Beautiful cabin. But it is very remote. Nothing within miles. I had no cell service, which being from SC we had no idea where to go up there. I discovered that there was no WIFI. When I reached out to Brenda, said they could get it fixed next week. Brenda also reminded me it is an amenity, not guaranteed. There is no landline. I would hate to have am emergency, no way to call for help at that cabin when WiFi is down. I disagreed on WIFI as an amenity, Brenda called VRBO and had us thrown out. Gave us our money back. But, we had no place to go. She said not her problem. For a premier host, her skills at dealing with folks is questionable. We had an hour to get out. Beware. Don’t ask about local channels, that was unthinkable. It was just a question, thought we were missing something on the remote. We were very unhappy.

The cabin was very cute, hot tub was great. One of the main reasons we booked was for the fire pit however it was completely out of propane so we couldn’t use it. There was also only 1 cushion for the two chaise lounge chairs. There is also a bee and wasp problem on the back deck which is unfortunate for someone who is allergic like myself. Overall a nice secluded property.

Well thought out small cabin nestled in the woods with 2 deck areas and a dock. Clean and plenty of amenities! Hope to stay again!

This was a truly relaxing and lovely getaway. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful and it is quiet and peaceful at the house. The lower deck with the lounge chairs was a perfect morning and evening spot to relax and enjoy the lake. The hot tub was clean, as was everything else in the house. The host was easy to get ahold of and communicated clearly. A great place to stay! One thing to think about - the space, especially in the bedroom, is small. The pictures reflect this quite well, just make sure you're good with that and you will have a wonderful time!

Super cute and cozy cabin. We loved the location and privacy. There was a little bit of an ant problem so we kept all food in the fridge. We would come back to visit.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Wonderful location and private. Was able to park out boat/trailer and felt very safe to leave it as we ventured out. The host was very accommodating and returned our call/messages quickly. I would mention the phone service is poor and the road leading down to the house was rough.

It was so peaceful and homey. I didn’t want to leave. Seeing the moon reflecting on the lake was beautiful. The cabin was clean and cozy. Would definitely recommend staying at this cabin. Plus there is fish in the lake. Not all lakes actually have fish.

My wife and I celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in this comfy little cabin on Watauga lake. The hot tub was fully functional and clean as described. The bed was super comfortable. Cabin had everything we needed and nothing we didn’t. The area was very peaceful. A couple very nice wineries are minutes away. Would come back to this place again!

We had a wonderful stay. The host is one of the good ones...you'll find all the little extras - soaps, lotion, shampoo, cleaning products, basic spices, a first aid kit, and laundry detergent - all the things that come in handy for travelers! The linens all looked brand new and the mattress was very comfortable. We enjoyed using the kayaks and were happy to find life vests available. The a/c was perfect and the wifi signal strong. It was a perfect weekend for my husband, pup, and I.

This was just what my husband and I needed. It was a perfect place to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. If you're looking for somewhere to enjoy the water, boat, kayak, or swim and relax in the evening this is the perfect place.
One thing I suggest if you don't want to go back out, stop on your way in to get groceries, the closest town with a grocery store is Mountain City about a 20 min drive. It's a beautiful drive though. :)

The property was very clean and the location is remote if you want to get away from it all for a while.

We stayed for a week and really enjoyed the tranquility at the cabin. We boated for several days on the lake (rented Brenda’s pontoon). Was able to fish right off the dock and loved the lower deck where we sat in the afternoons and enjoyed a cocktail. Cabin was very clean and we plan to stay at their other cabin next year!

This place is perfect for couples unplugging from the fast-paced world and looking only to connect with each other. It is clean, simple, private, and peaceful. We loved it!

We had such a lovely stay here and can’t wait to come back again! The location is perfectly secluded in nature and the easy walk down to the dock allowed us to enjoy the lake to the fullest. The small cabin had everything you could need for cooking in and relaxing comfortably. Thank you to our hosts who who had excellent communication and recommendations.

Beautiful lake and mountains. Super cute lake house with fabulous outdoor living spaces. You can rent boats from local marinas. Villa Nove vineyard is close by and is stunning.

My partner and I shared a 3-night, romantic getaway over New Year’s Eve at the lake cabin. Accommodations were perfect, and we really enjoyed star gazing while soaking in the hot tub.
Great view of the lake, and good opportunities for hiking nearby.

Toes across America thank you for putting cushions on the bed legs!
Really need some knobs on the stove that can be read! You can’t tell what the settings are.

