About this cabin rental
This cabin (Sycamore Cabin) is part of our 'rustic lodge'. Our 'rustic lodge' is located on the banks of the beautiful Watauga River, halfway between Johnson City and Elizabethton. The lodge was designed to resemble a horse barn and sits on 5 acres with over 600 feet of river frontage and consists of 3 cabins.
The downstairs Sycamore cabin has over 800 square feet of living space. The cabin has a queen bed and full bath downstairs. In the loft there is a queen bed, two single beds and a half bath.
All linens are included -- all you have to do is pick up some food and bring your personal items -- all other items will be provided for you! The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, cookware, toaster, coffee maker and microwave.
The cabin has heat/air conditioning, ceiling fan, flat screen satellite TV (Direct TV is provider), DVD/VCR, central laundry facility and gas grill.
There is also a full hook-up RV pad with 50 amp service, located on the river. (extra cost) The RV lot has a private deck that overlooks the river.
Very convenient to both Johnson City and Elizabethton (10 minutes) as well as Roan Mountain, Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain and Hawksnest ski resorts (45-60 minutes). Immediately adjacent to the lodge is the Watauga River which is about 100 feet wide and is home to some of the finest Trout fishing in the Eastern United States. Trout species in the Watauga River are Rainbow, Brook and Brown as well as several types of Bass and various non-game species. This lower part of the Watauga has been designated as the 'Quality Trout Zone.'
We have other cabins available please call for dates and prices.

**Review for VRBO Stay**
We had a fantastic stay! The location couldn't have been better for our getaway – it was so convenient. We had family and friends with us, with some renting the cabin beside ours, and it worked out perfectly. The cabin was incredibly family-friendly, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy. Highly recommend for a memorable and hassle-free vacation!

Asheville Fly Fishing Company has had a great experience using this facility for guest lodging while on fishing trips with us. Our private chef also enjoys using this facility to provide gourmet meals for guests. Thanks again for a great experience!

Was very pleasant, the spiral stairs we kind of shaky and made me nervous.

Very happy with the property and condition it was in. I stayed in the sycamore cabin with my wife and a few friends. Plenty of space for all of us comfortably. The water pressure in the shower wasn’t the best, but it was clean and had plenty of hot water. The location of the property was close to Bristol motor speedway. My wife and I both agreed if we come back to the area for another trip we would try to use this property again and think it would be fun to get a larger group to come down and rent out multiple units on the property.

We were here for the NASCAR Race in Bristol. This was the best little spot. Allowed us to easily come & go and stay all together as a family of 4. It was great to be able to see East Tn mountains & the curvy roads up to Bristol. We loved it! I hate that we couldn’t spend time using the outside spaces because they looked incredibly inviting. Hope to get back so we can use those & other outdoor activities in the area. So, yes, it’s a little dated, a little dust, & the typical cobwebs in the corners due to the cool mountain air. But it was home for the weekend and very much a part of our memories & lives forever. Thx for sharing this very unique place!

This our 2nd time gathering our large family at Watagua River Cabins for Thanksgiving. It is a cherished experience made even better by the beautiful setting, plentiful amenities, and set-up of the 5 cabins— especially for the kids and fishermen in our group. We highly recommend one or all the cabins and we hope to do it again in the future!

We came for another visit along with our family/ friends. It doesn’t get much better. Be back in the spring.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. We were in town for my mom's 80th birthday and needed a place for our family to stay. My sister and her family stayed in the unit right next door. It was perfect for everyone. Just wish we could have stayed longer and been able to enjoy the firepit.

