The location was great! The dock was new and didn’t have a ladder to get out of water and this was a big problem.

Lakeside getaway

We loved the Bass Bungalow! This place is a gem. Clean, cozy and the views are awesome! Such a peaceful, quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed sitting on the porch soaking in the beautiful mountains and Lake Watauga. Our dog enjoyed swimming and had easy access to enter the lake. It was a perfect getaway for us.

Peaceful retreat

Some of our favorite moments were sitting by the fire pit as the evening settled in and watching the geese and fish from the deck in the early morning. Quiet, simple, and just what we needed.

No kayaks as listed and other issues

We would have brought our kayaks but listing said they’re available in dock-nope, just an old canoe. We shared our kitchen with a mouse (somewhere). There were killed bugs on ceilings and walls. Pillows were next to nothing stuffing wise, sheets from Dollar Tree. Upside-beautiful views, safe cabin, everyone in all cabins were lovely and friendly. The cabin is ok if you don’t mind no frills. We will definitely go back to the area but will stay in a different VRBO.

Old

Was not what we expected. Left one day early due to tub and shower being old and shower head real loose. Appliances need updated. Location is great, but wasn’t what I expected for a VRBO rental property.

Great getaway

The lake was beautiful. The location of the cabin was perfect. The dock was just a short hop from the cabin. The dock could use some up keep ie.. broken boards screws coming out. One small thing is the welcome book could use an update… there is not a dish washer in the cabin. The local store is not there anymore it is now the mercantile. All and all it was the perfect getaway

Lake view ❤️

My husband and I rented the place since we have family in the area and love this lake. This is our first stay at the cabin and this side of the lake. It was nothing short of gorgeous. The view it self is amazing and the cabin has everything we needed. We also loved that it had the dock and canoe as well. We will definitely be back!

Anniversary getaway

Could not be more pleased with our stay. I cannot express how beautiful the view was. Coffee and all of our meals were enjoyed right on the large porch. And our nights ended at the firepit. Cabin was fully stocked with everything you could need and the owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Highly recommended...especially at this time of the year when leaves were just turning. The perfect getaway for our Anniversary.
