WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT WATAUGA LAKE AREA?

Watauga Lake is the 3rd cleanest lake in the country and surely one of the most beautiful. There are beautiful mountains surrounding it and more than half of Watauga Lake's shoreline of 105 miles lies within the Cherokee National Forest and cannot be developed. Often you can view the local Bald Eagles that soar the lake. Recreational uses include boating, fishing, jet skis, wake boarding, tubing, water-skiing, swimming, camping, etc. Fish species include Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout, Walleye, both Large Mouth and Small Mouth Bass, Crappie, Fresh Water Drum and Catfish.

Close by to the Ranch House you can take many day trips like hiking to favorite spots. Some local favorites are Grandfather Mountain, the Appalachian trail on Roan Mountain, and Linville Falls. If Fly Fishing interests you, the Watauga River and the South Holston Rivers are close by with world class trout fishing. We are also close to some great whitewater rafting, kayaking and tubing rivers as well. If touring a winery is of interest you will only be 11 miles from Watauga Lake Winery. Boone is the home of Appalachian State University which brings lots of fun to the area. ASU Football, concerts and local Breweries just to name a few. Another huge draw to the area is the proximity to the Bristol Motor Speedway. Everyone who likes racing loves the "Fastest Mile in Racing" which is the Food City 300.

We are located around 2000 Ft in elevation so you can expect cool mountain temps with a gentle breeze. Autumn brings beautiful fall colors with even better views. In the winter time, skiing and snow boarding are enjoyed at nearby Sugar and Beech Mountain.

Secluded getaway
This place was so cool! It was tucked away in the mountains with beautiful views everywhere you looked. We didn't want to leave the porch. The host could be more accommodating and friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone and give it 5 out of 5 stars.

Perfect Setting
This is the perfect property if you want to get away and unwind… coffee every morning with the mountains in the background… fishing, swimming & boating on nearby Watauga lake…. The owners were awesome, brought us a brand new grill to cook on when the other one went out… left us kayak’s & canoes to use for our stay…. The house is just as pictured… every Home convenience that you would need… very clean!!….. more than enough room for everyone to either be together or go chill separately… only FYI that I have is definitely go to the store before you get to the house… things are a bit out and after driving all day… I had to get back out and drive for another 30 mins to a store…lol… so definitely get what you need on your way in… owners are super easy to get in touch with if you’re in need of anything…. And I really can’t stress enough how clean this property is… my family and I use vrbo all the time to vaca… I typically feel like I have to wipe things down or I don’t feel comfortable getting in the bed’s because the sheets don’t always look clean…. Didn’t feel that way at all at this property… was able to come right in and relax… 100% recommend staying here…. Talked to several neighbors in the area and they were all really nice too!!

House was comfortable and clean. Everything was straightforward and easy. We thoroughly enjoyed it!
Everything was great! My only recommendation would be to spray regularly as we saw several different bugs inside the home.
