About this property
Rustic Basement Cottage on the Watauga River
Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. Bring your fishing gear, family, and friends for a quiet, relaxing stay on the Watauga River, home of some of the best trophy trout fishing in the world. New private dock just added!!
The space
Right on the Watauga River, home of some of the best trophy trout fishing in the world. Bring your own boat or fish from shore. A public ramp is a few minutes away. Close to the Cherokee Forest, Appalachian Trail, Johnson City, Elizabethton, and Bristol. Lots of good local eats, hikes, and scenery.
Guest access
Basement unit, entryway, lower level covered patio, the entire backyard that ends 30 ft out into the Watauga River. Room for guests to park a boat trailer or RV during their stay.
Other things to note
We do have an elderly arthritic shepherd, he mostly stays indoors. Note that if you bring a pet, the property is not fenced/enclosed.
