Cabin holiday rentals in Watauga River

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!

A beautiful home and a wonderful stay, I will definitely be back!

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!

I visited Donnie & Whitney's place for a little getaway with one of my dogs. It was private and peaceful but didnt make me feel uncomfortable as someone traveling alone. I had no issues getting to their place in a small SUV. The cabin is really close to a spot you can hang out by the river - I would recommend checking that out if you have time!

Hands down, one of my favorite airbnb! Spectacular views, beautifully decorated space, awesome sitting areas. We were in town celebrating the wedding of my college roommate's daughter, and the space was perfect for three couples. Can't say enough great things about it. Brian was incredibly responsive as a host. The location is a very short drivable distance from Blowing Rock, not that you may ever want to leave the airbnb. Highly recommend!

This was such a cute Airbnb, and exquisitely detailed. The porch was amazing, and I loved cooking in their kitchen, as I had everything that I needed with a beautiful gas range stove. The natural lighting, open concept, and modern rustic finishes make it worthy of booking. Additionally, Marshall is such a sweet little town. I will definitely return!

we felt right at home in this beautifully and tastefully decorated home. It has a very peaceful and serene outdoor area, where we spent most of our time grilling or just sitting by the fire pit. It's conveniently located only about 20 minutes from downtown Boone. The host were very responsive and quicly answered any questions we had. I highly recommend this house and we'll be back next year, as this is now our favorite home in NC.

We absolutely loved our stay! It was such a peaceful and secluded area. We enjoyed the sounds of the stream and bullfrogs in the evening. The cabin was PRECIOUS! We didn’t want to leave. ❤️

Beautiful property, easy access and walkable trails. House is immaculate- beds and bedding make for a restful rest. Several running streams - outside deck overlooks a babbling brook. This my 3rd visit - love this Cabin.

This is our second time staying at this lake perfection. Already planning the next trip! The house is truly perfect in every way and has so many amenities that help to make it the most relaxing and fun stay! Wonderful location, well stocked home, best view and space to completely unwind!

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.

Super clean, great location, very peaceful! Such a beautiful place to stay if you are looking to get away from. Situated great for hiking and exploring local towns. Lance was very friendly, tagged along everywhere with us and was very interested in the dogs!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful retreat with others!

I had a wonderful stay at Martina's cabin and would definitely return in the future. The cabin was very clean and cozy and the location close to Watauga lake was ideal for my fishing trip. The cabin was also very dog friendly and the doggos had a great time enjoying the yard and going for walks to the lake! Martina was very responsive to my inquiries and an excellent host.

This place is breath taking. Absolutely beautiful! It’s a little drive from Asheville but most definitely worth the drive. The space was clean and bed was very comfortable. Will definitely be going back soon.

Stayed here for work. The pictures don’t do it justice. The view is absolutely stunning. So peaceful laying in the hammock at night watching the humming birds and listening to nature. I felt right at home. The place was so clean as well which I really loved. Can’t wait to visit again:)

We had the best time, taking in all things: the goats, the view, amazing sunrises, the lovely porch, hiking on property, the peace and tranquility. We had everything we needed inside. My kids loved the upstairs - each having their own space but still together. I can only hope and pray to be back again someday!

This was a favorite Airbnb. When you think of everything you can imagine provided. It was!!!! So beautifully decorated. Everything cozy to make you feel right at home. Clear instructions on how to use everything was so helpful. A beautiful new deck that overlooked the mountains with incredible views. A goody basket was provided...so thoughtful. Everything was absolutely perfect. Oh...comfortable beds, great linens, soft towels etc. Definitely hope to visit again soon.

Brenda"s attention to detail was beyond amazing. She thought of the little things that I would have never missed, if she hadn't thought of them. A pre-stocked coffee and pancake bar are just two examples. The beds were absolutely perfect for my wife and I, with the feel of the luxury bedding found in a high end cruise ship suite. The cabins are conveniently located whether your look for a hideaway weekend, attending a race at Bristol. Close to downtown Elizabethton, TN, that has a main street with old timey, but artsy vibe. I highly recommend Monarch Mountain Cabins to anyone looking for the perfect, secluded getaway.

Michael's cabin is adorable. The river is right off the back deck. My husband caught a fish! Michael was extremely prompt at answering questions. my dogs loved playing outside and the Appalachian Trail is within walking distance from the cabin. The local neighborhood dog, Jake was very friendly and came with us on all of our walks. Michael left a bottle of wine, candy, and bottled water for us - much appreciated! The cabin had all we needed and the bed was very comfortable :) We've already recommended the cabin to friends.

Great secluded house at the top of a mountain road. Host was able to accommodate an early check in for us and the house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed.

Great place to stay just to get away, lots of local trails see. Good view and very secluded. 4WD is definitely recommended to get up the driveway.

We loved the cabin. It was so quiet and very happy to be able to bring our dog with us. House was spotless! I would return to stay in the future.

Our family of 4 had a fantastic stay! The Hideaway is a beautiful, well maintained and stocked cabin tucked in the woods where wildlife abounds. Many fond memories were made.
