It was the perfect getaway for us to stay at while we attended the BMS night race. We loved the location and how beautiful the scenery was along with how simple yet practical the cabin was. It was clean and very inviting. We will definitely be back at some point.

Fly Fishing Getaway

I come up to fish the Watauga and South Holston rivers every year. This place is perfect for that. I have stayed at this property many times, usually the Laurel cabin. This time it was the Magnolia cabin and it was just right!

Another GREAT Trip

We have stayed here multiple times and will be back. Awesome location on the river, beautiful views, lots of room for activities, and perfect for adults and children.This trip we actually rented 3 of the cabins for family. First stay in the Magnolia Cabin and it was perfect for my wife and me. Family stayed in the Hemlock and the Sycamore Cabins. 12 of us in total. Perfect location for a family reunion.
