Loved our stay here! Wish we were here longer to enjoy coffee on the screened in porch. Casper the local dog made an appearance - super friendly and stayed outside. Perfect amount of room and very comfortable for our family visiting for the Reds/Braves game at Bristol. Host was great in providing local recommendations. Highly recommend!

This was a perfect property to hold our family reunion! Lots of room for the kids to enjoy the outdoors in the afternoons and evenings, and amazingly peaceful for the grandparents in the mornings.The screened porch is marvelous! With the added bonus of the local wildlife of deer and bald eagles (and neighbor's fun loving dog) it made for a week we'll never forget! The hosts gave us recommendations for kids activities and were very helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had.

Very clean home, nice property. Sits on a very very steep driveway- great parking but don’t plan on pulling a trailer up the driveway - way to steep.

This property was perfect for our stay of 4 adults. Everything was as advertised. Penny reached out several times during our stay to be sure all was good. The views from each room were lovely and the porches were perfect for drinking coffee. We will definitely return to this lovely home.

Absolutely Perfect!!

We stayed here with some good friends for race weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway. The house was just perfect for our two families. There was plenty of room and it was well appointed. We enjoyed and fire in the fire pit the first night, where we met the neighbors dog. He was so sweet and we all wanted to take him home. The house is conveniently located near the track. The area is very quiet, which we loved. We will be back.
