About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Laurels Cabin is part of our 'rustic lodge'. Our lodge is located on the banks of the beautiful Watauga River, halfway between Johnson City and Elizabethton. The lodge was designed to resemble a horse barn and sits on 5 acres with over 600 feet of river frontage and consists of 3 cabins.

The upstairs Laurels Cabin has over 600 square feet of living space. The cabin has a queen bed, cat napper sofa, one full bath, along with a full kitchen and living area. The Laurels cabin can accommodate 2-4 comfortably. The living room has a cat napper sofa which reclines almost flat in case you wish to sleep on it.

All linens are included -- all you have to do is pick up some food and bring your personal items -- all other items will be provided for you! The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, cookware, toaster, coffee maker and microwave.

The cabin has heat/air conditioning, ceiling fan, flat screen satellite TV, DVD/VCR, central laundry facility and gas grill.

Very convenient to both Johnson City and Elizabethton (10 minutes) as well as Roan Mountain, Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain and Hawksnest ski resorts (45-60 minutes). Immediately adjacent to the lodge is the Watauga River which is about 100 feet wide and is home to some of the finest trout fishing in the Eastern United States. Trout species in the Watauga River are Rainbow, Brook and Brown as well as several types of Bass and various non-game species. This lower part of the Watauga has been designated as the 'Quality Trout Zone.'

We have other cabins available please call for dates and prices.

Comfort!

Highly recommend these Cabins, the location is great, so many things to do there and within a short drive. Kiddos had a blast and played outside almost all day! The river is beautiful to wake up to and enjoy a cup of coffee with.

Beautiful outside area

Had slight difficulty getting in, the management company had given me the wrong code. After calling the phone number, was able to get correct code and get in. The cabin was very clean and cute. I would suggest room darken curtains in bedroom. Windows are high, but morning sun is bright. I will definitely be staying againfor my next trip to TN..

Lovely Getaway

It is so beautiful by the river it’s impossible to stay in the room. We played corn hole, horseshoes, tether ball, board games on the deck. We sat on the deck overlooking the river and talked. We love a fire so really enjoyed the fire pit area. We hated to leave, however, we live close by so we plan on making your place our weekend getaway as much as we can. Thank you!

Such a beautiful place!

We truly enjoyed our stay, such a nice place right beside the River. My only reason for not giving a 5 rating on cleanliness was due to the floors and rugs needing to be cleaned. The people staying on the lower level to the left arrived late Friday night, Saturday at lunch time several of their family members came to enjoy the river with them, they had 6 kids and at least 5 adults and they took over everything and were loud. They spoiled our quiet weekend getaway, unfortunately. But, we would stay there again and hope we have better neighbors next time.

Watauga River

I was very disappointed. We are in our 60’s and 70’s. We didn’t realize we had to go up and down 15 - 20 steps to get to the cabin. It was very difficult with all of the food, suitcases, etc. The cabin itself was extremely dirty. It’s pretty bad when your shoes stick to the rugs. We had to go from the shower directly into our shoes. Dishes pulled from the cabinets were greasy. Mirrors were smeared, furniture in disrepair. Couldn’t use any of the furniture outside because it was so dirty. Wasn’t about to use the grill. We won’t be back.

River weekend

Rolling hills and the wandering Watuga on a high water weekend of rafting...this is the best possible way to kick off our 2024 rafting season. This property offers so much more then described. These hosts think of everything required to relax admist the grandeur of nature. Our favorite feature was riverside dining. Several options of outdoor cooking offered. I would love to cook every meal overlooking the water. We also enjoyed socializing with other guests on the property. Over all a perfect 10 weekend. We have already planned the next trip to Laurel cabin! Thank you for this weekend getaway destination!

This is our 4th stay at these nicely decorated, comfortable cabins. (They also have everything you need.) We had a relaxing 3 days with a lovely picnic on the deck, fly fishing on the river, and a hike at Sycamore Shoals.
