What a beautiful place to stay! Would love go back for a summer vacation. Look for the cedar tree and bear left to get there. So well designed and decorated and the view is awesome.

Kitchen was very well stocked. Street was quiet with no traffic. Nice location. Fished both the Wilson Dam tailwaters and in Mississippi by boat. Caught fish off the dock including 2 blue cats close to 20 pounds. The Tennessee River did not disappoint. Awesome house. Awesome water.

Great, relaxing stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Driftwood Retreat. We loved the quite neighborhood and made all kinds of new friends, including the three neighborhood dogs, 2 cats and a few chipmunks! Would most definitely recommend and hope we can find our way back for another stay soon.
