About the host
Hosted by Penny and John Maxwell
My husband John and I consider it a privilege to live on the South Holston River, one of the premier fishing rivers in the eastern United States. When the opportunity presented itself to buy another home to share with vacationers, we did not hesitate. It is our hope that everyone staying in our rental will experience the joy of the beautiful river and surrounding Holston Mountain.

What makes this property unique
FISHING INFO:
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!
