Holiday rentals with a kayak in Watauga Lake

I agree with another guest’s assessment — the photos don’t do the amount of space justice. Beautiful views. Very peaceful neighborhood in the “off (ski) season.” It was so charming to hear the Tweetsie railroad from the porch (and perfect because it doesn’t run after 4 pm). Well equipped kitchen. Spacious living areas. Comfortable beds. Responsive and gracious host. Couldn’t have asked for more!

All around an amazing place, great to unwind and just relax near the water, but not too far from town to go do something with the family. Hands down one of the best places I’ve been and will definitely be returning! Btw check out Appalachian Caverns, really an amazing place.

Great place to take time off and unwind! Beautiful nature and not super far from Penland’s campus - about 20 minutes. Thanks so much!

Great little place to unwind after a work event in North Carolina. I wanted two extra days in a cozy house with peaceful surroundings. This house was just that. It was quiet, the birds were chirping, you could hear the running creek below. WiFi worked great. Was able to just relax and sink into the extremely comfortable couches. We were able to sleep with a fan on and the windows wide open which was so nice! Town was about 8 minutes away to grab food. I didn’t cook in the kitchen so I don’t have a comment. Overall great stay.

Beautiful home and neighborhood! Very peaceful getaway. Family friendly. Easy to get to Blowing Rock through back of neighborhood. Comfy beds. Melanie is incredibly responsive and went above and beyond! Back deck was covered with leaves and twigs from recent wind and rain - she shipped us a leaf blower same day so we could easily clean it off and enjoy it! We will definitely be back!

If you are looking for a quiet place in the Tennessee mountains - this is the place for you!

This is a beautiful place to stay! The interior is excellently furnished is and very unique. The outdoor areas are perfectly maintained and it is so peaceful. We could not have asked for a nicer place to stay. Also, the host is so kind and helpful! We will be back to stay again many times!

Myself and wife stayed alongside my brother, for our yearly trout fishing trip.The house was OUTSTANDING it was a beyond beautiful view the house stood up to what I was expecting and just a hop&skip away from the river.And there was quite a few wildlife spotting during our stay that really made our trip considering we don’t see stuff like that back home. Kirk was very helpful and very friendly with every question asked. If I could give more than 5/5 starts I would definitely.! Definitely recommend staying and visiting the beautiful country side stay!!

Beautiful home and the most well stocked kitchen I’ve ever seen at an AirBnB or VRBO. The family loved it. Only thing is it has houses on each side and not as private as it looked in the photos. River was great but a bit shallow for fishing near th house. Still it was a great time at a lovely home

The place is absolutely gorgeous and had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked with spices, utensils, and everything we needed to cook. The location is peaceful and there's ample room in the living space. Can't wait to stay again.

The house was outstandingly beautiful! Neighborhood was quiet and exclusive. The porch had a beautiful view. The grill was a nice feature to have. We enjoyed our stay. House was clean. It was nice to have an option to use a canoe. It rained most of our visit so we did not get the chance to take it out. The walk to the lake is not far but it is all uphill on the way back.

Eagles peak was a comfortable place to stay near the Sugar Hollow wedding that we came to attend. The living room was great, kitchen was full of pans, etc with coffee maker, ice maker, lots of storage. We appreciated the basket of cooking spices. Several of our party enjoyed the hot tub and the extensive deck was great! Lots of places to sit - sun, shade, rocking chair, picnic table. We saw a doe and baby deer from the deck, lots of birds on the wire and flitting around the bushes. A couple people went to the nearby winery and mercantile, they were able to pick up a few necessities there without driving far. We had dinner in Boone one evening, not too far, (the other dinners were at the wedding venue). Julie was quick to respond to questions and had excellent suggestions of places to visit and eat. It was a wonderful family gathering.

Amazing Stay! Perfect Cabin for Our Family Our stay at this cabin was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The cabin was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was clear that a lot of thought and care went into making sure guests are taken care of. The host was incredibly helpful. I had a few questions during our stay, and each time I called, the host was quick to respond and provided clear, friendly assistance. It's rare to find such excellent customer service! The location was peaceful and safe, providing the ideal environment for relaxation and family time. We loved the cozy atmosphere and all the amenities that made the cabin feel like a true home away from home. We highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with excellent hospitality. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

It was a great experience! Definitely plan on coming back!

Chris's cabin and property are beautiful! We loved having the river right behind us to play in with our puppy. Everything with the cabin was great, comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, plenty of wood for the firepit, charcoal for the grills, and an amazing view of the river and surroundings. Very private and very remote, I would strongly recommend having an SUV/all-wheel drive vehicle. We saw two black bears as we were driving back to the property which was fun to see (but glad they weren't any closer or on the property). Chris is very helpful with instructions for getting to the place, and was very responsive when we had questions. We definitely hope to go back and highly recommend this property!

“A Private Oasis” was amazing! It was the perfect weekend for our son’s graduation weekend from App. The house was immaculately clean, and we especially loved the game room and both porches. The adjustable beds were an extra treat! Highly recommend this home and management company for your next Boone visit. We’d love to come back and stay there again!
