Watauga Lake -

on a summer day

A great vacation is just a short trip away. .. so close

and yet, so far!

Come enjoy it.

Sunrise Romance/Room 1 - Large, airy, easy-access, king bed, private entrance whirlpool tub, 2 fireplaces

     This large pair of rooms on the first floor was once the family gathering room, a Victorian bathing room, a family breakfast room and a pool room. Today, its 11-foot ceilings and arched-top Victorian flash glass windows are the architectural elements in a wonderfully relaxing room with a bit of traditional flair. The colors are soft yellows with dabs of green and rose. Waking up in this room is very special because of the play of sunlight through the red and blue windows.

     Included are cable TV with premium movie channels and music, CD player with ipod/mp3 dock, candles, incredible chenille robes, snacks and bubble bath.

   The king-size bed is firm, comfortable and within sight of the gas log fireplace in the bedroom. Two wing chairs are perfect for quiet reading. Relax in the generous-size whirlpool tub (yes, it fits two!) with a view of a second gas log fireplace. Both rooms have original hearths, mantles. and the bathroom has the original knee-high wainscoting. All rooms have central heat, ceiling fans and summer air conditioning.

Rare blue glass windows in the bathroom which

has oak floors and a whirlpool tub/shower combo

and fireplace (not shown).
