We all played various rounds of card games on it. The other area we enjoyed about this lofty scenic chalet, was its front lanai overlooking the lake!And just around the corner from it we enjoyed using their gas/charcoal grill! Just a little further down from the grill was the outdoor fish carved metal barrel for bon fires which we enjoyed each night we there!Absolutely marvelous arrangement of indoor and outdoor amenities for those kind of activities!Of course, the one area that we’d like to enjoy on our next visit, will be the use of their boat dock several steps below this Mystical Majestic Loft! ##### Charles J.

The house was super clean and had everything we needed. We had 8 adults and make sure whoever sleeps in the pullout sofa is a night owl or enjoys the morning sun- The wall to wall windows were fantastic providing excellent views of the lake. Lake access was great. There was plenty of water to swim and the water is clean and refreshing. You will get your cardio by climbing the 144 steps back to the house!! We rented a boat for a few days and the folks at mallard cove were fantastic to work with Overall- the cabin was great and we would recommend to others. ##### Trevor S M.

Driveway was steep with two very sharp turns that my hubby mastered. Morning coffee on the patio is a must! Would definitely come back.

This Cabin had everything a family needed. It was probably the best stocked property I’ve staid in. From the hotel like travel soaps/shampoos to the stocked coffee bar. Both of which were unexpected but came in clutch. There was plenty of other amenities including the very large hot tub, which was very clean and in great condition, the pool table and card table. The owner communication was definitely above par. They made great and knowledgeable recommendations on boat launches and marinas nearby and were very understanding with some other last minute requests. Even though the stairs down to the dock were steep, that does little to diminish the great things this Cabin has to offer. Highly recommend staying here. ##### Johnathon E.

The house itself is very well appointed, clean, and welcoming. The game room is fantastic and there’s plenty of games and DVDs for indoor entertainment. The coffee station is a nice bonus for anyone that wants to indulge. We very much appreciated all the little details! The house is very close to the recreation areas of Lake Watuga where you can swim and enjoy a small beach area. I suppose if you rent a boat or kayaks it is even more enjoyable (we didn’t.) We also enjoyed visiting Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls, and the alpine mountain coaster in Banner Elk. These are all within an hour of the house and were fun to visit. We also enjoyed a great little restaurant near Linville Falls (The Tin Trout). This home is in one of the most scenic, beautiful areas we’ve ever seen! Christy was easily accessible to and accommodating to our requests. There are some cons to the house which I wish we knew before booking so we hope to inform others: First, the road up to the house is very steep with switch backs and our Ford F150 had to do a few multi-point turns in 4 wheel drive. While the view of the lake is amazing, the access to it is very difficult. The steps down are more than most can handle. The pictures are deceiving. You will not be going back and forth from the lake to the house. You can also drive down, but again, our truck barely made the turns. Smaller cars might be ok. ##### Kenneth L.
