Watauga River Cabins- Cedar Cabin

The property featured is a newly built 3,000 sq. ft. "upscale rustic" lodge. The lodge is located at the headwaters of the trophy trout section on the beautiful Watauga River. The lodge was built using mostly reclaimed wood from local tobacco barns. From the barn wood kitchen cabinets, to the tobacco flooring and siding, this lodge is truly unique. Even though the lodge was completed in 2015, it looks as though it has been there for a hundred years. From using a whiskey barrel to hold a faucet to rusty metal ceilings, this lodge is truly one of a kind. The lodge is equipped with all modern appliances and a fully equipped kitchen. Hand made barn wood cabinets and granite counter tops makes this kitchen an inviting place to cook and enjoy family time.

Relax on our Back Deck: A guest favorite…our back deck is the place to enjoy the great outdoors while watching the river go by. You might even see someone catching a fish! Featuring a stone wood burning fireplace, an outdoor kitchen area, and teak furniture & rocking chairs – this relaxed setting is the perfect place to unwind. This section of the Watauga River is a fisherman's paradise! You can walk off the large covered back porch down to a wadable river to fish, kayak, or watch wildlife.

Located on a country road, you would think you are a long way from civilization, but travel four miles down the road and you can pick up anything you need. The lodge is fully equipped with linens and all household items. All you need to bring is personal items and food.

We have been planning this lodge for a long time & we hope you will enjoy it as much we do! We look forward to meeting you!

Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a spa tub or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Fully-Stocked, Tennessee Gem
The river was a glorious backdrop to this clean, fully-stocked retreat with massive covered porch and firewood in abundance. An ideal setup for two couples and four kids (including a mother-in-law suite perfect for teens) with space for more. The owners/managers were extremely welcoming and helpful. If staying the weekend, do yourself a favor by indulging at The Farmer's Daughter restaurant. Overall, a great stay. We left TN with full hearts and full bellies.

Wonderful place and people
We’ve stayed here multiple times as a group. It has always been a great place to stay. We had to cancel this trip last minute due to a family emergency. The owners were very gracious to work out rescheduling/refunding the trip.

Family vacation
Wonderful family stay at the Cedar Cabin. Definitely more than a cabin. Well equipped and great location. Perfect for 8 adults and 2 children. If you have the whole house (4 BRs) remember the 4th bedroom is not connected to the main house. Not a problem for us and our weather was great.

Truly an awesome piece of Heaven
The pictures do not do this home justice…..it is far more beautiful! The love and care put into this property shows! All of the little things add up to a slice of Heaven. Sitting on the porch and watching someone catch a brown trout right in front of you…. The sound of the water… the uniqueness of the reclaimed wood and history… even the table legs from the original house porch… the old pictures… all of it adds up to a beautiful and LOVED home! Staying here eliminated stress and was refreshing! The house was clean and the kitchen had EVERYTHING you could possibly need. The beds were very comfy! HIGHLY recommend this piece of Heaven! The Hosts were easy to work with and even helped me with a problem with VRBO. Get a group of friends together and go stay! You will truly relax and enjoy this cabin! MUST do it!

Perfect family reunion spot
Our family gathers every other year for a family reunion and this was everyone’s favorite so far by far! We had 32 people at one point. The accommodations are perfect. Kids and dogs can run free and there are plenty of places to gather together as a group or to get alone for some quiet time. We enjoyed playing games, reading, rafting, hiking, and exploring Johnson City. Remote yet easily accessible to restaurants and grocery stores. We attended the blue plum festival in Johnson City, which was a big hit. We will definitely be coming back!
