Beautiful Location

This property is so cute with the best view of the lake! Love the dock and enjoyed laying out in the lounge chairs and having the kayak and paddle board to use. The cabin is small but spent our time outside. Cabin very clean and welcoming! Host was amazing at communicating.
Beautiful sunset from the dock.

Beautiful and comfortable lakeside retreat

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The property is in a great location with gorgeous views and easy lake access. The house was clean, comfortable, and very cozy. The hot tub was fantastic and perfect for cold weather, although I would definitely recommend for summer as well. Our host was very communicative and offered great recommendations for where to go locally. I definitely plan to return and stay for longer!

Best location!

My family had a great stay the last week of July. The views from the house and fire pit are great. We cooked outside on the grill or fire pit almost everyday. Their dock is awesome and my kids had a blast jumping off of it 1000s of times a day. Great spot to swim and the sunsets down there are top notch!

We absolutely loved our stay at Bear Cub Cabin! We were in town to go to the Bristol race but after getting to this beautiful cozy cabin, we ditched the Friday night race. Everything was so nice and clean and there were lots of little touches to make our stay extra comfy and relaxed. We went fishing out of Fish Springs Marina, which was great. We loved the surrounding area (towns of Butler and Elizabethton), the people were super friendly. We enjoyed the slower pace an even the lack of cell service was nice at times. I highly recommend this cabin and the hosts!

The best weekend getaway

My husband and I came here just for one night and it was the best one day getaway ever. We love to visit watauga lake and find that we always have to book a house that is way too big for us to get the amenities we want. 1000% book this place if you’re looking for a perfect property to swim in the lake, float, paddle board, and then grill out and have a fire. Also the bed was probably the most comfortable bed we’ve ever slept on.

Beautiful views and very clean!

We had a wonderful stay the Bear Cub cabin on Watauga Lake. The cabin was very clean and had many special little touches around it. My 6 year old and 3 year old loved the loft! Charity had toys and little things up there for children. There were drawers with coloring books and games as well. We ate outside every night and enjoyed the view from the outdoor dining table. The fire pit was very nice as well! The dock was clean and the floating mat was a hit with everyone! We decided that we need to get one now! We brought our own boat and launched it at Rat Branch on the other end of the lake. It was a beautiful 20 minute boat ride to the house along the main channel. They are putting in a new boat launch very close to the cabin, just down the road. One thing to note is that it was a bit too tight for two families. The master bedroom and the 2nd bedroom are right beside each other. The guests in the master bedroom have to walk through the other bedroom to get to the rest of the cabin. There is only a door separating the two bedrooms. However, this doesn’t effect my rating because it was so clean and beautiful and we spent most of our time outside. My husband and I have already decided that we would definitely come back just us and our kids or for a getaway just the two of us.

The Bear Cub Cabin was just PERFECT! Located in a quiet section of the lake, the cabin is tastefully furnished, very clean, and plenty of room. The host is very responsive, provided everything you need and even included all the fixings for S'mores at the fire pit. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again.

Great time at the cabin!

We had an excellent time Bear Cub as a family of 4. I was so impressed with how CLEAN it was and I am so picky about that. It smelled truly clean and not a speck of dirt or dust. The grounds are maintained so it was easy to access and walk the dog. We had a blast on the lake and love the area. It is very rural so be prepared! The kids loved playing in the loft but did end up sleeping in the primary (room with a door that shut) and mom and dad got relegated to the smaller bed but still everyone slept well! We appreciated the s’mores kit there too because we assumed it would be too hot for a fire… it was just right for a quick smore party! Charity was great and easy to work with!

We loved staying at Bear Cub Cabin. Cabin was very clean and well stocked with everything you will need. Charity was a wonderful host and very responsive throughout our stay. Watauga lake is beautiful with surrounding mountains. We really enjoyed the 2 wineries within a couple of miles of the cabin. Both had stunning views and property grounds were amazing.