Perfect cabin for 2 with a lake view and lake access. This property is a hidden gem.

This is a "tiny house"--absolutely perfect for a couple, with a rare and wonderful access to Watauga Lake and a lower deck right over the water where we spent most of our time. Everything you need is provided, including a great hot tub, which I had forgotten all about until we got there. It, too, overlooks the lake. Another couple joined us twice just for the day, as they live not far from the cabin, and the four of us chilled out. If you like wine, the wines at Watauga Lake Winery and Villa Nove Vineyards are really surprisingly good, and the view at the vineyard is outstanding. We were fortunate to have nearly perfect weather. While swimming, we were startled by inquisitive minnows! We have a smaller SUV and were able to turn it around in the driveway, so as to avoid backing out. A larger car wouldn't be able to do that. Our friends parked up by the road. The coffee pot uses ground coffee, not pods, so be sure to bring it if you drink coffee. Loved our stay.

We had a wonderful time at this well designed and well decorated lake cabin. We especially enjoyed the hot tub, decks, fire pit and kayaks. We saw two bald eagles fly over us as we kayaked!

This property is a neat little gem on the lake and the owner was very helpful and responsive throughout the whole experience. It is a very nicely laid out small cabin with a great view of the lake. The family really enjoyed the use of the kayaks, jacuzzi and the ability to fish off of the dock. If you are in to cat fishing you are nearly guaranteed to pull in a big one off that dock but bring a strong pole with a strong line. They are big ones. Brenda was very helpful throughout the rental process and the instructions she gave for everything at the cabin were perfect. The family loved the place and if we end of back in the area would definitely rent again.

Great place to get away for 2 people. The outside decks and hot tub were perfect, as were the views. It is a very beautiful lake and the option to rent a pontoon boat from the owner made it very easy to enjoy.

Peaceful getaway
This tiny cabin was perfect for two. Everything was very clean and the amenities were so nice. The furniture was comfortable and we had everything needed to enjoy a long weekend. The only downside was the shower. My partner is 6'8" so the small shower was a bit of a challenge for him, but we saw it in the pictures and knew it was going to be a risk. Everything else was so well thought out. Thanks so much for allowing us to stay here!

Peaceful Getaway
Great location on the lake! The cabin is small but efficiently laid out. Comfortable bed, nice towels, good Wi-Fi. The decks are great for enjoying the lake view, and the kayaks were a great way to explore this finger of the lake.

As Good As It Gets!
This is one of our favorite stays ever. It just might be the most peaceful place we have ever visited. So relaxing and yet so much to see and do in the area. Brenda and Tim are fantastic hosts, and having access to kayaks, the pontoon boat, and the hot tub made this visit extra special.
We rode the lake stem to stern and didn’t see another spot we liked better. Being up in the trees with lovely cool breezes was magical!
We were so comfortable in the cabin. It had everything we needed and the two decks and dock area were amazing!
Thank you Tim and Brenda for having us!

What a wonderful place to celebrate our annivesary
Brenda and Tim have a gem of a place perched over a secluded finger of Watauga Lake. Everything was as expected and Brenda and Tim maintained excellent communication to make sure we had everything we needed. We recommend splurging for the boat rental. The lake is definitely worth exploring (there are several small cove great for swimming and fishing). We're looking forward to bringing the family back here in the future.

Sweet Little Gem!
My husband and I booked this sweet little gem last minute due to some unforseen circumstances in our original plans. Brenda made the rental and check in process very simple. The cabin was super clean, which we really appreciated, and very well stocked. We really loved hanging out on the multiple decks just relaxing and enjoying the views. The bed / pillows were really comfortable as well. We rented the boat for 2 days and explored the lake, fished, and went swimming. We enjoyed the hot tub and stargazing at night was beautiful. This place is a little out of the way which is exactly what we wanted. Lots of privacy. You can tell these owners really care about their guests and have thought of everything. P.S. Brenda, the air got a little cool at night and I appreciated the very warm/soft blanket. We can't wait to come back!

Rustic comfort
This is a delightful rustic cabin with top notch amenities for a super comfortable stay. Plenty of hot water and water pressure, amazingly comfortable memory foam bed, cozy heating (we stayed in cool, rainy April), fully functional kitchen, ample hooks for hanging all your stuff. Soaking in the hot tub overlooking the lake was a favorite activity. The host was super responsive to all our questions and completely open about the status of all the amenities, such as a couple things about the driveway/parking and accessing the dock--not a problem at all for us, but might be if you have physical limitations. Definitely recommend!
