Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Watauga Lake

The A-frame Bella Vista has a Marvelous and stunning view, and precisely as owner, Alicia, describes as a ‘Million’ dollar view. This cute space is a must see, stay, and enjoy inside and out! I fully recommend a stay for more than a night or two. Easy to find, drive is steep, but manageable, beautiful deck, yard, great parking, and extremely close to town with wonderful shops, coffee, quaint restaurants, and easy driving to the main highway, gas, groceries, driving through and among the mountains, with many places to visit. Many local artisans. This special place offers a comfortable and peaceful place to rest, relax, and feel rejuvenated and blessed all at the same time. Alicia was extremely quick to help with texts and communication, even going out of the way to make sure everything was ready and willing to go the extra mile. The washer and dryer were extremely convenient, along with the all amenities. The deck is a special places for coffee, meals, reading and more.

Best host very friendly an very helpful an polite couldn’t ask for a better person than Carl he went above and beyond for us i would recommend his place to anyone!

The cabin was convenient to Newland and Elk Park where we had planned activities. Accommodations were very comfortable and clean. Thanks for a great stay.

This house was a perfect spot for our trip to Boone. It had everything we needed for our baby and kids as well as our dog! Ian was responsive when we had questions about the house. We absolutely come back here for our next visit to Boone!

We had an amazing time on our romantic getaway at this beautiful Bluff City Airbnb! The hot tub was the perfect place to unwind, especially at night while watching the lightning bugs dance around us pure magic. The decor throughout the home was cozy and stylish, making it feel like a true retreat. We loved the goats and their sweet guardian dog, Bonnie such a fun and heartwarming bonus! The views were stunning, adding to the peaceful vibe of the property. We did have one small issue during our stay, but the host was very responsive and did their best to help, even while out of town, which we truly appreciated. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing escape, and we’re already hoping to stay again on our next trip if it’s available!

The cottage was cozy and comfortable. It's in a quiet neighborhood, with private parking just outside the cottage. The owner, Micah, has given a lot of thought to the details to make a stay pleasant -- electrical outlets in the right places, full range of utensils, well-appointed kitchen and bathroom, excellent heating and cooling, comfortable bedding, etc., I had everything I needed right at hand. I was on a fishing trip, and the cottage had plenty of room to handle my gear, which I appreciated. Grocery and restaurants nearby. Most of all, I found this a great place for relaxing after a long day on the stream. Micah is very responsive, answered my few questions promptly, she's nice and very accomodating. I recommend the cottage highly.

Cannot recommend this place enough!! We had a great stay, the location is great and convenient to restaurants as well as Boone and Blowing Rock. The house was pristine and so homey! The hosts were amazing and went above and beyond to make our stay special and extremely accommodating. The house was so clean and comfortable. We loved the outdoor area and being close to the river. It was such a relaxing and enjoyable place to stay. We will definitely be back!!

House is close to town but far enough away to enjoy the quiet, relaxing mountains. Loved the main living area and kitchen. Cary provided an AC unit for those hot days. We used the hot tub nightly which is an added bonus. Cary us an awesome host!

We had a wonderful stay at Matt’s cabin! The cabin was clean, cozy, and perfectly suited for our getaway. Matt was fantastic at communicating, he responded quickly and provided great recommendations about the area, which made our trip even more enjoyable. We’d definitely stay here again. Thanks, Matt!

The tree top cabin was a nice place to get away for a vacation to the area. It sits close to Boone as well as a few other small towns. It’s a perfect place to get away in a quiet area. We made sure to get our moneys worth from the pool and other amenities in the area. I would definitely recommend this cabin in the trees to others and could easily see myself booking it again.

Great peaceful place to stay. We had an absolute blast while we were there. It is absolutely beautiful. Lance was a great host and made you feel right at home. You would never even know he was there if he hadn’t come out and met you the place is absolutely beautiful if you’re looking for a peaceful place to stay, you can’t go wrong staying here. It is beautiful. Words can’t describe how beautiful it was there and what was even more amazing two jets flew right over where we were staying at at a very low altitude. I meant words can’t describe when you see that and also the wildlife was everywhere. A deer walked up within 20 feet of us. We loved our stay and we were going back in October.

