Disappointed

We seen the reviews and thought they may have been exaggerated. I can handle rustic, however, the house was dirty, cobwebs everywhere, dangerous steps... We were embarrassed to have our family there. On a positive note it was the most beautiful view I have ever seen.

South Dakota to Bristol

Nice property. Is on 3 levels which wasn’t a problem. A few lights were out in different areas of the house. The motion light in front didn’t work. We enjoyed the area and the house, it was everything that the post said. We would stay again, very relaxing. Would recommend it.

Our second time renting this property

This was our second time renting this house. We love the lake views, the private boat dock, and proximity to Laurel Marina—it’s all about spending time on South Holston Lake for us. There’s a LOT of stairs which may be difficult if you have older family members, but overall it’s a really great rental home for people who enjoy nature and the beauty of Tennessee!!

Great view! Great access.

We had a fantastic time. The views were incredible and the access to the marina which was just a short walk up the road and the dock which was just down a few stairs made for a perfect week.

Now have 2 boxer brindle dogs.

Our dream home is located on a hillside with much in the way of natural beauty. The Lake is a wonderful forested mountain backdrop with a view from the hillside second to none. We have installed windows troughout to open you to clean fresh air in season(of course ac when needed). Decks exist for outside dining and barbecue on gas grill. Lots of steps will get your exercise during the week. We are near parks and hiking trails. You can enjoy historic trips to Jonesborough,Abingdon,Greenville,Bristol active downtown and country Music heritage.

What makes this property unique

Pontoon rental available through 3rd person. Bring your own boat or jet ski to use our dock for some lake fun and swimming. There are plenty of places around you can rent boats . Enjoy a beautiful clean lake to swim and fish. We are located near a national forest and the Appalachian trail biking on the Va. Creeper trail between Abingdon and Damascus is wonderful. I hope the weather is pleasant, as it usually is, but if not you will have many other activites to enjoy.
