About this home
The rarest of all riverfront properties - this is the quintessential Valle Crucis log cabin on the Watauga River! Being sold turnkey, fully furnished (minus a few exceptions). Trout fishing right outside your front door! The sound of the river and the view of the river will make you never want to leave. Absolutely immaculate cabin with manicured grounds leading right to the rivers edge. When you put a cabin on the Watauga River and combine it with this incredible location it makes for a truly once in a lifetime opportunity. Makes a fantastic vacation rental or perhaps you might decide to keep it all for your friends and family! Two bedroom house with a extra bonus room and full bath upstairs. Large living room with cathedral ceilings, stone fireplace all the way up, beautiful logs and wood floors throughout most of the cabin. Lots of glass allows you to see the river flowing no matter where you are! You will fall in love with this home as soon as you walk on the deck. Located minutes to the original Mast Store and Valle Crucis Park, the location simply couldn't be better. Come and see this cabin before it's gone.
