Awesome property!

The Fishing Cabin is even nicer than the photos show, and the farm is peaceful, with sheep, horses, chickens, and the very friendly farm dog, Butterball (our daughter’s bestie for the weekend). The owners are responsive and easy to work with. The house is clean and well taken care of. Very private setting besides the owners’ house a few hundred yards away. Easy access to the gorgeous river by foot or by car. Property is close to both Elizabethton and Johnson City. If we ever go out that way again, we will definitely stay there a second time.

Wonderful Place

We stayed here to celebrate our 40th anniversary. Cabin was very clean, nicely decorated. The kitchen was well stocked and bed was very comfortable. It was very private, easy to find with paved roads. The hot tub is wonderful located right outside kitchen door on a nice covered deck. Kristina made check in very easy! Look forward to returning in the future! We would definitely recommend renting this cabin!!

This place was perfect.....we spent most of the day working from 6am to 10 pm and this place was perfect to come back and relax. The hot tub was amazing and sitting on the back porch listening to the river was perfect. Butterball would great us every morning and evening and would hang out with us til we went to bed. We will have to go back when we can really enjoy it.

Great Getaway

This place hit the mark. Check in could not have been easier and the directions were spot on. The accommodations were immaculate. The property was very maintained and friendly animals were roaming freely in the area. The dog became our self appointed tour guide and took us on a walk by a river where we found a nice place to relax. . The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and everything else we needed to make our meals. The deck area was very nice and had a nice table to sit at with an amazing view. You can tell the owners take pride in their work. We will be back.

Clean and very well equipped

We were delighted when we walked into the cabin. So clean and it had everything you would need for an enjoyable vacation. The back porch was the perfect place for resting with the woods and rocking chair. The hot tub was a plus. The fishing was the only downer. You definitely need waders and ideally a raft or kayak to get at the fish. Plenty of great eating spots nearby but if you choose to cook, the cabin is very well equipped for any type of cooking. The owners really did a fantastic job with top of the line appliances and the beds were so very comfortable. Thanks for providing such a great place.

Cabin in the country

This country cabin is comfortable, clean, and new. It comes with the essential amenities plus Butterball and Company, our new best friends. We loved listening to the river from the hot tub on the porch. We had a very relaxing stay and would definitely stay again.
