Husband and I came from Cincinnati Ohio to stay here to fish all week. We had a great time. The river we stayed on (Elk River) was a good for fishing also ran up to the Tennessee river, wheeler lake, and the wheeler dam. Caught a bunch of catfish. The home was very nice and the hosts were attentive and friendly. We would stay there again.
Stayed the weekend to do some fishing.The place was cozy,clean and steps away from the Elk River.The host communicated well and very promptly when I asked a question.Would definitely go back.The nearest grocery store is about 20 to 25 minutes away.

Elk River Relaxation
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. He caught plenty of catfish which was what he was looking forward to. The location and accommodations were great for rest and relaxation which was what I was looking forward to. Everything was clean, fresh, and conveniently appointed. Our host Eric responded quickly to our questions and was also very personable. We look forward to returning; thanks again Eric for everything!
