Beautiful LAKEFRONT, 2 acres + 800ft long x 30ft wide PENINSULA property on Watauga Lake. One side of the peninsula is a small LAGOON-style cove, the other side is open water with breathtaking views. Sugar Hollow Point is one of the best and most unique properties on the lake. You can't get much closer to the water than this!

-Enjoy an evening grilling out, sitting at the bonfire with s'mores and looking at the extensive views of water on both sides of the peninsula or relax with your favorite cocktail sunbathing on the Lilly pad; this property is paradise. There is also your own private island to explore beyond the fire pit.
You can watch your kids swim in the lagoon from the wrap around patio.
Some of the best fishing spots are close by-- boat to the nearby Elk River or fish on your own secluded peninsula and island (the local fisherman call the tip of the island "THE BEST FISHING SPOT on the lake). Skiiers and wakeboarders will love THE SMOOTHEST water on Watauga Lake right around the corner of the peninsula.
You can also enjoy a peaceful kayak ride on our two KAYAKS or you can use our BOAT LAUNCH RAMP to launch your own.

NEVER BEEN TO WATAUGA LAKE?
Watauga Lake is an extremely beautiful and clean recreational lake (3rd cleanest in the country) located in the Cherokee National forest with 105 miles of shoreline. More than half of the lake is mountainous national forest and cannot be developed, so its really naturally beautiful and not crazy overpopulated with boats. This hidden gem is known to be one of the most beautiful lakes on the east coast. Watauga lake is great for boating, jet-skiing, tubing, skiing/wakeboarding, fishing, swimming, kayaking etc.
Downstream of the dam is a very popular whitewater rafting area as most of the local companies in TN and NC bring their patrons here. Hiking is also very popular as the Appalachain trail and a couple of small waterfalls are nearby. This property is also close to attractions in Boone, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock, NC and also attractions in eastern TN.
We have great sunny summers with no mosquitoes and beautiful fall colors when the leaves change. In the winter time, skiing is a popular option at nearby Sugar and Beech Mountain. This is a spectacular mountain and lake getaway.

Great Location
Great property with wonderful water views and access. Tons of fish around the dock and boat access area. We also enjoyed not having a lot of other houses around, so the cove was very peaceful. Would definitely visit here again. Take saltine crackers to feed the blue gill at the dock, they will eat for hours.

Most relaxing trip!
The location of this property was exactly what we were looking for! Private, short distance to the water from the house, great views. The house was well equipped and the double refrigerator was key since there are not many restaurants close by. The lake is so beautiful, we rented a boat for the week and explored everyday and there were no crowds. We were totally comfortable while the kids were tubing and not concerned of other boaters. Just a fantastic time overall!

Quick trip to isolate
The home was well equipped with needed items. The wifi worked well, which was nice because we had no cell phone service. We were looking for remote and found it for sure. We did not have much success catching fish, but the lake was beautiful.

Smokey Mountain retreat
Very private location. No immediate neighbors. Only the birds for noise (saw my 1st Green Heron). N & W water views of small cove and Elk River. Comfortable, well-furnished home. Spent many mornings on porch rocking chairs watching the morning mist burn off the hills and lake water. Good unpaved neighborhood roads for taking daily walks. Stayed 1 month (Sept) and enjoyed all of it.

Great location surrounded by water!
Our group of couples/friends take an annual trip to Watauga, and we had another great trip this summer! The property was in a wonderful location with water on both sides of the peninsula, as well as convenience to 321 and the neighborhood boat ramp. The kitchen was well equipped for a few days of cooking. Frig was large which made it perfect for a group that plans to bring a ton of groceries. Ice maker was pretty slow so I would suggest that guests bring extra bags of ice along. Furniture on the porch and at the fire were perfect, the dock was a nice amenity with our fishing boat along and the kayaks provided were a nice feature! Thank you for a great stay!

Family of 4 and 2 dogs...
We spent 5 wonderful and relaxing days here. The home is so comfortable and has everything you need. We have family in the area and they all opted to come visit us everyday on the lake. No cell service but there is a home phone and limited wifi. The only thing we missed having was a fenced in area for our pups. Area dogs wandered up to the house a lot so we weren't comfortable letting ours roam around unleashed. But the closed deck helped. Hope to make it back next year!!

