Grab a quick bite to eat for lunch at the house or from one of the many local restaurants, and be back in the river in minutes. After a wonderful day, relax around a fire down by the water with friends and family, reminiscing on the day’s events.
If the river is not your thing, beautiful South Holston Lake, with its miles of undeveloped shoreline, is just a few short miles up stream. Boats and equipment are available for rent at the many marinas. Boone Lake is also just a mile or so downstream, offering a public boat ramp and recreational areas.

Fourth visit coming up!

We just love this place - and are so excited to be going back again for our fourth stay next week. We were there just two weeks ago for my birthday .. and missed it so much we are going back for another week. It is so peaceful, and yet easy to get to places, shops etc. The house is kept spotlessly clean and is equipped with all amenities. The view of the river from the sunroom is just wonderful. And did I mention the Bald Eagle???? Plus the bluebirds, cranes, herons, ducks, woodpeckers .... We just can't say enough to recommend a stay here.

Girls Getaway

Well this may be the best place for fly fishing, but the girls will love it too. We had such a good time staying here. We came to watch my son play ball for college and when we were at the cabin, we felt right at home. As a matter of fact we all said we could live there easily. Look out Jim we may be trying to buy you out for a retirement pad. Ha! Ha! We all said we'd love to come back and probably will really soon. It was not a fisherman's cabin by far, so don't let that scare you off. We were even saying we'd have to learn how to Fly Fish. I guess Jim knew we didn't know how to when I told him I wouldn't be able to get the girls to put a worm on the hook. I now have been informed that you don't put a worm on the hook to fly fish. :> Silly me. Thank you Jim for not laughing at me when I said that. Hope to see you soon! Thanks for a beautiful few days at you lovely place. Michele

This house was unreal. We did not have the best weather or water conditions for fishing but.. the house was more than I could have hoped for. Even with the fickle weather in March, we had a great relaxing vacation. All you need to bring is a few clothes and food. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need! I have stood in several homes that cost twice as much and are not nearly as nice.

A group of us went up to fish the South Holston and we stayed here...what a great house! We walked right out the back door to a beautiful yard overlooking the river. We caught quite a few fish off the banks on the property. The house is great, sleeps plenty and kept up wonderfully. We will definately come back again for our next adventure! Thanks

A wonderful place to relax

This property deserves the highest rating possible. All the creature comforts are here. The home is immaculate. Beds are comfortable (I slept better here than at home). Kitchen fully stocked. The owners, Jim and Connie, and their lab, Shiney, are very cordial hosts. The location is a nature-lover's delight. The house overlooks the South Holston River. Mallards, wood ducks, Canada geese and kingfishers patrol the river. A variety of upland birds frequent the woods and open fields. A hawk was heard in the distance. A fisherman reported seeing an eagle a few weeks earlier. If trout fishing hadn't kept me so occupied, I would have spent more time looking for birds. Since there were plenty of fish on the property, I did most of my fishing right here. However, if more diversity is desired, other places to access the river are readily available. The large porch, overlooking the river, was a relaxing spot to sit back and enjoy a drink in the evening. In summary, I'm eagerly anticipating my return visit.

The Ross family reunion

We just returned from a week at the Goodman's wonderful home. Actually, I think it's Shiney's home, If you go, please be sweet to Shiney (Black Lab, 11 yrs old and the official greeter and playmate). The home is AWESOME and the view even better. If you can't find it in the house, you don't need it. Jim Goodman is the ultimate host and as I said, Shiney is the most lovable dog who's place is on the black bed in the garage, should you choose to open the garage and let him hang out there. Mega kudos on the porperty. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing Vacation

I recently stayed in this property (May '10) and all I have to say is "Wow!" This property is truly spectacular. Nestled over a hill, the house is totally secluded and literally opens up to the river. The house has a modern kitchen, open dining and living room, two bathrooms downstairs (with fantastic water pressure!), and two nice sized bedrooms upstairs (with another large bathroom). There were six of us and we had more than enough room to spread out. My favorite part of the house (besides the views) was easily the sun porch overlooking the river. During the morning, it is flooded with sunlight. My wife and I spent one morning simply sitting and enjoying ourselves. You will need a car to get around, but after you go to the grocery store (two are very close), you won't have any reason to leave again. On top of the house, the fishing was top rate! When the owner says there is a half-mile of shoreline, he is not exaggerating in the slightest. We could have easily spent a week just fishing the river in front of this property. I can not stress enough how convenient it is to not have to worry about parking and leaving a car alongside the road. We just slid out of bed and walked right down to the river! Not only that, but we had tremendous luck during our three day stay with no complaints about how many fish we caught. Jim, the owner, is great and very warm. The house was clean and charming, the fishing was great, and the stay was relaxing. The women were happy and the fishermen were too! Best of both worlds. We will be back, and it won't be long, hopefully. I am a firm believer in reading customer reviews and I cannot recommend this house enough. It was fantastic!
