It was one of the quietest vacations we have had. Every night was a peaceful sleep and the lake is beautiful with very clean water. It was a great mountain vacation.

My wife and I stayed here over the weekend and it was everything we hoped it would be. We rented a boat per the recommendation and went hiking and fished most the weekend. We will definitely be back. 10/10 👍

Very nice home, you definitely want to be in shape for the number of steps to and back from dock.

Very peaceful, enjoyed all of the wild life. Loved the kayaks and the wine vineyards were nice. Cute house, very comfortable, well decorated but really hands down a 5 star host! Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

We had a wonderful stay. The house was very clean and cozy and located on a quiet cove. There are 3 very comfortable king beds-perfect for our family of 5. We hope to be back again soon.

Gorgeous views, private, easy access to the lake. No-hassle check in, clean, with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Would definitely rent again.

As 4 college kids people didn’t expect us to come to butler but we all have an appreciation for mountains and water and beautiful views and this property captured it beautifully the house was beautiful with a tv in the living room and one in the king room upstairs it had everything you needed to enjoy inside and out the dock was perfect for fishing and just hanging out we did jump in on march 15 just for fun and it was freezing as expected but jenelle was a wonderful host who helped us Oklahomans through the mountains of Tennessee we all agreed if we could stay forever we would

It’s a little out of the way, but it’s a beautiful property. Very secluded and very peaceful with nice views of the lake. The inside of the house is also very clean and nicely decorated with everything you need on vacation. Would recommend to anyone who needs a little getaway to the lake.

Very clean and comfy

This cabin is so charming and cozy! It has everything you will need. The location is very remote so you do have to prepare in advance for food items, etc. my favorite room was the sunroom with the swings. I read an entire novel in just a few days with my morning coffee. We stayed with our son and dog and we went hiking about 35 minutes out at a recreational stop. Nothing extreme, but perfect for us with our 9 year old. We also stopped by the winery! Just about less than 10 minutes down the road. Kid friendly and dog friendly as well. Very tasty wine!! Perfect atmosphere on the patio. Right before driving into our Cabin it felt like I was driving through the Italian alps! Breathtaking beauty!!! Honestly, this was exactly what out family needed. We drove from Chicago and it was a RIDE but well worth every minute to get to this little gem. Fall was SO beautiful in this area. We watched the “raining leafs” daily & the stars are amazing at night. I can go on and on, but you get my point. We loved our stay. I also felt very safe and slept very well.

Very happy with all.

Very happy with all.

We really enjoyed our stay at this relaxing, newly renovated property. The area of the lake you’re own is so peaceful and the kayaks were a lot of fun. Very remote but the tranquility is worth it.

Best stay! Thanks to prior reviews, we knew about the cell service, but the WiFi worked great. Truly peaceful and a great place to unplug.

This cozy house was all we needed for a wonderful getaway. Us and our 3 furbabies (pups) really enjoyed the dock and swimming in the lake. The kayaker and float pad were an awesome bonus. Janelle was a great host and answered all our questions. Our only complaint is that we could not stay longer! Loved every minute!! We will definitely come again💛.

We loved staying at this property. Having our own dock was fantastic. The swim pad and kayaks were such a nice addition and the kids had an absolute blast. It was very peaceful and the part of the lake the property is on was not busy so the kids could swim without being worried about boats passing by. The house was well stocked and comfortable. The one thing to be aware of (which is also outlined in the vrbo description) cell signal is sparse and the wifi was not great, also getting to a store or a restaurant will take time so pack plenty of food unless you enjoy the drive. Lastly, lots of stairs, so for folks who have any mobility concerns it is definitely something to consider. Overall I would absolutely stay here again - it was peaceful, comfortable and relaxing.

This home was the perfect place for a quiet getaway. I will say that I was drawn to this particular home because it was pet friendly, which is so hard to find. I also loved that it sits on a cove of Lake Wautaga with access to a private dock. My family and I enjoyed the kayaks and the lily pad a lot. As far as inside the home, it was perfect. It’s so welcoming and cozy. I was able to find everything that I would use at home in the kitchen, the paper products were plenty, and the towels and blankets were abundant. I would definitely recommend coming prepared with grocery items or plan accordingly to grocery shop there. The options for groceries/gas are few and far between. We did have to restart the router a couple of times because the WiFi is very spotty but that’s okay and Jenelle was very honest and up front about it. The dish tv was nice for the moments that we did want to catch a show . Overall we really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you Jenelle!!

