From there you can boat or fish to your hearts content from daylight to dark if you choose.

Stay at Watuga

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Wonderful location and private. Was able to park out boat/trailer and felt very safe to leave it as we ventured out. The host was very accommodating and returned our call/messages quickly. I would mention the phone service is poor and the road leading down to the house was rough.

Peaceful

It was so peaceful and homey. I didn’t want to leave. Seeing the moon reflecting on the lake was beautiful. The cabin was clean and cozy. Would definitely recommend staying at this cabin. Plus there is fish in the lake. Not all lakes actually have fish.

Cute, comfortable cabin for two.

My wife and I celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in this comfy little cabin on Watauga lake. The hot tub was fully functional and clean as described. The bed was super comfortable. Cabin had everything we needed and nothing we didn’t. The area was very peaceful. A couple very nice wineries are minutes away. Would come back to this place again!

Peaceful cabin on a lake

We had a wonderful stay. The host is one of the good ones...you'll find all the little extras - soaps, lotion, shampoo, cleaning products, basic spices, a first aid kit, and laundry detergent - all the things that come in handy for travelers! The linens all looked brand new and the mattress was very comfortable. We enjoyed using the kayaks and were happy to find life vests available. The a/c was perfect and the wifi signal strong. It was a perfect weekend for my husband, pup, and I.

Relaxing get away!

This was just what my husband and I needed. It was a perfect place to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. If you're looking for somewhere to enjoy the water, boat, kayak, or swim and relax in the evening this is the perfect place. One thing I suggest if you don't want to go back out, stop on your way in to get groceries, the closest town with a grocery store is Mountain City about a 20 min drive. It's a beautiful drive though. :)

Relaxing stay!

We stayed for a week and really enjoyed the tranquility at the cabin. We boated for several days on the lake (rented Brenda’s pontoon). Was able to fish right off the dock and loved the lower deck where we sat in the afternoons and enjoyed a cocktail. Cabin was very clean and we plan to stay at their other cabin next year!

The perfect quiet getaway

We had such a lovely stay here and can’t wait to come back again! The location is perfectly secluded in nature and the easy walk down to the dock allowed us to enjoy the lake to the fullest. The small cabin had everything you could need for cooking in and relaxing comfortably. Thank you to our hosts who who had excellent communication and recommendations.

Romantic getaway

My partner and I shared a 3-night, romantic getaway over New Year’s Eve at the lake cabin. Accommodations were perfect, and we really enjoyed star gazing while soaking in the hot tub. Great view of the lake, and good opportunities for hiking nearby.

Lake Heaven

This is a "tiny house"--absolutely perfect for a couple, with a rare and wonderful access to Watauga Lake and a lower deck right over the water where we spent most of our time. Everything you need is provided, including a great hot tub, which I had forgotten all about until we got there. It, too, overlooks the lake. Another couple joined us twice just for the day, as they live not far from the cabin, and the four of us chilled out. If you like wine, the wines at Watauga Lake Winery and Villa Nove Vineyards are really surprisingly good, and the view at the vineyard is outstanding. We were fortunate to have nearly perfect weather. While swimming, we were startled by inquisitive minnows! We have a smaller SUV and were able to turn it around in the driveway, so as to avoid backing out. A larger car wouldn't be able to do that. Our friends parked up by the road. The coffee pot uses ground coffee, not pods, so be sure to bring it if you drink coffee. Loved our stay.

A great renting experience.

This property is a neat little gem on the lake and the owner was very helpful and responsive throughout the whole experience. It is a very nicely laid out small cabin with a great view of the lake. The family really enjoyed the use of the kayaks, jacuzzi and the ability to fish off of the dock. If you are in to cat fishing you are nearly guaranteed to pull in a big one off that dock but bring a strong pole with a strong line. They are big ones. Brenda was very helpful throughout the rental process and the instructions she gave for everything at the cabin were perfect. The family loved the place and if we end of back in the area would definitely rent again.

Peaceful getaway

This tiny cabin was perfect for two. Everything was very clean and the amenities were so nice. The furniture was comfortable and we had everything needed to enjoy a long weekend. The only downside was the shower. My partner is 6'8" so the small shower was a bit of a challenge for him, but we saw it in the pictures and knew it was going to be a risk. Everything else was so well thought out. Thanks so much for allowing us to stay here!

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Glasgow

We are Tim & Brenda Glasgow. We have lived in the area for most of our lives. We own and operate the local Heating & Air Company, Mountain Air Inc., we have been in business since 1995. We have several rental properties on and near Watauga Lake.

Why they chose this property

This property is very secluded, it is hidden and shaded by many beautiful trees. You can sit on the deck enjoy the view while you eat your breakfast every morning and in the evening sit in the hot tub naked as a Jay-Bird if that is your wish no one will see you!

What makes this property unique

I love this property because it so well hidden from the view of neighbors as well as the lake traffic. You can sit out on the deck in the hot tub and enjoy the peaceful wooded privacy and a view of the beautiful Watauga Lake or jump in the Kayak and go for an evening row.
