The cottage has been updated and has all the modern amenities. It was designed and decorated beautifully. The outside covered patio next to the river is a wonderful place to enjoy coffee in the morning, visit with family, share a meal or enjoy a glass of wine.

A great weekend spot

This was the cutest house with a fully functioning and appliance stocked kitchen. My kids loved playing in the river and I enjoyed relaxing next to it. We would 100% return if we are ever in the area again.

Wonderful Experience

We had an amazing time! The house is absolutely amazing! We enjoyed days by the river, playing in the water. And evenings roasting smores over the fire. We can't wait to come back!

Great place for my family

Home is newly renovated and impeccably clean. Beautifully staged for our arrival. Great location for my family to attend Appalachian League baseball games locally. Quiet nights, days can be busier with the kayak business next door...or just join them for a ride down the river! Host is excellent, and would highly recommend this rental.

Christmas in East Tennessee

We had a wonderful stay, and the property has every amenity you could wish for! The interior is immaculate, Teresa communicated with us regularly to inquire about our needs or questions, and she even left us a tray full of snacks! The adjustable massage bed and walk-in-shower are incredible, and the home is just a few blocks away from downtown! Five Stars!! We will be back...soon!
