As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

Growing up, every so often we would get the privilege of going out to someone’s lake house. It was always paired with carefree summer days — the kinds of days when you would play in the water all day long, and at night, chase fireflies. It might be these kinds of fond memories that endear me to lakes, but I know I am not alone. These places are certainly special and well worth seeking out. Today we are featuring a lakefront chalet in Butler, Tennessee, that checks all the boxes when it comes to rustic and charming lake rentals. 

A chalet is a unique structure that is typically found within the mountains, so to find this one nestled into the eastern Tennessee mountains is completely fitting.

It's located right on the shoreline of Watauga Lake in Butler, AKA the town that wouldn’t drown. With miles and miles of the Cherokee National Forest surrounding the area, you will only find one neighbor for this secluded Wautauga getaway.
Inside is almost everything you would expect from a lakeside cabin, but with a couple of surprises.

Everything will feel historic and cozy giving you that same familiar feeling of visiting a summer cabin as a kid. There is, however, a spiral staircase -- and that certainly isn’t something you get to see every day!
This chalet has two bedrooms (one above the spiral staircase) and you can comfortably sleep up to six people inside. There are also two bathrooms -- one with a jetted jacuzzi tub and the other with a double shower head. These amenities are just a few of the surprises that set it apart from other lake cabins.

A spacious deck perfect for entertaining, grilling, or just enjoying some peace and quiet is a great benefit of renting this chalet. Take a couple of stairs down and then you will be on the dock right on the water. Being directly above the water is the best part of staying on the lake, and you won't find a better place than this one right here.
Feel free to jump off the dock and swim in the cool mountain water of Watauga Lake or use the vessels provided for a journey out on the water.

There are two kayaks and one canoe, so you can paddle your way out to the most beautiful lake in East Tennessee. This property is located on its own private peninsula with access to the greater part of the lake.
There is simply something nostalgic and peaceful about staying the night in a lakefront chalet. Wake up early to sip your coffee on the back deck and end the night by the campfire and under a blanket of stars. Every day spent on the shores of Watauga Lake is bound to be a great day.
