Canyon Dream - Private Dock, Firepit, & Fall Foliage at Watauga Lake

Canyon Dream is proudly hosted by Watauga Lake Vacations, run by a three-member team: Christie and Donaven Braun, and John Malo. We're all local residents who love calling the Watauga Lake area home, and we're excited to share it with you. Christie and Donaven are both Realtors who know the region inside and out. When we're not working, you'll find us on the lake, on the hiking trails, riding bikes, or relaxing by a campfire. John, a 26-year U.S. Army combat veteran, brings unmatched reliability, hands-on skills, and a deep love for the outdoors. In his free time he's usually out fishing, tackling projects, or exploring Jeep trails. From the moment you book, we take a hands-on, personalized approach so your stay is smooth, welcoming, and unforgettable. Relax, unplug, and enjoy your time at the lake.

Canyon Dream is hosted by Watauga Lake Vacations and is a lakefront cabin that boasts an easily accessed private dock directly in front of the home, large decks overlooking the secluded cove and mountain ranges. Unlike many vacation homes on Watauga Lake, this isn't a community access area, it is an exclusive private oasis in a quiet neighborhood. Another great benefit of this property is that it is just a 3-minute drive down a paved road to your large, flat, driveway with ample parking for vehicles and boat trailers. There are no steep drop offs or narrow gravel roads to navigate, and guests won't need a 4-wheel drive or SUV regardless of the weather. Any vehicle can easily access the property, helping to make this a prime, low stress destination. The best way to get around the lake is with a pontoon. If you're in a hurry, we recommend jet skis. If you're driving instead, leave some extra time as the roads follow the lake making for a scenic ride. Bear in mind, the locals are not in a hurry. Boone, NC is 39 minutes away; Johnson City, TN is just 38 minutes, and both are abundant with activities. Elizabethton is just a short 23 minute drive for quick dining, shopping, ice cream etc. In addition to all of the lake activities, guests can also enjoy the Appalachian Trail, Roan Mountain State Park, Sugar Hollow Retreat, a winery, and lots of snow skiing, tubing, and snowboarding options nearby. We provide guests with many local recommendations for activities, food and drink. Canyon Dream is located off a well maintained 2-lane state highway. The property is just off the paved road and offers a very large parking area with ample room to turn around or park a boat trailer. There is plenty of lighting for the parking area if arriving at the property after dark.
