About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Magnolia Cabin

Magnolia Cabin is located at the headwaters of the trophy trout section on the beautiful Watauga River. Magnolia is a small 500 square feet private cabin equipped with modern appliances & granite counter tops. 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 sitting area and fire pit, 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 cabin is fully equipped with linens and all household items. All you need to bring is personal items and food. We hope you will enjoy it as much we do! We look forward to meeting you!

Another great visit to the Magnolia Cabin
A great little cabin for the two of us. It was a short visit and no fishing becasue the river was still muddy but we love sitting on the deck and watching the water and birds. We'll be back in the spring.

We stayed here since we had a family wedding in town. Needed a place to "get away" from the daily life. We will be staying here again when we come back to Tn. Thank you for sharing your place with us.

Sweet Little Jewel
This place was absolutely cozy. We had everything we needed. I could tell that things were very thought out. The best place I’ve ever stayed at. The water was so relaxing . There was plenty of room for our 4 adult children to come visit and eat dinner with us. We can’t wait to come back. We’ve told our friends about the property and now they want to rent a cabin here too!

We love the Magnolia!
We found this place a few years ago and we now stay here every time we're in the area. It's so serene and quiet, yet close enough to town that you can quickly get anything you need. We'll be back next year for our annual trip!

We enjoyed the cabin very much except for the thin, not-soft toilet paper and the dust on the bedroom fan. Beautiful location- peaceful and not a lot of bugs.
