Great stay!

The wrap-around porch offers the most beautiful and relaxing view imaginable. All we could hear were birds and a few fish jumping in the water. Carol is a great communicator and truly cares that her guests have everything they need. The master bed is super comfy and the kitchen is well equipped. Be ready for a steep curvy driveway. Very doable, but just a heads up for those who fear heights like me! Great stay with easy check in and out. Be sure to keep an eye out the kitchen window for deer in the upper pasture. Beautiful!

Gorgeous Property!

The location of the house was perfect. We enjoyed using the kayaks, canoe and paddle board provided. We also rented a boat for one day to explore the lake and were able to easily dock it. Having a small refrigerator down by the dock was very convenient. We also enjoyed making snores at the fire pit. There was plenty of firewood available. The house was very clean and spacious and the kitchen was fully stocked. The front porch was the perfect spot for reading and enjoying our morning coffee while looking out at the lake. Carol is an excellent host who made sure our stay was perfect from start to finish. We highly recommend this property!

Great stay at cute little house on the water

My family and I had a great stay! We stayed here to enjoy the water and waterside fire pit and for some of our group to go skiing. The slopes were about 40-60 minutes away so completely doable. The hosts were very friendly and even helped us feel more comfortable when we made a request. We all had a wonderful time!

The property is simply fantastic. It was not only beautiful but was also very spacious. We had 7 in our group and never felt crowded. The owners made us feel welcomed and were always available for questions and advice. We loved the place so much that we are already planning a trip back in the summer.

Watauga lake

We loved the location of the property. Lake access was great. We loved being able to bring a boat to the dock provided . The upstairs bedroom facing the lake could really use some blinds , the sun beams in early in the morning with no curtains or blinds . We had two preteens staying in the downstairs area . I did not feel like the air conditioning was working properly in the downstairs area . It always seemed to be hot downstairs. We loved having the kayaks and paddle boards to use.

Lovely Week

Hilltop Hideaway was a lovely home that housed our family this week. We were a family group of 9, with ages ranging 7-73. The lakefront access is exceptional with a large covered dock, kayaks, a canoe and paddle board. We used the lakefront fire pit, graciously furnished with Adirondack chairs and GOOD firewood several times. The location is remote, but we loved being at the end of a channel.

Wonderful house. Quit and peaceful. All my kids had a great time. So nice to have two separate areas. Downstairs great for older kids who stay up late. Upstairs for early to bed and early to rise kids. We loved the dock with all the water crafts. My kids did hours of fishing of the dock! Carol was easy to communicate with. Great place we hope to return!

Great getaway at the lake

My family loved the breakdown of bedrooms and ratio to bathrooms The dock had several watersports and a great area for a bonfire. Three separate dining tables and an awesome kitchen to cook for everybody. Extra bonus was a bird had laid her eggs in a nest behind a pillow on a chair on front porch. Love that nature was so close. We will absolutely be back.

Beautiful House, but a few bad things

The lake house was magnificent. The hosts were very helpful. They answered every question that was asked, they left out towels, and hand soap to be used, and every bed was furnished with pillows and blankets for my group and I. I only had two complaints, the first was that, as the listing description states, the house as no cell service and we relied on the WIFI in the house for any task such as loading directions in our phones to venture into town. With several people accessing the WIFI at the same time, it bogged down becoming unusable when one person was making a phone call. The second and less serious complaint was that the pull out bed downstairs had a horizontal bar that poked into the ribs of the person that was sleeping on it.

Excellent lake getaway Thanksgiving week 2022

The lake house was spacious (3 bedrooms plus a basement apartment). many amenities and well equipped. The grounds were well kept. The firepit by the lake dock side was fantastic to warm up in the evening roasting marshmallows. The area is amazingly beautiful and peaceful. A great place to escape and recharge your batteries. No cellphone reception but satellite TV/internet. Carol was very helpful and responsive. Overall, a great time. Will repeat.

Absolutely beautiful

Beautiful home! My family and I truly enjoyed our stay. We loved the front porch, the fire pit, and hanging out at the dock with the kayaks and paddle boards. Only two things the hike to lake (well back up the hill) is brutal but we got use to it and the up stairs bedrooms are a little warm. My son said there wasn’t much AC up there. But we loved spending our time together in this gorgeous home on the lake we will definitely be back.
