Garretts Getaway at Watauga Lake - privacy, lakefront
Welcome to Garrett's Getaway, a rustic lakefront cabin on beautiful Watauga Lake in Butler, Tennessee. With three levels of living space, each offering its own bedroom and bath, this retreat is designed for both comfort and privacy while keeping you close to the water's edge.
The cozy main level features a welcoming kitchen and living room, perfect for gathering after a day on the lake. The living room TV is equipped with Sling Blue services, so you can catch up on your favorite shows or enjoy a movie night. A full bathroom is conveniently located in the hallway. Upstairs, the lofted bedroom includes its own bathroom, which also opens to the loft for additional flexibility.
On the lower level, you'll find a fun entertainment room complete with a TV, a beautiful black walnut bar with an ice maker, foosball table, and pinball machine. This space opens directly to a patio, creating a great flow for indoor-outdoor relaxation. A full bath is located in the hallway on this level for easy access.
Step outside to enjoy a stone path leading down to the lake, where the peaceful setting of Watauga surrounds you. Right along the lake, enjoy a firepit with two benches and have s'mores next to the water and under the stars. Please note: the dock was damaged during Hurricane Helene, but a brand-new dock has now been installed.
In the winter months, you'll be just 18 miles from Beech Mountain Ski Resort, making this the perfect year-round getaway for both lake lovers and snow seekers. Whether you're gathering around the fireplace, playing games downstairs, or soaking in the natural beauty of the lakefront, Garrett's Getaway offers a true mountain-lake escape.
