3 Bedroom Cabin in Butler

Welcome to Garrett's Getaway! A charming lakefront cabin nestled on the shores of beautiful Watauga Lake in Butler, Tennessee.
With a private dock, easy lake access, game room, fire pit, and three levels of living space, Garrett's Getaway is the perfect retreat for families and friends looking to relax, reconnect, and enjoy life on the water. Thoughtfully designed with a bedroom and bathroom on each level, the cabin offers both comfort and privacy while keeping the lake just steps away.
The cozy main level features a well-equipped kitchen and inviting living room, creating a warm gathering space after a day of adventure. Curl up by the fire, stream your favorite shows with Sling Blue on the TV, or simply unwind and enjoy the cabin atmosphere. A queen bedroom and full hallway bathroom complete this level.
Upstairs, the lofted bedroom offers a full bed and a private bathroom, while the open loft area provides additional flexible space for reading, relaxing, or catching up on a favorite book.
The lower level is dedicated to fun and entertainment. Challenge friends and family to a game of foosball, enjoy the pinball machine, or gather around the TV. A handcrafted black walnut bar with an ice maker makes it easy to keep drinks and snacks close at hand. The third bedroom is found on this level with a full bath right near by. The living space opens directly onto the patio, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
Outside, a scenic stone pathway winds down to the lake, where the peaceful beauty of Watauga Lake awaits. Spend your days swimming, fishing, paddling, or simply soaking in the views from the private dock and boat slip. As evening falls, gather around the lakeside fire pit, roast marshmallows, share stories, and enjoy the stars reflecting across the water.
Garrett's Getaway is a destination for every season. During the warmer months, enjoy endless days on the lake, and when winter arrives, Beech Mountain Ski Resort is just 18 miles away, offering skiing, snowboarding, and year-round mountain activities.
Whether you're boating on the lake, relaxing by the fire, enjoying a friendly game downstairs, or taking in the tranquil waterfront setting, Garrett's Getaway delivers the perfect blend of mountain charm and lakeside relaxation.

Summary: Upon arriving we could not get ahold of the property management company, we had requested an early entry at noon so we ended up just driving there since I had the code anyways. We were the first to stay so I didn’t think it would be a problem. Well it was, upon multiple messages and emergency calls to “management”, we finally just hung out at the winery nearby to kill time meanwhile my food was sitting in the cooler. When we finally got a call back hours later we were told the code was activated. Well it wasn’t. So we called back with barely a cell signal and were given a different code to get the key out of the lockbox. Upon entering it was clear the views in the listing were disingenuous. House was clean. Dusty but clean. My son ended up having terrible allergies there, either from the dust or the bed linens. The beds are NOT queens. They are a full size which is a far cry from a queen, had I known that I would have swiped right on by this property. I slept on the pullout which was in the living room, not ideal. The pin ball machine needed quarters as well, might want to note that in your listing. It was so off putting to not be able to reach anyone. They didn’t leave many towels, or dish pods, although the kitchen was well stocked with things that were pleasant surprises. The fan hood on the stove also doesn’t work. The lake is quite arid that was a surprise but the boys still managed to have fun. Would not recommend this property and certainly not its management team!
