2 Bedroom Cabin in Butler

WELCOME to 822 Sugar Hollow
Welcome to your private mountain and lakeside retreat -- new, peaceful, and located on the southeast side of Watauga Lake with full access to a boat ramp and small floating dock. My three sons and I are happy to host you and hope you enjoy this special place as much as we do.

The three-level cabin was built in 2020, of hand-crafted wood and stone, with windows everywhere to let you take in the beautiful surroundings. There are three decks: one on each level and two that span the length of the home. The propane grill and fireplace are on the main-level deck, which wraps around to a front porch. On all levels, there are stunning views of the property, its ponds, streams running down to the lake, and the mountain ridgeline beyond.

From the cabin’s quiet decks, you can see the lake only a few hundred yards away, and you have semi-private, full-time access (along with seven other homeowners in the Sugar Cove neighborhood) to the Sugar Cove boat ramp and floating dock. Bring your boat, wave runners, canoes, or kayaks! Watauga Lake is one of the cleanest in the United States, and affords multiple recreational opportunities, including outstanding lake trout and bass fishing. The main public recreational area is about a 15-minute drive from the cabin. For hikers, the Appalachian Trail crosses Route 321 about twenty minutes’ drive from the cabin and numerous other trailheads are an equally short drive away. Roan Mountain and one of the most beautiful stretches of the Appalachian Trail is a 30-40 minute drive south and 4,000 feet of elevation up from where the cabin sits at about 2,000 feet.

Inside, the cabin easily sleeps 8-10, depending on who’s comfortable sleeping next to whom.

Upper Level: one king bed master suite with a balcony looking towards the lake and a 43” Smart TV, plus a queen-sized sleeper sofa in the separate, adjacent loft.
Main Level: second king bed master suite (new box springs & mattress in February 2022), with a spa tub and shower. The large, modern kitchen with granite countertops, gas fireplace, and a half bath powder room are located on the Main Level. The main level also features a Wi-Fi enabled 55-inch Smart TV. You can access the main wraparound deck, with gas grill, gas firepit, and outdoor seating from this level.
Lower Level: one (new, January 2022) queen bed with a twin XL trundle, and a new (March 2024) queen-sized bed. The Lower Level is a perfect retreat, complete with its own full bath, a sitting area with several chairs, and full laundry room. We also keep at least one sturdy sleeping cot on the Lower Level, in case of last-minute additions of friends and family to your traveling group. Access to the garage and lower deck is from this level.

You may not want to leave once you’re settled here, relaxing on one of the decks, listening to the creeks and springs alongside the cabin, which feed into a network of natural ponds and then down to the lake, or enjoying the new (February 2022) stone fire pit that my sons and I built with the help of a local artisan—no need to bring your own firewood, as the property naturally has plenty. If you do venture out, Elizabethton, Tennessee is a 30-40 minute drive west, and Boone and Banner Elk, North Carolina (including the Beech Mountain and Sugar Mountain ski areas), are about the same drive times southeast and south, respectively. On the eastern side of the lake, there are also two wineries, Watauga Lake Winery and Villa Nove Vineyards (check for updated business hours).

Multiple marinas ring the lake. Pioneer Landing marina and campground, to the northeast, and Mallard Cove marina, to the west, are the closest to the cabin. Boats of various shapes and sizes are available for rent at Fish Springs Marina, a few miles west of the Hwy 321/67 intersection.

Summary: This was our second summer staying at the cabin and again we had a great time. There was a minor issue with the upstairs A/C unit not working. We let our host know and he quickly had a temp unit sent out and set up until the unit could be fixed. We have no complaints and had a wonderful stay. I would definitely recommend a stay here and I’m sure we will be back again.

Summary: Great property for our multi-family trip. Our kids loved the decks, and the kitchen was very well appointed. The roads were a little tricky to navigate at night but no problem at all during the day! Dave was super accommodating and had great communication. Super clean, and comfy beds.

Summary: We attended graduation at nearby ETSU. This cabin is perfect to privacy and relaxation. We had a big family dinner after the graduation. Saturday morn we took a scroll around the area and admired the beautiful view. Took the kayak out for a ride on the lake. We spend the day playing games, relaxing at the firepit with bottomless margaritas. At one point I had to text the owner with a question and he responded almost immediately. Great customer service! We loved everything about this cabin and location. We are planning a winter trip back to this cabin.

Summary: This property is like staying in a treehouse but with all the modern amenities. There is plenty of space to spread out and relax. The changing views from the back deck are beautiful. We saw lots of deer. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare delicious meals.
