Twisted Vines– Cozy Tiny Home Lake NC Ski Resorts

Embrace winter at our tiny-home cabin in the Appalachian Mountains near Watauga Lake and the Appalachian Trail. Just 50 minutes from Sugar, Beech, and Appalachian ski resorts, this warm 500 ft² retreat sleeps up to 4 with a queen bed and queen sleeper sofa. Enjoy holiday markets, cozy mountain towns, and the annual Watauga Lake Boat Parade—one of the area’s most magical winter traditions. Hosted by WataugaLakeVacations, Twisted Vines Cabin is pet friendly.

Escape the city lights in our Appalachian tiny-house. On the main level, there is a full kitchen, dining area, living area, and outdoor deck complete with grill, bistro dining set and outdoor seating. For connectivity and entertainment, we offer free high-speed WiFi, a 43" 4K HDR Roku TV. As cell service is limited in this remote area, WiFi calling must be enabled to make phone calls. Downstairs has a magnificent queen bed made from beautiful, local hardwood, a full bathroom with shower, small sitting area and laundry room. Watauga Lake, the Appalachian Trail, and ski resorts are all within minutes.

You have access to the entire cabin. There is very little yard space; however, there is ample deck space. Paved parking allows for two vehicles.

This area is quite remote; however, the cabin is on a major road for the area (it is only a two lane highway) and is very easy to get find.

Watauga Lake, one of the cleanest lakes in the country, offers great places for boating, swimming, water sports, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding. Boat rentals are just seven minutes away and the Little Milligan boat ramp is five minutes away.

The Appalachian Trail is 11 minutes away, and many hiking trails such as Laurel Falls, Blue Hole Falls, Pond Mountain, and Lacy Trap Ridge are close by.

Additional recommendations for local places are in our guidebook.

This cabin is located on a well traveled two lane road. During the winter, it is plowed first and up kept regularly. There is ample parking just off the road for 2 vehicles or vehicle with a trailer. Pull in and pull out is easy and no backing up is required.

There is a Dollar General within four minutes and a variety of grocery stores 18 to 25 minutes away. We recommend you get groceries prior to arrival.

WiFi calling must be enabled to make phone calls from the cabin - cell service is limited in the area.

This cabin is located in the Cherokee National Forest. One of the benefits is you will possibly get to see wildlife! We have seen bear, deer, turkeys, etc. Conversely, you may see wildlife! Since it is in a remote area, be aware that this is a possibility and should be expected.

A baby crib, Graco Pack-N-Play, is available in the laundry room.

Wonderful stay at Watauga Lake

The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The hosts were wonderful and communicative. Everything we needed was there and it was super convenient to the lake. The bathroom and bedroom are downstairs, so be aware of that if you have any physical conditions that would make it a problem. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely stay again when in the area.

Very quiet place to relax and unwind. We had everything we needed. The cabin is nice and clean. Bathroom is very small, needs to be enlarged. Hosts are very friendly. Some of the area is still under clean up from the flood. I would recommend this cabin

Quite an unexpected surprise!

It was an amazing little getaway and we were quite surprised at the layout of the rooms. What I expected was to turn the corner and find a little room to sleep in. Instead i was greeted to a staircase that led to a huge bedroom. It was an enjoyable weekend and look forward to staying again in the future!

Amazing Experience

We had an incredible stay and the host were very nice with excellent communication skills. My favorite thing about the house was that we were able to bring our own TV box to play our own movies we downloaded, hook up was so easy. We had a great movie night and the bed was very relaxing. Will be returning again soon

Great little cabin!

Everything about checking in, cleanliness, and resources to help us enjoy the area was excellent with this little cabin! As Christie and Donoven state, there's really no yard although the back deck looks out to see a pasture with horses. It's roomier than it would seem and though it's right off 321, there was no issue with traffic noise or lights. We had a great vacation and it was nice to have such an easy experience with great hosts.

Relaxing stay

The cabin is very cozy. I was impressed with how much attention went into preparing it for me and my friend. Check in was very easy, lights were on for us and the heaters were running in advance. We had everything we needed. The upstairs heater was slow to warm the room on one day, but worked just fine all other days. The location is near a beautiful lake with great views and not very far from Beech mountain where we went snowboarding. I recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a quiet stay away from the city.

Quaint Cabin

Great for a quick stay and very convenient to public lake access. Overall the cabin was clean. The location of the cabin is very close to the road, would not recommend if you have small children. The cabin was probably not a home originally, the bedroom is on the lower level and had a musty odor. The bathroom is functional but also small with a 3x3 shower. Would be great for a couple fishermen looking for quick access to the boat ramp.

Affordable, cute and great location..

We stayed at this cabin, for the location. My parents have a travel trailer in Mallard Cove campground. Which, is only 1 mile away from this place! It was great to visit with them, enjoy their boat at the marina and have a wonderful night’s sleep in this cute cabin. There was every little detail in this place… a well stocked kitchen, linens, computer, comfortable furniture and working WIFI. It was also a huge bonus to have a washer and dryer, to do a a quick load of laundry. We also enjoyed the deck outside, (which was private), to have a cup of coffee and watch the sun come up. We were a little bit worried about the road traffic and noise, but we had no problem at all. We will stay again, for sure!

Clean but very moldy downstairs.

Home was immaculately clean. Unfortunately they are not mindful of the moldy bedroom and shower area downstairs. If you are at all sensitive to mold steer clear. It smells bad down there. Husband and I arrived late with no other options so we slept upstairs on the couch and makeshift bed on the floor. They need a better dehumidifier - get rid of any carpeting - redo the tiny shower area. Also surprised it was right off a major road. - The good part was the well stocked kitchen and nice updated appliances. No dust. It was definitely clean. It just has mold issues that need to addressed. (The towels Stink bad of mold in the bathroom too.) Too bad because there was a nice big bed downstairs.
