**Surrounding Areas**
No matter the time of year, this four season destination has something for
everyone! In Spring and Summer there is plenty of mountain and lake
recreation, foliage viewing in the fall and winter snow skiing. The property
is 40 minutes from the Boone, NC Ski slopes (Sugar, App and Beech Mountains),
Johnson City TN, and Bristol for the big Nascar race. Hike endless trails
nearby, indulge at the Watauga Lake Winery, Golf at some of the most beautiful
and challenging courses in NC, or zip line at Off The Grid.
Our community has a private marina and boat ramp tucked into a quiet cove on
the lake. Bring your boat and dock it at our boat slip or just walk down for a
day of fishing right off the marina. Watauga Lake is one of the cleanest lakes
in the country making it the perfect spot to swim, fish, ski or boat around
this expansive high mountain lake. At our boat slip we have several options
for fun on the lake including 2 brand new "sit in" kayaks, a third "sit on"
kayak, a full-size paddleboard and a super fun paddleboat to take out on the
cove. We highly recommend renting a ski or pontoon boat at one of the public
marinas as that is one of the best ways to enjoy the lake. Docking privileges
at our marina is included. The area is also one of the top trout fishing
destinations in the country. Catch trophy rainbows on the Watauga River or,
for the more experienced fly fisherman, book a guided trip for a shot at a
wild, indigenous, brown trout that can grow to over 30" in the clean, cold
waters of the South Holston River.
Depending on the time of year, your welcome letter will include
recommendations on the places to go, and things to do that will make your trip
one to remember.
This is a family rental so no large parties, Bachelor/Bachelorette parties or
large gatherings of any kind are allowed.
