Located less than a mile from Watauga Lake with Private Boat launch (bring your boat!) Canoes and kayaks can be provided upon request. Watauga Lake is the 3rd cleanest lake in the country and has 105 miles of bordering National Forest. Beech Ski resort is only a 35-minute drive and Sugar Mtn is only 45 minutes away. Bristol Motor Speedway is a 55-minute drive. The Ranch House sleeps 9. Master with king bed; bedroom 2 with queen bed and pull out futon; bedroom 3 has a queen bed; bedroom 4 has two full beds; couch in basement and living room. Wonderful large deck with Adirondack chairs with views of mountain range. Covered front porch. Fully stocked kitchen with oven, microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher and pots/pans.

Outdoor fire pit with wood included. Nice walking trail with 360 degree views. Pets considered but please contact us to discuss. Motor boat rentals available thru the local marina. A fisherman's dream . Skiers paradise - water like glass. White water rafting, horseback riding, hiking, skiing and fishing. Located in the country but convenient to many neighboring vacation villages like the college town of Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Grandfather Mtn, Mountain City and Johnson City.
WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT WATAUGA LAKE AREA?
Watauga Lake is the 3rd cleanest lake in the country and surely one of the most beautiful. There are beautiful mountains surrounding it and more than half of Watauga Lake's shoreline of 105 miles lies within the Cherokee National Forest and cannot be developed. Often you can view the local Bald Eagles that soar the lake. Recreational uses include boating, fishing, jet skis, wake boarding, tubing, water-skiing, swimming, camping, etc. Fish species include Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout, Walleye, both Large Mouth and Small Mouth Bass, Crappie, Fresh Water Drum and Catfish.
Close by to the Ranch House you can take many day trips like hiking to favorite spots. Some local favorites are Grandfather Mountain, the Appalachian trail on Roan Mountain, and Linville Falls. If Fly Fishing interests you, the Watauga River and the South Holston Rivers are close by with world class trout fishing. We are also close to some great whitewater rafting, kayaking and tubing rivers as well. If touring a winery is of interest you will only be 11 miles from Watauga Lake Winery. Boone is the home of Appalachian State University which brings lots of fun to the area. ASU Football, concerts and local Breweries just to name a few. Another huge draw to the area is the proximity to the Bristol Motor Speedway. Everyone who likes racing loves the "Fastest Mile in Racing" which is the Food City 300.
We are located around 2000 Ft in elevation so you can expect cool mountain temps with a gentle breeze. Autumn brings beautiful fall colors with even better views. In the winter time, skiing and snow boarding are enjoyed at nearby Sugar and Beech Mountain.
