Cabin vacation rentals in Watauga Lake

Gorgeous view of grandfather mountain! The space was cute and tidy and the backyard space was by far the highlight! Loved the fire pit area and the lounge chairs where you could just lay under trees and watch the mountain. The bathroom was small for 2 people and the shower grout looked a little dirty. Other than that the stay was great and the location is awesome! We loved mountain dog coffee which is only ~5 minutes away!

This place was great. Wonderful views. Private and quiet. Non-stop hummingbirds visiting the feeder on the deck.

If I was someone on the fence about staying here, I would absolutely stay here! It was beautiful, very clean, well taken care of and very relaxing! It was the best way to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and we will certainly be back! The price was very reasonable for 2 nights in a beautiful relaxing cabin too! We were able to bring our puppy which made it even better! Firefly cabin is a must stay!

My wife and I, along with our daughter, her husband, and their 3 young boys had a very enjoyable stay. The children particularly liked the game barn. We all enjoyed the cool mountain air and the peaceful vibes while sitting on the outside swing along with making s'mores over the fire pit, and enjoying a relaxing soak in the hot tub. The view of Grandfather Mountain from the deck is amazing. Driving up to and down from the house was a bit challenging, with very steep climbs and hairpin switchback turns, but the view from the house at the top was well worth the drive. All things considered, we all had a very enjoyable stay and highly recommend staying here

We have been in multiple cabins all over the country now and Tucked Inn has been one of our favorites for sure. The place is peaceful, beautiful, well maintained and our dogs had a lot of fun exploring the area. The hot tub with the amazing views and the firepit were one of the best parts. We were a bit concerned about the drive up to the cabin, especially since it was raining when we arrived but it was not bad at all with our SUV. Just make sure you arrive before it gets too dark if it is your first time getting there. All that said, if you are thinking about booking this cabin reserve it without hesitation. It is gorgeous and our experience with Donnie & Whitney was 10/10. Highly recommended!

Our stay at the Yeehaw Lodge for an extended weekend getaway was amazing and the view of Grandfather Mountain from the cabin was absolutely stunning! The cabin was exactly as described and very well stocked. Liz's instructions were clear which made check in and check out a straightforward process. We look forward to booking a stay at the Yeehaw Lodge in the future.

Our family had the absolute best experience staying at Debbie’s incredible cabin this past weekend! We gathered to celebrate my father’s 70th birthday with kids and grandkids, and we truly could not have pulled off such a memorable and successful weekend without this amazing home. The cabin itself is breathtaking — spacious with three floors to spread out, a pool table that kept everyone entertained, tons of board games for family time, and a hot tub overlooking one of the most stunning mountain ranges we've ever seen. Being the very last house at the end of a mountain road made it feel incredibly private and peaceful — exactly the atmosphere we were hoping for. That kind of seclusion is rare and made all the difference. Everything in the house was in perfect working order — you can tell Debbie takes great care of the property. From start to finish, her communication was fantastic. She was responsive, thoughtful, and quick to take action on anything we needed. 1 MILLION STARS!!!!!!

We had a great time! Spent all day outside, enjoying all the fun amenities! There’s something to do for all ages! We will definitely be back. Thanks,Connie.

I stayed here for 5 nights and had an amazing time! The place was spotless and beautiful. I loved the quiet setting and screened in porch. Close to Grayson Highlands for hiking, also checked out Mount Jefferson and Paddy Mountain hiking areas- absolutely gorgeous. Popped into the Old Orchard Creek general store in Lansing and got a delicious scone & some gifts. There was an awesome craft fair on Saturday in Lansing also. Brunch at Oldhouse Goods/ Third Day Kitchen is highly recommended if you head into West Jefferson! Service is spotty in the area so download maps before you go. WiFi at the house is great, plus there’s a landline phone for emergencies which eased my mind. Overall loved my time here!

Cozy home with beautiful mountain views. We had a great stay at the Husky Hideaway! Thanks for allowing us into your home! We loved the front porch perfect place for breakfast (:

This is my family’s second year staying at John’s place, and our 6th year staying at a house along Elk Creek. We love this location outside of Boone, swimming in the stream, fishing, catching fireflies, relaxing and reconnecting as a family. We appreciate the spaciousness of John’s property and the long stream frontage, and the bonus hike up to the waterfall that gives one extra thing to do and a way to stretch our legs. The house plenty comfortable for our family of five. We definitely plan to return in the future!

Due to the floods last year the driveway looked rough at midnight when we arrived, but it was fine. There were activities in the cabin for littles, which we didn't need, but it would be great for families with littles for sure. The kitchen was supplied with pans for cooking, dishes and silverware for eating. There was a blanket for the dogs so they could sit and sleep with us like at home. The porch overlooks the river and the sound of the water was super relaxing.

