Great Cabin
This cottage/cabin is awesome. Knotty pine is special. Everything needed is there and it simply feels great. We stayed nine days and each day your eyes go up to the ceiling as you “take in” the interior. I could walk up the knotty pine stairs a hundred times and enjoy looking at it. Great view of the lake. We liked everything.

Beautiful, relaxing and clean home
Perfect size for us. My husband and adult son were there visiting family in the area. House was very well stocked and clean. Private dock is a good size. Fishing could have been better, wish we had had a boat. We saw fish jumping in deeper water. Lots of steps up to the house so you will get your exercise! Owner provided us with firewood for the fire pit (Thank you!!). House / beds very comfortable. I would stay again.

Wonderful stay!
Came with my childhood friends to celebrate our 40th birthdays. It was the perfect little getaway, but was only about 45 min away from home for most of us. We enjoyed this clean cozy cabin, sipping coffee on the porch, soaking up the sun on the dock with our cold drinks and snacks, and s’mores by the fire. Bit of a hike back up from the dock, but it was good for us!

Great experience! The location is remote but the house is modern and has nice amenities. We had one minor issue with the door lock and the property manager was there within 15 minutes. The lake is beautiful as advertised! If you’re looking to get away and find some peace and quiet in a beautiful rural setting, this place will deliver.

Great Stay at Watauga Lake
The house was amazing, super clean and cozy. The boat dock was perfect and we really enjoyed our entire stay. Steve was very communicative when we had questions. We wanted to stay longer, so we’ll be sure to book more nights next time. Thanks, Steve, for a great stay!

Perfect, Relaxing Getaway!
We brought our teenagers to enjoy a few days at the Lake…they left saying they had the best time ever!!! They loved the fire pit, dock and hanging out on the porch. My husband and I loved the cleanliness, well stocked kitchen and gorgeous view! It was so private, well maintained and beautiful! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! Driveway was great to park a truck and boat trailer and extra cars! It was so well with stocked towels/supplies…and I loved the fact that it had a laundry room!!! Teens are hard to please….and mine were more than pleased with their experience!!! We’d definitely stay here again!

Ultimate Relaxation
From the moment that we drove up til the minute we departed was nothing but the relaxation time we needed. This property was immaculate. We wanted for nothing! Started every morning with a cup of coffee on the porch swing overlooking beautiful Lake Watagua and ended every evening (weather permitting) cooking dinner on the campfire or gas grill. The kitchen was well appointed. The bed was extremely comfortable. The bathrooms were also well appointed. Like I said … we wanted for nothing and got much more than we expected! Our host was more than accommodating … very welcoming with goodies and a card and at the same time allowed us complete privacy during our complete stay. We hope to be back in the near future!!! Highly recommend this lovely property!!

Super-Clean Lakeside Getaway
Property was clean, in perfect order, and peaceful. Neighbors were quiet and at far enough distance to not be an issue for us. Enough can't be said for how clean everything was, we felt completely at home. We had to contact our host over a minor question (if garbage service ran on Thanksgiving Day) and he was prompt in responding. Would rent this home again.
