About this property

Every Fisherman's Dream! Located on the beautiful Watauga River!

Fisherman's Dream is ideal for any fisherman, family or corporate getaway. We offer a beautiful lot with wade out fishing, mountainous views and the tranquility we all need these days. Property includes all linens, fully equipped kitchen, washer & drier, gas grill, TV & WiFi, and both a gas and wood burning fire pit. All you have to pack is your fishing pole and personal items. If you forget your gear or need new gear, our property is located DIRECTLY across the road from Appalachian Outpost. They have a ton of fishing supplies and are very informative!

Fisherman's Dream has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The master bedroom has a queen sized bed that will sleep 2. The other two bedrooms each have 2 full sized beds that could easily allow this property to sleep 10!

Located just 5 minutes to the quaint city of Elizabethton, you can find great local eateries such as the famous Ridgewood BBQ. If you don't want make the trip to town or fry your catch of the day, delivery is available. The grocery store and package stores are 5 minutes away, yet you still have the tranquil setting of a mountain retreat! It is truly the best of both worlds.

Bristol Motor Speedway is only 15 minutes away!! It 's a perfect way to spend race weekend; fish in the day and race at night!!! Roan Mountain State Park, Watauga Lake, and the Jonesborough Storytelling Festival are also very convenient to this property.

The Watauga River offers the some of the best trout fishing in the entire USA! With approximately 2000 fish per acre (yes, you read that correctly). Trout species in the Watauga River are Rainbow, Brook and Brown. There are also various non-game species. This property is almost halfway down the river. It is perfect for taking a lunch break, refilling the cooler, or just stretching your legs before you continue down stream.

Did I mention that right outside the back door of this property is what I call "The Church Hole?" Fisherman almost always stop to fish this location and usually catch something. You can also sit on the bank and just cast a few if you aren't up for wading in the river.

Fisherman's Dream has something to offer everyone. We hope to see you soon.

We loved this place! The back yard is beautiful and there’s plenty of outdoor seating to relax and enjoy the property. Indoors as well, it was larger than I expected. We had family in the area and they came over for dinner. It was a total of 9 people and there was plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen is well supplied and we were able to cook a few meals without any problem. Beds were super comfortable. Heat was great even though it was in the 20s outside. Very clean. Highly recommend for a couple nights with a few friends and family.

This property very well maintained, fully functional with all amenities, highly responsive owner. The front of the property simply appears as a nice house just off Broad St. But the back of the house, yard, firepit, directly on the river with easy wading access makes it special for the fisherman.

Fisherman's Dream

The house was beautiful. Only think you need are toiletries, food and the rest is provided. Just spending time on porch watching the river go by was so relaxing.My daughter loved the hammock, and took a nap in it. Really enjoyed the stay and planning on booking again

Family fun and softball!

We were in town for softball nationals, but this home was the highlight of our stay. Our stay at this Tennessee riverfront home was nothing short of perfect. The property sits right on the water, offering stunning views from sunrise to sunset. The beautifully landscaped grounds felt like something out of a magazine — lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and perfectly maintained outdoor spaces made it a joy just to walk around. Whether sitting on the deck with a morning coffee or relaxing by the river in the evening, the environment was peaceful and restorative. The gentle sounds of the water, the fresh air, and the privacy of the location made it an ideal place to unwind. If you’re looking for a scenic and truly relaxing escape, this home is a gem.
