A page out of history
The owners Monica and Daniel were amazing. They greeted us and gave us a tour and history about the house.
They are very proud of the history of their house that was like a museum.
Gathering together for 6 adults was challenging.

We had a wonderful girls trip and were blessed to stay in such a historic home. We were close to everything. Blackbird bakery right around the corner and close to downtown Bristol VA/TN the documented history of the home was very interesting and the in person check-in was amazing getting a tour of the home and hearing the history. Definitely will be back in the future. Love, Love, Love
