Fantastic "Black Bear Cabin" In Lynn Valley

The possibilities are endless in this fully furnished rustic and unique log cabin. You'll never find another cabin with unique features like this one has in East Tennessee. The cabin is less than 5 miles from everything but also has a country charm and feel. Its located in the beautiful Lynn Valley area of Elizabethton TN, a highly sought after area that the Watauga River flows through. Enjoy your morning coffee on the front porch looking out at the peaceful pond right out front. The two pond fountains sound amazing and add tranquility. This one bedroom one bath cabin has been meticulously maintained and is always meticulously cleaned and rental ready. 5 Blocks from the Watauga River, some of the best trout fishing in the entire country is feet away. Wireless internet, Samsung 75" Ultra 4k UHDTV with surround sound, 42" HDTV in master bedroom, excellent cell service (AT&T), outdoor fire pit/ grill combo and a Charbroil electric grill. The futon in the den will sleep two more (double bed), master bedroom sleeps two (King). Dish Network satellite HDTV service with more than 200 channels to chose from.

Update: 8/3/2023 The cabin was just re-stained, as well as the wood around the pond, 15 green giants were added, 30 led landscape lights, and landscaping timbers, as well as the fire pit.

We updated the entire cabin in 2022 with all new leather furniture in the den. We used a local interior designer to give the cabin a complete makeover. The leather couch has two recliners, plus there is a single leather recliner. All of the ceiling fans and outdoor light fixtures are brand new. The bedroom was updated with new flooring, paint, new king size bedroom suit and decor. We added a 24,000 BTU HVAC mini split system for heat and air, which is very quiet and comfortable. The mantle is an amazing piece of artwork that looks like museum. We also installed a 5 x 10 dog kennel behind the cabin with a dog house. We added landscape lighting around the cabin as well as solar lighting around the pond. It is amazing at night! The cabin features unique trophy heads including a Moose, Red Stag, Deer, Antelope, Turkey and Fish. The trophies were shot by William Crawford who built the cabin in 2005.

Its an incredible location at the base of a mountain, and it faces another mountain. There are no cabins next to you or behind you, and a huge field for dogs to play in. The cabin has a brand new metal roof and was just re-stained. The pond gets water from a newly installed solar pump and the pond fountain is also powered by solar energy. The pond was completely rebuilt in the fall of 2021 and spring of 2022, with a brand new liner and new wood all the way around, stained to match the cabin. The old fences seen in some photos have been removed and soon green giant trees will be planted along the roadway. Please don't throw trash or any debris into the pond. The best fishing is 1000 feet away on the Watauga River. You can park at Riverside Baptist church and fish the river anytime except during church hours.

Wonderful stay
This cabin exceeded all of our expectations. It was beautifully decorated and extremely clean. The host was very nice from turning the fountain on after normal hours so we could enjoy it longer to giving us ideas of places to visit. It was a wonderful vacation. The views of the mountains were incredible. We also got to feed the horses that are right behind the property. I would definetly stay here again on my next visit.

We got to experience the cabin in the rain and it was so soothing. Everything was beautiful especially the pond. There was so much detail in that cabin that just made it perfect. The owner also was very helpful answering any questions I had. I definitely will be booking it again ❤️

Great Cabin
We chose Elizabethton for its location, close to where we would be fishing the Watauga. This cabin was close to town and our guide for fishing. The cabin was tucked away, providing a nice spot to relax. The cabin is very clean and stocked with everything needed. The pond and trout in it were fun to watch as we relaxed on the porch. We loved this rental! Highly recommend!

This is a very beautiful cabin with plenty of space inside. It would be perfect for a group, but also cozy enough if you just want a little getaway for 2. There's lot's of places to eat and grocery stores close by if you need anything. The owner was also very accommodating.

Wonderful cabin in a beautiful setting. We had a quick trip to Johnson City and stayed just one night but will definitely stay here again if our travels take us back to the area. The living room is so inviting and cozy, and the bed was very comfortable.

Amazing spot to stay if you are in town to fish!
We loved this cabin. My husband and I were in town to fish for a few days. We floated the Watagua and it was so convenient, I was able to hop off the boat, walk a few minutes to the cabin and let our dogs out for a potty break before hopping back on the boat to finish out our float! Close to grocery stores and food too.

Ideal Getaway
This place was great. It's an awesome place to get away. Definitely a peaceful break from the ordinary. Our dog enjoyed it, as well -- he was obsessed with watching the horses in the field next to the cabin. The host is extremely knowledgeable about the area and answers questions to steer you in the right direction with things like fishing spots and guides. Thanks so much for sharing this corner of the world.
