Luxury Lake Chalet Hot Tub Private Boat Slip Amazing Mountain View’s Sleeps 10

Wake up to breathtaking panoramic views of the Appalachian Mountains and from nearly every room in Whispering Pines. Perched high above the lake in the Cherokee National Forest, our mountain chalet offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and adventure. Just a short walk downhill is our private neighborhood marina on pristine Watauga Lake, where guests enjoy exclusive use of Boat Slip #6 along with two complimentary kayaks for exploring one of the cleanest and most beautiful lakes in the Southeast.
Designed for families and friends traveling together, Whispering Pines comfortably sleeps 8–10 guests and offers plenty of space to gather while still allowing everyone to spread out.
Sleeping Accommodations First Level
● Spacious primary suite with a king bed and full bath
● Cozy great room with a gas fireplace
Second Level
● Private bedroom with a queen bed and full bath
● Additional living area with a second gas fireplace
Third Level
● Bedroom with two twin beds

● Separate kids’ hideaway with an extra twin bed
A Truly Special Destination
Guests often tell us they have never seen a lake quite like Watauga. One memorable guest described it as “the Lake Geneva of Northeast Tennessee”—and we couldn’t agree more.
At nearly 4,500 feet in elevation, Whispering Pines sits above the crystal-clear waters of Watauga Lake, surrounded by the protected beauty of the Cherokee National Forest. Because so much of the shoreline is federally protected, you’ll enjoy spectacular mountain scenery without endless rows of lake houses and boat traffic. The result is an incredibly peaceful setting that’s becoming harder and harder to find.
The lake warms surprisingly early in the season, making swimming enjoyable from April through late October. Spend your days kayaking, boating, fishing, hiking, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing on the deck while taking in unforgettable sunsets.
Just a short walk from the cabin, the private marina and lakeside gazebo provide easy access to the water. If you’d like to explore the lake by boat, Fish Springs Marina can often deliver a rental boat directly to an available slip, or you’re welcome to bring your own.
Perfect in Every Season
Whispering Pines is just as magical during the winter months. Located within easy driving distance of Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain, and Appalachian Ski Mountain, it’s an ideal home base for skiing, snowboarding, tubing, and cozy evenings by the fire.
Completed in 2009, the chalet was thoughtfully designed with distinctive architectural details, including natural driftwood accents and beautiful indoor and outdoor waterfalls that create a truly memorable mountain lodge experience.
Whether you’re looking for an active family vacation or a peaceful mountain escape, Whispering Pines offers the perfect place to reconnect, recharge, and create lasting memories.
We invite you to experience one of Watauga Lake’s most beautiful mountain retreats.

We have already laid the groundwork to stay here again next year when we come to town. And my host. I cannot say enough of how quickly he was able to help me with one issue that I was needing help on. And took all the time I needed to assist me. 100% First class place and host. We enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you Mr. Tom.

Nice get away

Were very impressed with the communication from the listers. House was very clean. Beds could use a little upgrading but we didnt want to complain because we were just so incredibly blessed to be away. Quiet and very close to the marina. The slip wasnt quite big enough for our boat so we used the marina right before the neighborhood and they were amazing there. Beautiful place, beautiful stay, and lot's of memories.

This was a great getaway for all three of our families! The house was perfect and there was a lot of attention to detail. It is a great place for younger and older children alike.

Excellent Trip to a Quiet Part of Tennessee

We really enjoyed our stay at Whispering Pines, this property is set in a very quiet and secluded neighborhood near Lake Watauga. Its very cozy inside with multiple fireplaces and enough rooms to spread out when visiting with large groups. The hot tub is located in a perfect spot to provide some privacy. We spent a warm afternoon outside grilling and making s'mores in the fire pit. The house is located about half an hour from a proper grocery store in Elizabethton so stock up while your out. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Tennessee.
