What a beautiful place. Perfect for two couples or small family. Had everything we needed right down to firewood for the firepit. The lakefront location is so beautiful while relaxing on the front porch. Check in was a breeze place was ready to go. Highly recommend this for your future stay on Watauga Lake. Also great winery with great food and with entertainment Friday and Saturdays just 5 min away, Name is Villa Nove Vineyards in Butler TN. A must see.

The location was wonderful the cabin had a bad mold problem. And the surface of the floor looks swept but it was sticky. The washing machine, that I was counting on, was moldy and smelled horrible. The clean towels smelled of mildew. I assume they were washed in the machine there.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the location. We take any concerns regarding cleanliness very seriously and inspected the items mentioned after your stay. Our inspection did not identify mold in the washing machine. We did find a couple of black marks on the rubber door seal, which were cleaned, and we have reviewed our cleaning procedures for the machine. We also inspected the ceiling and found a couple of small spots that wiped away easily, with no indication of a mold issue. The towels provided for the stay had been freshly laundered and did not have a mildew odor when inspected. We’re always willing to investigate concerns brought to our attention and appreciate the opportunity to address anything that may need additional attention.

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.
