Top Watauga River Hotel Reviews

Carnegie Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great location within walking distance of ETSU. Clean and welcoming."

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Johnson City

8/10 Good

"Housekeeping was excellent in working with me every morning!!! 🙂. They were the best! Really! Continental breakfast was disappointing. Waffle maker did not cook the waffles all the way through. Would suggest to put out tea bags too. Not everyone likes coffee. Wished we could have taken a swim, but, the pool was closed."

Quality Inn Johnson City near Downtown

8/10 Good

"It's was clean and the bed was great but could really use an update but ok for tje price."

Black Bear Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Our cabin was very clean and orderly. The staff was by far the best part of the whole stay. The fire pit was stocked and kept going by Charles. A small group of us sat by the fire and enjoyed the evening. It was one of the best stays we have had on the road that we can ever remember. We stayed for the location but will come back for the peace and quiet the property offers. The Cafe was a pleasant surprise for breakfast. The building itself large and beautiful. The food, however was even better. Reasonable pricing and exceedingly large portions. Just a really fantastic stay!"

Watauga River Cabins-Laurels Cabin

"Everything was great and as advertised"

Watauga River Cabins-Hemlock

10/10 Excellent

"The Hemlock cabin was on the ground level. Good for the older crowd."

Watauga Lake Hideaway

10/10 Excellent

"The lake house was perfect! It was clean, and had everything we needed. We came for the fall race at BMS and the commute was easy and took about 30 minutes. Did not have time to visit the surrounding areas but it was beautiful. To check in the cabin an app had to be downloaded and used to lock and unlock the door, so I was worried about having service and my phone battery life the whole time. If you want privacy this is the one for you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!"

10/10 Excellent
