Great getaway

The lake was beautiful. The location of the cabin was perfect. The dock was just a short hop from the cabin. The dock could use some up keep ie.. broken boards screws coming out. One small thing is the welcome book could use an update… there is not a dish washer in the cabin. The local store is not there anymore it is now the mercantile. All and all it was the perfect getaway

No kayaks as listed and other issues

We would have brought our kayaks but listing said they’re available in dock-nope, just an old canoe. We shared our kitchen with a mouse (somewhere). There were killed bugs on ceilings and walls. Pillows were next to nothing stuffing wise, sheets from Dollar Tree. Upside-beautiful views, safe cabin, everyone in all cabins were lovely and friendly. The cabin is ok if you don’t mind no frills. We will definitely go back to the area but will stay in a different VRBO.

Peaceful retreat

Some of our favorite moments were sitting by the fire pit as the evening settled in and watching the geese and fish from the deck in the early morning. Quiet, simple, and just what we needed.

Lakeside getaway

We loved the Bass Bungalow! This place is a gem. Clean, cozy and the views are awesome! Such a peaceful, quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed sitting on the porch soaking in the beautiful mountains and Lake Watauga. Our dog enjoyed swimming and had easy access to enter the lake. It was a perfect getaway for us.