The house is lovely and very comfortable. Terrific king size beds (three of them), and fun furniture, like two wicker swing chairs. Kitchen has what it needs for the basics. Be sure to stop for groceries ahead of time -- we shopped in Elizabethton -- because it's a long way back down the mountain to get supplies. The house is remote, so be sure to get there before dark, as the description advises. And be sure to load the address into your GPS because it would be difficult to find the place without it pre-loaded as cell service is basically non-existent past the tiny town of Butler (where there is a Dollar Store, a couple of convenient stores, and a really good pizza place, called Maddie Moe's.) As others have said, the place is awesome, but the internet is practically nonexistent. So be prepared for that. WiFi would come in for an hour a day, then disappear. Very random. And there is no cell service. So this is definitely a place to go to get away from it all. Bring books to read, some games for the kids, puzzles, cards, etc for evenings and rainy days because there really won't be any screen time. But the gem of this trip is the lake and the house itself. The private dock is terrific, as are the two kayaks that come with the house, and the big floaty thing attached to the dock. My teenaged kids loved it. The water was lovely -- so clean and clear, perfect swimming. Yes, the walk down to the dock and back up is definitely a hike...you get in your steps for sure!! :) The lake is gorgeous. This is a little slice of a much larger lake. It was suggested that we rent a pontoon to really experience the rest of the lake, and you can dock the pontoon at the house, but we did not do that. Simply chose to sit on the dock and swim and occasionally venture out on the kayaks. We appreciated finding a place to travel with our dog and made sure to keep things tidy on our end so that's always an option. Overall, this was exactly what we needed. Restful, peaceful, away from it all. Beautiful part of the country we'd never been to before even though we only live one state away. Gorgeous lake. We would come here again. Thanks, Jenelle!

This was a cute place to stay and having access to a private dock was great. The stairs are workout! Come prepared :-) The house was stocked with plenty of paper products and linens. There’s a Lilly pad and 2 kayaks at the dock that my kids loved! Even life jackets and beach towels. Tip:fish springs marina allows overnight boat rentals!

We really enjoyed our time at this home on Watauga Lake. The location was very convenient on lake. Home was well kept with plenty of extras to make it feel like home. There were only a couple of things that I wish could be changed, but homeowner has no control of these issues. The 1st was the lack of phone service over the entire area. If you want to get away from phone service then this is the perfect spot. The 2nd was the steep incline down to the dock. The stairs going up and down to the lake were exhausting! Sometimes hard to get out of bed the next morning. Overall we would recommend the house and the renter. All of our expectations were met and we really enjoyed staying on the lake and feeling like we were at home. Thanks so much, Jenelle.

Very clean. Beautiful setting. Remote and relaxing.

we had a wonderful stay on Watauga lake. This lakefront property was comfortable and Jenelle was a wonderful host, always quick to reply and super helpful. I highly recommend it!

We are from West Coast and came to Lake Watauga for a wedding with our daughter and son in law. We stayed in early June. The cabin was great!! Enjoyed the lake, fished from the dock and from the provided kayaks and caught bluegill and small mouth on flies. It is a beautiful spot. The cabin itself is recently redone. It is very comfortable for two couples. Parking was easy, we had a 23 foot sprinter and a Jeep without problem. The cabin is up on the bank with steps leading to the water to a very nice dock that has room for two boat. We all enjoyed our stay tremendously. If i lived closer i would book this cabin every year for a week. One final comment, I play guitar and the beautiful sitting room overlooking the lake has great acoustics!!!

Quiet, pretty and a great getaway.

Overall, place is very nice and owners spared no expense with furniture and linens, especially all the blankets!! The owners were very generous in everything they provided, including all toiletries, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, towels and beach towels, paper towels and toilet paper, brand new kayaks, and big floats we didn’t use, The lake was beautiful and the girls enjoyed the kayaks. We didn’t know life preservers were in the closet in bedroom. We had brought floats to blow up- it said there was an air compressor in garage? Didn’t see a garage. There was a locked outside door to basement? We couldn’t message the owner to ask because we didn’t have service. We did have issues with wifi(really only worked first day we were there, so my daughter had to drive over 30 minutes into town for school assignments). Do bring DVD and player to watch- no TV service all weekend. Those stairs! All 96 of them to the dock, were a killer!! The tub in main bathroom shared by 3 of us didn’t drain properly and could use a good scrub. We have rented a lot of places and this place by far was most generous to their guests.
