Mountain view cabin with access to a private dock on Watauga Lake

Create unforgettable memories with those you love spending time with.

Our cabin is perfect for outdoor adventures; swim, boat, or fish on Watauga Lake. Dock your boat at our private dock* on Watauga Lake which is located .2 miles down the hill from the cabin. Hike the Appalachian Trail or many of the trails in the area. Visit a local winery or grill & dine on our wrap around porch while overlooking the mountain range of the Appalachian Trail. Enjoy the fire pit and watch the sun set. Challenge each other to board games or relax in porch swings/rockers/hammock while stargazing the night sky. Come and enjoy the tranquility of Watauga Lake and create unforgettable memories.

The cabin layout: 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a large 3rd floor loft.

Main Floor: The open concept main floor has a family room with tv and gas fireplace, dining table for 8, and an upscale kitchen with a farmhouse sink, gas stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave/convection oven, trash compactor, wine chiller and a large island with seating for 4. It is well stocked with all of the necessary cookware, appliances and accessories needed to make your meals. The bedroom/bathroom en-suite located on the main floor is perfect for anyone who has trouble navigating stairs. It has a king bed with 6 drawer storage underneath, a desk and a tv. In the bathroom there is a dual vanity, a separate toilet room, a large walk in shower with dual shower heads, and a full size front load washer and dryer.

2nd Floor: The 2 secondary bedrooms are located on the second floor with a shared hall bathroom that has a shower/tub combo. Each bedroom has a queen bed, dresser and a desk.

3rd Floor: The third floor loft is a large hang out space with a tv, reclining sofa and chair, plus 2 queen daybeds with full size trundle beds plus board games and cards for your enjoyment.

We welcome dogs** (pet fee required) to join your family and enjoy the beauty of the area.

Relax and give yourself a break from it all while enjoying the beauty of the mountains and lake around us, yet only 30 miles to Boone, NC or Johnson City, TN if you need all of the comforts of home. Mountain City and Elizabethton are the closest small towns to Butler.

*The cabin is not located directly on the lake, our private dock is locate a short (.2 miles) downhill walk from the cabin with a stair case that leads to the dock from the road. The walk from the dock back to the cabin is a strenuous .2 mile walk back uphill. Cove water levels vary in the fall and winter due to the TVA lake draw down

**Due to owner allergies, only allow dogs on the property with a pet fee.

Great stay at this cabin!

We had a great time at this cabin! The communication was super easy and quick and the place looks exactly like it does in the pictures. Clean and neat and well appointed. It’s close to food and grocery and there were plenty of recreation areas and parks close by to exercise our dog. Would absolutely recommend staying there!

Clean and cozy cabin

The kitchen had everything we needed. The shower heads were amazing and there were plenty of towels. The beds were cozy and even the daybeds (and trundles) in the loft were queen size! Best part was the view, we had a nice time and would definitely go back.

Watauga Lake is Beautiful

We enjoyed the cabin. It was well stocked and clean. There is not a lake view from the cabin and a pretty long walk to the dock. We had a boat and made it work but the walk up the hill multiple times a day was hard. The cabin was very comfortable and worked well for our group.
