Property Description
The Hemlock Cabin is part of our 'rustic lodge'. Our lodge is located on the banks of the beautiful Watauga River, halfway between Johnson City and Elizabethton. The lodge was designed to resemble a horse barn and sits on 5 acres with over 600 feet of river frontage and consists of 3 cabins.
The downstairs Hemlock cabin has over 900 square feet of living space. The cabin has a queen bed, 2 super twin beds which can be made into a King bed, cat napper sofa, two full baths, along with a full kitchen and living area. The Hemlock cabin can accommodate four comfortably.
All linens are included -- all you have to do is pick up some food and bring your personal items -- all other items will be provided for you! The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, cookware, toaster, coffee maker and microwave.
The cabin has heat/air conditioning, ceiling fan, flat screen satellite TV, DVD/VCR, gas fireplace, central laundry facility and gas & charcoal grills.
There is also a full hook-up RV pad with 50 amp service, located on the river. (extra cost) The RV lot has a private deck that overlooks the river.
Very convenient to both Johnson City and Elizabethton (10 minutes) as well as Roan Mountain, Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain and Hawksnest ski resorts (45-60 minutes). Immediately adjacent to the lodge is the Watauga River which is about 100 feet wide and is home to some of the finest Trout fishing in the Eastern United States. Trout species in the Watauga River are Rainbow, Brook and Brown as well as several types of Bass and various non-game species. This lower part of the Watauga has been designated as the 'Quality Trout Zone.'
We have other cabins available please call for dates and prices.

Family Vacation
We love staying here, we had a big group and reserved 3 of the cabins. Beautiful spot to break bread together and tell stories, enjoying company with the sounds of the river going by. Always wonderful, and great communication with the hosts!

The barn
All three apartments in the barn were fantastic. Clean, comfortable, and have everything you need. Not to mention the beautiful scenery.

Great experience!
Asheville Fly Fishing Company's guests enjoyed another great fly fishing trip on the Watauga River. Watauga River Cabins is a great lodging location for our guests and AFFC includes fishing and private chef options.

Totally Loved this place!!!
The Watauga River Cabins is a truly unique gem! The photos don't do it justice... it was larger than expected and the views of the river with fly fishing float boats causing by was spectacular. We were in town to visit my brother and his family for the Nascar race at Bristol, which was a short drive and came back to grill some steaks on the grill and have a campfire on the large back patio area while soaking in the scenery. I also fly fish and we were able o book a float trip with High Country Angler in Gray, TN and caught and released a few dozen trout one morning. We will def be coming back to WRC the next time we plan a visit! Max

We have stayed at this property for several years to fish in Eastern TN. This is such a great place to stay as it is secluded but close to John City.We really love staying here!
