Fishing Trip

Visited for a trip to float the South Holston With a friend. The house is in close proximity to both Big Springs and the weir, making it the perfect place to stay if you are bringing your own boat. The house was clean and the host was very nice. It had everything we needed and having a grill was great for cooking some fish we kept. Would love to visit and stay again.

Exactly what we needed!

My husband and I have been selecting quiet mountain region destinations the last few years preparing for retirement. Going up and down the Shenandoah to the Smokies. This home was perfect for us. Just enough, close to downtown and relaxing. The history of the home was wonderful and Lottie was a pleasure to communicate with. We certainly enjoyed our little get away. Watching the birds, hearing the owls at night and watching everyone fly fish was a treat. Definitely recommend this home. We truly enjoyed it.

We have come to Bristol for years for the N.H.R.A. and started at the cheap hotels with horrible results up to the top suites hotels with 5-star ratings. The Cottage by the river was by far the most enjoyable stay we ever experienced!! The cottage was beautiful and the view world class!! The Owner's and Neighbours are the best, polite and friendly!! The only thing we would change is a paver sidewalk through the long walk through the grass from the parking area. We checked in during the rain and wet shoes and grass clippings were everywhere. A small price to be paid for the best vacation we ever experienced!!

Fishing respite

Enjoyed the stay. Setting was great and house was clean. We were frustrated by the construction site right on top of us and the workers running heavy equipment late into the evening and early in the morning. Perhaps maybe speak to them about being respectful of your paying guests.

4 of us visited Bristol for the Nascar race. This home has a beautiful view of the river and very close to a number of activities. We sat on the front porch for hours and hiked a few of the trails nearby. We will certainly be back. House was everything advertised.
