We had a wonderful girls trip and were blessed to stay in such a historic home. We were close to everything. Blackbird bakery right around the corner and close to downtown Bristol VA/TN the documented history of the home was very interesting and the in person check-in was amazing getting a tour of the home and hearing the history. Definitely will be back in the future. Love, Love, Love

The owners Monica and Daniel were amazing. They greeted us and gave us a tour and history about the house.
They are very proud of the history of their house that was like a museum.
Gathering together for 6 adults was challenging.
