Wonderful stay in every way! The cabin was situated in a peaceful place on Lake Watauga, and the red canoe worked great for a pleasant time on the lake. The water temperature was perfect for swimming. The comfortable cabin had everything needed to make the stay a happy one.

We were very satisfied with how clean the cabin was on check in. The kitchen was equipped with what we needed to cook our meals. Enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck gazing over the misty lake. Only downside was we didnt catch any fish.

Little piece of heaven

The views were gorgeous. The place was clean and very quaint. The picnic table on the deck was awesome so we could have our meals while looking at the lake and mountains. We will definitely stay here again.

Amazing time with my son and grandson. Colby was very helpful and went above and beyond to make the stay enjoyable. He was very responsive and quick to answer all my questions. Thank you sir! The cabin was clean and the beds-furniture were comfortable. The porch was spacious and the view was spectacular. We also enjoyed the new grill. The dock was new, large and we enjoyed the fishing and floating. Overall I couldn’t be happier. Again. I will definitely be back.

Wedding weekend hideaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We were attending a wedding in Butler and found this to be the perfect place to stay - close to the venue and then perfect for a relaxing day afterwards. We enjoyed the canoes and the lake and the fire pit! We were close enough to others who attended the wedding to socialize but also grateful for our space to "chill". Highly recommend staying here!

Fishing vacation

The property was very clean and neat. This was the second time that we have rented this property and we would definitely recommend it to anyone that would like to get away for a week or weekend. Thanks for having us for the weekend we really needed a little rest and relaxation.

Wonderful Accomodations

We were very impressed with the cleanliness first and foremost. The setting is beautiful and we were able to bring our boat over from Mallard Cove Marina and dock it right there. Jennifer communicated with us and she was very timely and efficient. Our little dog enjoyed hanging on the porch! We hope to stay there again soon!!

Peaceful

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lakeside Paradise! The cabin was immaculate, nicely furnished--with comfortable beds and an adequately supplied kitchen. The area is completely quiet, the lake is wonderful and the dock is exactly what we needed! The only problem with our trip---it just was not long enough!!

Fun fishing spot!

Lake was easy to access (not a lot of steps). Quiet and beautiful area. My hubby caught fish, including 2 large flathead catfish...from the pier. The porch looking over the lake was nice for relaxing or eating a meal on the picnic table.

cozy getaway right on the water

Very nice cabin and right on the water with gentle slope to water access. Only a few stairs to living area of cabin so it was easy to access for my wife who had a walking issue at the time of our trip. Nice dock and we watched some fishermen pull in one trout after another while having coffee the next morning on our deck. We got rained out during our trip so we were not able to take advantage of all the water activities we had planned but you cannot control the weather. We had some questions and one issue while at the cabin and management was very responsive. We will return and highly recommend this cabin for a getaway on the water..

Wonderful fall mini vacation

Everything was a positive experience renting this cabin. The Manager Jennifer was very good at communicating, the house keeper Rose had the house clean and ready to enjoy! The beds were so comfortable! Kitchen and bathroom was stocked with plenty of items that were needed. We had a excellent stay! The weather was cold, but we were very cozy inside. The only thing that could be done, is trim the cypress trees and trees by the road, to let one's pulling out, be able to see on coming traffic coming? But that's the only thing that could possibly be done...Everything else was perfect!

The house was very clean and organized and the appliances all worked very well and seemed fairly new. The wifi in the house was excellent which was good because there isn't any cell service in the area. The location is a little "out of the way"; you have to drive approximately 30 miles to get to a reasonable grocery store. I was a little disappointed in the canoes and kayaks. They were all in fairly sad shape (dirty, damaged) and had grass clippings stuck to them.
