Secluded getaway

This place was so cool! It was tucked away in the mountains with beautiful views everywhere you looked. We didn't want to leave the porch. The host could be more accommodating and friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone and give it 5 out of 5 stars.

Wonderful Mountain/Lake Retreat - Perfect Place to Unplug and Relax

Highly recommend this home - it is very clean and spacious. An excellent location with mountain views, lake access, hiking trails and waterfalls nearby. Judson has excellent communication and made sure we had everything we needed including rentals of kayaks, canoes, and fishing poles. This lovely home was perfect - we thoroughly enjoyed cooking on the grill, talking around the fire pit, and observing the beautiful nature and wildlife from the one of a kind custom deck. Great owners and great place. Looking forward to returning already!

Great Getaway!

We had a wonderful weekend at Watauga Lake staying here at this country home. It was very roomy and all 9 of the adults we had in our group had plenty of personal space as well as big enough spaces for all of us to hangout in the living room and dining room. Although we spent most of our time hanging out on the back deck that is surrounded by sliding glass doors. We went in the end of August and enjoyed the beautiful 85 degree weather during the day and the 60-65 weather at night. We had a great time on the lake and using the kayaks and canoes that Judson had let us use during our stay. Definitely recommend anyone to rent this property for a relaxing weekend out in the beautiful Watauga Area!

Mountain Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay on this property. Communications were timely and thoughtful with the property manager. The house was very clean and well stocked with essentials and was comfortable and roomy. I appreciated not having to bring extras or shop once we got here. I was able to link up my phone to the wi-fi and laptop to the internet. Cable TV and Netflix worked great. This home is situated in a charming pastoral setting. We were invited to pet the horses! It was a real treat to have evening sunsets on the porch looking at the Blue Ridge Mountains and morning coffee and breakfast in the screened porch looking at the well groomed grounds and barn. Sadly we did not have a chance to get down to the lake access point. I hope we will be able to the next time.

Perfect Setting

This is the perfect property if you want to get away and unwind… coffee every morning with the mountains in the background… fishing, swimming & boating on nearby Watauga lake…. The owners were awesome, brought us a brand new grill to cook on when the other one went out… left us kayak’s & canoes to use for our stay…. The house is just as pictured… every Home convenience that you would need… very clean!!….. more than enough room for everyone to either be together or go chill separately… only FYI that I have is definitely go to the store before you get to the house… things are a bit out and after driving all day… I had to get back out and drive for another 30 mins to a store…lol… so definitely get what you need on your way in… owners are super easy to get in touch with if you’re in need of anything…. And I really can’t stress enough how clean this property is… my family and I use vrbo all the time to vaca… I typically feel like I have to wipe things down or I don’t feel comfortable getting in the bed’s because the sheets don’t always look clean…. Didn’t feel that way at all at this property… was able to come right in and relax… 100% recommend staying here…. Talked to several neighbors in the area and they were all really nice too!!