SPECTACULAR. 10/10 recommended to anyone. Elliot and Kylie were fantastic hosts super attentive and responsive and caring of every need. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in such a beautiful home. The pictures do not do this home justice for how beautiful it is.

We enjoyed our stay at Abril and Christophers place. Location was great for access to the mountain biking trails.

Very nice peaceful place, great for a family get together. 35 minutes to Boone. Beautiful home. We really enjoyed our time there. Would definitely recommend it. Host is very responsive.

This was our 2nd time staying. It gets better every time. The pool was new this year and what a great addition. Wish it would have been a little warmer while we were there but my niece still enjoyed it. The place itself is gorgeous and the view is mesmerizing!!! It is stocked with everything you could possibly need from games to kitchen needs. They even leave a thoughtful basket of goodies for the guests. The hot tub is the best relaxation and the couch is big and comfy to watch a good movie. Even checkout is simple and easy here. Austin is always nice and helpful with quick responses and is always a pleasure to stay with. The surrounding families at the bottom of the hill are so sweet, waving as you come and go. Really makes you feel at home! If you are looking for the perfect place to get away, hit the book button!!! Not one thing will disappoint! Can’t wait until we can have another Momma and girls get away here. ♥️

Kelly and Caleb’s vacation home was an absolute dream for our family! We had the best time and were able to enjoy some peace and quiet and we also enjoyed exploring surrounding areas. The home was cozy, clean, and peaceful.. I loved that it was family friendly!! Thank you both for allowing us to stay!

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!

Our stay was absolutely delightful thanks to our incredible hostess, who truly thought of everything—from snacks to coffee filters, dish soap, and little toiletries in case you forgot something. Every detail made us feel welcome and cared for. The front porch views were nothing short of spectacular and we enjoyed rocking on the chairs and sipping coffee to start our day. The beds were wonderfully comfortable and most of the furniture was handcrafted showing the love and pride the family has for their home. Additionally, Diana gave us some wonderful trail recommendations which led us to some of the most breathtaking sights we’ve ever seen in the area. A peaceful, perfect getaway—we can’t wait to return! Thanks Dianna.

The home was much larger than I anticipated and is very private for a guest house. The sound of the creek was amazing and so was the rain on the roof. We made use of the kitchen which was well equipped. The property hiking trail is steep, but enjoyable. There are a some trees down due to Helene, but it was pretty nonetheless. The pigs and chickens were a delight and a good highlight to the stay. Over all very peaceful and relaxing. Also: The host was very helpful when there was a road closure, he directed us to an alternative route to town.

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!

A beautiful location, right on the Watauga river. A very peaceful and serene environment. My family and I loved staying here and my 3 yr old son especially loved seeing the geese and playing in the river. The house is older construction, but very charming. It has been updated beautifully for modern day comfort. The host was very accommodating. The hot tub was very clean and very relaxing. We would love to stay here again.

Marilyn’s place is so magical! Everything was absolutely perfect! The loft was spotless, felt cozy and every detail carefully thought out. We enjoyed local hiking, the Virginia Creeper Trail, local restaurants and spent lots of time hanging out on the farm petting the animals, relaxing on the covered porch and watching wildlife. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook your meals, just bring your groceries because the closest grocery store is about 20 mins away. The king bed was so comfortable, we slept great every night we were there. Marilyn is very friendly and accommodating and reaching her when needed was easy. We will definitely be back!

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!

This was our second annual trip to the tiny house. It is the perfect spot to witness the magical phenomenon of synchronous fireflies while surrounded by the beauty of Mother Nature. The sound of the creek is soothing and the horses came to visit this time! We will be going back next summer! To witness the magic of synchronous fireflies is unexplainable! It is simply magical to experience!
