Highly recommend! We came up to fish the SoHo and the cabin location was ideal. Cabin is very clean, well equipped and has beautiful views of the river and countryside. Check in was a breeze. Really enjoyed our stay. We'll be back.
Great property in a great location. The place is super clean and well stocked with everything you may need. We have visited twice and will definitely be back.
This was the perfect place for our visit to the area! We had an absolutely beautiful view with all the modern amenities in our cabin. My husband had a great time fishing and the trout were accommodating. We were very comfortable and will definitely will be back.
My husband and I stayed here for a weekend at the races. This cabin was absolutely perfect for us and our 2 dogs. The location was convenient to downtown Bristol and the track (basically 20 minutes to everywhere). The place was super clean and the views were amazing. We really enjoyed coffee on the deck and the peace and quiet, with the only sounds being the mooing of the cows. Wonderful place to stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The cabin was beautifully decorated and very clean. It had all the things you need for a most enjoyable time. The deck with grill was perfect for relaxing and watching the river and beautiful scenery. Close to town and close to Bristol Motor Speedway. This is an excellent place to stay.
The accommodations and view of this eastern Tennessee location Is one for the memory book.
If you are looking To wake up with $1 million view this is the place. The cabin was perfect for us,… One of the best kept secrets on the South Holstein River. The owners had our best interest in mind and really made our stay very special.

Beautiful property and cabin. Fully stocked with anything you would need. Lots of things to do nearby...music downtown Bristol, antique shopping Elizabethton, beautiful lake and outdoor area South Holston dam and of course beautiful, relaxing, fishing South Holston river at the bottom of property. Great place if you like to fish or just sit by the river and read.
Excellent Cabin view of the Holston Mountains on South Holston River
We have stayed at a lot of cabins through the years it was our favorite of all times. The owner had added so many personal touches (snacks, coffee and a fresh bag of ice). Fishing was good and there was plenty of shoreline to catch nice rainbow and brown trout. Very quiet surroundings and we will be back.
This place is great if you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city! Betty was very nice and quick to respond when I had questions. The cabin was very clean and located right on the river. Will definitely stay again!
