Watauga River Cabins Sycamore Cabin
This cabin (Sycamore Cabin) is part of our 'rustic lodge'. Our 'rustic 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 Sycamore cabin has over 800 square feet of living space. The cabin has a queen bed and full bath downstairs. In the loft there is a queen bed, two single beds and a half bath.
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 (Direct TV is provider), DVD/VCR, central laundry facility and gas grill.
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.

Bristol weekend
Very happy with the property and condition it was in. I stayed in the sycamore cabin with my wife and a few friends. Plenty of space for all of us comfortably. The water pressure in the shower wasn’t the best, but it was clean and had plenty of hot water. The location of the property was close to Bristol motor speedway. My wife and I both agreed if we come back to the area for another trip we would try to use this property again and think it would be fun to get a larger group to come down and rent out multiple units on the property.

Little dust, little cobwebs, But a Whole Lot of Country!
We were here for the NASCAR Race in Bristol. This was the best little spot. Allowed us to easily come & go and stay all together as a family of 4. It was great to be able to see East Tn mountains & the curvy roads up to Bristol. We loved it! I hate that we couldn’t spend time using the outside spaces because they looked incredibly inviting. Hope to get back so we can use those & other outdoor activities in the area. So, yes, it’s a little dated, a little dust, & the typical cobwebs in the corners due to the cool mountain air. But it was home for the weekend and very much a part of our memories & lives forever. Thx for sharing this very unique place!

Perfect for families
This our 2nd time gathering our large family at Watagua River Cabins for Thanksgiving. It is a cherished experience made even better by the beautiful setting, plentiful amenities, and set-up of the 5 cabins— especially for the kids and fishermen in our group. We highly recommend one or all the cabins and we hope to do it again in the future!
