Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Watauga River

The A-frame Bella Vista has a Marvelous and stunning view, and precisely as owner, Alicia, describes as a ‘Million’ dollar view. This cute space is a must see, stay, and enjoy inside and out! I fully recommend a stay for more than a night or two. Easy to find, drive is steep, but manageable, beautiful deck, yard, great parking, and extremely close to town with wonderful shops, coffee, quaint restaurants, and easy driving to the main highway, gas, groceries, driving through and among the mountains, with many places to visit. Many local artisans. This special place offers a comfortable and peaceful place to rest, relax, and feel rejuvenated and blessed all at the same time. Alicia was extremely quick to help with texts and communication, even going out of the way to make sure everything was ready and willing to go the extra mile. The washer and dryer were extremely convenient, along with the all amenities. The deck is a special places for coffee, meals, reading and more.

The house is clean, the beds are very comfy, albeit a little high off the ground for short people. That said, high beds means no dogs on the beds, and I appreciate that. Good hot water in the shower. Don is helpful and communicative when you have questions.

Great host. Home was extremely clean. Great attention to detail. This is a nice quiet neighborhood. Communicates quickly. Would definitely stay again.

Absolutely beautiful view from the front porch. I could have sat there all day. The host did a great job preserving the rustic feeling while incorporating modern amenities. So many of the tiny details reminded me of visiting my Grandparents back in the day.

Hugo's place was cozy, fun, and yet peaceful. From the sun room, I could see nature and the Hard Rock Casino Hotel across. It was a combination of nature and city life, which I hadn't experienced before. We really appreciate it having everything we needed within just a few blocks. We will definitely come back if we are ever around Bristol again!

Cozy and adorable bungalow. Thoughtful touches and updated tastefully. Awesome backyard space, my pup loved it. Super close to many restaurant options! All around just a great overnight stay. We would love to return and maybe stay a bit longer next time.

If you think to yourself I wonder if this air bnb has xyz it does. The host is very proactive in having anything you might need at your fingertips. The kitchen is very well stocked any quality items. You might ask yourself - will I be able to hear cars in the road? And to be honest we hardly even noticed them. Having noise machines in each room was also a nice touch. We loved that it was close to Tweetsie and Blowing Rock. If you have kids you gotta check out the memorial park in downtown Blowing Rock. Our kids played there almost everyday after dinner.

Kelly and Caleb’s vacation home was an absolute dream for our family! We had the best time and were able to enjoy some peace and quiet and we also enjoyed exploring surrounding areas. The home was cozy, clean, and peaceful.. I loved that it was family friendly!! Thank you both for allowing us to stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Matt’s cabin! The cabin was clean, cozy, and perfectly suited for our getaway. Matt was fantastic at communicating, he responded quickly and provided great recommendations about the area, which made our trip even more enjoyable. We’d definitely stay here again. Thanks, Matt!

A great location if you are doing activities at Beech Mountian resort, very walkable. They were very responsive and provide very good info for dining and activities.

The tree top cabin was a nice place to get away for a vacation to the area. It sits close to Boone as well as a few other small towns. It’s a perfect place to get away in a quiet area. We made sure to get our moneys worth from the pool and other amenities in the area. I would definitely recommend this cabin in the trees to others and could easily see myself booking it again.

Great cabin! Perfect for what we needed on our AT hike. Close to the trail heads, clean, and cozy

Great peaceful place to stay. We had an absolute blast while we were there. It is absolutely beautiful. Lance was a great host and made you feel right at home. You would never even know he was there if he hadn’t come out and met you the place is absolutely beautiful if you’re looking for a peaceful place to stay, you can’t go wrong staying here. It is beautiful. Words can’t describe how beautiful it was there and what was even more amazing two jets flew right over where we were staying at at a very low altitude. I meant words can’t describe when you see that and also the wildlife was everywhere. A deer walked up within 20 feet of us. We loved our stay and we were going back in October.

This place surpassed our expectations! It was cozy, comfortable and we felt right at home due to our host’s warm hospitality. They went above and beyond! The pool area is beautiful and the furniture is so comfortable. The views are spectacular!!! We loved watching the chickens and enjoyed the farm fresh eggs. We also loved watching the horses in surrounding fields, the family’s horse, Lily, and donkey, Lucy. The flower garden was so beautiful. When I expressed how much I loved the hydrangeas and double pink chiffon Rose of Sharon, the hosts readily offered to let me take some cuttings with me. I also was allowed to cut some fresh flowers and lemon Basil. I was just so happy with the entire family farm experience…so relaxing and a breath of fresh air! My first Airbnb experience; but, certainly not my last if I travel again. So much better than a hotel! I honestly want to visit here again!! So thankful for this experience!! Thank you so much for everything!!!

SPECTACULAR. 10/10 recommended to anyone. Elliot and Kylie were fantastic hosts super attentive and responsive and caring of every need. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in such a beautiful home. The pictures do not do this home justice for how beautiful it is.

Very nice peaceful place, great for a family get together. 35 minutes to Boone. Beautiful home. We really enjoyed our time there. Would definitely recommend it. Host is very responsive.

I cannot recommend this place enough!! First off the privacy and the view was spectacular. We were greeted by the cutest dogs! We were able to rest and enjoy the fire pit while lying on the hammock. And the host took us around to see his goats, horses and dogs! It was so enjoyable! I will recommend it to anyone who needs to escape from the city life!

Beautiful property, easy access and walkable trails. House is immaculate- beds and bedding make for a restful rest. Several running streams - outside deck overlooks a babbling brook. This my 3rd visit - love this Cabin.

Due to the floods last year the driveway looked rough at midnight when we arrived, but it was fine. There were activities in the cabin for littles, which we didn't need, but it would be great for families with littles for sure. The kitchen was supplied with pans for cooking, dishes and silverware for eating. There was a blanket for the dogs so they could sit and sleep with us like at home. The porch overlooks the river and the sound of the water was super relaxing.

Had an amazing stay at this place! The views were stunning, the air was fresh, and the place was spotless. Loved the peaceful surroundings — perfect for a relaxing getaway. Host was friendly and responsive. Would definitely come back!

I had a wonderful stay at Robert's place. Such a beautiful setting. I loved sitting on the deck listening to the creeks. Will definitely stay again when I'm in the area.

We highly enjoyed the cabin. So close to great hikes and restaurants. Cabin was very peaceful. We loved the porch and listening to the great variety of birds. Cabin was very comfortable and had everything we needed.

It's a beautiful spot, a quiant, older style house in a peaceful area. The host was very communicative and patiently answered all of my questions and concerns quickly, and remedied an issue he couldnt have anticipated expediently. The house was clean, homey, comfortable, and well-stocked with the things we needed. My favorite part was the back porch in the mornings! I will definitely add this property to my favorites and be back to visit.

Great place to stay in a smaller neighborhood just outside the little bit of hustle and bustle that is Elizabethton. Great location to town, 5 - 10 minutes from anything you could need. Christina was a great host! Reached out just often enough to not be annoying. 😂. She was very responsive as well when I had questions, and even allowed a couple of modifications to our stay. Couldn't ask for more. Side note: the only downside (and by no means Christina's 'fault') was that her neighbors have very reactive dogs & unfortunately, my dogs are reactive as well. Just means we didn't get to enjoy the backyard as much as we would have liked. But again, absolutely not something she can/could control. 5/5 stay.
