Nice and quiet little getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Beautiful views of the Tennessee mountains from their front porch. Place was very clean and cozy. One of the more affordable places in the area as well. Host was very attentive and kind.

Quiet Seclusion and Privacy

If remote with views is what you seek this place meets all of that! Very beautiful area. Winery in view. The property is near the top of the mountain and takes quite some time to get provisions, just be prepared and no problems. The property was true to the descriptions and the owner interactions easy.

Watauga Dream

The property was exactly as listed but much more comfortable than imagined. We come to the area every year but will be returning to this property. Our kids from 5 to 16 couldn't have had more fun with the fires, deer sightings and game room. My husband wishes it was on the real estate market LOL

Home away from home!

Beautiful home, everything was exceptionally clean and neat. Comfortable everything! We enjoyed visiting with the neighbors across the road and their animals, and of course the views are incredible. Grill was clean and ready to go-loved having that option! We also enjoyed the game room-so much fun playing pool! It is a hike to this house, but the peacefulness is absolutely worth it. Plan accordingly, and take a pic of the check in details before you get there-service is a little iffy. It’s the reason I met the neighbors! Thanks so much, Teresa, and family for sharing Katherine’s lovely place with us!
