The house was perfect for my family of three. We enjoyed the fire pit and the dock.

This was absolutely my “dream house”! Always wanted a mountain house on a lake! This was the most beautiful place we’ve ever stayed at! Would love to come again sometime.

Comfortable and cozy lake house in a quiet area. We had a great time on the lake and will definitely come back again.

Was so relaxing. Nice place. Definitely a hard hike from water to house, Great exercise. Pictures don’t show how far from stairs to house.

Beautiful, comfortable and clean, the dock at the lake was so nice for fishing, swimming, relaxing. Great deck on the cabin to hang out..Just beautiful. Quiet and private but close enough to get out to area attractions.. highly recommend this place

Came with my childhood friends to celebrate our 40th birthdays. It was the perfect little getaway, but was only about 45 min away from home for most of us. We enjoyed this clean cozy cabin, sipping coffee on the porch, soaking up the sun on the dock with our cold drinks and snacks, and s’mores by the fire. Bit of a hike back up from the dock, but it was good for us!

We only stayed the weekend but this little place had everything we needed. It's a very clean and cozy! Be forewarned that's a drive is steep up to the place but my Camry had no problems. The walk down to the lake is also steep so if you're out of shape you may not want to go down there LOL. It's very quiet and we rested perfectly each night.

Great experience! The location is remote but the house is modern and has nice amenities. We had one minor issue with the door lock and the property manager was there within 15 minutes. The lake is beautiful as advertised! If you’re looking to get away and find some peace and quiet in a beautiful rural setting, this place will deliver.

The house was amazing, super clean and cozy. The boat dock was perfect and we really enjoyed our entire stay. Steve was very communicative when we had questions. We wanted to stay longer, so we’ll be sure to book more nights next time. Thanks, Steve, for a great stay!

We relaxed on the dock, floated, rented a boat for a day. Sat in the porch, sat by fire, cooked/grilled, played games at night. It was great!

This is an absolute must place to stay if visiting Lake Watuaga! Family of 6 stayed for three nights and there is not one negative about the house and property. Clean, beautiful view of the lake, comfy beds, nice dock, well equipped kitchen, great outside gas grill, perfect porch, and the list goes on and on. Nice surprise of a bundle of wood on the front porch for an evening of s’mores around the campfire. The description of the property on the listing describes everything to a T. Definitely will check to see if this is available on our next visit to Watauga!!!

We had a great time fishing, swimming, kayaking, and using the fire pit during this vacation.

We brought our teenagers to enjoy a few days at the Lake…they left saying they had the best time ever!!! They loved the fire pit, dock and hanging out on the porch. My husband and I loved the cleanliness, well stocked kitchen and gorgeous view! It was so private, well maintained and beautiful! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! Driveway was great to park a truck and boat trailer and extra cars! It was so well with stocked towels/supplies…and I loved the fact that it had a laundry room!!! Teens are hard to please….and mine were more than pleased with their experience!!! We’d definitely stay here again!

This home was just what we needed! Super clean and comfortable. Very organized and well stocked kitchen. Comfy bed. View of the lake was beautiful! We would definitely stay here again.

From the moment that we drove up til the minute we departed was nothing but the relaxation time we needed. This property was immaculate. We wanted for nothing! Started every morning with a cup of coffee on the porch swing overlooking beautiful Lake Watagua and ended every evening (weather permitting) cooking dinner on the campfire or gas grill. The kitchen was well appointed. The bed was extremely comfortable. The bathrooms were also well appointed. Like I said … we wanted for nothing and got much more than we expected! Our host was more than accommodating … very welcoming with goodies and a card and at the same time allowed us complete privacy during our complete stay. We hope to be back in the near future!!! Highly recommend this lovely property!!

This Home is absolutely Beautiful we felt right at home and Steve made sure everything was perfect even went out of his way to make place for a trailer we were pulling. We will definitely stay here again and we are gonna tell family and friends to book this home. ❤️

The house is absolutely gorgeous, very clean. Everything in a working condition, comfortable beds. Located right on the huge lake, great for fishing. Very private and quiet.

Property was clean, in perfect order, and peaceful. Neighbors were quiet and at far enough distance to not be an issue for us. Enough can't be said for how clean everything was, we felt completely at home. We had to contact our host over a minor question (if garbage service ran on Thanksgiving Day) and he was prompt in responding. Would rent this home again.

The house is beautiful and well stocked. The privacy and view are nice bonuses. We loved our stay here.

Remote (but not extremely) & private. The home is well stocked with most everything you will need for a wonderful, relaxing time. It is a beautiful cabin with a great layout, very comfortable furniture, quality items in every room. Steve answered our one call quickly and was very helpful. Thanks Steve. We would highly recommend this cabin and hope to return for another relaxing stay.

The home sets on a hillside overlooking a cove of Watauga Lake. While there we were very pleased with the property and home. The area is very quiet, the neighbors far enough away and the home has everything you need for your stay. Do know you may have no cellular signal (Verizon) but will have wi-fi and and a land line phone. The dock is great but the hill is steep, so be prepared to climb up and down. Enjoy the porch and firepit. I recommend the location for families. If you have elderly adults in your party, know they will need to climb a few stairs at the home and won't be making the trek down to the dock.

My family and I had a wonderful weekend staying in this lake home! It was very clean and comfortable and we had everything we needed! The property and surrounding lake/mountain area was beautiful! Just what we needed!
