Fisherman's Dream is ideal for any fisherman, family or corporate getaway. We offer a beautiful lot with wade out fishing, mountainous views and the tranquility we all need these days.

Located just 5 minutes to the quaint city of Elizabethton, you can find great local eateries such as the famous Ridgewood BBQ. If you don't want make the trip to town or fry your catch of the day, delivery is available. The grocery store and package stores are 5 minutes away, yet you still have the tranquil setting of a mountain retreat! It is truly the best of both worlds.

Bristol Motor Speedway is only 15 minutes away!! It 's a perfect way to spend race weekend; fish in the day and race at night!!! Roan Mountain State Park, Watauga Lake, and the Jonesborough Storytelling Festival are also very convenient to this property.

The Watauga River offers the some of the best trout fishing in the entire USA! With approximately 2000 fish per acre (yes, you read that correctly). Trout species in the Watauga River are Rainbow, Brook and Brown. There are also various non-game species. This property is almost halfway down the river. It is perfect for taking a lunch break, refilling the cooler, or just stretching your legs before you continue down stream.

Did I mention that right outside the back door of this property is what I call "The Church Hole?" Fisherman almost always stop to fish this location and usually catch something. You can also sit on the bank and just cast a few if you aren't up for wading in the river.

Fisherman's Dream has something to offer everyone. We hope to see you soon.

Oh, this was bad

I was sorely disappointed to get here and find the disgusting kitchen. Two of the burners on the stove needed the drip trays replaced. Beyond the cleaning stage. Opened the oven to find a sheet pan with 4 old baked potatoes, coated in butter or something. I threw the whole thing away. Toaster, every handle in the place, counters, table, all grimy. Owner offered to send someone to clean, but who wants to watch an angry cleaning person cleaning again, and we didn't want to leave our stuff with an angry cleaning person, either. I traveled 600 miles to clean a kitchen! The grill was the same. A beer bottle with cigarette butts in it sat on the grill. Empty beer box on the porch. Just a horrible thing to walk into. I felt compelled to clean up so that I wouldn't be charged for leaving it a mess! Pop cup in the driveway. Wet papertowels in the sink. Stones in the dryer, which had 1" of lint in the lint trap. There were no dish rags or sponges to clean anything, so we went to WalMart. You are welcome to the next guest. The owners did initiate a refund of our cleaning fee and one day's rental, but it went to a closed account, so now that fight begins. A beautiful home in a great location. The owners are just a little lacking in upkeep and cleaning. They allowed the previous renters to stay too long with no thought to the time it would take to clean things up. They allowed 3 hours of cleaning for what should have been given 3 days! Anyway, will never, ever return.or grease

Thanksgiving trip

This is our 3rd. Thanksgiving stay. We choose Fisherman’s dream for the views, fishing and the house is always clean and decorated with a cute cabin feel with the closeness of town a few min. Away. Just watch out for the bear in the kitchen in the middle of the night. If you don’t believe us book a stay and find out for yourself.

Beautiful backyard

We stayed at this lovely property for two nights while visiting our son at ETSU. The house was very clean. We really enjoyed the rocking chairs and propane fireplace on the back porch. It was wonderful to sit out there in the mornings with our coffee. It rained a bit during our visit, so we didn’t get to make use of the fire pit. There were plenty of towels and most other necessities. Make sure to bring soap, shampoo, and conditioner, as that is not provided. The master bedroom mattress seemed a little worn, but the other beds were newer and comfortable. Overall, we all really enjoyed our stay and would come back again in the future. Thank you!

Wonderful home on the river.

The river is literally a stones throw from the porch. The guys and kids enjoyed fishing.They caught a few trout which we released but we also saw others catching fish most days. The fire pit was a hit with the kids too. Smores every night! I enjoyed watching the wildlife from the porch rockers especially the geese every morning. The house was clean and well stocked. This is our 4th stay because it's a perfect vacation on the river.

Excellent stay

Property was very clean and cozy. Had family over and fished off the riverbank. The backyard is exactly as pictured and there is a raised up plateau with chairs that is right on the river and you can fish from right on the river. There is a river access also if you want to go into the river. Loved my stay and the hosts went above and beyond for me when I needed them due to my error

Beautiful home

This is our second time staying at this beautiful home and we absolutely love it. Their is plenty of room for the family The view of the river and sitting arrangements at the river are the best. The host was super nice and answered any questions promptly. She also let us know when it was ready for our stay, so we actually got to check in earlier than expected, so that was nice. If I could give this home 10 stars I would. We will be back to stay again in the future and recommend this place to family and friends.

Perfect Family Getaway

Our family enjoyed staying at Every Fisherman's Dream even though we aren't fisher-people. We relaxed, played football, did art work and my 15 yo tried fly fishing. He didn't catch anything, but had an amazing time trying. This was the perfect spot for us to enjoy some "us" time. It was also a great distance to everything we needed, including Emmanuel Seminary and Milligan College. Highly recommend this as a place to stay if visiting a student or coming for an event at the College.
