Great stay at cute little house on the water

My family and I had a great stay! We stayed here to enjoy the water and waterside fire pit and for some of our group to go skiing. The slopes were about 40-60 minutes away so completely doable. The hosts were very friendly and even helped us feel more comfortable when we made a request. We all had a wonderful time!

The property is simply fantastic. It was not only beautiful but was also very spacious. We had 7 in our group and never felt crowded.

Lovely Week

Hilltop Hideaway was a lovely home that housed our family this week. We were a family group of 9, with ages ranging 7-73. The lakefront access is exceptional with a large covered dock, kayaks, a canoe and paddle board. We used the lakefront fire pit, graciously furnished with Adirondack chairs and GOOD firewood several times. The location is remote, but we loved being at the end of a channel.

Great getaway at the lake

My family loved the breakdown of bedrooms and ratio to bathrooms The dock had several watersports and a great area for a bonfire. Three separate dining tables and an awesome kitchen to cook for everybody. Extra bonus was a bird had laid her eggs in a nest behind a pillow on a chair on front porch. Love that nature was so close. We will absolutely be back.

Gorgeous Property!

The location of the house was perfect. We enjoyed using the kayaks, canoe and paddle board provided. We also rented a boat for one day to explore the lake and were able to easily dock it. Having a small refrigerator down by the dock was very convenient. We also enjoyed making snores at the fire pit. There was plenty of firewood available. The house was very clean and spacious and the kitchen was fully stocked. The front porch was the perfect spot for reading and enjoying our morning coffee while looking out at the lake. Carol is an excellent host who made sure our stay was perfect from start to finish. We highly recommend this property!

Best Place on Lake Watauga

I have used VRBO for over 10 years for at least 2 trips per year and this house is without a doubt the best I have ever rented. The place is isolated and peaceful sitting on lakefront property. The house has everything you will need and the owners were just a text away if you had any questions or looking for a place to go out to eat. BEAUTIFUL just does not do it justy.

Perfect vacation.

Wonderful house. Quit and peaceful. All my kids had a great time. So nice to have two separate areas. Downstairs great for older kids who stay up late. Upstairs for early to bed and early to rise kids. We loved the dock with all the water crafts. My kids did hours of fishing of the dock! Carol was easy to communicate with. Great place we hope to return!

Did not want to leave.

After a wonderful week at this beautiful location I did not want to leave. The home and property are beautiful. Very peaceful location with beautiful view. We got much use of the kayaks, canoe, paddleboard and parked our boat at the private covered dock, and one day pontoon boat rental. Long ride from NJ but absolutely worth the trip, Carol and Tom were available to answer any and all questions. Perfection - THANK YOU

Watauga lake

We loved the location of the property. Lake access was great. We loved being able to bring a boat to the dock provided . The upstairs bedroom facing the lake could really use some blinds , the sun beams in early in the morning with no curtains or blinds . We had two preteens staying in the downstairs area . I did not feel like the air conditioning was working properly in the downstairs area . It always seemed to be hot downstairs. We loved having the kayaks and paddle boards to use.

Great Lake House and Perfect Location

This property exceeded our expectations. As other people already mentioned, the house looks/feels better then the pictures can show it. The house is very clean, all appliances are in working order and is equipped with everything that you need. On the dock there are two kayaks, canoe & a paddle board. The house and the dock are located at the end of a small Watauga Lake bay, so it is incredibly quiet and peaceful. Great for fishing, using the paddle board and relaxing. The house has large front porch, fully covered, great for sitting out even if it rains. Property owners were great to work with, very quick to respond to any questions.

Beautiful House, but a few bad things

The lake house was magnificent. The hosts were very helpful. They answered every question that was asked, they left out towels, and hand soap to be used, and every bed was furnished with pillows and blankets for my group and I. I only had two complaints, the first was that, as the listing description states, the house as no cell service and we relied on the WIFI in the house for any task such as loading directions in our phones to venture into town. With several people accessing the WIFI at the same time, it bogged down becoming unusable when one person was making a phone call. The second and less serious complaint was that the pull out bed downstairs had a horizontal bar that poked into the ribs of the person that was sleeping on it.

Excellent lake getaway Thanksgiving week 2022

The lake house was spacious (3 bedrooms plus a basement apartment). many amenities and well equipped. The grounds were well kept. The firepit by the lake dock side was fantastic to warm up in the evening roasting marshmallows. The area is amazingly beautiful and peaceful. A great place to escape and recharge your batteries. No cellphone reception but satellite TV/internet. Carol was very helpful and responsive. Overall, a great time. Will repeat.
