Cabin holiday rentals in Watauga River

Gorgeous view of grandfather mountain! The space was cute and tidy and the backyard space was by far the highlight! Loved the fire pit area and the lounge chairs where you could just lay under trees and watch the mountain. The bathroom was small for 2 people and the shower grout looked a little dirty. Other than that the stay was great and the location is awesome! We loved mountain dog coffee which is only ~5 minutes away!

Really felt right at home. Had all the essentials we could have needed and loved the hot tub and hammock additions. Perfect location, and even the trails within the area were great. Louis was so responsive and helpful with everything

If I was someone on the fence about staying here, I would absolutely stay here! It was beautiful, very clean, well taken care of and very relaxing! It was the best way to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and we will certainly be back! The price was very reasonable for 2 nights in a beautiful relaxing cabin too! We were able to bring our puppy which made it even better! Firefly cabin is a must stay!

My wife and I, along with our daughter, her husband, and their 3 young boys had a very enjoyable stay. The children particularly liked the game barn. We all enjoyed the cool mountain air and the peaceful vibes while sitting on the outside swing along with making s'mores over the fire pit, and enjoying a relaxing soak in the hot tub. The view of Grandfather Mountain from the deck is amazing. Driving up to and down from the house was a bit challenging, with very steep climbs and hairpin switchback turns, but the view from the house at the top was well worth the drive. All things considered, we all had a very enjoyable stay and highly recommend staying here

My family enjoyed the cabin very much! They said the view was beautiful, and they loved sitting on the porch. Heather was very responsive and kind.

I visited Donnie & Whitney's place for a little getaway with one of my dogs. It was private and peaceful but didnt make me feel uncomfortable as someone traveling alone. I had no issues getting to their place in a small SUV. The cabin is really close to a spot you can hang out by the river - I would recommend checking that out if you have time!

we loved our stay, such a beautiful cabin, peaceful and cozy!

Our stay at these beautiful cabins was nothing short of amazing! The location is perfect—peaceful, scenic, and surrounded by absolutely pristine mountain views that are simply breathtaking. Photos don’t do it justice; the views are truly irreplaceable. The cabins themselves were clean, cozy, and well-maintained, offering a perfect retreat for rest and relaxation. The host was incredibly nice and very responsive, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. This is the kind of place you want to return to again and again. I would definitely come back with my family in the future—highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind in nature with all the comforts of home!

Cozy home with beautiful mountain views. We had a great stay at the Husky Hideaway! Thanks for allowing us into your home! We loved the front porch perfect place for breakfast (:

This is our second time staying at this lake perfection. Already planning the next trip! The house is truly perfect in every way and has so many amenities that help to make it the most relaxing and fun stay! Wonderful location, well stocked home, best view and space to completely unwind!

Marilyn’s space was perfect for a weekend getaway. Compatible kitchen (note there is no full sized oven but this wasn’t an issue), comfortable furniture, and absolutely stunning surroundings. We spent nearly all day outside hiking, wandering the property, or simply sitting in the yard/eating in the gazebo. Would one thousand percent stay here again and would recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful stay! Marilyn was also available for any needs we had and was respectful of privacy at the same time. Couldn’t be happier!

I had a wonderful stay at Martina's cabin and would definitely return in the future. The cabin was very clean and cozy and the location close to Watauga lake was ideal for my fishing trip. The cabin was also very dog friendly and the doggos had a great time enjoying the yard and going for walks to the lake! Martina was very responsive to my inquiries and an excellent host.

It was raining lightly when we arrived, we had no idea Hurricane Helene was also coming to the mountains. We lost power the second day and water, Kenny and heather came to check on us and brought us a propane stove to cook on and boil water. This community has been hit hard by the storm, but it was incredible to see how quickly people came together to help each other. Kenny knew someone who had satellite internet and solar power, and they were happy to let people use it to get messages out. Another person had a satellite phone and offered to send messages for people. There is a local monastery, and the monks worked hard to clear the roads of mud and debris. When this area recovers, you must show them some love and support. The property is beautiful and the area is worth a trip. Please pray for them.

Had a wonderful stay at this cabin in the woods. Very quiet and peaceful, just what we needed after a long day at our workshop. Will definitely stay here again.

This place is breath taking. Absolutely beautiful! It’s a little drive from Asheville but most definitely worth the drive. The space was clean and bed was very comfortable. Will definitely be going back soon.

My family and I had such a peaceful stay here, it truly felt like home. It was just as pictured and the accommodations were on point. Our host Becky did a great job at thinking of all the details to make our stay comfortable and she was super helpful with providing details/info. The house was very clean and I loved the aesthetics of the home. Overall, really enjoyed our experience here - would highly recommend!

The little cabin was absolutely perfect. Right across from the river & very peaceful. Minutes from Bristol & elizabethton. Very clean & just as described!

We had the best time, taking in all things: the goats, the view, amazing sunrises, the lovely porch, hiking on property, the peace and tranquility. We had everything we needed inside. My kids loved the upstairs - each having their own space but still together. I can only hope and pray to be back again someday!

This was an incredibly peaceful long weekend getaway in the mountains. This is the kind of place where we hope to come back to some day. Whether you're sitting in the living room, on a kitchen stool, or anywhere on the deck, this place is an escape into the NC mountain ranges. Lizzie is a great host, and we had zero issues from beginning to end. It is evident that a great deal of thought was put into even the smallest touch of things here. We def hope to visit again some day!

Brenda"s attention to detail was beyond amazing. She thought of the little things that I would have never missed, if she hadn't thought of them. A pre-stocked coffee and pancake bar are just two examples. The beds were absolutely perfect for my wife and I, with the feel of the luxury bedding found in a high end cruise ship suite. The cabins are conveniently located whether your look for a hideaway weekend, attending a race at Bristol. Close to downtown Elizabethton, TN, that has a main street with old timey, but artsy vibe. I highly recommend Monarch Mountain Cabins to anyone looking for the perfect, secluded getaway.

Had a lot of fun, dogs loved the creek in the backyard. Some awesome hiking walking distance from the house. Would love to come stay again

This place was perfect for a relaxing get away. The detailed instructions related to directions, accessing the home and wifi were key! Our young boys loved the toy bin, the open porch, and the option to have “big boy beds.” The space was a lot bigger than anticipated and would also be great for a multiple family visit while still having privacy.

We really loved our stay at the Wood Shop. The area was quiet and the accommodations were one of a kind. This isn’t a “cookie cutter” kind of place. The creativity and detail work in this place makes it a unique experience while at the same time it was cozy and comfortable. We would book again if we head that way again. Boone in general is so beautiful and there are so many places to get outside and enjoy the beauty as well as a ton of great places to eat.

We loved the cabin. It was so quiet and very happy to be able to bring our dog with us. House was spotless! I would return to stay in the future.
