We loved this home and property! Such a beautiful spot on the Watauga River, and the house is designed for outdoor living. We especially loved the wraparound porch and the cabiny feel inside. The bedrooms were all comfortable, and each one has its own en-suite bathroom. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the dining table was large enough to comfortably seat a large family. We would definitely stay here again.

We love your log cabin by the river. We enjoyed the fireplace inside and the firepit outside every night. The location is perfect to get away from all the traffic to peace and quiet. I used the well-stocked kitchen every day to prepare brunch and dinner. The kids and grandkids loved it. Every year they choose a location and I choose the house. It is their Christmas gift from Mema and Papa Joe. We look forward to a return visit very soon!

We loved the space! We usually go on a fishing trip for Memorial Day weekend and we were worried about the rain that was coming in, but the fantastic porch made the rainy weekend feel like a perfect getaway! We had plenty of room for our family, and for very comfortable the whole time. Host was responsive when I had questions, and it felt like we were out in the middle of nowhere, but still had access to things like Instacart and food delivery! Truly beautiful spot, and we spent a ton of time on the porch!

We loved this house! It’s on a beautiful piece of property by the River. It was great for fly fishing or just sitting on the deck. We had 8 adults and found all the rooms to fit us comfortably. It had a huge dining table that was perfect for dinners and games. We also loved the wrap around porch. It was a great spot for coffee in the mornings. It made for a most enjoyable weekend!
