Welcome to Garrett's Getaway! A rustic lakefront cabin on the beautiful Watauga Lake in Butler, Tennessee.

This cabin features a private dock, convenient lake access, game tables, a fire pit and more. With three levels of living space, each offering its own bedroom and bath, this retreat is designed for both comfort and privacy while keeping you close to the water's edge.

The cozy main level features a welcoming kitchen and living room, perfect for gathering after a day on thelake. The living room TV is equipped with Sling Blue services, so you can catch up on your favorite shows or enjoy a movie night. A queen bedroom is located on the main level, and a full bathroom is conveniently located in the hallway. Upstairs, the lofted bedroom includes its own bathroom, which also opens to the loft for additional flex space.

On the lower level, you'll find a fun entertainment room complete with a TV, a beautiful black walnut bar with an ice maker, foosball table, and pinball machine. This space opens directly to a patio, creating a great flow for indoor-outdoor relaxation. A full bath is in the hallway on this level for easy access.

Step outside to a stone path leading you down to the lake, where the peaceful setting of the Watauga surrounds you. You'll enjoy the private dock and boat slip just below the house. Right along the lake, is a firepit with two benches where you can roast s'mores next to the water and under the stars.

In the winter months, you'll be just 18 miles from Beech Mountain Ski Resort, making this the perfect year-round getaway for both lake lovers and snow seekers.
Whether you're gathering around the fireplace, playing games downstairs, or soaking in the natural beauty of the lakefront, Garrett's Getaway offers a true mountain-lake escape.

    Upon arriving we could not get ahold of the property management company, we had requested an early entry at noon so we ended up just driving there since I had the code anyways. We were the first to stay so I didn’t think it would be a problem. Well it was, upon multiple messages and emergency calls to “management”, we finally just hung out at the winery nearby to kill time meanwhile my food was sitting in the cooler. When we finally got a call back hours later we were told the code was activated. Well it wasn’t. So we called back with barely a cell signal and were given a different code to get the key out of the lockbox. Upon entering it was clear the views in the listing were disingenuous. House was clean. Dusty but clean. My son ended up having terrible allergies there, either from the dust or the bed linens. The beds are NOT queens. They are a full size which is a far cry from a queen, had I known that I would have swiped right on by this property. I slept on the pullout which was in the living room, not ideal. The pin ball machine needed quarters as well, might want to note that in your listing. It was so off putting to not be able to reach anyone. They didn’t leave many towels, or dish pods, although the kitchen was well stocked with things that were pleasant surprises. The fan hood on the stove also doesn’t work. The lake is quite arid that was a surprise but the boys still managed to have fun. Would not recommend this property and certainly not its management team!
