Watauga Lake Home! Hot tub, kayaks, Slip access & Mountain View!

Whispering Pines has the best view of the mountains and overlooks the lake just a short walk downhill to the private marina. Slip #6 is available for your use as well as 2 kayaks.
The cabin sleeps 8-10 comfortably and is perfect for a couple families with or without children.
The mountain chalet is a 3 level home and has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths
• 1st floor Master bedroom has a King and full bath
• 2nd floor master has queen and full bath
• 3rd level bedroom has two twin beds, a loft with two beds and a kids hide away with one bed
• The 1st and 2nd level both have gas fireplaces

It doesn’t get prettier than this. One of our guests, described Watauga Lake as Lake Geneva in the NorthEast corner of Tennesee. Our house sits atop of the mountains in Appalachia at 4500 feet. Because we are in the Cherokee National Forest, there are very few homes on the lake which makes the views prettier than normal. In addition, the lake gets warm early in the season. You can swim from April through late October. It is a short walk to the private marina and gazebo, where there is a private covered marina; Fish Springs will bring a rental boat to an open slip for you if you'd like or you can bring one yourself. In the winter, it is an amazing home located 20 miles from a handful of skiing mountains including Sugar, Beech, and Appalachian. Our home, completed in late November 2009, looks like something straight out of a movie with driftwood trees inside the house as well as indoor and outdoor water falls. You can be busy every minute, or simply sit by the water's edge and relax.

Fantastic. Just the place we needed.
Wonderful property and hosts. Just the place and time we needed to get away, relax and use as a home base as we explored johnson city and Kingsport. Mountains and lake were amazing. Would definitely book again. The place had everything we needed. A great place to just be in the moment.

Excellent Trip to a Quiet Part of Tennessee
We really enjoyed our stay at Whispering Pines, this property is set in a very quiet and secluded neighborhood near Lake Watauga. Its very cozy inside with multiple fireplaces and enough rooms to spread out when visiting with large groups. The hot tub is located in a perfect spot to provide some privacy. We spent a warm afternoon outside grilling and making s'mores in the fire pit. The house is located about half an hour from a proper grocery store in Elizabethton so stock up while your out. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Tennessee.

Family vacation
The cabin was very nice. It was nice having the dock area to use for swimming and fishing. We enjoyed sitting outside under the covered deck because of the rainy week we had. The owner had contacted me several times to see how things were going. Plenty of room for every and we would definitely stay there again in the future.

Family vacation
We enjoyed our stay but it was misleading saying a short walk to the private deck . We enjoy walking but with a group that wasn’t considered a short walk and then inclines . We ended up driving up the road a ways and swimming at the lake . The house is perfect and host stayed in touch . We enjoyed our stay . Thank you

Unique mountain cabin with lake access
Unique mountain cabin Whispering Pines is an unusual and beautiful property. There are trees and waterfalls both inside and out! Every window, deck, and porch connects you to nature and stunning views. You will enjoy your stay, we did, loved it!

Beautiful place to get away
We had the best time at Whispering Pines! The outdoor spaces of the house are amazing with beautiful views (you can't see any neighbors!) and the lake is perfect - it was completely empty while we were there. It was a relaxing, refreshing week and Tom was highly responsive.

Amazing property
Whispering Pines was a quiet getaway for my family. The house easily accommodated our family of 4. Having a private marina made it easy to access the lake. The home owners were very helpful and quick to respond for any questions. We will definitely be back to Watauga lake and the whispering pines property.

Beautiful home, ALWAYS my first choice!
My husband is from a small town in Tennessee very close to Watauga Lake. When we visit, this home is always my first choice!!! It's always clean and comfortable and Tom is super accommodating. We've stayed in several homes at the lake, but Whispering Pines is always our first pick! Perfect in every way!!!

Peaceful
Whispering Pines is the perfect property for anyone looking for relaxation, hiking, nature and time on the water. My family and I spent a week enjoying the cabin and surroundings. It was exactly what we were looking for and more! The property could not have been any nicer and accommodated our family perfectly. We would definitely return and so grateful we found this little gem! Thank you Tom and Heidi!

A much-needed get away
We brought the rain with us to Butler but had a wonderful time getting away from life for a while. We loved the fire pit and all the outdoor spaces. We rented a boat on the lake two days and managed to get some break through sunshine and catch a few fish. The kids enjoyed hiking the AT and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. The house is well equipped with everything you could need for a great week away. Thanks for a wonderful spot to take a break.

Family Escape
We needed to get away. We also had a wedding to attend. We don't think there was a better place to stay. It was close to every place we had to be for the wedding. It was close enough for our grandchildren that live in the area to visit. It also gave us a beautiful ,peaceful place to rest. We plan on doing it again without a wedding. Cabin is beautiful, clean, and well equipped!

Beautiful mountain home
Fantastic place to escape from it all!! Beautiful home! So peaceful! Didn’t stay long enough to use the lake but did walk down to it and checked it out. Kayaking would’ve been nice to do since available. Driveway pretty steep since on top of mountain. From Florida that was a little different experience getting up. :)
