Relax and experience the beauty of Eastern Tennessee in our spacious (2100 sqft) and comfortable home away from home. Settle in to one of our three private bedrooms, then head to the fully-appointed kitchen to grab a snack or fire up the grill to enjoy the lake and mountain views while you prepare a meal. Enjoy floor-to-ceiling windows in our living room and game room for that mountain view from the indoors.
For the rest of your stay you can enjoy fireside chats, fishing and swimming in famous Lake Watauga from our private double deck boat dock with room for your boat, jet ski or kayak relax in the hot tub, or play pool and/or cards in our game room. With so many options, there's sure to be something fun for all ages and interests.
For more exploring, our cabin is centrally located just a short drive from many tourist attractions. Visit one of several marinas located on Lake Watauga to rent boats, kayaks, jet-skis, and other water-sport equipment. Or, bring your own boat and launch it at the closest marina (approximately 5 minutes from our cabin).
Plan a hike to nearby waterfalls, or Grandfather Mountain. Head about 30 miles east to Boone, NC and visit the Tweetsie Railroad and wander the beautiful campus at Appalachian State University.
Plan a visit to Bristol Motor Speedway, or head west about 20 miles to visit one of the nations oldest covered bridges in Elizabethton, TN. If you're visiting on a Friday or Saturday night, Elizabethton also has a drive-in theater that plays current films. Wander the antique shops, or enjoy a classic Eastern Tennessee meal in Johnson City. So much adventure and relaxation to be enjoyed, you're sure to want to visit again!

    Host was wonderful and had great communication!! House was beautiful and pictures do not do it justice! Two families and a total of 8 of us, there was plenty of space and the pool table was a huge hit, and the views from the living room and porch were breathtaking, felt very secluded and private. Saw deer the entire time we were there. Plenty of kitchen utensils to cook meals. We would definitely stay again, none of us wanted to leave!

    We really enjoyed the billiards table; all 6 of us spent a lot of time sharpening our skills at it.Also, loved the beautifully wood crafted Jack Daniels card table/barrel! We all played various rounds of card games on it. The other area we enjoyed about this lofty scenic chalet, was its front lanai overlooking the lake!And just around the corner from it we enjoyed using their gas/charcoal grill! Just a little further down from the grill was the outdoor fish carved metal barrel for bon fires which we enjoyed each night we there!Absolutely marvelous arrangement of indoor and outdoor amenities for those kind of activities!Of course, the one area that we’d like to enjoy on our next visit, will be the use of their boat dock several steps below this Mystical Majestic Loft!

    It was so clean and felt so homey. The porch views were incredible. Would love to come back in the summer so we can enjoy the amazing view of the stars. Check in was as easy as it gets.

    Our stay was absolutely incredible! The cabin was spotless, beautifully furnished, and had everything we could possibly need. The large windows and stunning lake views made every morning feel like a postcard. The location was peaceful and private, yet still close to the water and outdoor activities. The host was responsive, friendly, and made the whole process effortless. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway — we will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to everyone!

    Great place to stay and the host was very responsive to all questions we had. Great view of the lake from the balcony, were even able to see a bear down below. Definitely is a difficult walk to the boat dock, but can drive down to it. Would definitely stay again.

    We had a wonderful time in this beautiful lake front home. The host is incredibly responsive and gracious. We were able to spend the Thanksgiving holiday here and have our family from the surrounding area come to spend time with us. There was ample space for children of all ages and adults to gather in community. If it were warm out we could have enjoyed time on the water.

    We had a great stay at this property, it has a beautiful view of the lake and is a short trip to multiple marinas. The house itself has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Just be aware that the driveway is super steep and your tires will slip a bit going up, especially in the rain.

    Very clean, lovely and comfortable. View from deck was wonderful. Bed was comfortable. Very quiet location. Good base to go in several directions. Yes the driveway is steep but that is common in this area. It is paved so not really a problem. Would stay again in a minute.

    We had our first trip to lake watuga and we will be back for sure. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. We had 8 adults and make sure whoever sleeps in the pullout sofa is a night owl or enjoys the morning sun- The wall to wall windows were fantastic providing excellent views of the lake. Lake access was great. There was plenty of water to swim and the water is clean and refreshing. You will get your cardio by climbing the 144 steps back to the house!! We rented a boat for a few days and the folks at mallard cove were fantastic to work with Overall- the cabin was great and we would recommend to others.

    This is our second visit to the property and we enjoyed just as much as our first visit. The cabin is very clean and we took full advantage of all the amenities that were offered including swimming off the dock to playing cards and pool in the game room. The owners are always very responsive and we look forward to staying here again soon!

    Beautiful cabin. Peaceful and remote area away from the hustle of everyday life. No cell service till you get down closer to Watauga Lake but enjoyed that aspect. WiFi was wonderful and thoroughly enjoyed our time in this cabin. Everything you need was provide to cook and enjoy the comforts away from home:) Great communication with Host…

    The house is absolutely beautiful and the hosts were always available when needed. The drive to the actual hosue once you enter the gate is steep and the dock is a bit of a short walk. The place was clean and nice. Great place overall.
