Cozy stay in the mountains

The property is close by several good hiking trails and the lake. Nearby towns have all you can need and there are 2 wineries about 30 minutes away that we very much enjoyed. Overall a super place at this price point.

Nice Weekend Getaway

It is on a highway but the property is surrounded by trees and greenery that really make it feel so secluded. It allows you to be in the mountains without all the traffic and crowds of a touristy place. There are plenty of nature outings within the general area and we always found new things to do. The house was clean and comfortable and we really enjoyed our stay there!

Watauga Lake Hideaway

Cozy country cabin on road to Watauga Lake. Host is friendly and accommodating. Close to lake and hiking. Near Appalachian trail and Roan Mountain is right down the road. Beautiful countryside! Home is quintessential country cabin - homey and artfully decorated.

Had everything except peace and quiet

The cabin and all amenities were good. It is located on a very busy highway that is on a downslope. There’s a lot of traffic especially heavy truck traffic that use Jacob brakes when descending the hill and are extremely loud. The cabin has a beautiful front porch with a swing, but it is less than 150 feet from the road, and can’t be enjoyed because of the noise. Everything else was great.

Perfect weekend getaway

Stayed at cabin to get away from city and enjoy some much needed R&R. Cabin & property were yum perfect. Thoroughly enjoyed outdoor space from the great rocking porch and fire pit, to grassy areas for pup to explore. Cabin was easy to access, somewhat isolated in the fact that you had no neighbors adjoining property, very private. You were close to highway, so you had some traffic noise from front of property but nothing that interfered with your privacy or enjoying the stay. Cabin was very clean, stocked nicely, and good communication with host. Would definitely book again.

Not worth the price

We were expecting a place in the woods near the river. This place is next to a busy road, the yard is small and there was no river in sight. I was constantly worried about my dogs getting out and running into the road. The house was fine but not worth what we paid. We left early.

Cabin for hiking the Appalachian Trail

This was our second stay. The cabin is great. Clean and comfortable. It is an ideal location for a base camp to hike many sections of the AT. We use Boots Off Hostel less than a mile down the road to shuttle us to and from various trail heads.The host is very quick to answer questions. The outside porches are wonderful for relaxing. Watauga lake is just down the road and there are several attractions near by if you want to do other activities.

AT Hiking Trip

Three hiking buddies stayed here for three days section hiking the AT. The location of the cabin is great for accessing several trail heads. Just down the road from Boots Off Hostel who we used for our shuttles to the trails. (Great Service)The cabin was perfect. Very clean. Great outside deck areas. Cabin had everything we needed. Nicely decorated and very comfortable. The host was quick to respond to our questions. We loved it and have booked again for another hiking weekend!

Gross Cabin

This cabin was misrepresented in the description and pictures on the Vrbo app. Shame on you for allowing this dirty and disgusting property to allowed in your app. I wish I could upload all of my pictures to save future guests the trouble of arriving to garbage in the fire pit, the rusty and filthy grill, the moldy deck and steps and the dirty kitchen. Most of all I wish I could allow everyone a deep breath of the disgusting smell that permeated the entire cabin. I would give this location zero stars if allowed. Please reconsider your relationship with this host.

Cute place

We had a good stay there was a small plumbing issue but Tony was all over it and had it fixed before we returned from the lake. We traveled with our two service dogs and one got I'll and had to be rushed to the vet so we did not get to check out properly. Tony was totally understanding and easy to work with. I would recommend this last cation and proprietor.

Overall good stay

The positives were that the place was clean, nice location, good communication with owner, served its purpose for the week. The opportunities are that an air conditioning unit in the second bedroom would help, there were ants but that's what happens in these kinds of places, the pillows on the beds were not comfortable, the bathroom is very small and the hot water tank is good for about 1 and 1/2 showers before it goes cold. Locationwise there is a McDonald's and dunkin' donuts about 5 minutes away.

Perfect private and cozy

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights and it was perfect for the two of us. It was cozy, clean, and convenient to fish spring marina( like 4 min) , and it’s definitely private. Only suggestion I have is add some mixing bowls. We cooked our own dinner, but had no bowls to put things in… ( unless I missed it?) Overall- this is exactly as it looked, we loved it, we will be back. Tony was amazing, answered questions right away.. Thanks for a great stay Tony!

Good stay

I was very pleased with Tony (the host) and the cabin. It was clean and comfortable. My only negative is that from the description of the property I expected to be in a more quite remote location close to a lake. However the cabin is right off a major road with a lot of traffic and road noise. It was a great location in regard to access to State Parks and National Forest.

Cabin/house was absolutely wonderful!! Super cute and homey. Was beyond perfectly accommodated for my son and I. Also super close to a TON of hiking trails, ziplining, lake activities, etc. I would rent this place again in a heartbeat! With the highway being right under you there is more road noise than what some may expect, but it wasnt anything overwhelming. TOTALLY worth our 9.5 hour drive for vacation!! A HUGE thank you to the host Tony!

Cabin among the trees

Quaint private cabin in the trees. I’m a flatlander from MN so all the hills going to a lot of properties was quite interesting. It’s nice and close to the lake, wish there were sidewalks. Ate at southern craft on Watauga lake, best brisket I’ve ever had. The cabin is in a good location, close to a lot of towns and the lake, cozy and comfortable. Loved the deck. Yes you can hear the traffic but it didn’t bother us, we live in the land of 10,000 lakes in MN, how else do you expect people to get to the lake, I had the room closest to the road, I always sleep with a fan on which pretty much drowned out the traffic, mom was in the back room and she said it didn’t bother her. We would definitely stay here again.

Pretty nice place to stay.

Overall it was a nice place to stay, with close access to the lake. The only gripes we had, were, the full bed was kinda stiff and uncomfortable. We ended up sleeping on the twin beds the second night. And we had to fuss with the modem a bit to use the Wifi.
