Beautiful and comfortable lakeside retreat
Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The property is in a great location with gorgeous views and easy lake access. The house was clean, comfortable, and very cozy. The hot tub was fantastic and perfect for cold weather, although I would definitely recommend for summer as well. Our host was very communicative and offered great recommendations for where to go locally. I definitely plan to return and stay for longer!

This cabin was perfect for our family of 4. Even though my kids are a little older they loved staying in the loft. The cabin was very clean and the outdoor living spaces are wonderful! We enjoyed fishing, swimming, kayaking/paddle boarding and relaxing in the hot tub. The host communicated very well and checking in and out was very easy.

We loved staying at Bear Cub Cabin. Cabin was very clean and well stocked with everything you will need. Charity was a wonderful host and very responsive throughout our stay. Watauga lake is beautiful with surrounding mountains. We really enjoyed the 2 wineries within a couple of miles of the cabin. Both had stunning views and property grounds were amazing. We were so happy to visit this area and very happy with Bear Cub Cabin.

Just beautiful
The view is amazing. The dock has wonderful chairs to sit on and is easy to use whether it’s bringing your own boat and docking or using the provided kayaks. Beds were comfortable and air-conditioning worked fantastic! We used the grill probably twice a day which was a great benefit. It was the perfect size for our family of three and Charity is very responsive and easy to work with. Looking forward to coming back

We absolutely loved our stay at Bear Cub Cabin! We were in town to go to the Bristol race but after getting to this beautiful cozy cabin, we ditched the Friday night race. Everything was so nice and clean and there were lots of little touches to make our stay extra comfy and relaxed. We went fishing out of Fish Springs Marina, which was great. We loved the surrounding area (towns of Butler and Elizabethton), the people were super friendly. We enjoyed the slower pace an even the lack of cell service was nice at times. I highly recommend this cabin and the hosts!

The best weekend getaway
My husband and I came here just for one night and it was the best one day getaway ever. We love to visit watauga lake and find that we always have to book a house that is way too big for us to get the amenities we want. 1000% book this place if you’re looking for a perfect property to swim in the lake, float, paddle board, and then grill out and have a fire. Also the bed was probably the most comfortable bed we’ve ever slept on.

Best location!
My family had a great stay the last week of July. The views from the house and fire pit are great. We cooked outside on the grill or fire pit almost everyday. Their dock is awesome and my kids had a blast jumping off of it 1000s of times a day. Great spot to swim and the sunsets down there are top notch!

Great Place!
We had a fantastic time! Everything was as pictured, house was clean and very well stocked with kitchen supplies, linens, and even some extras like games/coloring supplies! The steps down to the lake were no big deal for us, would be tough for someone with mobility issues but this is well advertised in the listing. Kids (9 and 11) had a blast on the lily pad floating mat. We would not hesitate to stay again and Charity went above and beyond! Excellent host and excellent stay!

Beautiful views and very clean!
We had a wonderful stay the Bear Cub cabin on Watauga Lake. The cabin was very clean and had many special little touches around it. My 6 year old and 3 year old loved the loft! Charity had toys and little things up there for children. There were drawers with coloring books and games as well. We ate outside every night and enjoyed the view from the outdoor dining table. The fire pit was very nice as well! The dock was clean and the floating mat was a hit with everyone! We decided that we need to get one now! We brought our own boat and launched it at Rat Branch on the other end of the lake. It was a beautiful 20 minute boat ride to the house along the main channel. They are putting in a new boat launch very close to the cabin, just down the road. One thing to note is that it was a bit too tight for two families. The master bedroom and the 2nd bedroom are right beside each other. The guests in the master bedroom have to walk through the other bedroom to get to the rest of the cabin. There is only a door separating the two bedrooms. However, this doesn’t effect my rating because it was so clean and beautiful and we spent most of our time outside. My husband and I have already decided that we would definitely come back just us and our kids or for a getaway just the two of us.
