About this property
Canyon Dream Waterfront Log Home with Private Dock
Hurricane Helaine Update: Our home is fully back up and running, and businesses in the area are open and ready to welcome you. Watauga Lake Vacations offers the perfect getaway for relaxation and adventure, and we’d love to have you come stay with us and experience the charm of our community once again!
Watauga Lake waterfront log cabin in a secluded cove with private dock, kayaks, paddleboard, paddle boat, and fire pit. Enjoy the water view from the porches and large deck while you rock your worries away. Watch the sunset over the forest, float your way around the quiet cove, or venture out to explore over 180 miles of shoreline. Canyon Dream is hosted by Christie & Donaven at WataugaLakeVacations, come relax, unwind, and reconnect with what you love.
Rest, relax and play on Watauga Lake! Enjoy the outdoor living spaces, take in the lake views, and watch the kids play in the quiet cove from the comfort of the deck and porch. At the water, you will find room to fish, sunbathe, swim, or just unwind. Just outside the secluded cove is a large bay away from the main channel, perfect for water activities. Bring your boat and launch at the nearby Little Milligan boat ramp or rent a boat from a local marina and keep it docked in the private boat slip during your stay. At the fire pit, kick back in the Adirondack chairs and roast s'mores, enjoy a picnic, or play some corn hole. Continue the fun after sunset when the string lights illuminate the backyard, dock, and walkway into the evening hours.

About the host
Hosted by Christie & Donaven
Canyon Dream is hosted by Watauga Lake Vacations which is owned and operated by Christie and Donaven who both agree, there is no better place to be than on Watauga Lake in the Cherokee National Forest. Donaven is a Realtor, vacation rental manager, and the proud dad of two teenagers, a daughter Ella, and a son Donaven. Christie is also a Realtor and teaches 8th grade ELA at Hampton Elementary School. The entire family loves to ride bikes, hike, spend time on the golf range, shoot skeet, jet ski, boat, swim and hang out on the lake or sit out by a campfire.
Why they chose this property
Canyon Dream is hosted by Watauga Lake Vacations and is a lakefront cabin that boasts an easily accessed private dock directly in front of the home, large decks overlooking the secluded cove and mountain ranges. Unlike many vacation homes on Watauga Lake, this isn't a community access area, it is an exclusive private oasis in a quiet neighborhood. Another great benefit of this property is that it is just a 3-minute drive down a paved road to your large, flat, driveway with ample parking for vehicles and boat trailers. There are no steep drop offs or narrow gravel roads to navigate, and guests won't need a 4-wheel drive or SUV regardless of the weather. Any vehicle can easily access the property, helping to make this a prime, low stress destination. The best way to get around the lake is with a pontoon. If you're in a hurry, we recommend jet skis. If you're driving instead, leave some extra time as the roads follow the lake making for a scenic ride. Bear in mind, the locals are not in a hurry. Boone, NC is 39 minutes away; Johnson City, TN is just 38 minutes, and both are abundant with activities. Elizabethton is just a short 23 minute drive for quick dining, shopping, ice cream etc. In addition to all of the lake activities, guests can also enjoy the Appalachian Trail, Roan Mountain State Park, Sugar Hollow Retreat, a winery, and lots of snow skiing, tubing, and snowboarding options nearby. We provide guests with many local recommendations for activities, food and drink.
Canyon Dream is located off a well maintained 2-lane state highway. The property is just off the paved road and offers a very large parking area with ample room to turn around or park a boat trailer. There is plenty of lighting for the parking area if arriving at the property after dark.