Marilyn’s space was perfect for a weekend getaway. Compatible kitchen (note there is no full sized oven but this wasn’t an issue), comfortable furniture, and absolutely stunning surroundings. We spent nearly all day outside hiking, wandering the property, or simply sitting in the yard/eating in the gazebo. Would one thousand percent stay here again and would recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful stay! Marilyn was also available for any needs we had and was respectful of privacy at the same time. Couldn’t be happier!

Super clean, great location, very peaceful! Such a beautiful place to stay if you are looking to get away from. Situated great for hiking and exploring local towns. Lance was very friendly, tagged along everywhere with us and was very interested in the dogs!

Great host! Jared was responsive prior, during and after our stay. Everything was so cozy and comfortable and had everything we needed or expected. The fireplace was an added bonus and the view on the balcony was a great place to sit and have coffee in the morning. We felt secluded and peaceful and would love to stay there again!

Christie and Donaven were super responsive and accommodating - they also checked in to see if we needed anything during our stay. We loved the space! Cute and cozy. The bedroom area was quiet and dark at night. We also appreciated that the kitchen had everything we needed to make some meals. We hope to visit again soon!

Beautiful cabin! Our family loved the wrap around porch with stunning views, perfect with a morning cup of coffee! The house was the perfect size and the third floor loft was awesome. Laura was very communicative and we appreciated the clear instructions for check in. The private dock and easy water access was an added bonus! 10/10 would definitely be back!

We had the best time, taking in all things: the goats, the view, amazing sunrises, the lovely porch, hiking on property, the peace and tranquility. We had everything we needed inside. My kids loved the upstairs - each having their own space but still together. I can only hope and pray to be back again someday!

The place is absolutely gorgeous and had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked with spices, utensils, and everything we needed to cook. The location is peaceful and there's ample room in the living space. Can't wait to stay again.

Eagles peak was a comfortable place to stay near the Sugar Hollow wedding that we came to attend. The living room was great, kitchen was full of pans, etc with coffee maker, ice maker, lots of storage. We appreciated the basket of cooking spices. Several of our party enjoyed the hot tub and the extensive deck was great! Lots of places to sit - sun, shade, rocking chair, picnic table. We saw a doe and baby deer from the deck, lots of birds on the wire and flitting around the bushes. A couple people went to the nearby winery and mercantile, they were able to pick up a few necessities there without driving far. We had dinner in Boone one evening, not too far, (the other dinners were at the wedding venue). Julie was quick to respond to questions and had excellent suggestions of places to visit and eat. It was a wonderful family gathering.

What a delightful gem located a short distance away from West Jefferson. Peaceful, pastoral, private setting. Gravel road and parking, but easy to access. Maritza’s Cabin is new and has all the things we needed for a short stay in the mountains. Stove, oven, refrigerator, sink, small coffee, pot, glasses, dishware, etc. For those that count on microwaves, there was not one. It was not a problem for us. Downstairs bed, all towels and linens were good. We had issues with Wi-Fi, but really didn’t need it for a night. Great cell service there. Maritza was very responsive and I would recommend this cabin if you are in the area or thinking about heading that way! When we asked if we could buy some eggs from Maritza, she happily had a few delivered to our front porch for free . Loft sleeping area is a steep ladder and low ceiling, as clearly pictured in the description. Probably best for children or very agile people.

The house was comfortable, quiet, and in an absolutely beautiful spot on the lake. It was easy to find and offered peace and tranquility for a family vacation. It is in a somewhat remote location (which is what we were looking for!) so be prepared to drive and take daytrips to other activities of you don't plan to stay on the property for your entire stay. Janelle offers plenty of suggestions on local places to visit. Definitely recommend this lake house for a water front, relaxing vacation with your people.

This place is so lovely. We had everything we needed and felt right at home. The location is perfect for Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock and even Boone. The view was gorgeous! I'd love to come back in Autumn to see the changing leaves. Sarah was an excellent host; very responsive when we had trouble with the door code. You can tell this place is well loved and very clean! The bed was sooo comfy. Not often do you see a king bed in Airbnbs, so that was a huge plus for me. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a peaceful getaway that feels like home! We'll definitely be back some day.

We really loved our stay at the Wood Shop. The area was quiet and the accommodations were one of a kind. This isn’t a “cookie cutter” kind of place. The creativity and detail work in this place makes it a unique experience while at the same time it was cozy and comfortable. We would book again if we head that way again. Boone in general is so beautiful and there are so many places to get outside and enjoy the beauty as well as a ton of great places to eat.
