Watauga River Cottage in Johnson City, TN!

This cottage was amazing. We had the best time sitting around the fire pit by the river and kayaking up and down the river, also. The water was so clear, and it was a very nice place to stay. I highly recommend them, and we will definitely be planning to book there again when we are in the area. The stairs leading down to the river are very steep (as mentioned in the posting description), but other than that, it was great.

Loved the deck and the view! Owners were especially accommodating.

We were in town for the drag races. This property is very close to the event. It was very clean and cute inside. Lots of restaurants nearby. Just bring your own napkins and paper towels. Also, there’s a keurig in case you want to bring your own coffee.

We enjoyed the area and the host was helpful. We have stayed here twice but do to safety issue not being resolved we will not stay here again.

We enjoyed our time relaxing by the river and on the porch surrounding the house. The hot tub was an amazing way to end our days.

Property was so adorable! The house is very spacious, well stocked and adorably decorated. The river was a wonderful way to unwind from a busy graduation weekend.

Beautifully remodeled house overlooking a gorgeous scenic bend in the Watauga River--feels remote but is only five minutes from the Bristol Highway in north JC. A rustic modern feel inside, a great bed, and outside, beautiful deck with hot tub providing gorgeous river views. Bryan is attentive but not intrusive and responds to questions instantly.

Wow, what a fantastic place and location. We had everything we needed. Loved the hot tub and the kayaks. Bed was very comfy. Peaceful and relaxing stay. Near to our daughter college and have recommended the cottage to the families of other students. We will definitely be back again. Thanks to Bryan our host as nothing was to much trouble for our just.

Had a great stay. Awesome place right on the river. Great amenities.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay this past week. The host made us feel very welcome, everything from his responsiveness to the treats that were left for us.

We really enjoyed our week at the River house. Bryan could not have been a better host, there was nothing he would not do. The house has been tastefully restored and the location right on the river is ideal. Bryan has great plans for the area do I am sure it only gets better for future stays.

We had an epic Christmas this year on the bank of the river! We appreciate everything Bryan did to make this holiday so memorable in this wonderful property. Cool mountain mornings, hot coffee, wildlife, hot tub! Really doesn’t get any better! Thanks for everything! Highly recommended!
