3BD/2.5BA Tennessee Mountain Trout Lodge by Watauga Lake & River

My family and I decided to spend New Year’s in Tennessee at the last minute, and finding Brian’s cabin felt like a blessing. From the moment we arrived, we were amazed — the pictures truly don’t do it justice. The cabin is stunning, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. Every detail made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Brian was extremely responsive and kind, making sure we had everything we needed. We had such a wonderful experience and can’t wait to return. Thank you so much, Brian!

Very nice property, clean and quiet

Loved this cabin so comfortable!! Our family of 5 adults & 2 babies, had plenty of room Our dog was also very welcome. Nice open floor plan. Amazing VIEW of the mountains Great location adorable little town and walking distance to the river.

What a beautiful home! My sister and I loved staying here with my dog. The kitchen was well-equipped and the home was incredibly nice and clean in peaceful surroundings. Saved this to stay again in the future!

Amazing place! Only 30 minute drive to Bristol Motor Speedway!

We had such a good long weekend at this cabin. It was a great place to disconnect and relax. The views of the mountains were amazing, and it's so quiet around. The cabin itself was insanely clean. The beds were so comfy, and the porch was huge with some nice rocking chairs to relax on.

This place is beautiful with a country setting! Beds and furniture are really comfortable! This is definitely a family friendly cabin! Communication with owner was great and in a timely manner! Would definitely stay there again!

The house was beautiful and comfortable- exactly as advertised. The location was perfect. I felt we were centrally located for all of our adventures. Brian was easy to communicate with and we appreciated his local recommendations for food and activities. We would honestly love to go back to explore more and have told all of our friends/family about the house.

My family (6 adults, 3 kids) traveled to Tennessee for a graduation in Johnson City. We were anout 30min from the ETSU campus. There wasnt much around, you had to drive about 10min to a gas station. But we definitely enjoyed watching the sunrise on the wrap-around porch! The place was very clean. There was ample space for everyone! The queen beds on the main floor were a little challenging for my older Aunt. It was a little high for her to get in by herself. But we have no complaints! We had a blast!

A great spot for those exploring the trout fishing in the Watauga and South Holston Rivers. Peaceful location with great views.

This is a pretty cabin in a very rural setting near the Watauga river. It has a lot of windows and we enjoyed watching the cows across the street, and we also saw baby lambs. The long mountain views are awesome - we saw them covered in snow!The inside of the cabin is nice and new; although minimally decorated. The beds were very comfortable; everyone enjoyed them.One interesting aspect of the cabin was the flies. It was strange seeing so many of them in the winter with temps in the teens. I suppose they're hibernating nearby. But in any case, there were many flies inside the cabin. Thankfully, they had plug in devices that attracted and killed them. But we swept up flies almost daily. Can't hardly imagine what it would be like in the summer. Maybe it's from the cows across the street, IDK.Anyway, a few ideas to make the stay even better for guests, and get to a Premier Host level:A few throw blankets in the living room. It gets chilly with all those windows. A few spare pillows in the bedrooms.Glass drinkware. At LEAST one set! It's no fun drinking out of plastic cups for Christmas dinner. A set of four or six GLASS wine glasses.More hand towels and kitchen towels. One dish towel for a week stay with cooking and cleaning in the kitchen is just not sufficient. One hand towel for each bathroom was also insufficient.I think this cabin is mostly meant for fishermen on the Watauga, but it could be much more with a few changes. We enjoyed our stay!

The house was perfect! Beautiful spacious home!

Great spot to stay if you are fly fishing the Watauga or the Holston.

Absolutely the most relaxing trip! The cabin size and the amenities were perfect. Considering the devastation of the hurricane to East Tennessee, we were so worried about the trip. The host was very helpful on different things we could do and even have snap shots for the directions. It was a fabulous time! Thank you so much!! The communication was spot on for every concern or question. I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking to get away and relax!!

Fantastic property. The entire process was smooth from start to finish. The property description was spot on. Perfect place for our family to stay. Plenty of room for all! Cozy, yet plenty big enough to allow ample space for everyone.

Home was beautiful and easy to get to. I thought it was closer to mountain/river area and was closer to other homes than I anticipated. However was a quiet area and very homey and clean.

Nice property

The house is fabulous. The lot is huge. Plenty of entertainment inside and out. River access is close but not the safest by foot. We found that driving and parking at one of the boat ramps was better and safer. 2 min drive. No icemaker which is fine but ice trays would have been an easy remedy. The grill is nice, we used it for burgers. There was not a grill cleaning brush or grill utensils; again easy remedy. Overall we had a blast, my boys did not want to leave.

We were impressed with this cabin. It was very clean, new, and nicely decorated. The host was helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. It is located on the outskirts of Elizabethton, in a little area called “dog town”. It is easy to get to, paved roads, pretty views. The cabin is kind of close to the road. Be careful because lots of people fly down the back roads in this area. But beautiful yard and views. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again if ever in the area.

The house was very clean and nice. We had an easy check in process and the owner was pleasant. The only issue we had was a water leak in one of the bedrooms with a queen bed. We couldn’t sleep in the bed one of the nights we were there, and we were unable to use the upstairs shower/tub one day as well. I notified the owner and he wasn’t able to get someone to fix it until after our check out day/time, but he was very nice about it. Overall, I would recommend this property, no bed for one night and not having the extra shower was a little inconvenient for our last day there

I loved this property, great communication with the host Brian and very clean!

We loved staying here. Easy communication with owner. Beautiful cabin. Comfy beds. Just the retreat we needed. Thank you!
