Very clean home, nice property. Sits on a very very steep driveway- great parking but don’t plan on pulling a trailer up the driveway - way to steep.

This property was perfect for our stay of 4 adults. Everything was as advertised. Penny reached out several times during our stay to be sure all was good. The views from each room were lovely and the porches were perfect for drinking coffee. We will definitely return to this lovely home.

Absolutely Perfect!!

We stayed here with some good friends for race weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway. The house was just perfect for our two families. There was plenty of room and it was well appointed. We enjoyed and fire in the fire pit the first night, where we met the neighbors dog. He was so sweet and we all wanted to take him home. The house is conveniently located near the track. The area is very quiet, which we loved. We will be back.

Great location and views

Had the pleasure of staying here over a BMS race weekend. Penny was easy to reach and communicative before and during the stay. The house is conveniently located (roughly 15 minutes to BMS with raceday traffic), was nicely equipped (including a snack basket!), and had everything we needed for our stay. WiFi was good enough to support a couple kids streaming with no issues. Would happily stay again.

Quiet Country Stay

My family and I absolutely loved our stay at John and Penny's property. It was so spacious, so clean, and had everything we needed. Only 15 minutes to Bristol and 20 minutes to Holston Lake. The best part was the view from the screened in porch as we watched a storm pass through. We are very grateful that we found their place to stay!

Flyfishing vacation perfection in Tennessee

This is the second time we have stayed at Penny and John's lovely home on the banks of the South Holsten River in eastern Tennessee. The river is well-known for being full of trout and is considered one of the best flyfishing rivers east of the Mississippi. The home itself is spotless and spacious and up on a hill with views of the mountains beyond the river. My husband and I had a quiet, relaxing vacation fishing, reading, taking walks and roasting marshmallows under the stars. Be aware that the access to the river right across the road from the home is a bit of a steep climb, but there are other access points nearby and guides for the fisherman who wants to learn more about the river.
