Riverfront | Pvt Dock | Trout Fishing | Firepit | Hot Tub

Our family came up for a quiet weekend of fishing and relaxation and we definitely got that. We brought my parents and in-laws and my sister came to visit from a neighboring home. We made great use of the kitchen and the grill. We loved having coffee out back with the cows coming to say “hello”. We saw deer and even rescued a baby kitten from under the shed. The house was comfortable and had nice homey touches like the sound machines, tvs in every room, and plenty of plugs and outlets. The dock across the street is lovely to sit on in the evenings. My parents found the stairs a little challenging, just watch your step! Some of our favorite restaurants were Cootie Browns and Southern Craft BBQ. We shopped in downtown Elizabethton and Bristol. They have a lot of cute small boutiques and antique shops. We also highly recommend Bristol Caverns. We will definitely come back and hope to stay in this house again! The Rider and Jelinek families

Nice neighborhood.. older house

The house is pretty big and has lots of room for multiple guests or families. The location is nice about 25-35 minutes to town either way you go. The dock on the river was probly the best part it’s very relaxing and peaceful. We were hoping to catch some fish but didn’t have any luck. Maybe next time. The hot tub was an added bonus to come in and relax at night before going to bed. There are two kitchens and they’re both fully stocked for cooking. The stairs are pretty steep going downstairs so be careful. We didn’t really have any issues besides the hot tub was a little dirty but the host sent out some one to clean it within the hour of me contacting them. We would definitely stay here again most likely in the warmer months tho. It was still a little too cold to sit out on the dock and enjoy the river in the early mornings and evenings. The only thing I would suggest fixing was the stove top was cracked and the door in the master bedroom that goes outside to the porch it just had a normal door knob on it I’d suggest putting a deadbolt on just for security purposes. We look forward to returning to this probly in the summer.

The location is lovely. We had fun trying to fish from the river deck.The house is nice but it doesn’t work well for a large group. There are no good spaces to all be together. There’s one small table in the kitchen with 4 chairs. We ate several meals together so we carried over the folding table from the fishing deck, chairs and crockery up from downstairs, and chairs from the porch. Our improvised long table worked, but it was a tight squeeze.The rural location of the property suggests that guests will want to cook some meals. There were hardly any surfaces for meal prep, and almost no shelf space to store food (apart from the spacious refrigerator). We put boxes of food outside on the porch and hoped there were no scavengers! Waste paper baskets and mirrors would be helpful in all the bedrooms.The bottom step going down to the basement is deeper, and then there is a half step up to the downstairs area. Most of us stumbled on the bottom step and then tripped on the half step up. Thankfully the handrail saved us from falling. One of the twin rooms has no windows or closet and can only be accessed through the open plan double room. It is really an enclosed corridor between the basement room and the garage. It has the drainpipes from the bathroom on the floor above going down the wall, so every time the toilet is flushed or someone takes a shower, the pipes make a terrific racket. A few of the toiletry dispensers in the bathroom were practically empty.
