As posted

Just perfect for 2. Our 2nd stay as we have family near by. Each morning Canadian geese took their morning swim, counted nearly 60 one morning. Minutes to dining and shopping. 15 to 30 minutes to numerous outdoor activities.

Paradise on the river

New model river front cabins at a very reasonable price. Quiet and private with lots of room to roam. We had a bit of a problem with the GPS directions but one quick call to Logan and everything was simple. I would definitely make this a stop whenever passing through.

Everything went nicely, well supplied, quiet. There were 4 cabins and the only thing we didn't know was which cabin was ours...we tried the code they gave us and figured it out.

Not comfortable

Beds and chairs are bar height. Had to bring porch chairs in for a normal seat. Kitchenette is one hot plate a really small toaster oven and a small microwave. 1 dish rag and 1 dish towel. There were ample bath towels. The location was really nice but won’t stay again. We left a day early it was so uncomfortable.

Beautiful riverside cottage

The cottage was peaceful and a perfect place to send my parents to relax. The check in process was a bit odd, the cottages are not clearly marked, they had to guess which cabin was theirs and try their code. Otherwise, this place was perfect. Cozy, clean, and the hosts were quick in response and great hosts!

Lovely fishing cabin!!

I will admit we were a little nervous about a few eyesores driving to the cabin. If you can avoid looking at the storage aheds and don't open your eyes until you're on the back deck of the cabin, you'll feel like you have found a romantuc getaway perfect for your husband and the pooch. Perfectlu lovely!

Clean and comfortable stay

The cabin is cute and comfortable, very clean. A few minor issues. Had to go to the store for Kcup coffee since the coffee pot is a Keurig (would be helpful to note this in the description or provide the fillable Kcup). Limited counter space for preparing meals, etc. The Wautuga river is very fast moving, would not want to stay there with small children. The river is beautiful and we enjoyed sitting by the fire next to the river. The location is in town, in a so so neighborhood. For mountain views, you just need to drive around. Found some beautiful spots around Wautuga Lake and farther up river. The check in process could use some improvement. Cell service is spotty and the cabin number was not given until I after I messaged the host. By the time I got a response, we had gone to each cabin and tested the code until we found which one it opened. Should maybe give that info to your guests more in advance since the service by the cabins is not great.

Long weekend stay

Highlights from the porch: great blue heron, beaver swimming upstream with branch, geese with six goslings visiting every morning. Truly beautiful. I enjoyed my stay. I was out and about during the day. The location is very convenient and it was easy to get to Johnson City and Blountville to visit family. The cabin is well equipped, clean, and has a comfortable bed. As a senior, I appreciated that there is a ramp up to the deck and entry. My son and his wife enjoyed finishing our evening with campfire on the riverbank. I would love to stay again on my next visit to the area.

Nice place, well decorated and right on the river. However the location was behind a storage rental building more on an industrial side of town
