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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

The house had not been cleaned well at all. I had to clean the bathroom and kitchen the first night we were there. The owner was apologetic and refunded my cleaning fee. He asked his normal cleaning crew to come during our stay, but she never arrived. The house smelled like dogs. The living room and one bedroom was very unpleasant. I think the furniture needs to be replaced or deep cleaned.

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.
