Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Watauga River

I cannot say enough amazing things about this place. It was gorgeous and immaculate. The pictures are great but the place was beyond that. We had the best time . It was so clean and had every amenity. They are definitely Superhosts. If you need to stay in Johnson City stay here. 5 stars

The house was super clean and easy to access with the provided directions. We felt safe in the area, and really enjoyed how peaceful it was. The house has a few quirks and feels dated in some ways, but it didn’t cause any issues and we were very comfortable. We would stay here again and hope to on our next visit to JC!

My husband needed to stay in the area and Ricky’s place was very convenient. He had an amazing rest time.

Absolutely gorgeous location and the amenities were fantastic. Sadly we only stayed a single night but we enjoyed every part of the house. My wife and daughter were enamored by the creek and outdoor experience even though a flash rainstorm prevented us from experiencing it after dinner. Great place we recommend it!

We loved our stay in this beautiful cabin. It is beautifully furnished, spotless, and Brenda is an exceptional host who has thought of everything. I highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for beautiful amenities, peace and quiet, and a responsive host!

What an amazing place to settle down and unwind! Natalie’s response time with all of our questions was immediate and immaculate! We absolutely LOVED the location! We were so sad to go. The space was clean, smelled great, and we walked into the home with peaceful music. We are so glad that we got to experience what we want in our future. The most peaceful, private, and positively gloomy trip we have ever had and have ever wanted. The fire stove was a wonderful addition and was fun to use, as well as the sauna! We will definitely come back again, it was just everything we have ever wanted! Thank you Natalie! :)

This home is exactly as advertised and our host, Hugo, was extremely responsive. The instructions were detailed and check out was a breeze without complicated to-do lists. The highlights of this listing for our family were the foosball table/ arcade games, peaceful dining room with wooded views and well appointed space (coffee maker with pods, extra towels/pillows/blankets, laundry pods, for pit, etc.). We would definitely return!

This place was just what the Dr. ordered. We visited the area for a long weekend to get in some hiking and visit Johnson City and ETSU. This was by far the best "pet friendly" rental we have ever stayed at. The fenced in dog run was awesome for our two dogs and so convenient to the master suite. The rental itself was so clean you wouldn't have even thought it allowed pets. The 3br/2bth set up was perfect for our family of 4 (inc. 2 teenagers). The best part about this place is the rushing creek/little river right in front of the house. Morning coffee just feels elevated sitting next to the water. There is a great waterfall hike just 10min from the house (Laurel Falls). Make sure you stop by the Appalachian Coffee Cupboard afterwards for a coffee shake. All in all, if either of our kids attends ETSU, this will be our permanent basecamp when visiting.

It is very cozy for a short stay. It is about 14 minutes to Grandfather Mountain. Great communicating with Amy prior arrival, she greeted us at the entrance.

What a great place to stay. Perfect surroundings, nice space and super clean. We loved it!

Warren’s place was great for us and we had everything we needed. A beautiful location, very relaxing. Next time we are bringing the s’mores supplies!

Quiet apartment over the detached garage. Beautiful property. Very clean and comfortable. Close to the cute downtown area and easy to access with any vehicle. Plenty of hot water, comfortable bed, and clean linens. Would certainly stay again.

What to write in such a small space! Kevin and Susie are precious folks. We got in late on our first night and Kevin helped carry our things upstairs. And chatted with us for a bit. Susie had made some AMAZING cookies for us. We loved the space of the apartment. It was clean, cozy and just as the pictures portrayed. The bed was so comfortable!!! We will definitely be staying here again. Roan Mountain is our me favorite place and Kevin and Susie have the best place to enjoy it! Thanks for having us ♥️

Just returned from a long weekend staying at this Air BnB. Overall, it is in a wonderful and charming neighborhood within walking distance from downtown JC. Perfect spot to get away and unplug. We enjoyed the coffee at Fearless and OMG the food at Lazy Lady Bakes bakery (downtown) is also tremendous. This location is perfect just for that establishment alone. Do yourself a favor and book this Air BnB!

Adorable little place! Clean and exactly what we needed for a last minute trip.

great place to stay for anyone. great neighborhood with perfect amenities. would recommend highly

Amazing place out in the seclusion of the mountains loved it 110% From Pearl(the friendly fur baby) greeting us to the cozy fires by the creekside everything was awesome

Due to the floods last year the driveway looked rough at midnight when we arrived, but it was fine. There were activities in the cabin for littles, which we didn't need, but it would be great for families with littles for sure. The kitchen was supplied with pans for cooking, dishes and silverware for eating. There was a blanket for the dogs so they could sit and sleep with us like at home. The porch overlooks the river and the sound of the water was super relaxing.

Walter gave us an amazing place to stay for our anniversary weekend. Very secluded and private, which is something we were looking for. We felt right at home when we walked in and wish we could take this cabin back home. Everything was very tidy, well organized and we didn’t have to go looking for anything. We didn’t get to use the fire pit because it rained a majority of the weekend, which we were bummed about, but that didn’t stop us from sitting outside and listening to the sound of the river, rain and frogs. Very peaceful! Being so close to the river it made it very easy and quick to run down and throw a few casts in the river. Thank you Walter for the very comfortable stay. This place is on our list of places to hopefully return to!

We absolutely loved staying at Rivers Edge! Cutest little cabin with the best view! We got to see a fox across the river looking for some food and a family of deer crossing the river this morning before we left! Cabin was stocked with everything you need and the cleanest Airbnb we have ever stayed in! We will be back and refer all our friends to stay at this mountain paradise!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this charming cabin! Tucked away in a serene, wooded setting, it was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. The cabin was spotlessly clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated with all the modern amenities you’d need—comfy bed, and even a fire pit for those starry nights. The host was incredibly responsive, providing clear instructions. The peaceful vibe and attention to detail made this a true gem. I’m already looking forward to coming back! Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time. It was a beautiful, cozy, comfortable, and peaceful environment. We loved fishing , sitting on the porch rocking, and having a fire in the fire pit. It was exactly as described. We will definitely return. Bunny and Gene are wonderful people to share a piece of their loveliness with others. ❤️❤️❤️

The cabin was set in the most peaceful little spot. We enjoyed our stay and our toddler loved the books and hanging out in the loft area. We already want to plan another trip!

5 star stay - the location was about as perfect as you can get for outdoor adventures, and the cabin was exactly what we needed. The space was clean, has all amenities you’d need but the outdoor space is where the magic is at. The outdoor shower is really awesome and it was nice to be able to use the sauna as well. Highly recommend Babel Tower hike for a great view.
