Lovely location!

amazing property, will be back!

This is a great location and wonderful dock set up on the lake. Home owner was very quick to respond and very accommodating. That being said there were a few issues ..... The equipment (kayaks and paddle boards) are old and in need of replacement. It is an older house that is very comfortable but could benefit from some extra attention and replacement of old shelving and kitchen gear . The pool room area cooking griddle really needs to be cleaned to eliminate the odor from past people cooking on it and not cleaning it. These are easy fixes and the attentive home owner will surely remedy these issues as they seem very willing to keep guests happy.

The house was very clean, linens provided, and the kitchen has everything you need. There was plenty of space, we had 5 adults and 1 small dog. We put our boat in at Little Milligan, it was a short distance to the house. The house has a nice dock. The steps down to the dock are a little challenging, but my 83 year old parents made the trip several times a day. This was our 2nd stay in this home and we look forward to next year.

Joey's property had everything that we needed, and we were sad to leave. We're already planning our next trip back! The Hot Tub, Pool Table, and 2-story Dock were the best amenities, but the home itself was also a star and had everything we needed.

Had a wonderful time! Great large dock perfect for days playing in the water.

We had a great ladies weekend here. We were looking for somewhere in between D.C. and Atlanta, and are so glad we found this beautiful area and wonderful home. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We spent most of our time sitting in the hot tub or on the dock taking in the views. We can’t wait to come back in the summer to take advantage of the beautiful lake.

Great location in a peaceful neighborhood. The house was very clean and well-stocked with towels, linens, and other basics. We had plenty of room for 5 adults and 1 small dog, and the internet service was great. The covered outdoor area with a kitchen was a plus. There are about 59 steps going down to the dock, but my elderly parents in their early 80's navigated just fine. The area is peaceful for early morning dog walks or just sitting/fishing on the dock. We put our boat in at Little Milligan Boat Ramp which is a relatively short distance from the rental home. The dock at the rental home has an easy-access boat slip. The home has several outside decks where you can sit and relax, even while it's raining. Or you can relax in the hot tub! We only needed limited interaction with the host prior to our visit and he responded immediately with answers to our questions. We will definitely look at this house again for next year's visit to Watauga Lake!
