Great house with plenty of activities

This house is a great location right on the river with plenty to do at the house. It’s a very quiet part of town and easily accessible to hikes, fishing, Elizabethton, and Johnson City.

Quiet home on the Watauga River

Family gathering

The house and amenities were fantastic! Well stocked kitchen was much appreciated. We had a large group to feed. River access was great and the property is very quiet and peaceful. Great accessibility for my Mom's wheelchair. Only issues were that the downstairs temps were always very cold compared to upstairs. Overall great experience and would recommend.

Fantastic place for me and my family. The basement ceilings are low and might be a bit tricky for those over 6’ tall. Fortunately no of us are anywhere close to that height so it was perfect lol. The stay was fabulous. The hosts were tremendous. Definitely worth the stay!!

Short spring break trip.

The house was well equipped. We really appriciate all the instructions throughout the house. Really made it an easy stay. It offered plenty of activities for my family. The girls, 11 and 14 really enjoyed the pool table, ping pong table, and the hot tub. We all enjoyed the riverside setting. We had 5 people but it could house many more. We will definitely recommend to anyone we know visiting the area.

Property was great. Very clean. The Christmas decorations were a very nice unexpected touch. Also appreciated that they had the NFL network. The place was perfect for our family celebration. We did not spend much time outside but the view of the river was pretty.

Nice family stay

Good for a large family. Quick access to lots of activities. River was beautiful and loved sitting on all the porches. Beds were pretty comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. Our only complaint is that the temperature was really hard to control. The basement was freezing and the main level was hot.

Overstone rental

For the rates being charged this old home needs a bit more updating. Beds were so hard, the musty smell of the home was overwhelming, and the towels and some of the linens need updating. The view and the dock was amzaing.

Nice place. No issues.

Very nice house. Kitchen is very old and hardwood floors were very worn, which made it feel a bit dirty. Other than those things, everything was perfect. Lots of linens and clean towels. Beds for 8 people. Wireless internet and satellite TV with all the channels. Great view of the river.

Great home base for fishing

My family stayed at the house for a birthday fishing trip. TVA was generating a 1500cfs sluice so wade fishing was a no-go but fortunately we own a drift boat and fished four days. The house is on the river between Hunter bridge and 19 bridge in a good section of river - would be a great spot to wade if flows allow. The house itself is in a perfect location on the middle of the river and close to town. Provides close access to many stretches of the river and a quick 25 minutes to the SoHo. Would definitely stay again!

A Frigid Tennessee Christmas

From start to finish Gina was a great help to work with. They are remodeling the kitchen and let us know that the floor had just been replaced and the cabinets were being updated. The house was very clean and festively decorated for Christmas (inside and out)! Our family had a great time and would love to come back when we can enjoy the outdoor amenities. Thanks for everything!

Four generations

Four generations of our family, (79 years old to 9 months old, and 2 dogs) met at the River House. There was something for everyone! Relaxing on the deck, tubing in the numbing cold river, cooking and eating in the well-equipped house. We played games, relaxed on the deck and played in the river. There was plenty of room for everyone and even though it was +100° it was pleasant down by the river. We had one little problem and Sarah, the housekeeper was quick to make things right. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us.
