Weekend stay

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.

Bluff City Rental

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.

Absolutely Perfect!!

We stayed here with some good friends for race weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway. The house was just perfect for our two families. There was plenty of room and it was well appointed. We enjoyed and fire in the fire pit the first night, where we met the neighbors dog. He was so sweet and we all wanted to take him home. The house is conveniently located near the track. The area is very quiet, which we loved. We will be back.

What makes this property unique

FISHING INFO: There is a private fishing area with river side access across from the rental.
There are several public access areas in close proximity...one directly across the road from the rental.
We recommend guests download the TN Valley Authority (TVA) app on their smartphone for detailed water release schedules. All water released from the dam takes approximately 3 hours to reach the area in front of the rental house. Fishing is great whether you are wading during low water or fishing from the river side during high water.
TWRA (Tn Wildlife Resources Agency) rules apply to fish and type sizes. TWRA website posts trout stocking release schedules. South Holston River is a natural breeding site for Brown trout and Rainbow trout are added for sport fishing. Tn State marine biologists estimate there are 8,500 trout per mile on the SOHO.
Many guide services are available on-line and several Outfitter shops are located nearby for supplies and fishing recommendations.
Watauga River, located 10 miles away, is also a highly rated trout stream with multiple access points and abundant fish. Numerous articles on-line and in sports publications rate the South Holston and Watauga Rivers as the best east of the Rocky Mountains.
Our guest house is located at the Boyds Island breeding area and is closed from November-January for natural breeding activity. Other months of the year allow abundant, natural Brown trout for your enjoyment.
Consuming fish: South Holston and Watauga Rivers use mountain fed lakes and streams and fish are abundant and safe to eat. Enjoy fresh fish on the grill while relaxing and taking in the views from Riverside Retreat!
