Ross's Retreat on Watauga Lake

Nestled in the mountains of Northeast Tennessee on Watauga lake, one of the cleanest lakes in the country, great for fishing. Has a boat dock with great views of the mountains and lake.

My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids). But no large gathering or parties
