Clean and comfortable stay

The cabin is cute and comfortable, very clean. A few minor issues. Had to go to the store for Kcup coffee since the coffee pot is a Keurig (would be helpful to note this in the description or provide the fillable Kcup). Limited counter space for preparing meals, etc. The Wautuga river is very fast moving, would not want to stay there with small children. The river is beautiful and we enjoyed sitting by the fire next to the river. The location is in town, in a so so neighborhood. For mountain views, you just need to drive around. Found some beautiful spots around Wautuga Lake and farther up river. The check in process could use some improvement. Cell service is spotty and the cabin number was not given until I after I messaged the host. By the time I got a response, we had gone to each cabin and tested the code until we found which one it opened. Should maybe give that info to your guests more in advance since the service by the cabins is not great.

Long weekend stay

Highlights from the porch: great blue heron, beaver swimming upstream with branch, geese with six goslings visiting every morning. Truly beautiful. I enjoyed my stay. I was out and about during the day. The location is very convenient and it was easy to get to Johnson City and Blountville to visit family. The cabin is well equipped, clean, and has a comfortable bed. As a senior, I appreciated that there is a ramp up to the deck and entry. My son and his wife enjoyed finishing our evening with campfire on the riverbank. I would love to stay again on my next visit to the area.

Just perfect for 2. Our 2nd stay as we have family near by. Each morning Canadian geese took their morning swim, counted nearly 60 one morning. Minutes to dining and shopping. 15 to 30 minutes to numerous outdoor activities.

Refreshing Retreat

I recently lost my husband and I came here to reflect, pray, wanting to know where God wants me to go from here. I love the water and the fire pit, but most of all, I love the warmth and coziness of this cabin. I spent most of my time inside. It was even nicer than I pictured it. inside

Amazing get-a -way

This adorable cabin was a perfect solution to a quiet place but not to far from home. My only frustration was the motion light on the cabin next door. Any small movement triggered the light to come on. And it faced the campfire. Kinda ruining the blaze from the fire. If that light pointed to the rd just a little bit more. This would not have been a issu . I'll be back for sure though

This place is awesome !!! Me and my girlfriend just spent 5 day on the river and we didnt want to go home. The host Roy greeted us and was ultra helpful, he also takes care of the property which was fully equipped with everything, spare towels, napkins, coffee, TP...... He reached out to help but also left us alone (HUGE). We went to Blue Hole waterfall-freezing but you have to go in, the Wilbur Dam-very cool, Worlds Smallest Tunnel in Shady Valley-silly fun, the Cherokee Natl Forest- breath taking, Roy told us about great food and places nearby. Total success of a mountain trip (we live in S.FL) except for the 12 hour drive, but it was worth it, definitely doing it exactly the same next time.

Tennessee 6/24

This is a really nice cabin, immaculately clean and very well-appointed with all the appliances and amenities for a comfortable stay. The mattress was also amazing, better than I have at home. Amazing 65" (I think) TV. Host is very responsive, I appreciated that. I would definitely stay again. I had a hard time finding the cabin, I didn't see any sign by the road, and had to search around. The information that was provided that the cabin was behind the self-storage facility was what finally got me there. When I got there, the cabins were marked 1 through 4, and my reservation didn't say which one was mine, so I had to go cabin to cabin to check the access code on the reservation. Maybe I missed something, would not be the first time. I'd also suggest a small bookcase or shelves below the TV to put clothes on, so guests don't have to work out of their suitcases. And a luggage rack would be nice. I indicate these as constructive criticisms, minor inconveniences, because I really liked, and felt good about, this cabin. Thanks. Tom Parrott
