About this cabin rental
Escape to our tiny-home cabin in the Appalachian Mountains near Watauga Lake and the Appalachian Trail, perfectly timed for lake season, hiking, fishing, and outdoor concerts. This cozy 500 ft² retreat sleeps up to 4 with a queen bed and queen sleeper sofa and offers easy access to marinas, boat rentals, wineries, and Bristol Motor Speedway’s spring and summer race events. Hosted by WataugaLakeVacations, Twisted Vines Cabin is a relaxing summer escape—and it’s pet friendly.
Escape the city lights in our Appalachian tiny-house. On the main level, there is a full kitchen, dining area, living area, and outdoor deck complete with grill, bistro dining set and outdoor seating. For connectivity and entertainment, we offer free high-speed WiFi, a 43" 4K HDR Roku TV. As cell service is limited in this remote area, WiFi calling must be enabled to make phone calls. Downstairs has a magnificent queen bed made from beautiful, local hardwood, a full bathroom with shower, small sitting area and laundry room. Watauga Lake, the Appalachian Trail, and ski resorts are all within minutes.
You have access to the entire cabin. There is very little yard space; however, there is ample deck space. Paved parking allows for two vehicles.
This area is quite remote; however, the cabin is on a major road for the area (it is only a two lane highway) and is very easy to get find.
Watauga Lake, one of the cleanest lakes in the country, offers great places for boating, swimming, water sports, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding. Boat rentals are just seven minutes away and the Little Milligan boat ramp is five minutes away.
The Appalachian Trail is 11 minutes away, and many hiking trails such as Laurel Falls, Blue Hole Falls, Pond Mountain, and Lacy Trap Ridge are close by.
Additional recommendations for local places are in our guidebook.
This cabin is located on a well traveled two lane road. During the winter, it is plowed first and up kept regularly. There is ample parking just off the road for 2 vehicles or vehicle with a trailer. Pull in and pull out is easy and no backing up is required.

There is a Dollar General within four minutes and a variety of grocery stores 18 to 25 minutes away. We recommend you get groceries prior to arrival.
WiFi calling must be enabled to make phone calls from the cabin - cell service is limited in the area.
This cabin is located in the Cherokee National Forest. One of the benefits is you will possibly get to see wildlife! We have seen bear, deer, turkeys, etc. Conversely, you may see wildlife! Since it is in a remote area, be aware that this is a possibility and should be expected.
A baby crib, Graco Pack-N-Play, is available in the laundry room.

We absolutely loved this cabin! There was plenty of space for three adults and our two large dogs, which made the stay very comfortable. The hosts were wonderful—responsive, helpful, and quick to answer any questions we had. If you’re looking for a relaxing, authentic cabin experience, this is the perfect place. We’re already looking forward to returning!

I'm a contractor. I stayed here for a almost a week. I couldn't have been more impressed with the overall value. It's a lot bigger than you think it will be inside. It has everything you need. It's like someone lived there for 10 years, upgraded everything meticulously, had every cabinet filled with essentials and even some nice extras, then moved out all the sudden. Book it and Enjoy.

Nice cabin with everything we needed. It's right off the highway with no real yard space, but that was perfect for us because we used it as our home base for the area. The host was responsive to any questions that we had and checked to make sure we had everything we needed.

Great for a quick stay and very convenient to public lake access. Overall the cabin was clean. The location of the cabin is very close to the road, would not recommend if you have small children. The cabin was probably not a home originally, the bedroom is on the lower level and had a musty odor. The bathroom is functional but also small with a 3x3 shower. Would be great for a couple fishermen looking for quick access to the boat ramp.
