We visit the area 2-3 times each year. We never stay anywhere but Wautauga River Cabins unless they are booked when we need them. All the comforts of home, without the stresses of home. And the river right outside your door!

This property on the river is beautiful! We enjoyed the fire pit and tons of wildlife. Deer or turkey were out in the fields almost every morning. The property was clean and had everything we needed for our week long stay. We'll be back again!

Great home base
My husband and I came to this area for the Nascar races in Bristol and stayed at Watauga Cabins for several nights. We had all of the comforts of home in a nice setting on the river. Quiet and cozy. We loved hiking the Laurel Fork Trail while in the area. Thanks for sharing this space with us.

Complete tranquility
We stumbled upon the Watauga River Cabins in a last minute search over Christmas. The description fit reality! This place is very rustic but also spotless and well appointed. They even had a Christmas tree, which was a very nice and welcomed touch. We kept saying it would be a wonderful place to go as a large group. Hats off to this heavenly location! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!

This property was amazing. We were in town for my mom's 80th birthday celebration. My only complaint was that we didn't get to spend a lot of time at the Cabin. But we will be back to enjoy all it has to offer.

Awesome and cozy apartment
This space was perfect for our motorcycle group. The property has an awesome fire pit for reflecting on your day or just catching up. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and the beds were comfy. The living room seating was extremely comfy as well. It was great to have a washer and dryer too! If you’re on motorcycles the roads to the property are all paved and the driveway is short and gravel but very manageable.

wonderful place to spend some lazy days
The location is perfect, out a country road, looking over the river; rocking chairs to sit and watch the river run. The fishing is great, catch and release only. there is a grill, a gas grittle, and a fire pit with plenty of wood. The cabin units have plenty of space, and all the necessities. The kitchen has stove/oven, microwave, coffee makers (both keurig and drip), pots/pans/dishes/silverware. Roku tv and fast internet as well. The owners are really nice and helpful. They are on premises about half the time and they have a property manager that lives close as well.

Amazing adventure with my Sons
The cabins are great and the location was even better… We went fishing, swimming, sat by the fire and that was all on the property. It was 40 minutes from the Rodeo in the Valley, and 25 minutes from horse back riding in the mountains at Warrior Stables. It was an adventure that will last a lifetime!

Peaceful Getaway
This was a great cabin. The cabin was very comfortable. The outdoor sitting areas were comfortable and provided great views. Many hours were spent relaxing by the river. The location was secluded and peaceful, however it was convenient to both Johnson City and Elizabethton. Plan to return next year.

Home away from home
This is our umpteenth visit. We wouldn’t dream of staying anywhere else, relaxing, comfortable, with plenty of outdoor activities available. Just far enough away from town to feel that you’re away from town! But close enough to run in and grab a cuppa coffee if you need some.

Amazing Vacation!
We absolutely loved this property. The river is right in the back yard. There is an amazing swimming hole just a short float down stream. My husband and friends went fly fishing right down the steps to the water. The place is cozy and has all the modern amenities with the perfect antique cabin feel. The doors are all reclaimed old doors, the farm house sink is truly a farm house sink. We rented all three units and the set up was perfect. We dined Al Fresco every night. The river cooled the back yard under the trees- even in 100 degree weather it was comfortable. And no bugs! Best of all, our dog was in heaven. The owners really though of everything and just the right amount of nothing. I came home from this vacation not feeling like I needed a vacation. The pictures can do it justice, so just imagine perfection.
