Very clean home, nice property. Sits on a very very steep driveway- great parking but don’t plan on pulling a trailer up the driveway - way to steep.

This property was perfect for our stay of 4 adults. Everything was as advertised. Penny reached out several times during our stay to be sure all was good. The views from each room were lovely and the porches were perfect for drinking coffee. We will definitely return to this lovely home.

Quiet Country Stay

My family and I absolutely loved our stay at John and Penny's property. It was so spacious, so clean, and had everything we needed. Only 15 minutes to Bristol and 20 minutes to Holston Lake. The best part was the view from the screened in porch as we watched a storm pass through. We are very grateful that we found their place to stay!

Wonderful getaway

Our 4th of July getaway was simply wonderful! The property was amazing, cleanliness was a huge factor and this definitely met the standards. The host were very accommodating and made the process super easy. I would recommend this property to anyone and would surely stay again. It’s close enough to everything but also far away enough to have peace and quiet!
