Every Fisherman's Dream! Located on the beautiful Watauga River!

Fisherman's Dream is ideal for any fisherman, family or corporate getaway. We offer a beautiful lot with wade out fishing, mountainous views and the tranquility we all need these days. Property includes all linens, fully equipped kitchen, washer & drier, gas grill, TV & WiFi, and both a gas and wood burning fire pit. All you have to pack is your fishing pole and personal items. We will provide the rest!

Fisherman's Dream has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The master bedroom has a queen sized bed that will sleep 2. The other two bedrooms each have 2 full sized beds that could easily allow this property to sleep 10!

Located just 5 minutes to the quaint city of Elizabethton, you can find great local eateries such as the famous Ridgewood BBQ. If you don't want make the trip to town or fry your catch of the day, delivery is available. The grocery store and package stores are 5 minutes away, yet you still have the tranquil setting of a mountain retreat! It is truly the best of both worlds.

Bristol Motor Speedway is only 15 minutes away!! It 's a perfect way to spend race weekend; fish in the day and race at night!!! Roan Mountain State Park, Watauga Lake, and the Jonesborough Storytelling Festival are also very convenient to this property.

The Watauga River offers the some of the best trout fishing in the entire USA! With approximately 2000 fish per acre (yes, you read that correctly). Trout species in the Watauga River are Rainbow, Brook and Brown. There are also various non-game species. This property is almost halfway down the river. It is perfect for taking a lunch break, refilling the cooler, or just stretching your legs before you continue down stream.

Did I mention that right outside the back door of this property is what I call "The Church Hole?" Fisherman almost always stop to fish this location and usually catch something. You can also sit on the bank and just cast a few if you aren't up for wading in the river.

Fisherman's Dream has something to offer everyone. We hope to see you soon.

Wonderful home on the river.
The river is literally a stones throw from the porch. The guys and kids enjoyed fishing.They caught a few trout which we released but we also saw others catching fish most days. The fire pit was a hit with the kids too. Smores every night! I enjoyed watching the wildlife from the porch rockers especially the geese every morning. The house was clean and well stocked. This is our 4th stay because it's a perfect vacation on the river.

Excellent stay
Property was very clean and cozy. Had family over and fished off the riverbank. The backyard is exactly as pictured and there is a raised up plateau with chairs that is right on the river and you can fish from right on the river. There is a river access also if you want to go into the river. Loved my stay and the hosts went above and beyond for me when I needed them due to my error

Beautiful home
This is our second time staying at this beautiful home and we absolutely love it. Their is plenty of room for the family The view of the river and sitting arrangements at the river are the best. The host was super nice and answered any questions promptly. She also let us know when it was ready for our stay, so we actually got to check in earlier than expected, so that was nice. If I could give this home 10 stars I would. We will be back to stay again in the future and recommend this place to family and friends.

Perfect Family Getaway
Our family enjoyed staying at Every Fisherman's Dream even though we aren't fisher-people. We relaxed, played football, did art work and my 15 yo tried fly fishing. He didn't catch anything, but had an amazing time trying. This was the perfect spot for us to enjoy some "us" time. It was also a great distance to everything we needed, including Emmanuel Seminary and Milligan College. Highly recommend this as a place to stay if visiting a student or coming for an event at the College.

Watauga Fishing Trip
Wonderful place to stay. The location is perfect for the waters that we wanted to fish. The place was clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a good meal. Close to stores but, has the feel of being secluded. We really enjoy sitting on the porch or right by the flowing Watauga. We have already book again for next year!

Great area cute neighborhood and truly a place to go if you like to fish
Communication-was awesome with the owners. I had a few questions and they were quick to respond each time. Cleanliness-Cabin was very clean and all we needed was available. Location-You are located next to the town where you have many restaurants, gas stations and grocery stores to shop. The neighborhood is very cute and in the backyard you feel like you are with nature. We saw so many cool birds and the frog, geese, birds and cicada singing to us every night were so relaxing. Both my husband and I on different occasions witnessed a osprey swoop down and grab a trout out of the river. It was so amazing but I was not expecting it so I couldn’t get to my phone quick enough that was a bummer. Watch for deer we had four bucks cross the road also unexpected because you are in a little neighborhood but was so cool to see all the nature around us. Fishing-Make sure you watch for the power generation schedule so you know when the river is going to rise you can find that on the TVA website. When the water is lower it is easier to walk out and fish and will not need waders unless you want to go deeper. We used rubber boots on the hotter days. We caught lots of trout all different sizes. There are other places to check out to fish very close too. We went to Doe river in a couple places and the Wilber dam on the watauga river. The dam has many places to stop and fish and it is connected to watauga lake. On the way to the lake there is a place to fish above the dam. Love this place♥️