Rustic elegance on the water- HIGHLY recommended
Watauga Lake is one of the cleanest and most pristine lakes in the entire Southeastern US. Set in the Cherokee National Forest, the lake atmosphere is outstanding if you're looking for a place to relax, rewind, and recover from whatever you drive or whatever drives you. Memorial Day 2017 was our second visit to this cabin. Our most recent experience confirms the validity of our decision to try to make a visit to this location an annual event. But on to the property itself..... This property is elegant, spacious, well designed and appointed. The bedding, bath, laundry, and kitchen furnishings provided by Julie and Jenelle cover just about anything and everything you'll need. The location is quiet and secluded. Water access to both a main lake channel and a quiet cove is only a few steps away. The private dock is in the cove, so your personal watercraft are not subjected to the traffic, beating, and constant wave action of a busy channel. 2 kayaks are included to enhance your lake experience. The well-designed and maintained boat ramp makes it easy to launch and recover your own watercraft. Techies are well-served. There are large flat-screen TVs and DVD players throughout the house. Wifi Internet access is limited but sufficient for casual web browsing and e-mail retrieval.

Perfectly peaceful getaway!
The property is a unique retreat right on the lake with a private boat dock available for our rental. It was perfect for our needs. We had a glorious time, even making smores over an outdoor fire. The property owner/manager went above and beyond to communicate with us. We did not lack for any information and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. I would certainly recommend this quiet property to enjoy the beautiful Watauga Lake and area.

Family Memories
The property is beautiful but some very steep hills. I wish there was a bit more level land. It appeared to be like a beach with sand in pictures but really couldn't enjoy it like that because of being steep and slick like clay. My husband had recently had knee surgery so we were very cautious with him. We loved having access to kayaks and water mat. The house was very nice. Seating areas are nice as well. It would have been wonderful to have a view of the lake to the left off from the back side of the awesome covered deck. It was not used at all because there wasn't much of a view from there anymore. Possible cut some trees back for a bit of a view. Overall we had a wonderful time and enjoyed making family memories. Thank you very much.

Beautiful Location!
The property was perfect for all ages in our family (13-80). The porch, the yard and the dock are all relaxing spots for sitting and watching the lake. The cove is peaceful and safe to play/swim in the water with minimal boat traffic. After using the kayaks for a couple of days, we rented a boat for a day from Fish Springs Marina which was close by on land and water. The house was well appointed. As mentioned in the description, the Wi-Fi/internet is patchy but the adults did not mind! We will be back!

Picturesque Peninsula Location
Best lake access lot of any home we’ve ever stayed in on Watauga Lake. The dock and kayaks, along with the provided vests, made exploring the lake incredibly easy. Home is a beautiful combination of rustic mountain cabin with modern upgrades. Lot has great privacy and views and the fire pit affords views of the lake on both sides of the peninsula. The whole family and our dogs had an awesome time. It was a great get away!

Very peaceful and quiet area on Watauga Lake. Very comfortable home with plenty of space for people and great that it is pet friendly. Watauga Lake is beautiful and highly recommend renting a pontoon for a day - quite affordable. Lots of outdoor space on deck and easy swimming & kayaking. Note that location of home is remote - 30 minutes to closest restaurant and closest grocery store in Elizabethton so plan accordingly.

Best getaway EVER!
This property is absolutely magical! We stayed for an extended weekend leading in to, and through the New Year and it was so peaceful and relaxing. The home itself was clean and inviting.. We traveled with our 2 dogs and they enjoyed exploring the property. The fire pit was used for evening smores as the sun set behind the mountainside. The history of Watuga lake was not lost on us... (Google and you'll be just as engraved as we were). The local hiking in the area is absolutely breathtaking! We had a new place to hike almost every single day... Waterfalls galore! We look forward to coming back during the summer months and enjoying some of the amenities that the lake has to offer.. Don't hesitate this place is a hidden gem!
