My mom, aunt, sister and I absolutely loved our stay! The place was even better than pictured. Daniel gave an excellent historical tour of the home and told us all we needed know for our stay. The place was very clean, the beds were comfortable and it was easily walkable to the downtown area. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

A page out of history

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.

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
