Watauga Hotel

"This is the pioneer hotel and is at the extreme north end of the village, about two miles from Green Park. It has undergone several remodeling and is now a comfortable place, with ample grounds and the finest spring of water on the mountain. 

Besides, there are the Brady House, the Stewart House, and numerous boarding houses, all open for the accommodation of the five-thousand visitors annually flocking to this favored region for rest and recuperation." [North Carolina and Its Resources. State Board of Agriculture. Raleigh: Winston. M.I. & J.C. Stewart, Public Printers and Binders, 1896.]
