Magnolia Cabin is located at the headwaters of the trophy trout section on the beautiful Watauga River. Magnolia is a small 500 square feet private cabin equipped with modern appliances & granite counter tops. Relax on our back deck! A guest favorite…our back deck is the place to enjoy the great outdoors while watching the river go by. You might even see someone catching a fish! Featuring a sitting area and fire pit, this relaxed setting is the perfect place to unwind. This section of the Watauga River is a fisherman's paradise! You can walk off the large covered back porch down to a wadable river to fish, kayak, or watch wildlife. Located on a country road, you would think you are a long way from civilization, but travel four miles down the road and you can pick up anything you need. The cabin is fully equipped with linens and all household items. All you need to bring is personal items and food. We hope you will enjoy it as much we do! We look forward to meeting you!

    It seemed like the planning and preparing for this cabin was done by a genius! The shrubs and greenery just to the east along the river to the next cabin we had full privacy and sitting on the porch watching and listening to the river was wonderful. We appreciate the instruction sheets. It helped us know exactly what we were to do and we don’t have one complaint. Thank you so very much.

    The perfect place for a long weekend trip in East Tennessee. Magnolia Cabin is ideal for a couple and is dog friendly. The property is very peaceful and this cabin provides privacy from the main lodging area. Comfortable bed, well set up kitchen and the sound of the Wautaga River...a lovely stay.

    A10 out of 10 for me! I came down to fish for a couple days and the location is amazing.. right on the river. A cool / quaint one bedroom cabin. When I wasn't on a float trip I was able to walk down steps into the river and wade in to fish a variety of water from faster runs to deep pools. Tons of fish! It's a hot spot for guides when they come through. Nice comfortable back porch. Bed and pillows were comfortable... bathroom clean and shower had nice pressure. Kitchen had everything I needed and I did use it to cook. I will look to stay again next time I'm able to get down again.

    Best location for a riverside getaway. First off this cabin is adorable and has everything you could ever need. Then you have that porch that is perfect for drinking coffee in the morning listening to the water and watching the birds. My husband and son learned how to fly fish while we were there and it was the perfect location for it. Also it being pet friendly and having a huge field right off the side was perfect for our pup. We will definitely be back.

    We rented 3 of the cabins for our family - ages 8-adult. The weather was nice for all but 1 day, so we used the yard, picnic tables, grill for eating our meals and playing outdoor games (horseshoes, etc). The water was too cold for swimming but we had great bonfires at night by the firepit and walks around the area. Plenty of parking for all our cars. Since we were all related, no problem with privacy sharing the yard. The cabins were supplied with all we needed and heaters kept us warm at night.

I imagine if the guests in the big cabin were loud or rowdy it might be less so but that absolutely wasn't the case this past weekend. We are saving this listing for sure!

    The Magnolia cabin was the perfect size and location for us to stay while visiting with friends in the area. It had everything that was needed for a restful stay. The only issue we had was there seemed to be dog hair everywhere, but we also knew dogs were allowed on property. We found clean pillowcases to swap out the others, wiped off surfaces, and cleaned the pans and all was good. We would definitely stay again and have recommended to friends!

It was clean, the bed was comfy, it has everything you would need in the kitchen and the covered porch was the best for willing coffee and watching the ducks float down the river. We hope to visit this property again.soon.

    We enjoyed our stay at the magnolia cabin. The cabin was cleaned and stocked with towels and kitchen supplies. We brought our dog and the porch was enclosed so we weren’t concerned. Only negative that we had was- yes it was a cabin right on the river, but you had to access the water behind the main cabin. Which during our weekend that main cabin was filled with people so it was always crowded going down to the river so we only went down there once during our weekend trip.
