large home lots of beds large kitchen best part you are able to pull right into garage beautiful view of mountains great watching deer front and back yard
This home was beautiful! Very spacious and clean. The view of the mountains from the screen in porch was perfect! The owners are wonderful and we would and are planning another stay with them in the future.
Loved our stay here! Wish we were here longer to enjoy coffee on the screened in porch. Casper the local dog made an appearance - super friendly and stayed outside. Perfect amount of room and very comfortable for our family visiting for the Reds/Braves game at Bristol. Host was great in providing local recommendations. Highly recommend!
This was a perfect property to hold our family reunion! Lots of room for the kids to enjoy the outdoors in the afternoons and evenings, and amazingly peaceful for the grandparents in the mornings.The screened porch is marvelous! With the added bonus of the local wildlife of deer and bald eagles (and neighbor's fun loving dog) it made for a week we'll never forget! The hosts gave us recommendations for kids activities and were very helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had.
Great weekend at this large extremely clean rental. Open outdoor space great for kids to run and play. Owners were always available for any needs and listening to the river at night was so relaxing.Would recommend to anyone who just wants to escape..
This place has EVERYTHING anyone could ask for while visiting the area . John and Penny are the ultimate hosts. the kitchen , living room bedrooms and baths are all comfortable and well furnished for all your needs . Make this your first choice while visiting the area . We plan on staying again next time we attend the races .
Very clean home, nice property. Sits on a very very steep driveway- great parking but donât plan on pulling a trailer up the driveway - way to steep.
This property was perfect for our stay of 4 adults. Everything was as advertised. Penny reached out several times during our stay to be sure all was good.
The views from each room were lovely and the porches were perfect for drinking coffee.
We will definitely return to this lovely home.
We stayed here with some good friends for race weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway. The house was just perfect for our two families. There was plenty of room and it was well appointed. We enjoyed and fire in the fire pit the first night, where we met the neighbors dog. He was so sweet and we all wanted to take him home. The house is conveniently located near the track. The area is very quiet, which we loved. We will be back.
Great house, great location, great vies and great hosts!
The house was very clean, well stocked kitchen and have beautiful views. We loved it and will return. Great place to stay if you want to fish the South Holston.
We came down for the race to relax and to golf and did all three with comfort, the house is as pictured its quiet awesome veiws, we saw deer every evening had fires overall great experience.
We stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time. The house was big and clean. The land and location were beautiful. The neighbour has an adorable and friendly dog that my daughters loved playing with outside for hours. Will definitely come back again.
We were in town for the race at the speedway. The location was perfect and just far enough away to have space for all 8 of us. Great host. Highly recommend
What a great place to be with your family. The house was spacious and very nicely furnished. The host checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Loved the big kitchen and the views were incredible. Would highly recommend this house for a family getaway!
Had the pleasure of staying here over a BMS race weekend. Penny was easy to reach and communicative before and during the stay. The house is conveniently located (roughly 15 minutes to BMS with raceday traffic), was nicely equipped (including a snack basket!), and had everything we needed for our stay. WiFi was good enough to support a couple kids streaming with no issues. Would happily stay again.
My husband John and I consider it a privilege to live on the South Holston River, one of the premier fishing rivers in the eastern United States. When the opportunity presented itself to buy another home to share with vacationers, we did not hesitate.

FISHING INFO: There are several public access areas in close proximity...one directly across the road from the rental. We recommend guests download the TN Valley Authority (TVA) app on their smartphone for detailed water release schedules. All water released from the dam takes approximately 3 hours to reach the area in front of the rental house. Fishing is great whether you are wading during low water or fishing from the river side during high water. TWRA (Tn Wildlife Resources Agency) rules apply to fish and type sizes. TWRA website posts trout stocking release schedules. South Holston River is a natural breeding site for Brown trout and Rainbow trout are added for sport fishing. Tn State marine biologists estimate there are 8,500 trout per mile on the SOHO. Many guide services are available on-line and several Outfitter shops are located nearby for supplies and fishing recommendations. Watauga River, located 10 miles away, is also a highly rated trout stream with multiple access points and abundant fish. Numerous articles on-line and in sports publications rate the South Holston and Watauga Rivers as the best east of the Rocky Mountains. Our guest house is located at the Boyds Island breeding area and is closed from November-January for natural breeding activity. Other months of the year allow abundant, natural Brown trout for your enjoyment. Consuming fish: South Holston and Watauga Rivers use mountain fed lakes and streams and fish are abundant and safe to eat. Enjoy fresh fish on the grill while relaxing and taking in the views from Riverside Retreat!
