Magnolia Cabin

Magnolia Cabin is located at the headwaters of the trophy trout section on the beautiful Watauga River. Magnolia is a small 500 square feet private cabin equipped with modern appliances & granite counter tops. Relax on our back deck! A guest favorite…our back deck is the place to enjoy the great outdoors while watching the river go by. You might even see someone catching a fish! Featuring a sitting area and fire pit, this relaxed setting is the perfect place to unwind. This section of the Watauga River is a fisherman's paradise! You can walk off the large covered back porch down to a wadable river to fish, kayak, or watch wildlife. Located on a country road, you would think you are a long way from civilization, but travel four miles down the road and you can pick up anything you need. The cabin is fully equipped with linens and all household items. All you need to bring is personal items and food. We hope you will enjoy it as much we do! We look forward to meeting you!

Another GREAT Trip

We have stayed here multiple times and will be back. Awesome location on the river, beautiful views, lots of room for activities, and perfect for adults and children.This trip we actually rented 3 of the cabins for family. First stay in the Magnolia Cabin and it was perfect for my wife and me. Family stayed in the Hemlock and the Sycamore Cabins. 12 of us in total. Perfect location for a family reunion.

Baby Owl

I rented this for my elderly uncle to stay in for our wedding weekend. He loved everything about it and felt very comfortable. He said one of the mornings he was sitting on the porch drinking his coffee, when a baby owl landed near him and stayed there for a long while!

Fly Fishing Getaway

I come up to fish the Watauga and South Holston rivers every year. This place is perfect for that. I have stayed at this property many times, usually the Laurel cabin. This time it was the Magnolia cabin and it was just right!

great place for a family reunion

We rented 3 of the cabins for our family - ages 8-adult. The weather was nice for all but 1 day, so we used the yard, picnic tables, grill for eating our meals and playing outdoor games (horseshoes, etc). The water was too cold for swimming but we had great bonfires at night by the firepit and walks around the area. Plenty of parking for all our cars. Since we were all related, no problem with privacy sharing the yard. The cabins were supplied with all we needed and heaters kept us warm at night.

Just what we needed

This was SO perfect. Just what we needed. Peaceful setting by the Watauga. Close enough to town to get eat/shop/etc., but super quiet cabin. I imagine if the guests in the big cabin were loud or rowdy it might be less so but that absolutely wasn't the case this past weekend. We are saving this listing for sure!

Peaceful little cabin

The Magnolia cabin was the perfect size and location for us to stay while visiting with friends in the area. It had everything that was needed for a restful stay. The only issue we had was there seemed to be dog hair everywhere, but we also knew dogs were allowed on property. We found clean pillowcases to swap out the others, wiped off surfaces, and cleaned the pans and all was good. We would definitely stay again and have recommended to friends!

Getaway

We came to Johnson City visit our son and watch some baseball at Milligan U. We had no idea what a gem we had booked. This cabin was perfect! It was clean, the bed was comfy, it has everything you would need in the kitchen and the covered porch was the best for willing coffee and watching the ducks float down the river. We hope to visit this property again.soon.

Another great visit to the Magnolia Cabin

A great little cabin for the two of us. It was a short visit and no fishing becasue the river was still muddy but we love sitting on the deck and watching the water and birds. We'll be back in the spring.

Sweet Little Jewel

This place was absolutely cozy. We had everything we needed. I could tell that things were very thought out. The best place I’ve ever stayed at. The water was so relaxing . There was plenty of room for our 4 adult children to come visit and eat dinner with us. We can’t wait to come back. We’ve told our friends about the property and now they want to rent a cabin here too!

Nice little cabin in a beautiful location, with a perfect water view. Nice shower, comfortable bed. Porch had railings and gates so we could let our dogs sit out there and look for squirrels. Our Mayze would have liked to see more. We stayed during hurricane Helene, power as out for most of our stay. It was a challenge but we managed. We were happy to have a safe place to stay. The owner did email to check on us. We would stay there again, just not during hurricane season. f
