Watauga Lake Hotels

"Clean and cozy. A great place to escape. The view was beautiful. We brought our dogs and they did well. There’s not a big “yard” for pets but it’s enough, especially if you walk them. We were hoping to let them swim but the shore was too steep and we weren’t sure we’d be able to get them back on the dock if they jumped in from there. It is also spring and still pretty cold or we would have gone in with them and just pushed them out. There’s a fantastic, magnetic screen so you do not need to worry about dogs going through it. The deck is fully enclosed, to keep them or smaller kids safely enclosed. Karen was great and quick to respond to messages. The chalet is in a location, close to VA and NC, so there’s a lot to see and do if you are willing to drive a bit."

"Very unique cabin. The decor is very cool. I love all the use of vines and tree branches in the home. However was not impressed with the river access. The only place to fish is right on the loading dock unless you dont mind risking breaking your neck to go up the bank which you only have a small cove with several obstacles in the water . If you play pool you cant the sticks are broken and no tips as well as the darts for the dart board and the stool which i discovered by sitting in it and it just collapsed under me and I am smaller person. And you should hope no one hits a ball off the table cause it may land on the person sitting on the couch downstairs and that hurts. I could never get the tv in the bedroom to work which by the way was like being at a boy scout camp. It a small room with all the beds squeezed in it. So plan for your group to basically be sleeping all together. No privacy at all. And as far as view there is none. The trees are grown up and all you see is a barn.There is plenty of wildlife we seen deer and small bear cub and the chickens I did like the kitchen and living room and porch but if you want to use the hot tub it does not have a cover so if its raining its not so relaxing. We didnt use the canoes but if it is summer i am sure you have to fight over them cause there is only two for all those cabins. I do recommend going to Johnson city to enjoy all it has to offer and the tri city flea market on Sundays. I enjoyed our stay but will not return. "

"The view of the mountains at this location are unmatched to any other places I’ve stayed at. It’s very peaceful and relaxing. The host is very knowledgeable and informative on best roads to take to get to the location. They were also kind enough to let us check in earlier than the normal check in time. We had a great time and thank you very much for having us!"

"The house needs to be better equipped. It didn’t even have a cutting board! No amenities like soap, shampoo or conditioner. Usually when we have stayed at other VRBOs there are spices left over and dried goods from other guest. There was nothing in this house. It was more like a hunting cabin! No tvs in the rooms, the pantry door was just laying up against the wall, the fireplace was dirty, there was a knob missing on they stove so you couldn’t even use one of the burners and one on the cabinet doors kept coming off! We come every year to this area for our family ski trip and this house by far was the most disappointing one yet. "

"We went to celebrate my sister‘s 40th birthday and we had the best time! The cabin is beautiful, clean, and all our needs were anticipated. They even left a birthday card for my sister! Highly recommend!"

"We had such an amazing stay at the majesty Mountain Cabin. The place was super clean, and cozy. The stunning views alone were worth the trip.The open living room layout was perfect for our family. It made hanging out together so easy and fun. All the bedrooms were spotless and really well taken care of. Everything felt comfortable, warm and thoughtfully set up with pretty much anything you’d need.Richard - the owner was awesome, super responsive and genuinely helpful. He really went out of his way to make sure we had a great time, which we truly appreciated.We’d definitely recommend this place and can’t wait to come back!"
