Watauga River Cabins-Hemlock

The Hemlock Cabin is part of our 'rustic lodge'. Our lodge is located on the banks of the beautiful Watauga River, halfway between Johnson City and Elizabethton. The lodge was designed to resemble a horse barn and sits on 5 acres with over 600 feet of river frontage and consists of 3 cabins.

The downstairs Hemlock cabin has over 900 square feet of living space. The cabin has a queen bed, 2 super twin beds which can be made into a King bed, cat napper sofa, two full baths, along with a full kitchen and living area. The Hemlock cabin can accommodate four comfortably.

All linens are included -- all you have to do is pick up some food and bring your personal items -- all other items will be provided for you! The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, cookware, toaster, coffee maker and microwave.

The cabin has heat/air conditioning, ceiling fan, flat screen satellite TV, DVD/VCR, gas fireplace, central laundry facility and gas & charcoal grills.

There is also a full hook-up RV pad with 50 amp service, located on the river. (extra cost) The RV lot has a private deck that overlooks the river.

Very convenient to both Johnson City and Elizabethton (10 minutes) as well as Roan Mountain, Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain and Hawksnest ski resorts (45-60 minutes). Immediately adjacent to the lodge is the Watauga River which is about 100 feet wide and is home to some of the finest Trout fishing in the Eastern United States. Trout species in the Watauga River are Rainbow, Brook and Brown as well as several types of Bass and various non-game species. This lower part of the Watauga has been designated as the 'Quality Trout Zone.'

We have other cabins available please call for dates and prices.

Home Away from Home
We visit the area 2-3 times each year. We never stay anywhere but Wautauga River Cabins unless they are booked when we need them. All the comforts of home, without the stresses of home. And the river right outside your door!

This property on the river is beautiful! We enjoyed the fire pit and tons of wildlife. Deer or turkey were out in the fields almost every morning. The property was clean and had everything we needed for our week long stay. We'll be back again!

Great home base
My husband and I came to this area for the Nascar races in Bristol and stayed at Watauga Cabins for several nights. We had all of the comforts of home in a nice setting on the river. Quiet and cozy. We loved hiking the Laurel Fork Trail while in the area. Thanks for sharing this space with us.

My daughter and I came for a daddy/daughter fishing trip. Everything was wonderful, from the view to the cabins to the day trip fishing. We intend to do this trip again!

Complete tranquility
We stumbled upon the Watauga River Cabins in a last minute search over Christmas. The description fit reality! This place is very rustic but also spotless and well appointed. They even had a Christmas tree, which was a very nice and welcomed touch. We kept saying it would be a wonderful place to go as a large group. Hats off to this heavenly location! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!

Family Christmas
Wonderful location and great cabins. Had a great time with all the family and the Christmas trees were absolutely beautiful. Can’t wait to come back in the different seasons. Had family come from GA, SC, OH, and PA so it was a great spot for all of us. Thank you so much.
