot tub was immediately refilled and returned to normal operations; and the microwave has since been replaced for future guests.
While we are always happy to address concerns as quickly as possible, we do rely on guests to use amenities as intended so they remain fully functional for everyone. We appreciate your visit and are glad these issues did not prevent your family from having a good overall experience.
Everything was perfect. Beautiful view day and night. So many things to do as well that are close by. We liked that there are things there fir kids to do. We are definitely planning to do it again next year so we can bring our kids.
We absolutely loved our stay at Watauga Lake. This cabin was spectacular with the views and our family absolutely loved our time at the cabin. The owners and managers were top notch! We look forward to coming back next year abd renting this exact cabin (home) again!!
We had a fantastic time! Beautiful property with a unique and wonderful location. Very clean, well stocked and good communication. Would definitely go back.
Our family of five had an excellent time at Matthews overlook. The house was fresh and new looking inside. Everything was clean and well maintained. The host was great to work with. We would definitely stay here again if we headed back to Watauga lake.
Great communication about check in, facility and check out. Cabin was perfect for 5 adults. The only thing we noticed was a way to light the grill would be great. (Could not get the ignition switch to work)
If you’re looking for seclusion but still be close to civilization, this was it. I was by myself taking a few days away from the family for a reset and it was fabulous. Very little traffic noise, actually there was hardly any. And there were fireflies at night. It was great
