Mountain view cabin with access to a private dock on Watauga Lake

Create unforgettable memories with those you love spending time with.

Our cabin is perfect for outdoor adventures; swim, boat, or fish on Watauga Lake. Dock your boat at our private dock* on Watauga Lake which is located .2 miles down the hill from the cabin. Hike the Appalachian Trail or many of the trails in the area. Visit a local winery or grill & dine on our wrap around porch while overlooking the mountain range of the Appalachian Trail. Enjoy the fire pit and watch the sun set. Challenge each other to board games or relax in porch swings/rockers/hammock while stargazing the night sky. Come and enjoy the tranquility of Watauga Lake and create unforgettable memories.

The cabin layout: 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a large 3rd floor loft.

Main Floor: The open concept main floor has a family room with tv and gas fireplace, dining table for 8, and an upscale kitchen with a farmhouse sink, gas stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave/convection oven, trash compactor, wine chiller and a large island with seating for 4. It is well stocked with all of the necessary cookware, appliances and accessories needed to make your meals. The bedroom/bathroom en-suite located on the main floor is perfect for anyone who has trouble navigating stairs. It has a king bed with 6 drawer storage underneath, a desk and a tv. In the bathroom there is a dual vanity, a separate toilet room, a large walk in shower with dual shower heads, and a full size front load washer and dryer.

2nd Floor: The 2 secondary bedrooms are located on the second floor with a shared hall bathroom that has a shower/tub combo. Each bedroom has a queen bed, dresser and a desk.

3rd Floor: The third floor loft is a large hang out space with a tv, reclining sofa and chair, plus 2 queen daybeds with full size trundle beds plus board games and cards for your enjoyment.

We welcome dogs** (pet fee required) to join your family and enjoy the beauty of the area.

Relax and give yourself a break from it all while enjoying the beauty of the mountains and lake around us, yet only 30 miles to Boone, NC or Johnson City, TN if you need all of the comforts of home. Mountain City and Elizabethton are the closest small towns to Butler.

*The cabin is not located directly on the lake, our private dock is locate a short (.2 miles) downhill walk from the cabin with a stair case that leads to the dock from the road. The walk from the dock back to the cabin is a strenuous .2 mile walk back uphill. Cove water levels vary in the fall and winter due to the TVA lake draw down

**Due to owner allergies, only allow dogs on the property with a pet fee.

Highest Recommendation!
Our stay here exceeded all of our expectations. From our first communication with the owners to when checked out - it was a 5 star experience. The owners are wonderful to work with and receptive and prompt in answering any question. The property is immaculate in every way. We will be seeking this property out next time we visit!

Great stay at this cabin!
We had a great time at this cabin! The communication was super easy and quick and the place looks exactly like it does in the pictures. Clean and neat and well appointed. It’s close to food and grocery and there were plenty of recreation areas and parks close by to exercise our dog. Would absolutely recommend staying there!

Family getaway
The cabin was clean and beautiful, just as described. It served as a comfortable home base for our family’s mountain and lake adventures. We enjoyed the views from the deck, paddle boarding and swimming from the dock, and catching up with old friends who live in the area.

The cabin was absolutely gorgeous and fully stocked with the necessities. Beautiful scenery on the mountains with awesome nearby trails! Laura was super accommodating and allowed us to check in early when we arrived earlier than expected from an out of state commute. Would definitely recommend this property to other. Will certainly stay again when back in the area!

Watauga Lake is Beautiful
We enjoyed the cabin. It was well stocked and clean. There is not a lake view from the cabin and a pretty long walk to the dock. We had a boat and made it work but the walk up the hill multiple times a day was hard. The cabin was very comfortable and worked well for our group.

Clean and cozy cabin
The kitchen had everything we needed. The shower heads were amazing and there were plenty of towels. The beds were cozy and even the daybeds (and trundles) in the loft were queen size! Best part was the view, we had a nice time and would definitely go back.

Best stay ever!
This was our best VRBO experience ever! From Laura’s incredibly helpful communication to the stunning fully equipped property, this was a magical stay to ring in the new year. The cabin is equipped with anything you can imagine needing, and my family could not say enough about the care Laura and Chris put into making this property a place you can truly unwind and relax with family. The cabin is spacious and beautiful, and traveling with young kids was a breeze with slide protectors on the steps and installed gates at every stair case. We will definitely be looking to plan a return next year!

Our family had such a wonderful time and couldn’t have asked for a better Fall Break! The owners were incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions that arose. We were welcomed with a s’mores basket that was a highlight for our kids and the home had everything we needed. Additionally, it was so clean! The hiking and exploring in the area did not disappoint, either! We highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway!

Family Getaway
We wanted to rent a place for a relaxing family getaway for a long weekend. This cabin was perfect. The views are amazing and we loved the peaceful surroundings. The kitchen was state of the art and fully equipped for all our cooking needs. The owners even left a gift basket to make smores, which we did one evening. The place was very clean, and my teenagers loved the master bathroom's shower. There is a cute coffee/tea nook that handled our morning drink needs. We would definitely like to visit again, and next time bring our boat.

Perfect Stay
The view alone was amazing but the property and owners made it so much beyond amazing. The amenities were endless, things I’d never think of needing, everything was available. The house was immaculately clean and comfy! There were so many little touches that made the stay delightful. My teens were never bored, even put their devices away for most of the trip. The loft was perfect for them! WiFi was questionable at one point for my son needing to take an online exam, but it worked perfectly on the 2nd floor. Thank you, Laura and Chris, for allowing us to stay in your place. Lots of love and memories shared this week!

Relaxing Getaway
We were looking for a home with access to a lake, but also some seclusion and we found it! The home fit our needs and then some. The owners were accessible and communicated back quickly. The walk to the dock is downhill so prepare yourself for a strenuous, but doable walk back. We loved the dock and the small cove it’s on. Lake Watauga is absolutely breathtaking! We rented a pontoon from Lakeshore Marina which I highly recommend. We didn’t seek out other activities. Just enjoyed the lake and relaxing family time.
