An outdoor oasis!

This property is secluded and beautiful! Perfect for family vacations or a simple getaway. The driveway is steep so 4 wheel drive is recommended but the cabin is absolutely gorgeous and the property manager was easily accessible! We will be back!!

The perfect cabin in the woods!

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!

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.

Our Stay

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.

Definitely a great place for a quiet get-away. Having a 4-wheel or all-wheel drive was helpful.

Owner was wonderful. Very pleasant and timely with her communications with me. Everyone had a great time. Able to relax and visit. The cabin is not near anything, so you way want to hit a grocery store on your way in. Would stay again without any hesitation.

Unbelievable Escape!

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!!

Great Property

Overall great stay. Cabin was nice, clean, and close enough to Bristol. Cabin on 30 + acres. All kinds of wild life. Right down the street from Holston Dam. Great for hiking and fishing. If you want peace and quiet without being in the middle of nowhere this is the place. Owners have thought of everything.
