Spring getaways

Our stay plans were to relax, fish, hike and this was the perfect location. The hosts are very thoughtful and proactive. Unfortunately we are gluten intolerant so we just got to drool over the bake goodies that were left but they smelled wonderful!

Beautiful furnishings

House was very nice and clean. Guest were to remover there shoes before entering the house according to the info sheet in the kitchen. We found that to be a little off putting. The house is furnished beautifully. Extensive collection of high end furnishings. Beautiful.

Annual College Reunion

Beautiful, top quality built home. Immaculately clean and well maintained, inside and out. Comfortable for living and sleeping. Quiet, peaceful surroundings. Great Grill with the thoughtfulness of a spare propane tank. Easy, short drive to town. Very accommodating, great Host. The only improvement could be water conditioning, as the water is very hard and difficult to rinse off in the shower or while cleaning dishes. Other than that, which is certainly not a “show stopper”, this location is as good as it gets!

Extraordinarily Appointed Cottage Get-Away -

I travel a lot with our women’s college golf team, this is the most beautiful home we have ever stayed in. To make the stay even more special - the host left loads of bottled water, specialty baked goods, and coffee - and was incredibly responsive. Highly recommended!

Fall Night Race 2021

House was beautiful and very clean. Randall was a great host to work with. Home is near South Holston Damn and we were able to explore nature a little bit as well. Unfortunately we had an issue with our vehicle, and Randall went out of his way to help us locate a business that was open on Sunday to assist with repairs before we returned home. Would definitely stay here again.
