Challenge each other to board games or relax in porch swings/rockers/hammock while stargazing the night sky. Come and enjoy the tranquility of Watauga Lake and create unforgettable memories.

The cabin layout: 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a large 3rd floor loft.
Main Floor: The open concept main floor has a family room with tv and gas fireplace, dining table for 8, and an upscale kitchen with a farmhouse sink, gas stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave/convection oven, trash compactor, wine chiller and a large island with seating for 4.

Beautiful house and setting
My wife and I and our daughter’s family enjoyed this beautiful house with a pleasant deck and views of the mountains above the lake. We like to cook and eat in a lot when we gather some of our family, and this house had one of the better equipped kitchens we’ve seen, as well as a stock of seasonings and condiments we were free to use. The owners also left a complimentary package of fixings for s’mores that we all enjoyed over several evenings of our stay. We made daily use of a retractable canopy over the deck against the afternoon and evening sun. When a heavy rainstorm tripped a circuit breaker for the canopy, I emailed the owners and it was fixed the same day. It is a steep walk down to the dock (and back up!), but we found that we enjoyed the up-and-down walks in the beautiful wooded neighborhood.

Perfect Stay
The view alone was amazing but the property and owners made it so much beyond amazing. The amenities were endless, things I’d never think of needing, everything was available. The house was immaculately clean and comfy! There were so many little touches that made the stay delightful. My teens were never bored, even put their devices away for most of the trip. The loft was perfect for them! WiFi was questionable at one point for my son needing to take an online exam, but it worked perfectly on the 2nd floor. Thank you, Laura and Chris, for allowing us to stay in your place. Lots of love and memories shared this week!

Great stay at this cabin!
We had a great time at this cabin! The communication was super easy and quick and the place looks exactly like it does in the pictures. Clean and neat and well appointed. It’s close to food and grocery and there were plenty of recreation areas and parks close by to exercise our dog. Would absolutely recommend staying there!

Watauga Lake is Beautiful
We enjoyed the cabin. It was well stocked and clean. There is not a lake view from the cabin and a pretty long walk to the dock. We had a boat and made it work but the walk up the hill multiple times a day was hard. The cabin was very comfortable and worked well for our group.

Why they chose this property

Owning a mountain home and a lake home has always been a dream to us. This is the best of both worlds, and the beauty of this mountain-lake is just breathtaking. In a time when the world was all stuck within the walls of their own home, we decided to purchase this beautiful cabin as a way to escape, explore, enjoy the beauty around us, and share it with others wanting to do the exact same thing! No matter the season, the views are stunning here, I promise you!
