Quiet and relaxing riverfront cabin

This cabin is perfect for a quiet and relaxing stay. Location is close to grocery store, dam and lake for boating and fishing. Not to mention, trout fishing right outside your door! We will stay here again.

Great place to stay near Bristol Tennessee. Lots of good food options and attractions nearby so you will have a hard time running out of things to do around there. Awesome stay. Will definitely look for these cabins again next year.

We enjoyed our weekend very much. Listening to the babbling river and watching the ducks and geese were relaxing. It’s Bristol Baby! 15 miles from the track. Perfect location. Plan on coming back. We enjoyed our weekend very much!

Cute cabin. One of four in a row right on the river. Only drawback was the lack of a kitchen table. Maybe could use some larger mugs for coffee. The river was nice in the morning and would get really high at night when the dam was generating. There was a campground directly across the river. So, a peaceful setting.

Nice cabin

A new cabin with nice modern appliances. It is located in a depressed neighborhood, but the location is very convenient for us. There is not a closet to hange clothes, but one can use hooks on the inside of the bathroom door. Would stay there again.

Just for the fish

The cabin in itself was good, but the picture was misleading that you can fish off that side of the river. too steep

We will be back!

This place was a delight. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and peaceful with beautiful scenery. The host was very nice and met us there to check-in and show us the property. We will absolutely be coming back here for our future trips to Tennessee. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Google maps has not quite got the location down right so if you try to find it on google maps, don't let those images fool you. The ones on this site are 100% accurate.

Great future stay

It appears these properties are new to the area. They're building up to 20 units, and I am very excited about it when they are complete. The VRBO website didn't have any check in or out instructions. There was no instructions to bring your own soap, shampoo, etc. But location is excellent and hopefully in the future it will be even better. Will definitely be checking back in the future.

Restful River Cabin with Great Host!

We found the cabin to be brand new, with everything from towels to soaps to coffee thoughtfully placed and designed. The cabin was simple to make us feel we were returning to the "simple happy life," but actually equipped with modern conveniences from AC to an electric fireplace to cable. Our family really used this as an opportunity for bonding time. Kids favorite part was the cool loft (of course) where they read books. Adults favorite part was the porch. We honestly planned to do more hiking elsewhere but found ourselves opting for staring at the river, watching birds and walking out during low tide. Seriously, this is the perfect place to eat breakfast at gazing at the clear Watauga River. The stay was so peaceful and comfortable that we stayed an extra day. (Do make sure you have the Wilbur Dam time schedule: most likely 3-9pm is not safe for kids and even adults unless on a boat with life jackets. Just as a heads up, the entrance to this property has industrial buildings, but once you drive back you are resting straight on the river and it was incredibly peaceful. Kids loved it all! The host was super considerate, and even met us at the front to make sure we found our way in ok and checked in with us to see if we needed towels or anything else.

Cute little cabin right on water

We stayed at this cabin to see fall foliage in the mountains. It was a nice setting right on the water but was located behind industrial buildings and looked across from a couple travel trailers. It was stocked with the very basic needs in the kitchen and bathroom. I would suggest putting a coat rack up to hang clothes/coats. Upon arrival the tv didn’t work but it was replaced the next day. Twice while we were there the water was shut off by workers at the industrial buildings, but a call to property manager and it was turned back on quickly. Overall, it was a nice visit.

Wonderful place to reconnect

This was my husband and mine’s first trip in 15 years without the kids. The cabin was a wonderful place to spend some time reconnecting and rediscovering. The serenity of the property and river was wonderful! The cabin was beautiful, clean, and well stocked with all the necessities. We have found a jewel and plan to return anytime we need some alone time!

Peaceful Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful, restful retreat on the River! We came to town all the way from Arizona for a few days to watch our son who was playing baseball this summer for the Elizabethton River Riders. The cabin was very close to the ballpark which was convenient for us. It was perfect- very clean, quiet, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed relaxing on the front porch each morning and evening, taking in the view of the beautiful scenery along the River. The host was very responsive and made sure we had a great stay. We would definitely recommend!
