This home is amazing plenty to do to keep you busy. The beds are super comfy which is so important to me to be able to have a good nights sleep while away from home. They have thought of everything you might need to cook while you’re there. We will definitely stay again while we come in to visit family.

Another amazing stay at a absolutely beautiful home. Quiet, away from the busy city, but still close enough to get everything you need within a short distance! Matt, the host, was super friendly and extremely accommodating. You can tell he really wants people to have a great experience here. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone.

We enjoyed our week in this house very much! It has a well-stocked kitchen for cooking in, ample outdoor seating options for cozy chatting, and absolutely beautiful river frontage with lots of wildlife to enjoy! The home is exceptionally well appointed for a vacation rental...the hosts really thought of everything from comfortable linens and mattresses to complimentary toiletries that you'd want/need and it really made our stay here a standout. We also highly recommend a day trip to hike The Channels - what an unexpected find!!

The Holston River Lodge was excellent. It had plenty of space. We enjoyed kayaking, making campfires, and soaking in the hot tub. It's a beautiful house, and the hosts thought of everything.

We had a wonderful stay at Holston River Lodge. The property is beautiful. If you are into fishing, swimming, yard games, sitting by a campfire, tubing, then this the place for you. The hot tub was a plus. Highly recommend.

Amazing property!

We stayed here on our family vacation. The house was amazing. There were 6 of us staying there and more than enough room. We found so many things to do from the kids playing in the river, fishing, or just relaxing on one of the decks. I couldn’t recommend a stay here enough. Thank you again!!! We look forward to booking your home in the future for another adventure!

5-STAR EVERYTHING: house, property, host, ameities

5-STAR experience - the house is magnificent, the property is spectacular, the supplies/amenities great, notes & instructions thorough, host communications & responsiveness is the best I have ever experienced. I've been staying in great rental homes for years and this is by far the best overall and in every category! The hosts could not have done better - it was fantastic!

Lovely stay on the river

Beautifully set-up home with lots of thoughtful touches. Most of our time was spent outdoors enjoying the river, hot tub, and the other outdoor amenities. Great for kids as the river is slow enough in parts for wading while also supporting adults in kayaks. Inside was well set-up for families with convenient sleeping arrangements for all. Would definitely return to this riverfront gem!
