Fantastic family property

Perfect home for our family (6 adults + 2 babies). Everything was very clean and comfortable. The hosts were very kind and left music playing and fresh fruit in the fridge. Really enjoyed the lovely backyard and porch area. We were in town for a family wedding and the location was very convenient for all the weekend activities.

Nice with a couple of quirks.

First of all, the property worked out really well for our group and we were overall very happy with our stay. The proximity to the Speedway is about as good as it gets and access to grocery stores & food is good as well. The first obstacle is the entry to the property, if you have a small or lowered vehicle I would highly suggest against attempting to get into the drive as it is quite narrow and steep with a quick transition. Second and probably the most inconvenient quirk of the property had to be the fact that the main shared bath has a full sized tub, but NO SHOWERHEAD! If you have a decent sized group then this is obviously a fairly significant inconvenience. My only other gripe with the property was their wifi cameras. I fully understand and support the property owners right to have perimeter cameras around the home, but having a camera on the back patio is an invasion of privacy and something that I highly suggest moving or removing altogether. The house honestly was a pretty good value overall and with a few small tweaks could be really good.

What a charming home.

Perfect property for staying with extended family

The house is lovely, and clearly well looked after. The layout of bedrooms and bathrooms was perfect: the grandparents had one side of the house, and our family of five had a great set-up on the other side. It was fun to have the river right there, even visible from the kitchen window. The host had generously provided a wide range of snacks for our stay. This was a wonderful stay in every way.

My sister and her family had to come to Elizabethton for a death in her husband's family, I wanted to find them a convenient and nice place to stay while they were visiting. I would have to say that this was my first experience in booking with VRBO and this was an exceptional experience in all categories. The home was immaculate. The property manager/owner was one of the most caring people I've had the pleasure of communicating with. I am so grateful for everyone involved with this booking. I will definitely refer more people to this location and I know my family will definitely stay at this location again when visiting the area. Absolutely a 5 🌟 experience! Wendy
