Vacation rentals with lake access in Johnson County

we drove up for a wedding and happened to be there in the middle of the hurricane. Even though we had no power, we were still able to communicate with Brooke because she walked to the end of her road to get service to message us. If that's not a great host, I don't know what is. Thank you so much for being available even during the worst conditions to help answer questions we had. The Airbnb was beautiful and I even saw a couple deer which made me happy. Definitely recommend this place and we will be going back in better conditions.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Perfect Getaway! We had an amazing stay at this cabin in Butler, TN! Everything was spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. The peaceful, quiet atmosphere made it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The mountain views were stunning, and the sunsets were absolutely breathtaking, a highlight of every evening. If you're looking for a calm, scenic escape surrounded by nature, this is the place. Highly recommend and would love to return!

This property was perfect for my family to enjoy our vacation by the lake while visiting family. loved every second of our stay.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Skipping Stones Getaway with our family of five. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a peaceful retreat—surrounded by beautiful views and the kind of quiet that instantly helps you unwind. Christie and Donaven have thought of everything. The house was fully stocked with all the essentials (and then some). From extra phone charging cables to those little items you might forget to pack, it was clear they’ve put a lot of care and attention into making guests feel at home. We spent our days out on the lake kayaking, soaking up the calm and beauty of the surroundings, and our evenings enjoying quality time together around the fire. It was the perfect mix of fun and relaxation. Skipping Stones Getaway is the kind of place you want to return to. Highly recommend for anyone looking to slow down, recharge, and make lasting memories in a truly lovely setting.

The SOHO Bungalow was perfect!! So nice and clean! Much nicer than a hotel. They go out of their way to make you feel at home. We were in town for the NHRA races and we will be coming back-we hope to be able to stay here every time!!

If you're looking to unplug and get away from it all, this mountain cabin is exactly what you need. Tucked far off the beaten path, it's surrounded by stunning scenery and just a short walk from the lake. The cabin itself is cozy yet spacious, with one bedroom but plenty of sleeping space for a group (we had 8 adults and were very comfortable). It’s stocked with all the essentials for a relaxing stay, no need to go anywhere unless you really want to. Would recommend taking extra toilet paper and paper towels. If you're someone who likes to dine out, be prepared to drive. Restaurants and stores are quite a distance away, so plan ahead and bring what you need. But honestly, that's part of the charm, it's a place meant for staying in, slowing down, and enjoying the quiet. The deck deserves a special mention, it’s hands-down the most relaxing part of the property. Whether you're sipping a drink, reading a book, or just soaking in the view, it's the perfect place to unwind.

We had a wonderful stay at Tawnya’s place on Watauga Lake! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel right at home—warm, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. The home itself is perched right on the lake with stunning mountain views all around. We especially loved the lakeside gazebo and cozy evenings by the fire pit. It was peaceful, beautifully kept, and more than met our expectations. Tawnya checked-in occasionally to make sure we were comfortable during our stay. We’ll most certainly be back—highly recommended!

Our stay was nothing but fantastic. A beautiful quaint home in the mountains. Fenced in yard was perfect for our two beagles. We loved our stay, and want to come back. Lynn and Traci were great, and understanding. We loved our this Airbnb and hope to make this a recurring trip

A great location with almost immediate access to skiing and hiking trails! We didn’t use the amenities while there but did see many families enjoying them. A 15 minute ride to Boone and all that area offers was a plus. This was a quiet, corner location with a soothing view of a pond on the grounds out all of the windows. A good sized space to wind down after a full day of adventures!

The home was clean and really well organized. The layout of the beds and the rooms worked great for the number of people that were listed. Overall Chris was a great host and made our stay for skiing very cozy. We even had snow come in on the day we were checking out and the roads in the facility and the town roads were kept up really well. I’m not guaranteeing that you won’t get stuck in a 2wd vehicle, but the roads were kept up and I felt confident.

We enjoyed our stay! The space was very clean and the location was wonderful. The view from the deck was beautiful. Another plus is that we were able to pull our pontoon on the shore and leave it for the weekend. Kayla was a phenomenal host - very friendly, welcoming, helpful and responsive! Would recommend!

Wonderful home to stay in! it is way bigger than we expected and was perfect after a long day of travel to relax in. Both bedrooms are very comfortable. Cheryl was wonderful and very accommodating for us!

Wonderful stay with a wonderful host. The area is really nice with tons of stuff to do!

John is “the” host! We had a great time in his property. The property has everything you need to have a great time. You can fish, swim in the pond, play pool, etc. John takes really good care of you, cannot ask for a better host!

We had a great stay!! Everything was just as described! Perfect distance to sugar and beech for skiing! We hope to be back soon!

Mariann was great, super nice. The place was really cute! Had everything you needed and more.. the bed was really comfy! My husband & I go away on a motorcycle, this time we were stuck in rain a few nights, so it was awesome having a washer & dryer right there as well! They have a nice little deck, was nice chilln out there in the am figuring on the days plan, or the rainy nights♡ A little recommendation Sur 81, breakfast and or dinner, you won't be disappointed! (we hit them up 3x's) Sisters Cafe & Gifts another great place! Mi Puerto also very good!

This place was exactly what we needed it to be. I would definitely stay here again.

Maria’s mountain house was lovely and suited us perfectly for a mountain getaway weekend. She was very responsive and provided clear communication leading up to check in and we were even able to check in a bit early. The space was very homey and extremely peaceful. There is access to a lot of hiking and outdoor spots nearby. The community also has access to tennis and pickleball courts for a small fee. There is a cute coffee truck a short drive away and nice streets for walking the dog!

We had such a great stay! We came up to visit Grayson Highlands and enjoyed the private solace of this home. We really appreciated how clean and well maintained the home was, and how many small creature comforts were considered, including a well stocked kitchen, a fireplace (bring firewood!), and a home set up well to make the most of the beautiful surroundings. The place is very remote, so be sure to stock up on food, coffee, firewood, etc. before you arrive! Aaron was a great host, and went out of his way to fix an issue before our arrival. Oh, and the view from the very top of the driveway is worth the hike, especially when the AM fog is still settled in the valley. :-)

Perfect spot for our stay. Home was cozy and just like pictures. Would definitely recommend!!

Beautiful house in the woods! The sun room is amazing, especially when it rained and at night (put all the windows up), every bed was very comfortable, well stocked and needed nothing, my kids want to stay here next time, all the amenities at the community area are perfect! Jeremy is very responsive and helpful! Just a perfect, peaceful, fun getaway! Highly recommend!

It's a really charming, comfortable, clean, and quiet place. It has the best kitchen equipment of any place I've stayed: a large set of dish- and glassware, pots and pans, plush towels, comfortable bed. The host communicated well and quickly. I would definitely return.

Cute, comfortable, and convenient. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a nice stay! Karen was quick to reply with any questions. The house was clean and the perfect size for our stay. Thank you Karen!
