Family-friendly vacation rentals in Watauga Lake

This is a lovely home and provided our family an idyllic holiday weekend over Easter. Everything is as pictured. Howard is an extremely gracious host; always quick to respond. We just left this morning and my 12 year old is already asking when we can go bock. :)

Phenomenal place to stay!! More than we expected. If looking for a getaway and do some skiing this is the place to stay. Nancy was so helpful and always checked in on us to make sure we were good. If staying in the winter months for some skiing, definitely make sure you are in a 4WD.

This little cabin was in a gorgeous location! Right next to the snow tubing and not far from grandfather mountain! The views from the hot tub were amazing! Brought our two dogs and they loved it! The patio with the hot tub was fenced in so the dogs were able to hang with us while we were relaxing in the hot tub! Definitely would recommend and plan to come back!

We had an amazing stay and thoroughly enjoyed the front yard for all day sledding! The house was spacious - perfect for our four families! Most importantly, the hosts were super friendly and responsive to any questions we had! We will definitely be back to enjoy the river in the summer!!

Will was a great host and very responsive. His home was beautiful, had great amenities and most importantly clean and taken care of! Most will need 4x4 to get up and down the driveway especially it has snowed or is icy.

Kids loved the hot tub and air hockey!!! Great place...front porch to relax as well as the back porch. we spent alot of time looking at the fireplace and just relaxing....sooooo Many Deer to keep us enentertained!! highly recommend

This was easily one of my most favorite vacations of all time. The tranquility and the peace that Nancy is beautiful property provided will be a memory that I will always cherish with my kids. Outside of the property, we were fortunate enough to take a pottery lesson with her and my daughter mentioned several times to me how this was one of her favorites experiences with me. In addition, they were kind enough to share an opportunity to hike down to their private land in the gorge gorge for a peaceful and fun Saturday afternoon. What an adventure it was and well worth it. overall, we will definitely be looking at coming back and absolutely be sharing this magical place with friends and family.

Great stay! Definitely a place to hunker down for the week or weekend. Has everything you need and you can’t beat the view.

Thank you Elisabeth for letting me to stay in your place. It made me feel right at home. very nice and quiet place. Would love to book again in the future. Thank you again

Cute little house in a nice older neighborhood. Chad responded quickly. The house was set up with everything we needed. Thank you.

The cabin was just as pictured and was the perfect location for visiting Banner Elk and Boone. We had a very relaxing weekend with our pups. The laundry room had a large crate and linens for the dogs. The laundry area was huge and was roomy enough for our second dog. Ha ha....she is a chihuahua. The cabin was easy to locate and was perfect for us. The weather was not in our favor but the fireplace kept us cozy. You can't go wrong renting this place if you are in the Banner Elk area. Great Value. Would definitely stay again.

The bed is amazing and location is walkable to restaurants, shops and university. Earthfare is close for groceries, etc. Denise is friendly and responsive and finding the place is a straight shot when arriving to Boone. Parking is easy and convenient to right into the cottage. Everything you need is in the house and spotless.

Our stay at Anne's house was simply amazing. She is the perfect host, always responsive, helpful, accommodating whenever possible, willing to answer questions, and the home itself was absolutely perfect! Every single person in our group returned raving about the house and how perfect it was for our weekend of skiing.

We enjoyed the time at this location. Was very clean and nice. The hosts were friendly and helpful. We were able to really rest and relax on porch in the evenings after a day of adventure. Overall great place and great time

David was great! Extremely responsive to address my concerns, and took quick action to resolve them. Pet friendly which we really liked. The house setting is amazing and private. We enjoyed our stay very much, and hope to be back.

The condo was amazing. It was a recommendation from a friend and didn’t disappoint. The kitchen had all the necessities. The beds were comfy and pillows exceptional. If we come back to Banner Elk we would stay here again. It’s a perfect location between both mountains. Brian was helpful and communicative for all our needs.

A pristine home in an amazing private community. Full equipped with kitchen, bath, and extras. Always great recommendations and responsive to questions. Highly recommend for families that enjoy nature and privacy.

Very comfortable lots of space very relaxing would love to stay again

We had a great stay at this condo, Avery was very helpful and communicative and answered any questions I had very quickly. The views were stunning, the area was beautiful, we would definitely love to come again.

perfect place to stay with the family for skiing at sugar mountain. it's basically right across the street.

What a great place! Also the host was very kind and great communication! Very nice place and only 10 minutes from Sugar Mountain. Wonderful amenities including pool, hot tub, sauna, library, shop, workout room etc etc. Only (potential) issue which is no fault of the owners is that this is a large 10 story condo complex. On busy days, especially around the weekend it can get very busy during check in and check out and you have to park outside of the guard shack and get shuttled back to the condo. Again, we didn’t really have much of a hang up but others did-just something to keep in mind. Fantastic place, and well equipped! Thank you again!

Nice house but well maintained. In a gated community which is a plus and access in and out was super easy. In walking distance to an upscale/famous restaurant. In strong proximity to Boone and Blowing Rock with a very quick drive to the Parkway.

Whitney & Jay were great hosts—responsive and helpful when we had questions. The space was just as shown/described in the listing. My family of four enjoyed our stay during spring break and our first time skiing during Sugar Mountain’s end-of-season March Madness. We made such wonderful memories here. Be sure to enjoy the most stunning sunrises and sunsets from the balcony.

This was a perfect little getaway for my family to enjoy a weekend together. The cabin was cozy and comfortable. We would definitely stay again.
