Elizabethton, TN offers the best of multiple worlds at your finger tips. Enjoy the small town feel with hometown shops, local restraunts and much more in our historic downtown.

It is a fisherman's dream with the well-known Watauga River, trophy trout fishing at your front door and the Watauga Lake, a "Bill Dance Signature Lake, which also offers boating and swimming on its peaceful waters within 15 minutes. Boone Lake, South Holston Lake and River are also just a short drive away. This area also provides many access points to the Appalachian Trail within a short drive as well as many other hiking trails to lookouts, waterfalls and nature hotspot. Ski Resorts in Beech Mountain, NC and Sugar Mountain, NC are less than 40 miles away. The iconic Bristol Motor Speedway is just 17 minutes from our driveway. Some of our personal favorite short drive day trips are to Blowing Rock, NC (52 miles), Boone, NC (47 miles), Banner Elk, NC (33 miles), Grandfather Mountain (29 miles), Linn Cove Viaduct (41 miles), and The Blue Ridge Parkway (@ 40 milles). There are also shopping options in downtown Bristol (State Street divides TN and VA), The Pinnacle Shops (20 miles), and Johnson City (8 miles). Walk, run or bike the Tweetsie Trail which connects Elizabethton to Johnson City by beautiful trail.

This place is beautiful, very well maintained, clean, and has everything you need for your stay. The owner is extremely friendly. Having the river as your back yard is picturesque. Had a fire in the pit and even did a bit of fishing. We will be back.

Super Clean and Comfortable

This property looks brand new. It was extraordinarily clean and very well stocked with everything you could possibly need - including firewood and fishing rods! We had four adults in our party and the place was very comfortable. One thing to note, the bed in the primary bedroom is VERY tall and may be a challenge for anyone with a physical disability. That said, there are two twin beds in the other bedroom that are normal height.

Relaxing

This cabin is beautiful and very comfortable: the attention to detail is above and beyond my expectations. Other cabins we have stayed at had bare minimum in amenities, Mark and Stephanie thought of everything! If you forgot something, they have you covered! Very clean and comfy. We really enjoyed the River in the morning and ended our day just relaxing until dark. Quiet and peaceful, best night sleep! Tons to do! I suggest Watauga Winery, it’s beautiful. We didn’t want to leave! Love Elizabethton, this will be where we retire to!
