The host was very accommodating to our needs. The amenities were great and the Taste of Christmas was beyond our expectations. We shall return in the very near future.

This home has everything you could need! There is a white noise machine by the bed, Fiesta ware in the cabinets, hair ties under the bathroom sink, lots of extra blankets, lamps with the good kind of bulbs, storage for your suitcases and clothes, and plenty of snacks. I could go on.... Also really pretty decor and absolutely spotless. The train actually didn't bother me and it was kind of cool to feel it rumbling by. I'm definitely hoping I can stay here again!

A beautiful spot in downtown

We were here for our wedding, which took place downtown. The place was perfect for the two of us and the proximity was truly unbeatable. We loved the history of the building and the special Dr. Enuff (an east TN delicacy) by our host. This place has everything you could need and the host were very friendly!

Cute Eggplant Home!

My husband, myself and our 2 children (8 & 18 months) stayed here for a little get away to the Bristol race. This home was adorable. Very clean and accommodating. Our kids LOVED the train and being able to walk to town and the little playground. If/when we go back to TN we will be staying her for sure.
