Watauga Lakeside Cabin - Decks, Ponds, Family & Pet Friendly Privacy

WELCOME to 822 Sugar Hollow
Welcome to your private mountain and lakeside retreat -- new, peaceful, and located on the southeast side of Watauga Lake with full access to a boat ramp and small floating dock. My three sons and I are happy to host you and hope you enjoy this special place as much as we do.

The three-level cabin was built in 2020, of hand-crafted wood and stone, with windows everywhere to let you take in the beautiful surroundings. There are three decks: one on each level and two that span the length of the home. The propane grill and fireplace are on the main-level deck, which wraps around to a front porch. On all levels, there are stunning views of the property, its ponds, streams running down to the lake, and the mountain ridgeline beyond.

From the cabin’s quiet decks, you can see the lake only a few hundred yards away, and you have semi-private, full-time access (along with seven other homeowners in the Sugar Cove neighborhood) to the Sugar Cove boat ramp and floating dock. Bring your boat, wave runners, canoes, or kayaks! Watauga Lake is one of the cleanest in the United States, and affords multiple recreational opportunities, including outstanding lake trout and bass fishing. The main public recreational area is about a 15-minute drive from the cabin. For hikers, the Appalachian Trail crosses Route 321 about twenty minutes’ drive from the cabin and numerous other trailheads are an equally short drive away. Roan Mountain and one of the most beautiful stretches of the Appalachian Trail is a 30-40 minute drive south and 4,000 feet of elevation up from where the cabin sits at about 2,000 feet.

Inside, the cabin easily sleeps 8-10, depending on who’s comfortable sleeping next to whom.

Upper Level: one king bed master suite with a balcony looking towards the lake and a 43” Smart TV, plus a queen-sized sleeper sofa in the separate, adjacent loft.
Main Level: second king bed master suite (new box springs & mattress in February 2022), with a spa tub and shower. The large, modern kitchen with granite countertops, gas fireplace, and a half bath powder room are located on the Main Level. The main level also features a Wi-Fi enabled 55-inch Smart TV. You can access the main wraparound deck, with gas grill, gas firepit, and outdoor seating from this level.
Lower Level: one (new, January 2022) queen bed with a twin XL trundle, and a new (March 2024) queen-sized bed. The Lower Level is a perfect retreat, complete with its own full bath, a sitting area with several chairs, and full laundry room. We also keep at least one sturdy sleeping cot on the Lower Level, in case of last-minute additions of friends and family to your traveling group. Access to the garage and lower deck is from this level.

You may not want to leave once you’re settled here, relaxing on one of the decks, listening to the creeks and springs alongside the cabin, which feed into a network of natural ponds and then down to the lake, or enjoying the new (February 2022) stone fire pit that my sons and I built with the help of a local artisan—no need to bring your own firewood, as the property naturally has plenty. If you do venture out, Elizabethton, Tennessee is a 30-40 minute drive west, and Boone and Banner Elk, North Carolina (including the Beech Mountain and Sugar Mountain ski areas), are about the same drive times southeast and south, respectively. On the eastern side of the lake, there are also two wineries, Watauga Lake Winery and Villa Nove Vineyards (check for updated business hours).

Multiple marinas ring the lake. Pioneer Landing marina and campground, to the northeast, and Mallard Cove marina, to the west, are the closest to the cabin. Boats of various shapes and sizes are available for rent at Fish Springs Marina, a few miles west of the Hwy 321/67 intersection.

Welcome and enjoy your stay!

Upscale “Treehouse” Cabin
This property is like staying in a treehouse but with all the modern amenities. There is plenty of space to spread out and relax. The changing views from the back deck are beautiful. We saw lots of deer. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare delicious meals.

Great Time in the TN Mountains
My family and I stayed here for a father's day gift. We had a great time being able to just be us for a weekend, and not have to worry about the outside world. Our stay was very relaxing. The beds were comfortable, and everything was very clean.

Beautiful TN
Absolutely beautiful peaceful place, outstanding views in every direction. Unfortunately water level was low on the lake so no access to launch boat on private dock, but found alternative location 20 minutes away. House is stunning inside and out. Loved the privacy and wrap around deck, which is where we spent most of our time. Only minor complaint is the cleaning service missed cleaning the main level shower and the very steep drive way was challenging, but became easier after a few days. We Would Definitely stay AGAIN!!!

Stunning treehouse
Our group all agreed we loved this place! It was a short walk to the boat dock and ramp. We spent most of our day kayaking, paddle, boarding and just floating in the secluded bay. It was so nice not to worry about boat traffic. The house itself was beautiful and had a well stocked kitchen, it had every utensil we needed. The master bedroom’s mattress was a dream. The decks were absolutely incredible and we spent most of our time outside, enjoying the view. We brought our own kayaks but there were several available for use. This home was secluded, quiet and felt like you were hidden in a treehouse among the tall trees. We loved everything about our stay! Thanks Dave!

4th of July Family Getaway
The property was clean, private, and we had so much room inside the 3 story cabin. The wrap around porches allowed for beautiful lake and wildlife scenery in all directions. We brought our boat and enjoyed the beautiful Lake Watauga. It was a great weekend and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay. We will definitely be back!

A week at the lake
We had a great time! The cabin is very nice and we all had plenty space for 4 adults and 2 teens. The multiple decks outside and fire pit were also great places to spend time. We brought our own kayaks and the boat ramp/small dock is a few hundred yards from the cabin and made getting to the water no problem. One of our favorite parts of our stay was just how quiet it was both on the water and at the cabin. This part of the lake seemed to be a bit more remote than some areas and had little boat traffic while we were there. Boone isn’t too far away and we spent one day there as well. Try the Local for a great place to eat while in Boone. Parking can be a bit tight for three or more cars at the cabin but as long as you take your time backing down it’s perfectly doable. All and all we had a great time and would book again in a heartbeat. Thanks for a great trip!

Great lake getaway!
Spent a few days with some old friends fishing in beautiful Watauga lake and just hanging out. House was very nice, clean and well appointed. We had access to the boat dock and ramp so it was super convenient to bring a boat. Thanks for having us and I'll look forward to staying there again some day.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin. Our kids loved having the stream and pond in the backyard. We grilled out several times and had a relaxing spring break.

Trip with family - Snow and Mountains
We enjoyed this time in family during the winter. The house is totally equipped and comfortable. We stayed 35 minutes far from Beech Mountain that we enjoyed for snowboarding. We had fun at the balcony and barbecue area. The Boone city is 40 minutes far from the house and a lot of restaurants and options for shopping. All the descriptions and instructions were written down to help us during the stay and Mr David is very pleased to help and give us additional support if necessary. We hope to return during Summer to discovery this adventures too.
