Feels Like Home "Lake front" Lake Watauga in the TN Hills

Relax and experience the beauty of Eastern Tennessee in our spacious (2100 sqft) and comfortable home away from home. Settle in to one of our three private bedrooms, then head to the fully-appointed kitchen to grab a snack or fire up the grill to enjoy the lake and mountain views while you prepare a meal. Enjoy floor-to-ceiling windows in our living room and game room for that mountain view from the indoors.
For the rest of your stay you can enjoy fireside chats, fishing and swimming in famous Lake Watauga from our private double deck boat dock with room for your boat, jet ski or kayak relax in the hot tub, or play pool and/or cards in our game room. With so many options, there's sure to be something fun for all ages and interests.
For more exploring, our cabin is centrally located just a short drive from many tourist attractions. Visit one of several marinas located on Lake Watauga to rent boats, kayaks, jet-skis, and other water-sport equipment. Or, bring your own boat and launch it at the closest marina (approximately 5 minutes from our cabin).
Plan a hike to nearby waterfalls, or Grandfather Mountain. Head about 30 miles east to Boone, NC and visit the Tweetsie Railroad and wander the beautiful campus at Appalachian State University.
Plan a visit to Bristol Motor Speedway, or head west about 20 miles to visit one of the nations oldest covered bridges in Elizabethton, TN. If you're visiting on a Friday or Saturday night, Elizabethton also has a drive-in theater that plays current films. Wander the antique shops, or enjoy a classic Eastern Tennessee meal in Johnson City. So much adventure and relaxation to be enjoyed, you're sure to want to visit again!
Although we love our four-legged friends, pets are not permitted.

Weekend at that Lake

We enjoyed our stay for the Memorial Day weekend. We came from NC and brought our boat. Exploring Watauga Lake was the highlight for my husband. My teenage son enjoy fishing. Very well stocked and relaxing.

Wonderful Cozy Cabin big enough to have a lot of family dun

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful lake front home. The host is incredibly responsive and gracious. We were able to spend the Thanksgiving holiday here and have our family from the surrounding area come to spend time with us. There was ample space for children of all ages and adults to gather in community. If it were warm out we could have enjoyed time on the water.

Beautiful Lake Cabin

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful lake cabin. The cabin had everything our group needed for a hassle free relaxing weekend including a well stocked kitchen and a Kureg coffee bar was an added bonus! The owner also supplies a guide book to the cabin and the amenities which is very helpful and thorough which was very much appreciated. Highly recommend this property and hope to return to visit it again soon.

Great stay

Very accommodating house with everything you need for the kitchen and extra blankets, etc. Great communication with the hosts and detailed instructions for everything in the house and the dock. The dock is down a steep hill but doable in a car back and forth. We brought our boat, kept it at the dock and had a great time! Would definitely rent again.

One surprise after another “Breathtaking”

Our family loves nature, especially if we can be by a body of water. The lake is so clean. Visibility of about 15-25 feet. As soon as you open the door you feel like you are at home. The amenities and all the little extras made our stay even better. We are travelers so we have stayed at many Homes away from home. This is one of our favorites now. Everything was clean. The view was serene. The dock was perfect for boaters and we caught a lot of fish right from the dock. If you have a big family there is something for everyone to do. The pool table, card table, hot tub, tons of board games, and lots of lake fun there is no way your gonna get bored. The sounds of nature and it’s wildlife surrounding the property left us music lovers turning our speakers to mute quite often just to enjoy the beauty around us. Access to put boats in are very convenient. We brought kayaks, paddle boards, floats, and our fishing gear. I can’t even imagine how breathtaking this place will be in the fall. The hosts were quick to answer any call or text and didn’t mind answering our questions. If you love the outdoors this is your place. We had a blast!!!

Great views and comfortable home

We had a great stay at this property, it has a beautiful view of the lake and is a short trip to multiple marinas. The house itself has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Just be aware that the driveway is super steep and your tires will slip a bit going up, especially in the rain.

Very clean, lovely and comfortable. View from deck was wonderful. Bed was comfortable. Very quiet location. Good base to go in several directions. Yes the driveway is steep but that is common in this area. It is paved so not really a problem. Would stay again in a minute.

Great trip

We had our first trip to lake watuga and we will be back for sure. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. We had 8 adults and make sure whoever sleeps in the pullout sofa is a night owl or enjoys the morning sun- The wall to wall windows were fantastic providing excellent views of the lake. Lake access was great. There was plenty of water to swim and the water is clean and refreshing. You will get your cardio by climbing the 144 steps back to the house!! We rented a boat for a few days and the folks at mallard cove were fantastic to work with Overall- the cabin was great and we would recommend to others.

Beautiful cabin. Peaceful and remote area away from the hustle of everyday life. No cell service till you get down closer to Watauga Lake but enjoyed that aspect.
