Escape to our tiny-home cabin in the Appalachian Mountains near Watauga Lake and the Appalachian Trail, perfectly timed for lake season, hiking, fishing, and outdoor concerts. This cozy 500 ft² retreat sleeps up to 4 with a queen bed and queen sleeper sofa and offers easy access to marinas, boat rentals, wineries, and Bristol Motor Speedway’s spring and summer race events. Hosted by WataugaLakeVacations, Twisted Vines Cabin is a relaxing summer escape—and it’s pet friendly.

Escape the city lights in our Appalachian tiny-house. On the main level, there is a full kitchen, dining area, living area, and outdoor deck complete with grill, bistro dining set and outdoor seating. For connectivity and entertainment, we offer free high-speed WiFi, a 43 4K HDR Roku TV. As cell service is limited in this remote area, WiFi calling must be enabled to make phone calls. Downstairs has a magnificent queen bed made from beautiful, local hardwood, a full bathroom with shower, small sitting area and laundry room. Watauga Lake, the Appalachian Trail, and ski resorts are all within minutes.

You have access to the entire cabin. There is very little yard space; however, there is ample deck space. Paved parking allows for two vehicles.

This area is quite remote; however, the cabin is on a major road for the area (it is only a two lane highway) and is very easy to get find.

Watauga Lake, one of the cleanest lakes in the country, offers great places for boating, swimming, water sports, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding. Boat rentals are just seven minutes away and the Little Milligan boat ramp is five minutes away.

The Appalachian Trail is 11 minutes away, and many hiking trails such as Laurel Falls, Blue Hole Falls, Pond Mountain, and Lacy Trap Ridge are close by.

Additional recommendations for local places are in our guidebook.

This cabin is located on a well traveled two lane road. During the winter, it is plowed first and up kept regularly. There is ample parking just off the road for 2 vehicles or vehicle with a trailer. Pull in and pull out is easy and no backing up is required.

There is a Dollar General within four minutes and a variety of grocery stores 18 to 25 minutes away. We recommend you get groceries prior to arrival.

WiFi calling must be enabled to make phone calls from the cabin - cell service is limited in the area.

This cabin is located in the Cherokee National Forest. One of the benefits is you will possibly get to see wildlife! We have seen bear, deer, turkeys, etc. Conversely, you may see wildlife! Since it is in a remote area, be aware that this is a possibility and should be expected.

A baby crib, Graco Pack-N-Play, is available in the laundry room.

    We absolutely LOVED Twisted Vines Cabin! We happened to be visiting Butler, TN during the winter storm that just occurred, so our visit was cut a little short, but the cabin was just perfect! Cozy and comfortable, and extremely clean! It is a perfect getaway spot, and we hope to visit again when we can experience better weather!

    We absolutely loved this cabin! There was plenty of space for three adults and our two large dogs, which made the stay very comfortable. The hosts were wonderful—responsive, helpful, and quick to answer any questions we had. If you’re looking for a relaxing, authentic cabin experience, this is the perfect place. We’re already looking forward to returning!

    I'm a contractor. I stayed here for a almost a week. I couldn't have been more impressed with the overall value. It's a lot bigger than you think it will be inside. It has everything you need. It's like someone lived there for 10 years, upgraded everything meticulously, had every cabinet filled with essentials and even some nice extras, then moved out all the sudden. Book it and Enjoy.

    Nice cabin with everything we needed. It's right off the highway with no real yard space, but that was perfect for us because we used it as our home base for the area. The host was responsive to any questions that we had and checked to make sure we had everything we needed.

    Home was immaculately clean. Unfortunately they are not mindful of the moldy bedroom and shower area downstairs. If you are at all sensitive to mold steer clear. It smells bad down there. Husband and I arrived late with no other options so we slept upstairs on the couch and makeshift bed on the floor. They need a better dehumidifier - get rid of any carpeting - redo the tiny shower area. Also surprised it was right off a major road. - The good part was the well stocked kitchen and nice updated appliances. No dust. It was definitely clean. It just has mold issues that need to addressed. (The towels Stink bad of mold in the bathroom too.) Too bad because there was a nice big bed downstairs.

    It was an amazing little getaway and we were quite surprised at the layout of the rooms. What I expected was to turn the corner and find a little room to sleep in. Instead i was greeted to a staircase that led to a huge bedroom. It was an enjoyable weekend and look forward to staying again in the future!

    Very quiet place to relax and unwind. We had everything we needed. The cabin is nice and clean. Bathroom is very small, needs to be enlarged. Hosts are very friendly. Some of the area is still under clean up from the flood. I would recommend this cabin

    We stayed here during the NASCAR race in Bristol and loved the location, the peacefulness and the communication with the owners. They made the check in process so simple and easy and thought of everything we would need during our stay. Very clean!

    The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The hosts were wonderful and communicative. Everything we needed was there and it was super convenient to the lake. The bathroom and bedroom are downstairs, so be aware of that if you have any physical conditions that would make it a problem. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely stay again when in the area.
