Beautiful Waterfront Home on Watauga River

Brand new to VRBO June 1st 2023. Gorgeous and completely remodeled waterfront home on the beautiful Watauga River. The house was completely remodeled in 2023 with all new windows, life proof flooring, granite countertops, appliances, new black metal roof, new interior and exterior paint, new composite front door, new lights and fans, landscaping, etc. This is a $500K immaculate home right on the river. You might stay somewhere cheaper but you will not stay anywhere nicer in this area. Please look at our cabin VRBO #2196043 if you need something smaller yet just as beautiful, its really made for 2 people but will sleep 4 if needed.

The house includes a brand new 12' x 12' Trex river dock with stainless steel cables for railing, so as not to diminish the river views. There is also a brand new private boat ramp for those coming in to fish or kayak. Excellent place for a large group or a small group and all the comforts of home. The river deck and mountain deck will be furnished with furniture (not pictured yet), and a grill on the mountain deck. You can fish nearly 300 feet of the river along the property bank. In the summer months you will see lots of rafters, kayaks, and drift boats going by. The house is located on the main road to Wilbur Dam, and is 3 miles downstream from the dam, and not in a floodplain. The back yard has a large chainlink fence for your pets containment and safety, with direct access from the french doors off of the mountain deck.

From the front of the house all you see is the beautiful river flowing by, from the sides of the house and back all you see is the beautiful Holston Mountain Range. The house has brand new appliances, furniture, mattresses, etc. Incredible entertainment package with Direct TV and a 75" Ultra 4K Samsung in the den and a 65" Samsung Ultra 4k in the primary bedroom. Bose wave radio. Front load washer and dryer for long stays. The front porch will have rocking chairs. More pictures to come. Book now for your next getaway in a spectacular setting. Mountains and river in all directions, yet only 10 minutes to town.

I wish I could stay longer!
We had a wonderful time! It was perfect for us. The view was beautiful and the house was updated. There is a fence in the backyard even. We have tall men in our family and the living room seating was very comfortable with leather couches that reclined. We spent Christmas there and would do it again. The host was reachable and very nice. I am so pleased.

Perfectly Cozy
This property proved to be the perfect place for a small family gathering. The bedrooms are roomy and the kitchen / dining room and living room spaces were perfect for us. It was clean and inviting and had all of the amenities that we needed for our stay. The home was all decked out with Christmas decor which really added to our wonderful experience. Check in was effortless and communication with Mike was easy, as he provided us with clear instructions from our online reservation through check out. Didn't get to check out the riverside deck due to cold weather, but will definitely consider this property again if we need a place to stay in the future!

Great Place
Spent a few days at this great place while in the great state of Tennessee attending a celebration of life for my father at his house in Blountville. The house was nice had everything we needed, loved having the river right there to fish. We enjoyed our stay and will be back since the fishing was very good and there's lots that we wanted to explore unfortunately didn't have the time to do so this trip.

Relaxing fishing vacation
My wife and I came up the Watauga to relax and for me to trout fish. The house was extremely comfortable and well furnished. The mornings on the front porch looking at the river and drinking coffee were only rivaled by peaceful afternoons on the back porch looking at the mountains. The king size master bed was comfortable and we slept well. The river was loaded with hard fighting trout. We had a great time

60th birthday in the mountains
We had a wonderful time celebrating my 60th in this beautiful area. Loved the location and easy to get to Wautaga lake, wineries, Johnson city and quaint Elizabethton. The house was clean, great comfortable mattresses and no problem locating anything in the fully stocked kitchen. It was perfect. We loved the dock across the street and a great place to enjoy a bottle of wine and watch the wildlife on the river.

Great home!
This is a beautiful home in a beautiful location. It was very clean on check-in, the check-in/check-out were super quick and easy, everything was as expected, the owner is very responsive and friendly (even going as far as sharing some fishing advice), and the location is perfect! We had a great, albeit short, stay in which we did a ton of fishing at the property and several places nearby, spent some time in town, and explored some beautiful scenery. Overall great property and owner!

Mountain View getaway
The house was very nice and comfortable for 4 guests and a small dog. The views of the mountains were magnificent as well as watching people paddling down the river across the street from the house. Our host was very welcoming and gracious. We would definitely stay again and try some fishing!

Graduation Trip
The house is beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay. Home is close (20 to 25 min drive) to ETSU and given we were there for a graduation it was really convenient. We were extremely busy so did not get to do a lot in the area but there appeared to be a lot to do.

The house is very pretty and comfortable, Loved the fenced yard for the dogs and location was perfect for us as we could navigate the area easily, The view from to the river is so pretty, got to see a Heron, a deer getting to the bank up to his Belly to eat Algae!

Perfection on the river!
Clean and comfortable in a great location! We came for the week to visit the grandkids who spent a few days and nights (ages 3 & 4). With the gated back deck and fenced in yard, the property was perfect for our two dogs. We had a great time floating in the river out front on those 100 degree days - the water was cold, but so refreshing!!! Groceries, restaurants and shopping were right around the corner (15 mins). I rated the property and stay a solid 5 and look forward to staying again on a future trip down, it was perfect!
