My three sons and I are happy to host you and hope you enjoy this special place as much as we do. The three-level cabin was built in 2020, of hand-crafted wood and stone, with windows everywhere to let you take in the beautiful surroundings. There are three decks: one on each level and two that span the length of the home. The propane grill and fireplace are on the main-level deck, which wraps around to a front porch. On all levels, there are stunning views of the property, its ponds, streams running down to the lake, and the mountain ridgeline beyond. From the cabin’s quiet decks, you can see the lake only a few hundred yards away, and you have semi-private, full-time access (along with seven other homeowners in the Sugar Cove neighborhood) to the Sugar Cove boat ramp and floating dock. Bring your boat, wave runners, canoes, or kayaks! Watauga Lake is one of the cleanest in the United States, and affords multiple recreational opportunities, including outstanding lake trout and bass fishing. The main public recreational area is about a 15-minute drive from the cabin. For hikers, the Appalachian Trail crosses Route 321 about twenty minutes’ drive from the cabin and numerous other trailheads are an equally short drive away. Roan Mountain and one of the most beautiful stretches of the Appalachian Trail is a 30-40 minute drive south and 4,000 feet of elevation up from where the cabin sits at about 2,000 feet. Inside, the cabin easily sleeps 8, depending on who’s comfortable sleeping next to whom. Upper Level: one king bed master suite with a balcony looking towards the lake and a 43 inch Smart TV, plus a queen-sized sleeper sofa in the separate, adjacent loft. Main Level: second king bed master suite, with a spa tub and shower. The large, modern kitchen with granite countertops, gas fireplace, and a half bath powder room are located on the Main Level. The main level also features a 65-inch Smart TV. You can access the main wraparound deck, with gas grill, gas firepit, and outdoor seating from this level. Lower Level: one queen bed with a twin XL trundle, and a new (March 2024) queen-sized bed. The Lower Level is a perfect retreat, complete with its own full bath, a sitting area with several chairs, a 55-inch Smart TV, and full laundry room. We also keep at least one sturdy sleeping cot on the Lower Level, in case of last-minute additions of friends and family to your traveling group. Access to the garage and lower deck is from this level. You may not want to leave once you’re settled here, relaxing on one of the decks, listening to the creeks and springs alongside the cabin, which feed into a network of natural ponds and then down to the lake, or enjoying the stone fire pit that my sons and I built with the help of a local artisan—no need to bring your own firewood, as the property naturally has plenty. If you do venture out, Elizabethton, Tennessee is a 30-40 minute drive west, and Boone and Banner Elk, North Carolina (including the Beech Mountain and Sugar Mountain ski areas), are about the same drive times southeast and south, respectively. On the eastern side of the lake, there is also a winery, Villa Nove Vineyards (check for updated business hours). Multiple marinas ring the lake. Pioneer Landing marina and campground, to the northeast, and Mallard Cove marina, to the west, are the closest to the cabin. Boats of various shapes and sizes are available for rent at Fish Springs Marina, a few miles west of the Hwy 321/67 intersection. Welcome and enjoy your stay! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Firepit - Gas grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - On a lake ### Things to do - Kayak - Water sports equipment - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/68000000/67330000/67323500/67323471/a4cf5ced.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lake Life Mountain & Lake Views, Hot Tub, & Dock Butler - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.2 Wonderful 21 reviews [](https://www.expedia.com/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-20&endDate=2026-02-21&selected=67323471&PinnedHotelID=67323471&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110740000/110736300/110736203/4763cd26.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sweet Water Estate - luxury lakefront with slip, Watauga Lake Butler - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.com/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-20&endDate=2026-02-21&selected=110736203&PinnedHotelID=110736203&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103740000/103735600/103735518/5b6fa791.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Great lake views, super fast WiFi, Lake/Dock access Butler - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.com/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-20&endDate=2026-02-21&selected=103735518&PinnedHotelID=103735518&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, DVD player, foosball](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/58000000/57970000/57961400/57961372/7a93aaee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy mountain adventure for all-family, friends and furry pups!

The Boone city is 40 minutes far from the house and a lot of restaurants and options for shopping. All the descriptions and instructions were written down to help us during the stay and Mr David is very pleased to help and give us additional support if necessary. We hope to return during Summer to discovery this adventures too. ##### Katia B. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria M.

We spent most of our day kayaking, paddle, boarding and just floating in the secluded bay. It was so nice not to worry about boat traffic. The house itself was beautiful and had a well stocked kitchen, it had every utensil we needed. The master bedroom’s mattress was a dream. The decks were absolutely incredible and we spent most of our time outside, enjoying the view. We brought our own kayaks but there were several available for use. This home was secluded, quiet and felt like you were hidden in a treehouse among the tall trees. We loved everything about our stay! Thanks Dave! ##### Maria M.

The cabin is very nice and we all had plenty space for 4 adults and 2 teens. The multiple decks outside and fire pit were also great places to spend time. We brought our own kayaks and the boat ramp/small dock is a few hundred yards from the cabin and made getting to the water no problem. One of our favorite parts of our stay was just how quiet it was both on the water and at the cabin. This part of the lake seemed to be a bit more remote than some areas and had little boat traffic while we were there. Boone isn’t too far away and we spent one day there as well. Try the Local for a great place to eat while in Boone. Parking can be a bit tight for three or more cars at the cabin but as long as you take your time backing down it’s perfectly doable. All and all we had a great time and would book again in a heartbeat. Thanks for a great trip! ##### Seth K. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gerald Y. Oct 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great place to stay! Especially for us because we attended a wedding event at Sugar Hollow Retreat which is only 8 minutes away. Rarely did we see vehicles driving by, which added to the coziness of the cabin-in-the-woods-like vibes. The road into the house has a very remote little-used feel to it, but easy to navigate if you drive slowly, and actually quite fun to drive! We did have cell phone service at the house, mostly 4gLTE sometimes 5g. I was also very pleased to not see one 5000k LED light bulb anywhere, all lights were an appropriate color temperature that enhanced the warm feel of the space. ##### Gerald Y.