We were in town for Annual Vurbmoto Muddy Creek Motorcross race. The rental was cheaper than booking a hotel. We were there just to sleep at night.
4.9
Gorgeous beyond our expectations, the shoals, the campfire, the location. Gary and Patty are awesome!
4.9
We loved our stay during race weekend. Second year in a row that we have stayed there.
4.9
We needed a break from the Florida environment, and an area that included access to trout fishing.
The stay with Watauga River Cabins offered everything we were looking for.
The owners present a relaxing, comfortable outdoor atmosphere with their accomadations.
A plus for staying at the Watauga River Cabins is having access to the mountains and the Watangua river, and South Holston river.
A five star review is well earned due to the owners dedication towards their property.
Where else can you spend a relaxing evening by the campfire with the owners...true southern hospitality at its best.
4.9
The location was ideal on the Watauga river and the grounds and scenery made the trip. We will always refer this place for friends to stay if in the Johnson City area. Lots of things to do in this area. Wonderful owners to work with!!
4.9
Loved the property and location! Easy drive into town, but secluded enough to feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Great setup for entertaining, grilling and sitting by a campfire. Easy access to the river with good trout fishing. Would definitely go back!
4.9
This was a perfect spot to stay while we had a brief vacation mid move. Not stuffy and cramped like a hotel room. Plenty of space for the whole family and it was absolutely beautiful.
4.9
We found this spot a year ago and it is a perfect spot for some R&R with multiple families (able to rent cabins on same property) and close enough for city & outdoor adventures! Highly recommend.
4.9
The property had many great amenities in the shared outdoor space! Very friendly and accommodating. Enjoyed exploring this area of TN.

Overall we were satisfied with our rental, it was clean.
We would recommend a couple of new mattresses.

Our daughter and 2 of her friends had their last travel ball tournament in Johnson City. 3 families stayed in the 3 cabins but all 3 girls stayed with us in the loft. It was perfect for them. Our bed was really comfy. The grill and patio area was awesome as was the fire pit as we listened to the river and nature. It was a wonderful week on the Watauga.
4.9
This place was nothing short of AMAZING! Within minutes to downtown Johnson City and many recreations, yet secluded enough for privacy and serenity. This place had everything but your clothes and food. The other renters were cordial and pleasant to talk to. The shed had lots of activities for the kids to try. We enjoyed talking to the neighbor and getting to pet his dogs, they were very friendly. We even enjoyed the morning calls from the other neighbors rooster. The sound of the rushing river while laying in the hammock was so relaxing.

There were some issues. Was given two door combos but one worked. Was too close to others. Another renter would show up outside our sliding door to use our rocking chairs. Was not pleased. Did not provide Kleenex. Lighting was too dim. No lighting over dining table. Standing light needed a 3-way bulb. Floors did not seem clean. Toilet paper was commercial. Not my type.

The property and being right on the Watauga River was just AWESOME. Truly a gem, so glad we found you! Thank you, and we can't wait to come back again very soon. :)

Watuga River Cabins did not disappoint! Such a beautiful setting! The cabin was everything we thought it would be, comfortable, and cozy. We would most definitely return!

Group of friends from Greenville SC enjoyed a wonderful 2 nights and fly fishing on the Watauga River. Would highly reccomned this rental. Very accomodating and welcoming. Loved the time around the fire pit out back. 10/10
4.9
Love this cabin and the location. The communal space out back looks over the river. It is a great place to just rest and relax while enjoying the river.
The cabin was perfect for the four of us. Everything was very clean and cabin was well stocked with supplies to cook a meal. Backyard area has a gas grill, fire pit, table and chairs making spending time with family and friends very easy.
Saw the property managers working around the property several times, they were always very friendly and willing to chat.
4.9
This property was perfect for our large family. The backyard spaces were great for relaxation and games and family gatherings for meals. We so enjoyed our time together there and hope to come back again!
4.9
We very much enjoyed our stay. The river is right there and so beautiful with the trees. They have lovely places along the river bank where one can sit and enjoy. They are very accommodating allowing our dogs and providing coffee. Our neighbors in the apartments in which we shared the outdoor common space were very nice too.
4.9
Very good with some small issues. There is a constant water leak on the master bath shower faucet. The gasket needs to be replaced. We had an invasion of small ants in the kitchen the first night. Two plastic boxes of cinnamon buns had to be discarded. We kept the rest of the food stored in the refrigerator. The third step on the spiral staircase needs to be checked; it is loose. The instructions gave two numbers for the door code. Only one is correct. I suggest you add a Keurig coffee maker.
Overall, this is a really nice place and great location on the river!
4.9
Our family had a fabulous stay in the Sycamore Cabin. We loved the outdoor seating area options and being right by the river. We hope to return!
