The property and the host were amazing. So many hiking opportunities close to the property that's why we went.
Will definitely be back and highly recommend to other renters
The property is close by several good hiking trails and the lake. Nearby towns have all you can need and there are 2 wineries about 30 minutes away that we very much enjoyed. Overall a super place at this price point.
Home. was very nice and comfortable beds were perfect Overall everything was great. loved the couch We went hiking everyday The beauty of the mountains was awesome Great location
The cabin was great. Had everything you would need.
Loved the fire pit. Everything was close, caves, boating, swimming, and hiking. Would definitely go back again.
Everything was wonderful… perfect mix of a secluded mountain top cabin and beach bungalow. Rustic with all the creature comforts. Felt like returning home for the holidays.

Nice quiet cabin. Cutely decorated. Enjoyed having my own bedroom!!
Place was clean, easy to find, plenty of room 2-4 people Property is beautiful. Great for a fishing stay if you have a boat to enjoy the Lake. Car noise during the day and early morning is very loud.
The commode was way to low for the older people in our day of life it really needs to be a higher seating toilet so you don’t have to fight to get off the seat of the toilet!! But everything thing else was awesome!! Thank you for the great place to stay !!!
It is on a highway but the property is surrounded by trees and greenery that really make it feel so secluded. It allows you to be in the mountains without all the traffic and crowds of a touristy place. There are plenty of nature outings within the general area and we always found new things to do. The house was clean and comfortable and we really enjoyed our stay there!
Cozy country cabin on road to Watauga Lake.
Host is friendly and accommodating. Close to lake and hiking. Near Appalachian trail and Roan Mountain is right down the road. Beautiful countryside! Home is quintessential country cabin - homey and artfully decorated.
