The mornings on the front porch looking at the river and drinking coffee were only rivaled by peaceful afternoons on the back porch looking at the mountains.

Clean and comfortable in a great location! We came for the week to visit the grandkids who spent a few days and nights (ages 3 & 4). With the gated back deck and fenced in yard, the property was perfect for our two dogs. We had a great time floating in the river out front on those 100 degree days - the water was cold, but so refreshing!!! Groceries, restaurants and shopping were right around the corner (15 mins). I rated the property and stay a solid 5 and look forward to staying again on a future trip down, it was perfect! ##### Nicole S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### John G.

We loved our stay at this lovely home on the Watauga River! First of all, the house was by far the cleanest property we’ve ever stayed at. We were so comfortable and cozy during the time we spent in the living room watching the huge tv. Our host, Mike, provided live streaming tv channels from all the major networks in the US, along with sports (my hubby was able to watch his WVU Mountaineers play football) and an amazing array of the newest movies available. The house is beautifully furnished and the bed in the primary bedroom provided the best two nights’ sleep I’ve had in ages. I’ll have to ask Mike where he got that mattress! The kitchen has the most up-to-date appliances and the AC/heater worked seamlessly to keep us comfortable, even with our current weather that can be warm in the day and cold at night. Mike responded quickly to our questions and was a gracious and accommodating host. Our pups loved exploring the large fenced-in yard. And the views are amazing! We were able to enjoy gorgeous sunrises over the mountains from the back of the property and then take in the breathtaking sunsets over the lake from the front porch. Even with an almost full moon, we were able to see so many stars. My hubby enjoyed fishing steps away from the front door on the dock while I sat on the rocking chair to take in the beauty of the lake. By the way, if you’re a photographer, the golden hour here is amazing. ##### Victoria M. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josh W.

I had a wonderful time at this property. I’ll admit I was slightly underwhelmed when I first arrived, only because I had imagined the water would be directly behind the home—I was looking forward to having my morning coffee by the water. However, once I settled in, everything exceeded expectations.The house itself is beautiful—comfortable, clean, and full of character. Host Mike was fantastic, offering great suggestions on local things to do. He quickly hit it off with my husband and encouraged him to go fishing one last time. That trip resulted in an unforgettable catch: a large brown trout that chased and ate his smaller rainbow trout right at the shore!As a Doctor of Nursing Practice in critical care, I’ve been working nonstop for the past six months without a single day off. I don’t unwind easily. But Mike’s home—and his welcoming hospitality—made it possible for me to truly relax and slow down, even if just for a little while. I’m grateful for the peace I found during this stay. ##### Debora w. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary V.

We came in town for a graduation from ETSU and wanted a few days to explore and relax. The house is beautiful and a fenced backyard was such a bonus for us because we have dogs. The deck on the river made for relaxation during the day and evening. I would recommend this house to anyone wanting a space to relax and enjoy the beauty of East Tennessee!
