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!

I just transferred to the area for work. It was a great place to relax, sit on deck and watch the river. I highly recommend if you are wanting to relax and have peace and quiet.

We came to Johnson City visit our son and watch some baseball at Milligan U. We had no idea what a gem we had booked. This cabin was perfect! It was clean, the bed was comfy, it has everything you would need in the kitchen and the covered porch was the best for willing coffee and watching the ducks float down the river. We hope to visit this property again.soon.

The Magnolia cabin was the perfect size and location for us to stay while visiting with friends in the area. It had everything that was needed for a restful stay. The only issue we had was there seemed to be dog hair everywhere, but we also knew dogs were allowed on property. We found clean pillowcases to swap out the others, wiped off surfaces, and cleaned the pans and all was good. We would definitely stay again and have recommended to friends!

This was SO perfect. Just what we needed. Peaceful setting by the Watauga. Close enough to town to get eat/shop/etc., but super quiet cabin. I imagine if the guests in the big cabin were loud or rowdy it might be less so but that absolutely wasn't the case this past weekend. We are saving this listing for sure!

A great little cabin for the two of us. It was a short visit and no fishing becasue the river was still muddy but we love sitting on the deck and watching the water and birds. We'll be back in the spring.

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!

We stayed here since we had a family wedding in town. Needed a place to "get away" from the daily life. We will be staying here again when we come back to Tn. Thank you for sharing your place with us.
