About this property
Watauga River Cabins-Hemlock
The Hemlock Cabin is part of our 'rustic lodge'. Our lodge is located on the banks of the beautiful Watauga River, halfway between Johnson City and Elizabethton. The lodge was designed to resemble a horse barn and sits on 5 acres with over 600 feet of river frontage and consists of 3 cabins.
The downstairs Hemlock cabin has over 900 square feet of living space. The cabin has a queen bed, 2 super twin beds which can be made into a King bed, cat napper sofa, two full baths, along with a full kitchen and living area. The Hemlock cabin can accommodate four comfortably.
All linens are included -- all you have to do is pick up some food and bring your personal items -- all other items will be provided for you! The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, cookware, toaster, coffee maker and microwave.
The cabin has heat/air conditioning, ceiling fan, flat screen satellite TV, DVD/VCR, gas fireplace, central laundry facility and gas & charcoal grills.
There is also a full hook-up RV pad with 50 amp service, located on the river. (extra cost) The RV lot has a private deck that overlooks the river.
Very convenient to both Johnson City and Elizabethton (10 minutes) as well as Roan Mountain, Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain and Hawksnest ski resorts (45-60 minutes). Immediately adjacent to the lodge is the Watauga River which is about 100 feet wide and is home to some of the finest Trout fishing in the Eastern United States. Trout species in the Watauga River are Rainbow, Brook and Brown as well as several types of Bass and various non-game species. This lower part of the Watauga has been designated as the 'Quality Trout Zone.'
We have other cabins available please call for dates and prices.

We love staying here, amazing to enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the river go by! Great coffee and hikes with in 20 mins! Wonderful everytime, there is a shed with lots of toys for the kiddos and poles for fishing, waders. Lots of great stuff. Great for family reunions!
We enjoyed the property. It had a beautiful access to the river and cool vibes around the home. Easy access to Johnson City and Elizabethton. My only comments would be the mini split AC unit struggled to keep up with the heat where it was rather warm. Quite a few ants around the home, but I’m sure will get addressed. Depending on if the other units are occupied, it may be hard to achieve the secluded river vibe. This is one of four units and our neighbors were rather social when we trying to hang out at a family. Beautiful place!
We were very pleased with this rustic cabin and the outside areas were very relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting above the river and enjoyed the view and watching the paddlers and fisherman go by.
We have stayed at this property for several years to fish in Eastern TN. This is such a great place to stay as it is secluded but close to John City.We really love staying here!
If you are looking for a nice little peaceful getaway this one is for you! It has sooo much beauty to offer and so much relaxation. If we go back to the area this is definitely where we will stay again. Everyone was so nice!! They supply so much for you! I miss being there already!
Asheville Fly Fishing Company's guests enjoyed another great fly fishing trip on the Watauga River. Watauga River Cabins is a great lodging location for our guests and AFFC includes fishing and private chef options.
My daughter and I came for a daddy/daughter fishing trip. Everything was wonderful, from the view to the cabins to the day trip fishing. We intend to do this trip again!
Scenery and location was just what we needed, great place to get away for alittle, we absolutely loved it and will definitely be back
Thank you for a beautiful place to relax
Very comfortable cabin with everything on site you could need for an extended stay. Very nice owners they responded quickly when we had issues getting into our cabin.
Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The cabin was clean and homey. The location was great and very close to anything you might need while still feeling remote and in nature. Gary and patty were also amazing—super welcoming, kind and helpful. Will definitely be back!
This is by far on of the best places we have had the opertunity to stay at. I would love to by this property and retire here. Thanks for a marvelous relaxing treat from the rat races. This place is so peaceful and beautiful. Do yourself a favor and book a long visit here.
We couldn't have been more pleased with this lovely retreat! The lodging is homey and everyone in my family enjoyed themselves imensly! We enjoyed the cold river water numerous times to get a break from the heat! We can't wait to come back again with more of our family.
Gorgeous property located on a quiet riverside lot. So very restful that we were torn between casting a line and napping in front of the gas fireplace. Very clean and
