Magnolia Cabin

Magnolia Cabin is located at the headwaters of the trophy trout section on the beautiful Watauga River. Magnolia is a small 500 square feet private cabin equipped with modern appliances & granite counter tops. Relax on our back deck! A guest favorite…our back deck is the place to enjoy the great outdoors while watching the river go by. You might even see someone catching a fish! Featuring a sitting area and fire pit, this relaxed setting is the perfect place to unwind. This section of the Watauga River is a fisherman's paradise! You can walk off the large covered back porch down to a wadable river to fish, kayak, or watch wildlife. Located on a country road, you would think you are a long way from civilization, but travel four miles down the road and you can pick up anything you need. The cabin is fully equipped with linens and all household items. All you need to bring is personal items and food. We hope you will enjoy it as much we do! We look forward to meeting you!

We had a peaceful and relaxing stay at Magnolia cabin. Did some fishing and enjoying porch sitting listening to and watching nature. The cabin itself is filled with rustic charm. It had everything one would need. Very clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back! Tracie & Glenn Ryther

Wonderful Cabin
Had a great stay at the Magnolia Cabin. Located on the river and in a country setting, made it a wonderful stay. Cabin was very clean and was as described. The washer/dryer are not in the cabin but located in a common area of the other rentals. No big deal as it was a short walk from the cabin. Had to contact the property manager during our stay as the gas grill ran out of propane. Property manager responded promptly with a replacement, and I was back to cooking in no time. Cabin has good Wi-Fi and 2 TV's, one in living area and other in bedroom. Overall, it was a great stay, and I would rent again.

Great cabin, very peaceful setting.
The cabin is wonderful. Very cozy and quiet. Will visit again. The only minor thing I found possibly incorrect in the listing was there is not a washing machine on the property that I could locate. I didnt need it but it may need to be clarified in the listing. Thanks!

The river was too hiigh and unsettled for fly fishing but we had a relaxing week bird watching from the deck and visiting family in Johnson City. Many thanks to Phil for getting a repairman over to fix the minisplit. We'll be back in the fall!

Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling System
Both HVAC systems in the Magnolia cabin did not work. We were there in late April and the cabin was freezing. A caretaker was called, and he could not get the systems to work. We had to rely on a space heater to get the temperature up to a half way comfortable level. Other than that, things were good.

We love the Magnolia!
We found this place a few years ago and we now stay here every time we're in the area. It's so serene and quiet, yet close enough to town that you can quickly get anything you need. We'll be back next year for our annual trip!

The cabin by the river
We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at your beautiful cabin. The property grounds are very clean and was very private. Everything was just like the listing states. The one lane bridge going to the cabin was like going back in time. The old truck by the entrance was awesome. We were in town for the race at BMS and the drive was about 25 minutes. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We will be back.

Another GREAT stay at the Wautauga River Cabins! Cabin was clean and furnished. Beautiful view of the river. So relaxing and peaceful. And Phil the property manager is the BEST. Always friendly and there to meet any needs that one might have. The Wautauga River cabins have become our home away from home!!

Magnificent Magnolia Cabin
The cabin and property were great. This cabin is pretty new and in great shape. We brought some things that we didn't need based on the VRBO information. The owner Patti Whidden was awesome. VRBO neglected to provide the check-in information 7 days before as shown on the confirmation. I contacted Patti and immediately the VRBO confirmation arrived. Thank goodness for the great owners/hosts like Patty since VRBo seems to be less professional than it should be.
