Watauga Lake is an extremely beautiful and clean recreational lake (3rd cleanest in the country) located in the Cherokee National forest with 105 miles of shoreline. More than half of the lake is mountainous national forest and cannot be developed, so its really naturally beautiful and not crazy overpopulated with boats. This hidden gem is known to be one of the most beautiful lakes on the east coast. Watauga lake is great for boating, jet-skiing, tubing, skiing/wakeboarding, fishing, swimming, kayaking etc.
Downstream of the dam is a very popular whitewater rafting area as most of the local companies in TN and NC bring their patrons here. Hiking is also very popular as the Appalachian trail and a couple of small waterfalls are nearby. This property is also close to attractions in Boone, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock, NC and also attractions in eastern TN.
We have great sunny summers with no mosquitoes and beautiful fall colors when the leaves change. In the winter time, skiing is a popular option at nearby Sugar and Beech Mountain. This is a spectacular mountain and lake getaway. Stair notice: Nestled in a scenic mountainous location, this charming vacation rental offers the perfect lakeside retreat. Please note that the property features approximately 15 steps leading to the front door, and additional steps down to the dock. As with most properties on the lake, the terrain offers a bit of a climb and descent, making it a great option for guests who appreciate nature and don't mind a little extra effort. Please consider these features when booking. Rural Location Notice: Our property is located in a very rural area. Cell service may be spotty. Local services such as maintenance, repairs, or emergency help can be limited and slower to respond. If an unexpected issue arises during your trip (such as power outages, weather impacts, or pest encounters, etc), we recommend checking out early if the issue affects your comfort. We do not offer refunds tor trip related interruptions, delays or inconveniences outside of our control. We strongly encourage guests to purchase travel insurance.

We had an issue upon our arrival and contacted the owner. She replied immediately. Great communication, lovely home on the lake and my family enjoyed our vacation. When we return next year, we will stay here again.
We had a nice stay and enjoyed having a safe place to put our boat and a nice dock. The pad was a seller for me too. The house is also very nice. Until the water levels rise back up, just be careful going from the steps to the ramp and up/down the ramp. But Overall, we would love to come back.
Loved having the kayaks at the dock because there are too many steps to carry my paddle board down to the lake. Also we loved the floating pad and the quiet inlet that the house is on.
We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, clean, and so relaxing. Everything was exactly as described, and the hosts were great to work with. We would definitely stay here again!
This property provided us with beautiful, relaxing views of the gorgeous lake and plenty of time to read and relax. The house has the two most comfortable swinging chairs that overlook the lake.
My spouse and I went for some R&R to fish and hike and just enjoy nature. Great house with amazing natural light and views ! Location right on the lake was just what we needed.
We absolutely LOVED our winter trip to this beautiful home. The owner was excellent in communicating with us and had everything we needed at the home. We would definitely stay there again!
It was one of the quietest vacations we have had. Every night was a peaceful sleep and the lake is beautiful with very clean water. It was a great mountain vacation.
Beautifully decorated house, with lots of windows and outdoor spaces to enjoy the views of the lake. It is on a “finger” of the lake, so there is virtually no boat traffic. Very peaceful and quiet. Property manager was very responsive.
Really loved this property, the beds were comfortable and I’m thankful we were allowed to bring our pets. Great proximity to the wineries for a little getaway after being on the lake. Loved that there was a kayak and Lilly pad to float on. The only con was that the deck looked a lot nicer in the photos, none of the sitting areas were inviting and were pretty dirty and needed a little tlc but the floating dock was clean and we just brought camping chairs down there which was totally fine.
What a great week! The house was the cleanest pet friendly house we have ever stayed in. The host was extremely helpful making sure we had everything we needed. There were plenty of cozy blankets and the beds are super comfy! We enjoyed our stay so much, we extended our visit an extra day! We would highly recommend this house to anyone wanting to come and enjoy the lake. We would absolutely rent this house again.
We booked the cabin for my family of 5 for Thanksgiving! We cooked an entire Thanksgiving dinner and the kitchen had everything we needed! The host was so awesome. Great communication and even surprised us with some Thanksgiving decorations to make our stay fun! The cabin was very clean and just as described. The views were amazing. While remote and off the beaten path, there are two wineries close and you are an easy drive to Boone and Blowing Rock. We had a great time and will be back to enjoy the dock and lake when it’s warmer. Excellent property!
We are from West Coast and came to Lake Watauga for a wedding with our daughter and son in law. We stayed in early June. The cabin was great!! Enjoyed the lake, fished from the dock and from the provided kayaks and caught bluegill and small mouth on flies. It is a beautiful spot. The cabin itself is recently redone. It is very comfortable for two couples. Parking was easy, we had a 23 foot sprinter and a Jeep without problem. The cabin is up on the bank with steps leading to the water to a very nice dock that has room for two boat. We all enjoyed our stay tremendously. If i lived closer i would book this cabin every year for a week. One final comment, I play guitar and the beautiful sitting room overlooking the lake has great acoustics!!!
Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2021
