Immerse yourself in the vibrant colors of fall at this Watauga Lake waterfront retreat, hosted by Christie and Donaven at Watauga Lake Vacations. Nestled in a secluded cove, the property offers a private dock, hot tub, and fire pit surrounded by a tapestry of changing leaves. Enjoy the crisp autumn air from the wraparound porches, with breathtaking views of the lake and forest, perfect for relaxing in a swing or rocker as you take in the fall foliage.

The space
Rest, relax and play on Watuaga Lake! Enjoy the outdoor living spaces, take in the lake views, and watch the kids play in the quiet cove from the comfort of the wraparound porches. At the water, you will find room to fish, sunbathe, swim, or just unwind. Just outside the secluded cove is a large bay away from the main channel, perfect for water activities. Bring your boat and launch at the nearby Little Milligan boat ramp or rent a boat from a local marina and keep it docked in the boat slip during your stay. At the fire pit, kick back in the Adirondack chairs and roast s'mores, enjoy a picnic, or play some corn hole. Continue the fun after sunset when the string lights illuminate the backyard and dock into the evening hours.

In the house, spread out on Skipping Stones Getaway's three levels. The entire top floor is a retreat in itself with its private deck, balcony chairs and table for two with water view. The retreat continues indoors with a king bed, fireplace, desk, dual head shower, two person bubbling garden tub, and large walk in closet. The 2nd floor encompasses an open concept kitchen and living space with another fireplace, TV, sleeper sofa, full bath, and 2 guest rooms. Moving outside, find the large wrap around porch with the hanging hammock chair, high top dining table, picnic table, porch swing, and swivel gliders. The ground floor features another full bath, den with sleeper sofa, love seat, wet bar, fireplace, TV, game table, and game cabinet. Outside you find more covered decks with a hot tub, gliders, and plenty of outdoor furniture and seating. Sonos speakers are on the decks, dock, and in every room for you to enjoy your favorite Spotify or Airplay playlist during your stay.

Neighborhood highlights

Skipping Stones Getaway is located in a quiet neighborhood of mostly homeowners. The best way to get around the lake is with a pontoon. If you're in a hurry, we recommend jet skis. If you're driving instead, leave some extra time as the roads follow the lake making for a scenic ride. Bear in mind, the locals are not in a hurry. The neighborhood is in a large secluded cove to swim, play, or float while remaining if sight of the house making it easy to keep an eye on those in the water. The Little Milligan Boat ramp is just minutes away to launch your boat or water toys. The lake is 16 miles from end to end and has 185 miles of shoreline to explore.

Boone, NC is 39 minutes away; Johnson City, TN is just 38 minutes, and both are abundant with activities. Elizabethton is just a short 23 minute drive for quick dining, shopping, ice cream etc. In addition to all of the lake activities, guests can also enjoy the Appalachian Trail, Roan Mountain State Park, Sugar Hollow Retreat, a winery, and lots of snow skiing, tubing, and snowboarding options nearby. We provide guests with many local recommendations for activities, food and drink.
