About this property

Still Waters Log Cabin Sits in a Mountain Lake Setting. Amazing Views!

Overlooking Watauga Lake near the borders of North Carolina and Tennessee the Still Waters Mountain Lake House is an amazing sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of city life. While nestled high up on the side of the mountain deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, Still Waters is still close to many activities and nearby towns to explore. The Appalachian trail winds through this scenic area. Boone, NC is only 30 Minutes away to the east; Johnson City, TN is only 35 minutes away to the west; Bristol, TN is just 45 minutes away to the northwest; and Asheville, NC is approximately 70 miles to the south. There are two winter Ski Mountains at nearby Beech Mountain, NC and Sugar Mountain, NC.

Perfect house for a large family gathering of all ages!

Enjoyed the cabin with very nice open family areas. Cabin was as described. Hot tub was great and the inside water pressure was great for being high on the mountain. View from the deck was beautiful!

Great stay

Really enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean and welcoming. We had ages ranging from 1 year to 65 and it was wonderful. Beautiful veiw. The only downside was the stairs to the dock are very steep with carring kids, floats or for older family members. But Overall we enjoyed our time and would stay again.

Wonderful Peaceful 4th of July

Every year we bring my 82 year old Mother n law to the mountains but in 2020 in the midst of a pandemic, my family was very excited about a vacation away from the crazy world around us. Spending a week at Still Waters was the perfect place to be. The view is spectacular and the house was well equipped to not have to go anywhere. Thanks for allowing us to spend time at this wonderful home! Harold

2nd Stay at Still Waters

This was our 2nd stay at this beautiful home. The views are amazing and the house has plenty of room for a large family or a couple families. We have pre-teens/teenagers and they love the game room - there's always lots of pool and ping-pong games when we aren't boating on the lake. The drive up to the house is a little steep and narrow, but fortunately we've never encountered another vehicle while going up/down.

Pretty View!

We enjoyed our stay overall. Living room is comfy and we enjoyed the fireplace and the view! Lots of beds and hot tub and pool table were a nice bonus! Driveway is very steep and we would have liked to have been warned about that with snow and ice in the forecast. Otherwise communication was great with owner. We had to cut our trip short so that we didn’t get stuck there. Nice house with everything you need!

Beautiful property with great view

Absolutely loved everything about our stay. The pictures don’t do it justice for how beautiful the cabin and the lake is. The amenities provided (pool table, ping pong table , jacuzzi, and a long list of other things) made the stay even better. I Highly recommend for any occasion . The hill is a steep drive up and a workout of a walk but only 1/4 mile, it’s fast and you get used to it. Not many stores around but that’s what makes it such a great getaway, but there are other cabins close by and a (very fun) shared lake dock. The lake is stunning and so is the view. Only suggestion is a king sized bed. 5 stars all around for a perfect vacation.

I had an excellent time with my family, the views were beautiful, we only had a problem with one of the rented cars that broke down and the rental car company took several days to pick it up, accidents happen but the property owner doesn't understand that and since I was there for several days because of the company, they charged me an unnecessary charge, and that is a mistreatment of the client

Lake Getaway

Beautiful house and view! If you prefer being right on the water this is not the house but the view and house itself are great! Terrific decks with lots of chairs, fire ring and hot tub with a view. Mattresses could stand updating. No cell signal at all but good WIFI. Very few stores, restaurants on this side of the lake so plan to drive or bring food in and cook. A bit inconvenient for kayaking and swimming. Overall very comfortable and well equipped

Tranquil

From start to finish the process went perfect. Received a lot of useful information from owner before trip. Property was beyond our expectations and very accommodating to all of our needs. Spent the last day listening to the birds and bees and looking at water and mountains. Can’t wait to come back. The only helpful info I can pass onto to future summer vacationers is to be aware of the room temperature changes on all floors. The bottom floor is extremely cold but is well stocked with blankets for comfort. Didn’t need coffee to wake up after a trip to the bathroom!

Still Water Trip

The lake, view and peace and quiet were great. Property was somewhat run down and musty, but generally big and nice look. Just disappointing for the price. Access to the dock was a bit confusing. Recommend bringing in everything you want to have there as far as groceries, and equipment because there is nothing close to pick up any forgotten items. There is a ping pong table and pool table which the kids enjoyed also. The lake was very nice, and peaceful. The owner was helpful with our questions when we got there, and open to explain the ins and outs. Overall we enjoyed it, just not thrilled about the overall experience for the price.

Great place for improvement

Great view but the property was not maintained, weeds and grass waist high overgrowing the pathway, trash can security inoperable and litter all over as we arrived.The dock advertised and depicted is no longer present, the downstairs set up was musty smelling and has no heat source other than it is tied into the main floor and whole houses solitary zone for 3 levels. Therefore any adjustment satisfies the main level thermostat only. The space was beautiful but it felt less than homey outside of the living room, things piece-mealed and thrown together to suit the bare minimum, especially the kitchen cookware and utensils. A lot of dead bugs littered on window sills, flooring and in the kitchen. The hot tub was filthy with debris. Many broken chairs discovered the hard way.Great grill, awesome view, cozy living room but desperately needs owner attention and accountability restored in the housekeeping & landscaping crew. Perhaps developing a way to heat/cool the segregate space effectively as well would make things more comfortable and tolerable for that matter. Additionally, some updated pics to accurately depict the quarters as well as amenities and their updated availability to the listing would be great.

Great Getaway

We spent a memorable thanksgiving overlooking the beautiful views that Stillwater’s had to offer. We were a group of 10 (adults and kids). The owner was great in communicating with us and gave us some really good suggestions for activities to do near and around. Our kids had a great time and loved being able to have their dog with them. The cabin was as described. It’s nestled in the woods and cell service is limited but WIFI was available. If you don’t have any experience driving in the mountains you may feel timid at first but will get the hang of it quick. There are a lot of reviews about the ladybugs and yes they were present but it’s a cabin surrounded by nature! They really aren’t an issue and it’s understanding why they are there. There are plenty of sites to see, activities to do and restaurants and markets about 15 miles away. Of course driving through the mountains takes some time so about a 35/40 minute car drive away. But you have some really wonderful views to enjoy along the drive. The drive alone to any location was an experience in itself for the adults and the kids. We went horseback riding in North Carolina and ATV riding in the mountains of Tennessee. All about the same distance from the cabin. Clear views of the stars at night. Peaceful and very relaxing. Thank you for sharing your property with us. We had a great experience.
