About this property
Mountain view cabin with access to a private dock on Watauga Lake
Create unforgettable memories with those you love spending time with.
Our cabin is perfect for outdoor adventures; swim, boat, or fish on Watauga Lake. Dock your boat at our private dock* on Watauga Lake which is located .2 miles down the hill from the cabin. Hike the Appalachian Trail or many of the trails in the area. Visit a local winery or grill & dine on our wrap around porch while overlooking the mountain range of the Appalachian Trail. Enjoy the fire pit and watch the sun set. Challenge each other to board games or relax in porch swings/rockers/hammock while stargazing the night sky. Come and enjoy the tranquility of Watauga Lake and create unforgettable memories.
The cabin layout: 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a large 3rd floor loft.
Main Floor: The open concept main floor has a family room with tv and gas fireplace, dining table for 8, and an upscale kitchen with a farmhouse sink, gas stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave/convection oven, trash compactor, wine chiller and a large island with seating for 4. It is well stocked with all of the necessary cookware, appliances and accessories needed to make your meals. The bedroom/bathroom en-suite located on the main floor is perfect for anyone who has trouble navigating stairs. It has a king bed with 6 drawer storage underneath, a desk and a tv. In the bathroom there is a dual vanity, a separate toilet room, a large walk in shower with dual shower heads, and a full size front load washer and dryer.
2nd Floor: The 2 secondary bedrooms are located on the second floor with a shared hall bathroom that has a shower/tub combo. Each bedroom has a queen bed, dresser and a desk.
3rd Floor: The third floor loft is a large hang out space with a tv, reclining sofa and chair, plus 2 queen daybeds with full size trundle beds plus board games and cards for your enjoyment.
We welcome dogs** (pet fee required) to join your family and enjoy the beauty of the area.
Relax and give yourself a break from it all while enjoying the beauty of the mountains and lake around us, yet only 30 miles to Boone, NC or Johnson City, TN if you need all of the comforts of home. Mountain City and Elizabethton are the closest small towns to Butler.
*The cabin is not located directly on the lake, our private dock is locate a short (.2 miles) downhill walk from the cabin with a stair case that leads to the dock from the road. The walk from the dock back to the cabin is a strenuous .2 mile walk back uphill. Cove water levels vary in the fall and winter due to the TVA lake draw down
**Due to owner allergies, only allow dogs on the property with a pet fee.

Why they chose this property
Owning a mountain home and a lake home has always been a dream to us. This is the best of both worlds, and the beauty of this mountain-lake is just breathtaking. In a time when the world was all stuck within the walls of their own home, we decided to purchase this beautiful cabin as a way to escape, explore, enjoy the beauty around us, and share it with others wanting to do the exact same thing! No matter the season, the views are stunning here, I promise you!
What makes this property unique
EXPLORING NEARBY:
Launch your personal watercraft in Watauga Lake at several public boat ramps and tie up to our private dock located in a nearby cove. (a stair case leads to the dock and there’s a strenuous .2 mile incline walk back to the house; water levels vary in the fall and winter due to the TVA lake draw down)
Boat Rentals: Lakeshore Marina or Fish Springs Marina (pontoon, outboards, kayak, paddle boards, jet skis and canoes—in season, rentals are in high demand so I recommend renting your boat as soon as you book your stay)
Fish Watauga Lake - rainbow and lake trout, black bass, crappie and walleye
Swim: Watauga Point Rec. Area or Shook Branch
Hike: Appalachian Trail or other nearby trails and waterfalls within 10 miles of the cabin (Laurel Falls, Coon Den Falls and Twisting Falls; + many others within an hours drive)
