Sonya was outstanding in quickly responding to all questions and requests. The property is located in the awesome Lake Watauga area - what a great area to explore. The cabin was very clean and was provided with everything you would need for a relaxing stay. It was the perfect place for 2 older seniors.

Scouting trip to check out area and enjoy weather and views. Cozy cabin with everything you need and roomy enough for a family. Sandra was very responsive and helpful during our stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was well stocked, clean, and the location was convenient to all our activities. The host was quick to respond and helpful with one question we had. We were able to enjoy the hot tub on our second night, but it would have been nice if it was pre-heated for our arrival so that we could’ve used it both nights.

Great Cabin

With a little *leap* up the driveway, we made it to a well kept, warm and cozy place for my wife and kids to stay. So much better than a hotel and we loved having a kitchen. A bed for every kid!

Cabin in the woods

This is a beautiful cabin and i highly reccomend others to go for it and stay at the frog leap lodge. It is very convienient for you to go to the lake, spend time with your family and relax. The cabin also had everything needed for children. Its a very beautiful place. Very family friendly.

We LEAPED over this Lodge!

My family had a blast! The cabin was very easy to find and located on a quiet little road. Everything was so well cleaned and stocked with anything you might need! The owner was fantastic about communication and responded immediately to any of my questions! They have literally thought of everything and the cabin is even child safety proofed!! We will absolutely be coming back to this beautiful getaway!

Super nice place. Full of amenities. Nice secluded location. Owners very easy to work with. Sadly hurricane Helene hit this area too, so lots of downed trees around cabin. Water pressure low. And sadly no easy way to walk to cabin. I don’t recommend for anyone over 55, at least until either steps up the hill or most needed, the driveway fixed. I got stuck several times. Still, for younger, a winning cabin

Tranquility

The cabin was as described. Communication with the owner was great. Everything was clean and the Bally kitchen while smaller was very well equipped. We ran into some snafus with the heater and fireplace but the owner was able to get the heater quickly resolved and apologized about the fire place. We also had an issue with the hot tub which again she communicated with us and we were able to get it up and running to be use it our last day. We would absolutely stay here again if we were in the area and highly recommend the property.

Well-appointed cabin suitable for several travelers

Couldn't have asked for anything more in this cozy, nestled-in-the-woods cabin. Quiet location, with easy drives to multiple attractions. Everything was clean and comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the porches, swinging and relaxing in the hot tub.
