The property featured is a newly built 3,000 sq. ft. upscale rustic lodge. The lodge is located at the headwaters of the trophy trout section on the beautiful Watauga River. The lodge was built using mostly reclaimed wood from local tobacco barns. From the barn wood kitchen cabinets, to the tobacco flooring and siding, this lodge is truly unique. Even though the lodge was completed in 2015, it looks as though it has been there for a hundred years. From using a whiskey barrel to hold a faucetto rusty metal ceilings, this lodge is truly one of a kind. The lodge is equipped with all modern appliances and a fully equipped kitchen. Hand made barn wood cabinets and granite counter tops makes this kitchen an inviting place to cook and enjoy family time.

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 stone wood burning fireplace, an outdoor kitchen area, and teak furniture & rocking chairs – 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 lodge is fully equipped with linens and all household items. All you need to bring is personal items and food.

We have been planning this lodge for a long time & we hope you will enjoy it as much we do! We look forward to meeting you!

    The Cedar Cabin is so cozy and the hot tub is the perfect place to stay warm and enjoy the outdoors even in January. The hosts have always been helpful and quick to respond.

    We had such a wonderful time at the cabin! It was immaculately clean, well stocked, and a wonderful location right on the river. The host even had it decorated for Christmas since we were there during that time, which was a wonderful surprise. We are already talking about visiting during summer. Would definitely recommend to friends and family!

    We rented this cabin for a weekend to relax and attend a family wedding close by. This cabin was amazing. The picture do not even do the beautiful home justice. The detailing in this rental was impeccable inside and out. We walked in smiling and left elated. Ready to book our next stay.

    The cabin stay was wonderful for the whole family ( age range 8 to 72). The cabin is full of character, history and charm with all the modern conveniences. In spite of some pretty chilly weather the family enjoyed fishing, loved the hot tub and enjoyed the outdoor fireplace. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals . The Christmas decorations were lovely - a home away from home. I highly recommend the Cedar Cabin and we definitely hope to return. Thank you Patty and Gary!

    We stayed here with extended family for about a week, and it was even better than we expected. It was clean, spacious, and the decor/river views were stunning. The hosts were quickly responsive and wonderful. It’s even better than pictured!
