About Property

Discover a serene escape at Paradise Found, a lovingly remodeled couples retreat nestled along the beautiful waters of the Watauga River in Vilas, North Carolina. This unique log cabin, constructed from hand-hewn hemlock and pine paneling, offers a grounding experience where you are continuously enveloped by the rhythmic sound of flowing waters.

Designed as the perfect romantic getaway, the home features a spacious layout with 1 bedroom, 1 bed (King), and 1 bathroom, accommodating up to 2 guests. The interior is characterized by cathedral pine ceilings and skylights that create a warm, airy atmosphere. You will find oak floors, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and a large master bedroom featuring a hand-hewn hemlock beam ceiling and a flat-screen TV. The living space is thoughtfully accessorized with fine original art, antiques, and old photographs, blending rustic charm with refined comfort.

Outdoor living is a highlight of this property. Guests can step onto the screened-in porch to experience hundreds of feet of waterfalls, boulders, and pools. This space includes a granite dining table and a relaxing sitting area. The porch extends to a large deck offering expansive river views, complete with a gas grill and picnic table for al fresco dining.

Located on a 2.75-acre complex, the property is accessed via a scenic, tree-lined gravel road. The surrounding area is a paradise for nature lovers and anglers, with the privately stocked Watauga River providing exceptional fly fishing for brook, brown, and rainbow trout. The home is conveniently positioned for those wishing to explore the ski slopes of Avery County, the antique shops of Foscoe, the history of Valle Crucis, or the dining and entertainment in Boone and Blowing Rock.
