We had a lovely stay. The house is set up perfectly for a large group. Everything was clean and it’s a good location. We could only get the main floor tv to work but no matter as we were outdoors all weekend. Overall it is a great stay.

This Watauga Lake home is really well organized for short rentals with labeled cabinets and switches and thorough instructions. We were in Butler to attend a wedding along with our son & his family as well as our daughter’s family. The home has three levels and each level has a bedroom with king bed and adjoining space. Our daughter with children 5 & 3 stayed in the lower level which features a toy closet and children’s books. Our son, who needed to work remotely stayed in the upper level that has an office area. We all took advantage of the lake access, using paddle boards and kayaks provided.

The house was amazing! It truly had everything we needed for our stay! There were 8 adults and 4 kids that came to celebrate new years and it was such a great trip. The house was very clean and decorated so nicely. I wish there was a bit more seating in the living area, and some beds could use a foam topper but those are minimal suggestions! We would definitely stay again!

Very Nice Stay

This lake house was very clean and had so much to offer. We will definitely be staying again. The kitchen had the essentials for cooking our meals. There is towels for the lake which was nice so you don't have to pack extras. Highly recommend this place!!

Beautiful property. Spacious bedrooms. Fully stocked kitchen. Plenty of outdoor seating areas - covered and uncovered. We enjoyed having meals outdoors on the deck, a fire in the firepit and relaxing in the living room. A great place for our group of 3 couples.

Great cabin

The cabin was very comfortable and well equipped with everything needed for a stay, especially the kitchen. The rooms are very spacious so we didn’t feel we were crowded at all. Being right on the lake was great for activities. Deb, our guest contact responded very quickly to the couple of questions we had and the cabin was extremely clean. We would highly recommend this cabin.

Great place!

This house has everything you could need for a Great Lake house stay. We enjoyed the stocked kitchen, the lake amenities and watercraft, the beds were cozy and in general had a great time. I’d say the weirdest part is the property rental company-answers to questions feel more like AI rather than real people, but in general at least my questions got answered. We plan to rent this place again!! Such a great time!
