Wonderful home and owner

We booked this home for a ski trip to Beech Mountain. We had 2 adults and group of teens ranging from 13-17. We all had more than enough room. The basement was Amazing for teen boys complete with a pool table. The drive to Beech Mtn was about an hour on windy roads but totally worth it! The owner Wendi went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable. Even though it was a winter rental we even got to kayak a bit. We would for sure rent this home again!

Kayaking the day away

We had a wonderful stay at the Lake House. Everything you could possibly need was provided. Plenty for kids and adults to do. The kayaks were amazing! Our last evening we paddled and saw a beautiful view of the sun setting. Having three teenagers (13-15) sit still for several minutes and just be in awe of the view in front of them was priceless! Wendi communicated very quickly when I had questions. We would definitely recommend!!

Wonderful Watauga Lake Getaway!

We have stayed at many VRBO properties, but this is by far one of the best. Location on a bay with beautiful views, private dock at the property and fully stocked house- these are just the start of what made our stay so nice. The house actually has even more than listed (kayaks, floaties, dog crate, pool table). And the owners were just as great; Left us a yummy blueberry pie (devoured by husband and dad) and easily accessible for our questions. This home is top of our list for our next Watauga Lake vacay. (Not a negative- but just something to be aware of; the driveway is steep and the road to the house is one car width. Again not a negative, as it's typical for the area- just a heads up when coming in.)

Lake Fun

We rented the the house for the second year in a row and enjoyed every day. Perfect for docking your boat and swimming in the private bay. We boated, paddle boarded, hiked, and enjoyed grilling on the deck and hanging out on the dock.

Lakeside Perfection!

We’ve taken our teens to Watauga Lake for a long weekend the past several summers. This was by far our favorite place! The hosts were wonderful; we were even met by chilled beverages and snacks! Our teens LOVED the cool basement with a pool table and their own area to hang out and watch movies! Everything was so well stocked..from the kitchen accessories to the floats! My son loved the jet ski dock! We had amazing weather; we parents enjoyed floating by the dock while our teens took out the boat that we rented from Fish Springs. Everything was so clean and comfortable! Wendi has truly thought of EVERYTHING to make this place a relaxing haven and a fun, family place! We even got our teens to enjoy the stash of board games with us! Boone is so close by that we let the teens drive there for dinner one night. I know our kids will beg us to book here again! Thanks for sharing your beautiful place with us!!!

Serenity

We had a wonderful time enjoying the beauty of the mountains and lake! We were close enough to Beech Mountain to get skiing in as well! The cabin had everything we needed complete with a floor for the teenage boys to play pool & watch TV. The hosts thought of everything we needed!! Beautiful place!

Hallmark Moments

We stayed during Christmas week. We felt as if we were part of a Hallmark movie. It could not have been more comforting, cozy and relaxing. Wendi our host was the nicest kindest host we have ever experienced. The house was exactly as described and communication’s were so easy. We would stay here again if coming through the area.

On the Lake.

We were so impressed with this property. The version online doesn't do it justice. The amenities had us spoiled - they were more varied than what we have at home. Definitely recommend this property.

One of the best cabins on Watauga Lake!

Our family had an amazing vacation on Watauga Lake! This cabin is beautiful, spacious, clean and provides more than what is listed! The owners thought of everything to make it feel like home and the dock and fun rafts/kayaks provided we’re awesome. My teenagers loved the home and having their own space. The owner was available and very communicative throughout our stay. She even quickly helped us find a walk-in medical clinic. We can not wait to return!! Thank you for everything!

Awesome

I could not recommend this place enough. Over the years I have rented many cabins but never one so well equipped with such a wonderful host that was genuinely concerned that we had everything we needed and were having a lovely time. Thank you Wendi, it was really appreciated. The location was fantastic we had a blast with the canoes and all the other staff that Wendi provided. The cabin was immaculate( and I am a very fussy person) beautifully decorated and WHAT A VIEW! All in all a perfect stay, will definitely be back if Wendi will have us.

Away from it all

We had a wonderful peaceful time at this get away from it all property! Wendi was great and it would laid out very nice with amazing views. Loved the getting away aspect and just being in nature. Supplies in kitchen were great and having the ability to hear nothing but nature noises was great. This is a great house and beds were very comfortable!

Great Family Vacation!

From the very beginning of the process Wendi was a great host. She did a great job of communicating about the details I need to know about the property and answering any questions that I had. The house was very well maintained, very clean and had everything we needed. We vacationed with our adult children and daughter-in-law. We came with our groceries, which I suggest, and stayed for the duration of the time. The kitchen was stocked with pots, pans and accessories for cooking and grilling the food items that we brought. Inside we enjoyed the pool table and much relaxing in upstairs and main floor den seating. Outside we enjoyed the kayaks. We also enjoyed dinner on the deck. We needed a restful vacation and this place was perfect. No need to have an exercise plan on this vacation because between kayaking and walking up and down the many steps, we got all the daily steps and upper body exercise we needed. It was everything that we had hoped for.

Family Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this home. We wanted to be able to enjoy the lake for Labor Day weekend and we celebrated birthdays while we were there. The owners welcomed me with a decorated, birthday theme. They went the extra mile to make sure our weekend was enjoyable. The boat/lake access was nice and easy to get to. They furnished floats/kayaks which was nice so that we did not have to bring our own. Chairs were provided at the dock. The view was great. We would stay here again.
