About this property

Beautiful Waterfront Home on Watauga River

  • Brand new to VRBO June 1st 2023. Gorgeous and completely remodeled waterfront home on the beautiful Watauga River. The house was completely remodeled in 2023 with all new windows, life proof flooring, granite countertops, appliances, new black metal roof, new interior and exterior paint, new composite front door, new lights and fans, landscaping, etc. This is a $500K immaculate home right on the river. You might stay somewhere cheaper but you will not stay anywhere nicer in this area. Please look at our cabin VRBO #2196043 if you need something smaller yet just as beautiful, its really made for 2 people but will sleep 4 if needed.

    The house includes a brand new 12' x 12' Trex river dock with stainless steel cables for railing, so as not to diminish the river views. There is also a brand new private boat ramp for those coming in to fish or kayak. Excellent place for a large group or a small group and all the comforts of home. The river deck and mountain deck will be furnished with furniture (not pictured yet), and a grill on the mountain deck. You can fish nearly 300 feet of the river along the property bank. In the summer months you will see lots of rafters, kayaks, and drift boats going by. The house is located on the main road to Wilbur Dam, and is 3 miles downstream from the dam, and not in a floodplain. The back yard has a large chainlink fence for your pets containment and safety, with direct access from the french doors off of the mountain deck.

    From the front of the house all you see is the beautiful river flowing by, from the sides of the house and back all you see is the beautiful Holston Mountain Range. The house has brand new appliances, furniture, mattresses, etc. Incredible entertainment package with Direct TV and a 75" Ultra 4K Samsung in the den and a 65" Samsung Ultra 4k in the primary bedroom. Bose wave radio. Front load washer and dryer for long stays. The front porch will have rocking chairs. More pictures to come. Book now for your next getaway in a spectacular setting. Mountains and river in all directions, yet only 10 minutes to town.

River House is in a great area. About a 20 minute drive to Bristol motor Speedway. Very spacious and comfortable. Large fenced in back yard is great for bringing along your favorite 4 legged friend. Proximity to the river is fantastic. It felt like being at home.

Great experience. Host was quick to respond and answer questions. The house was clean, cool, and comfortable when we arrived. We loved the patriotic decor. The view of the river at sunset was AMAZING! Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the rocking chairs on the front porch. We’d recommend this home to others.

Great Place

Spent a few days at this great place while in the great state of Tennessee attending a celebration of life for my father at his house in Blountville. The house was nice had everything we needed, loved having the river right there to fish. We enjoyed our stay and will be back since the fishing was very good and there's lots that we wanted to explore unfortunately didn't have the time to do so this trip.

This home is more than you could ever expect. Not only is it feet from the Watauga River, it is immaculate inside and out. Everything you could possibly need is thoughtfully provided. We loved sitting on the front porch at night listening to the river. You truly feel welcome and at home in this property. We will definitely be returning soon.

Mountain View getaway

The house was very nice and comfortable for 4 guests and a small dog. The views of the mountains were magnificent as well as watching people paddling down the river across the street from the house. Our host was very welcoming and gracious. We would definitely stay again and try some fishing!
