Graduation Trip

Fantastic place for me and my family. The basement ceilings are low and might be a bit tricky for those over 6’ tall. Fortunately no of us are anywhere close to that height so it was perfect lol. The stay was fabulous. The hosts were tremendous. Definitely worth the stay!!

Nice family stay

Good for a large family. Quick access to lots of activities. River was beautiful and loved sitting on all the porches. Beds were pretty comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. Our only complaint is that the temperature was really hard to control. The basement was freezing and the main level was hot.

Property was great. Very clean. The Christmas decorations were a very nice unexpected touch. Also appreciated that they had the NFL network. The place was perfect for our family celebration. We did not spend much time outside but the view of the river was pretty.

Short spring break trip.

The house was well equipped. We really appriciate all the instructions throughout the house. Really made it an easy stay. It offered plenty of activities for my family. The girls, 11 and 14 really enjoyed the pool table, ping pong table, and the hot tub. We all enjoyed the riverside setting. We had 5 people but it could house many more. We will definitely recommend to anyone we know visiting the area.

Weekend Wedding

Property was nice. Great location and very quiet home as far as noise during the night. With 4 couples you often hear people up and around throughout the night. This was very quiet. Loved the layout of the home. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Great home base for fishing

My family stayed at the house for a birthday fishing trip. TVA was generating a 1500cfs sluice so wade fishing was a no-go but fortunately we own a drift boat and fished four days. The house is on the river between Hunter bridge and 19 bridge in a good section of river - would be a great spot to wade if flows allow. The house itself is in a perfect location on the middle of the river and close to town. Provides close access to many stretches of the river and a quick 25 minutes to the SoHo. Would definitely stay again!

It was absolutely lovely, the hot tub was incredible and all the games and nicnacs downstairs was so fun to play with the whole family, and the little playground outside was perfect for our youngest family members. Definitely a 10/10, the only thing was that the river was way colder than we thought, but it was still fun.
