About this property

Log Cabin/Cottage on Watts Bar Lake

Come escape to Blue Heron Cabin located on Watts Bar lake with private boat slip included (Seasonal water levels May - October)! This custom log cabin offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms and accommodates up to 8 guests. The screened in porch overlooks the quiet cove, just steps away from Watts Bar Lake. The home is centrally located, about an hour away from Knoxville and Chattanooga, and on the doorstep of the Great Smoky Mountains. Trade the noise of the city for the peace and quiet of nature along with a sky full of stars at night.

Blue Heron Cabin offers both solace in nature and a gateway to 72 miles of fun on Watts Bar Lake. Entering the house, you’ll notice the charm of the rustic log cabin. Inside the kitchen and living room, accented by wood walls throughout the upper level. Head through the glass doors in the living room and you’ll be immersed in nature within the screened in porch, complete with patio furniture and an outdoor table. The master bedroom is located upstairs with a queen bed and private bathroom.

Downstairs provides plenty of space for more relaxing with a sofa/sleeper, recliner, and twin day bed with trundle. The downstairs bedroom also boasts queen size bed. There is also a full bathroom with a tub and shower.

Outside, you’ll find a fire pit, porch swing, and plenty of peace and quiet. A path leads from the back porch to the boat slip (water at pier from April 15 thru November 1st). The dock provides plenty of space for swimming and fishing. Two kayaks are provided for your enjoyment. Boats can be rented from nearby Marinas, or you can bring your own boat and park it at the private dock!.

Highly recommended exceptional location with amazing hosts

We stayed for five days at this wonderful place. It’s an easy walk down to the dock for fishing and kayaking, offering a quiet and private woodsy feel. The hosts were exceptional, and nearby, there are cute little towns and a charming, homey general store. We will definitely be coming back! The hosts were amazing and super accommodating. Highly recommend for any future visits.

2025 July 4th on the BAR!

Spacious and roomy. Nice outdoor seating both screened or not. The walk to the lake is not for the weak. Concrete steps make it safe but it is a hike down and back over multiple days- be prepared to awaken muscles if you have not maintained active later in life-LOL. Only downside in booking this property - I was not aware when renting a space that advertised for 8 people that I would be charged extra 320 for 4 nights if more than 4 persons were coming and or going and filling the house as advertised for 8. May have been my oversight but my opinion is that is a downside.

Quiet Lakeside Home

We truly enjoyed our stay. We were here to fish for a few days and wanted lake access with a covered boat dock with electric. The home was very welcoming and comfortable with all the comforts of home. Bed was very comfortable to sleep in and water pressure was great. There were inviting balconies and patios to enjoy the property but we spent most of our time in the water. The hosts were very quick to respond for any questions we had. Would definitely book again.

Our stay at this cabin was wonderful. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It was very clean fresh towels, fresh linens. Coffee on the porch in the morning was priceless. Owners were very responsive. I would definitely stay here again.Sitting outside on the dock was quiet and peaceful. You could hear nature all around you. The water was beautiful. The house was great, clean country and simple.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this cabin. It was clean and cozy for a getaway. I enjoyed sitting on the porch with my morning coffee while watching my grandson fish on your dock. It was a peaceful view. We all kayaked across the lake and back and felt very safe. The kitchen was nicely stocked and the beds were comfortable. The cabin was located near two marinas (Euchee and Blue Springs). The hosts were friendly, responsive, and made check in a breeze.

Cabin on a hill

Since it was just us two couples the house was great. We each took a floor of the home. Bathrooms and bedrooms are spacious. Being only a two bedroom home, this does limit more family or friends. Both beds are doubles so be prepared to get cozy. Suggest upgrade to Queens. They do allow pets so that is a bonus. We loved the country cottage in woods feel, which I wasnt sure I would. There is a screened in porch that was nice. Suggest larger cozier sectional outdoor furniture and ceiling fans. It was so peaceful. There are quite a few stairs maybe 40 or so to the dock. Helps to work off the comfort vacation food! We had cooler weather and had several fires in the firepit ring. We collected brush from the yard. Landscaping could use a once over for sure. There was a tree that must have fallen and took out half the dock roof that we didnt know about. We had rain and our boat was soaked. Need to disclose this so we can plan different type bags for the boat. We moved large trunk of tree out of water away from our boat. Again maintenance. We looked for a blender and a pitcher in the kitchen and didnt see them so pack that if you need it. Overall the house is good and in the perfect location in proximity of the lake and Euchee and Terrace View and Blue Springs. Host was great and accommodated us with last minute date changes. We enjoyed the week here.

Cabin Holiday Stay

The property is exactly as pictured. The water acce. There ate 2 dogs on a near by property that are litter mates and play but they are trained for an invisible fence and were no worry when we walked our dog past. I wish we could have enjoyed the outside more but were were there for Thanksgiving and the weather was cold. The cabin stays toasty warm. This shouldn't even be called a cabin, it was gorgeous!ss would be wonderful in warmer months.
