Family reunion

The property far exceeded my expectations. There were eight of us in our party ages 35ish to 78. We all were very comfortable on the property, from grilling, to cornhole, to fires in the fire pit. The kitchen accommodated several of us scurrying around to get meals ready. With so much supplied by the host you won’t want for anything. The deck was a gathering place for coffee, drinks and conversation. The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. You will not go wrong in booking this house from Betty and Dan, gracious hosts who recommended a restaurant for us that we thoroughly enjoyed. We were in Bristol for the NASCAR races. We went on Friday for Xfinity, but chose to stay at the property on Saturday, we just couldn’t tear ourselves away.

Great for Groups

We were three couples with kids in the area for a baseball tournament and the property was perfect for our needs! The boys loved fishing in the river on their downtime and we all enjoyed hanging out by the fire pit at night and cornhole tournaments (we brought our own boards with us). The hosts are amazing, quick to respond, house is well stocked with all the essentials, and allows for you to have a stay you will enjoy. Groceries are only about 15 minutes away, so close enough for us to plan accordingly. After long, hot days on ball fields, this was perfect to unwind and relax, cook our own meals, and have some fun as families… things you cannot replicate in a hotel. We will be back.

Great home with a beautiful view

The house was as advertised - clean and well-stocked. The check-in & communication with Betty was easy & quick. What made the trip for us was the incredible view out of the back of the house! Note that there are a few rental cabins in very close proximity to the house, which are not shown in pictures or otherwise referenced.

Even better than advertised

This lovely home was cleaner than any place I have ever stayed- absolutely spotless. The property is dreamy, the views and access to the river made a it so special. The grounds are very well maintained too. The fishing was hit too. One of our group did a load of wash forgetting he had cash in his pocket. We left before he remembered. The host checked for us and found the cash and immediately made plans to return it. SO NICE!!! You’ll be glad you booked this place. We hope to go back soon.

At home

Traveling from NY in December is hard to plan ahead. Without even asking for a travel forgiveness, Betty offered it up in the very beginning. I stayed 9 days and really could have stayed longer. The house is just beautiful and fit our needs perfectly. The scenery is outstanding especially in the morning frost. Unbeatable !! My purpose for travel was to consider the area for relocation. Tennessee was top pick. I will be back to look more, and this is where I'm staying when I do. Without the outstanding service, the house could be a castle and the stay not good. You need both and you'll have it here !! Thank you so much, Betty and Dan. I feel like I made my first friends for my new home :)

Fly Fishing Trip

This property was perfect for our group of 6. The house is right on a great stretch of the South Holston river for wade fishing and our guides could pick us up and drop us off for our float days. The house has plenty of space and all the amenities that we needed for a great week of fishing. Betty was super easy to work with and you couldn’t ask for a better property owner.
