Top Watauga Lake Hotel Reviews

Lake Watauga FAMILY FUN, Sunny Lake Front Home Private Dock Water Toys WiFi

Lake Watauga FAMILY FUN, Sunny Lake Front Home Private Dock Water Toys WiFi

10/10 Excellent
"A wonderful lake house in a beautiful natural setting. The lake views were amazing, and we enjoyed seeing deer daily and even a groundhog near the mailboxes. Having access to the host's kayaks made the stay even more special. The house was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated. The location was perfect for exploring the area, including Roan Mountain, Blue Hole Falls, Elk River Falls, and Grandfather Mountain. The listing accurately shows that there are many outdoor stairs leading to the lake. They provide great exercise, and you'll quickly learn to remember everything you need before heading down! Nick was an excellent host, responsive, friendly, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. Highly recommended!"

Stunning, Mtn-Top, Lakeview Cabin on Private 8 acres

Stunning, Mtn-Top, Lakeview Cabin on Private 8 acres

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved our stay! This place was everything we could have hoped for and more. The view was absolutely breathtaking, and sitting in the hot tub and taking it all in was definitely one of our favorite parts of the trip. The home was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. You can tell how much care and attention goes into making this place special. The only suggestion we would make is adding a TV near the hot tub area, as it would make an already amazing experience even better. Other than that, everything was perfect! We had such an amazing time and honestly didn’t want to leave! We will absolutely be staying here again on our next trip next year for our honeymoon. We highly recommend this Vrbo to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation!"
