Host was very kind and had great communication. The home, although older, was clean and comfortable and worked great for my family. Location worked fantastic for us as it was out of the hustle and bustle but could easily get to locations we desired. Overall a very nice experience.

Everything was just perfect. Our host couldn't have been more accommodating. The Carson-Newman University touches were so special to us. The gift basket was absolutely amazing. We loved the selections of coffee K-Cups. I can't rave enough about our host & the house. Would definitely book here again!!

Marcie is a wonderful and gracious host! She went out of her way to ensure our work crew had everything they needed, including an appliance that was not usually kept at the property. She spent extra time working with VRBO to correct my check out date I had entered incorrectly, so I wouldn’t have to repay a cleaning and damage fee. She was extremely kind, attentive, responsive and pleasant to work with.

The quiet you didn’t know you needed

Our family stayed here for a few nights around July 4th and to say it was quiet even on a holiday was an under statement we didn’t hear any of the neighbors once. Beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked. Has everything you need to cook and entertain. The microwave is a tad bit greedy and doesn’t like to share (you have to rent to find out what I mean) overall wonderful experience and would definitely book again!!
