Lakefront cabin with private deep-water dock and sweeping mountain views on Watauga Lake. Loon Tunes cabin sits in a peaceful cove perfect for swimming, kayaking, and relaxing by the water. Enjoy coffee on the deck and evenings around the firepit as the sun sets behind the mountains. Inside, you’ll find a bright, comfortable space with fiber internet and a kitchen outfitted with quality cookware, serving pieces, and the basics needed to enjoy relaxed, home-cooked meals during your stay.

The space
Beautiful lakefront cabin on Watauga Lake with sweeping mountain views of the Cherokee National Forest. Just steps from a private deep-water dock, it’s ideal for year-round boating, swimming, and water sports. Two kayaks, a canoe, SUP, and an Oasis swim pad are included. Lake depth at the dock is approximately 30 feet at summer pool, making it excellent for swimming, fishing, or docking your boat. Shoulder seasons are especially peaceful, cozy, and romantic.

The cabin is conveniently located near Villa Nove Vineyards, Watauga Lake Mercantile, Suba’s, Monsoon Thai Restaurant, and Pleasants Store. Beyond the lake, enjoy waterfalls, hiking trails, mountain biking, and easy access to the TN Tri-Cities (Johnson City, Bristol, Kingsport) and the NC High Country (Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Beech Mountain, West Jefferson).

Enjoy:
• Mountain views and frequent wildlife sightings, including bald eagles
• Boating, kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding
• Calm cove access for skiing and wakeboarding
• Propane grill on the upper deck
• Evenings around the fire pit under the stars
• 105 miles of Cherokee National Forest shoreline to explore

Nearby Attractions:
• 30 miles to Virginia Creeper Trail
• 31 miles to Tweetsie Trail
• 26 miles to Boone, NC
• 22 miles to Banner Elk, NC
• 41 miles to Bristol Motor Speedway

Watauga Lake is remote and beautifully mountainous. Gas stations and larger grocery stores are approximately 20–30 minutes away. Watauga Lake Mercantile, Pleasants Store, and Dollar General are 3–10 miles from the cabin.

Guest access
Guests have access to the entire home and private dock.

Other things to note
Driveway & Parking:
The concrete driveway is rather steep. All-wheel drive or 4WD is recommended during winter weather. If parking at the top of the driveway, the walk to the front door is approximately 125 feet. Additional parking is available on the pad to the left before the driveway or behind the boat trailers along the road. Please keep the driveway and cul-de-sac clear so boat trailers can safely turn around.

Pets:
Well-behaved dogs are welcome. Dogs must be crated if left unattended in the cabin. Pets should remain on a leash outdoors, and all waste must be bagged and placed in the trash.
