The Watauga River

The clear cool waters of the Watauga River flow past the front yard of The Baird House. Here, one can enjoy flyfishing, tubing, laying on a rock soaking up the sun or simply sitting on the grassy bank with one's toes in the water. It is not uncommon to see a hawk swoop down below the treeline and snatch up a fish or to observe deer cautiously crossing the river. During each unique season of the year our guests relish the spectacular beauty of the Watauga River.

“What a treat to find your charming inn along the river! I feel as though we are staying in Emily Dickinson's room – its spaciousness, its Victorian air and the cozy fireplace.”

“To find peace of mind and serenity for the soul – this is the place to be! No doctor could have prescribed anything better than this wonderful place. Thank you – my life needed slowing down.”
