About this place

Skipping Stones Getaway - Hot Tub, Private Dock, & Fall Foliage at Watauga Lake

Immerse yourself in the vibrant colors of fall at this Watauga Lake waterfront retreat, hosted by Christie and Donaven at Watauga Lake Vacations. Nestled in a secluded cove, the property offers a private dock, hot tub, and fire pit surrounded by a tapestry of changing leaves. Enjoy the crisp autumn air from the wraparound porches, with breathtaking views of the lake and forest, perfect for relaxing in a swing or rocker as you take in the fall foliage.

Book with confidence by requesting our Virtual Tour, and know exactly what to expect when you arrive.

Rest, relax and play on Watuaga 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 wraparound porches. 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 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 and dock into the evening hours.

Getting around

Skipping Stones Getaway is located just off of a well traveled two lane road and is on a paved road. Four wheel drive or navigating steep driveways will not be necessary. During the winter, the main road is plowed first and kept up regularly.

You'll want to grocery shop before you arrive but there is a Dollar General 8 minutes away for any last minute items.
