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.

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.

Refreshing Retreat

I recently lost my husband and I came here to reflect, pray, wanting to know where God wants me to go from here. I love the water and the fire pit, but most of all, I love the warmth and coziness of this cabin. I spent most of my time inside. It was even nicer than I pictured it. inside

This place is awesome !!! Me and my girlfriend just spent 5 day on the river and we didnt want to go home. The host Roy greeted us and was ultra helpful, he also takes care of the property which was fully equipped with everything, spare towels, napkins, coffee, TP...... He reached out to help but also left us alone (HUGE). We went to Blue Hole waterfall-freezing but you have to go in, the Wilbur Dam-very cool, Worlds Smallest Tunnel in Shady Valley-silly fun, the Cherokee Natl Forest- breath taking, Roy told us about great food and places nearby. Total success of a mountain trip (we live in S.FL) except for the 12 hour drive, but it was worth it, definitely doing it exactly the same next time.
