Cabin was super clean, very well stocked with the basics, and everything was in great shape. The host communicated super clearly and let us know everything we needed to know.
This was our second stay and it was so good we booked a third stay for next year. Very convenient to the river and saw lots of wildlife. Excellent week!
Very nice cabin for a fishing trip to Eastern Tennessee! The place is well stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The gas log fireplace is a nice feature. The secluded location at the top of a hill is awesome!
Very responsive and flexible within reason. Enjoyed the long, private driveway. Pulled a bass boat up with no issues. Would recommend 100% and will likely revisit in the future.
We had a wonderful time at the cabin! Only wish we had more time to spend at it to enjoy the fire pit and the beautiful porch. So private and secluded. We would definitely come back!
We utilized this cabin to stay with our pups during a festival in Bristol. We found ourselves missing the cabin every time we left it. The location to the river and lake are spectacular, but the property and cabin is a destination in itself. Communication is clear and we loved every bit of our time here! Would stay here again even if we didnt have a reason to viait the area!
We loved the cabin. It was clean, comfortable, and very well furnished, including kitchen items. It was also wonderful to have the linens and towels included as well as access to a washer and dryer. We loved the isolated setting. It was just a little bit further of a walk to the water than we thought, but still, a wonderful place to stay. Thank you.

The cabin is tucked way back in the woods far from other homes and has all of the amenities to accommodate a large family or some friends. We were unable to enjoy the area much because we attended the races, but would like to visit again to enjoy the nature and trails surrounding the cabin.
The perfect hideaway for peace and quiet - but only a short drive off the property to anything. The house was so accommodating and we enjoyed listening to rain on the metal roof after 2.5 days by the firepit in the heart of the forest. So much fun!!
Loved the private drive to the house and the privacy of the location. We never heard any traffic noise or noise from others that live in the surrounding area.
Enjoyed watching the rabbits and deer graze, along with listening to the songs of the many different birds. The house itself was terrific; clean and well stocked, even the furniture was comfortable.
Planning on staying again as it was a terrific value.
My husband and I stayed at this cabin to celebrate our 35th anniversary. It was a perfect spot nestled in the woods, but yet, it was so open.
The cabin itself had a wonderful porch deck, comfortable bedding the owner’s really thought about how too accommodate the individuals who will stay there, bathrooms are fully stocked, full body wash full shampoo.
Kitchen is very well stocked had brand new ketchup, mustard mayonnaise waiting on us and they were the big ones not those cheap little ones. We did the fire pit and they have all the wood and kindling and newspaper everything that you can think to get it going!!
You truly just need to go unpack and relax.
We will be coming back.
A friend of ours needed a getaway. So we booked with Paula. We’ve stayed at Tailwater twice before. Needless to say, our friend was totally impressed with the cabin.
Bristol is a short drive, fly fishing in the best river in Tn. South Holston river is full of brown and rainbow trout. Gatlinburg is a couple hour drive.
The cabin is a half mile back into the woods. Beautiful yard for the kiddos and fur babies. Beautiful deck for enjoying the weather. This may not be a big thing. But you don’t have to stream tv. You can watch “normal” tv with local stations along with news, sports, movie channels. Gas fireplace inside and a fire pit outside.
We will definitely be booking with Tailwaters again.
