Loved our stay

We absolutely loved this trip. The Osprey at Tailwaters Lodge was perfect! It had beautiful views, very clean, and everything you need. Even simple essentials for the kitchen. We enjoyed the outdoor fireplace every evening and there was plenty of wood. The owners are super nice and check in is smooth. I’m sure we will be back!

Peaceful

I loved the cabin! I enjoyed the trails along the river and dam and watching the fly fishermen. It was a quiet, peaceful, relaxing vacation. It was nice that it was close to a restaurant and a Dollar General, so you don't have to go into Bristol. Bruce and Paula were very nice and helpful! I would definitely go back.
