About this cabin rental
Hundreds of 5 star reviews tell the story. The possibilities are endless in this fully furnished rustic and unique log cabin. You'll never find another cabin with unique features like this one has in East Tennessee. The cabin is less than 5 miles from everything but also has a country charm and feel. Its located in the beautiful Lynn Valley area of Elizabethton TN, a highly sought after area that the Watauga River flows through. Enjoy your morning coffee on the front porch looking out at the peaceful pond right out front. The two pond fountains sound amazing and add tranquility. This one bedroom one bath cabin has been meticulously maintained and is always meticulously cleaned and rental ready. 5 Blocks from the Watauga River, some of the best trout fishing in the entire country is feet away. Wireless internet, Samsung 75" Ultra 4k UHDTV with surround sound, 42" HDTV in master bedroom, excellent cell service (AT&T), outdoor fire pit/ grill combo and a Charbroil electric grill. The futon in the den will sleep two more (double bed), master bedroom sleeps two (King). Dish Network satellite HDTV service with more than 200 channels to chose from.
Update: 8/3/2023 The cabin was just re-stained, as well as the wood around the pond, 15 green giants were added, 30 led landscape lights, and landscaping timbers, as well as the fire pit.
We updated the entire cabin in 2022 with all new leather furniture in the den. We used a local interior designer to give the cabin a complete makeover. The leather couch has two recliners, plus there is a single leather recliner. All of the ceiling fans and outdoor light fixtures are brand new. The bedroom was updated with new flooring, paint, new king size bedroom suit and decor. We added a 24,000 BTU HVAC mini split system for heat and air, which is very quiet and comfortable. The mantle is an amazing piece of artwork that looks like museum. We also installed a 5 x 10 dog kennel behind the cabin with a dog house. We added landscape lighting around the cabin as well as solar lighting around the pond. It is amazing at night! The cabin features unique trophy heads including a Moose, Red Stag, Deer, Antelope, Turkey and Fish. The trophies were shot by William Crawford who built the cabin in 2005.
Its an incredible location at the base of a mountain, and it faces another mountain. There are no cabins next to you or behind you, and a huge field for dogs to play in. The cabin has a brand new metal roof and was just re-stained. The pond gets water from a newly installed solar pump and the pond fountain is also powered by solar energy. The pond was completely rebuilt in the fall of 2021 and spring of 2022, with a brand new liner and new wood all the way around, stained to match the cabin. The old fences seen in some photos have been removed and soon green giant trees will be planted along the roadway. Please don't throw trash or any debris into the pond. The best fishing is 1000 feet away on the Watauga River. You can park at Riverside Baptist church and fish the river anytime except during church hours.

Mike was a terrific host. He was quick to answer questions. The cabin was adorable. From the pictures it looks like it is in a country setting, but it is actually in a neighborhood. The neighborhood is quiet and very nice though. It is a good central location to the area.

Cabin was beautiful, warm, and host was very welcoming. Host is actually local unlike alot of cabins in east TN. He came and checked on our heat because we had a cold snap while there. The town is nice. So many options for local dining. Food City just minutes away to pick up a steak and grill if ya want. We fell in love with the area and people. Will definitely return when it's warm to check out the lake.

Very nice property, Mike was a great host and let us know if we needed anything to let him know, great location and easy to get to, we had a very nice time exploring the area and visiting all the neighboring towns and hiked some gorgeous areas and to top it off the weather was absolutely beautiful the whole time we were there, thanks Mike for your hospitality

Not quite a private cabin as it seems. The biggest issue is the dog-friendliness - there is a horse farm next to this property with a fence large enough for big dogs to run into the horses' area, along with an electric fence on the other side of the property. This location is also in the middle of a neighborhood, so dogs couldn't run freely or swim in the pond. The pond has electricity and leeches. Lastly, this house says 2 bedrooms and it is one bedroom with a sofa bed in the living room. None of the pictures reflect these crucial inaccuracies; instead, they show a quiet farm location where you can be free to relax and hang out at the pond. The pond is also listed as a pool in the picture's description, and that certainly is not the case. Overall, the place is nice, but those inaccuracies would have made us pick somewhere else. These are not pictured for a very obvious reason. Google Earth before booking.
