We had such a wonderful stay! Even though it rained quite a bit during our trip, there was plenty to keep everyone entertained. Between the pool table, shuffleboard, and theater room, we never ran out of things to do!We also loved relaxing on the covered deck, enjoying the beautiful water views, and watching the ducks swim and fly by. Our kids were able to fish every day, which they absolutely loved!Vince even helped arrange an amazing hunting trip for us, which made our stay that much more special.The house was very clean, fully stocked, and had everything we needed. Vince was a fantastic host—always quick to respond and available if we needed anything.We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would definitely love to come back!

VInce is a great host but it would have been helpful to know he lives in the home. Second, the AC is not adequate for the upstairs bedrooms. The home is beautiful and spacious. The property offers a variety of engaging opportunities.

Our extended family stayed her to attend my nephew's wedding. It was a bit of a partial family reunion for us. The property was very family friendly and comfortable. The kids enjoyed the spaces to play games and to be outside. The view of the river was beautiful. The porch was very relaxing just to hang out or read. We enjoyed watching the birds around the river. Overall a very nice stay for us.

Host exceeded our espectations. Wonderful home for our family Thanksgiving vacation, large well stocked kitchen with impressive dinning room with activites for entire family ( pool table, shufflle board, hot tub, foosball and unexpected theater room , which Grandkids enjoyed watching Garfield and eating popcorn), while extra outside areas provided adults with fantastic views of river and country side. Fishing for Trout is a plus at this location. this property offers more pluses than we have mentioned .The standout point was the the host.

Tennessee Base Camp

A great place for our group of 8 to base out of and have a great trip. You are close to hiking, biking Sweenie Trail and rafting. Then you come home to a beautiful deck on the river where you can fix a great meal and relax after a fun adventurous day.

Gorgeous location

Perfect for our large family. Finally enough bedrooms. 😊 We enjoyed the river, hot tub, theater, and games. Thank you, Vince for the use of your fishing poles. We want to come back and tube the river. The porches were very relaxing and the perfect place to connect with friends.

Would recommend to my family and friends

Really enjoyed my stay at the Riverbend Retreat. Vince was so thoughtful and ensured that we had everything we needed. The house was more than accommodating to a group of 15 for a special event. We really enjoyed the amenities and the view over the river. The house is well taken care of and loved by the owner and feels like home. I would stay again.

Comfortable, Relaxing, and Convenient

We visited the area for fly fishing. The house was a perfect spot for us. After fishing each day we relaxed on the decks by the river. The house is large, well equipped, clean, and very comfortable. The host, Vince, made it easy for us and was very attentive to our needs. I would certainly rent this house again.

Family Joy and Delight

My husband, adult children, their spouses and our three grandgirls (10, 7, and 2) had a delightful time at this spacious, will outfitted river retreat. So very nice for everyone to have their own space and great spaces indoors and out to gather, hangout, enjoy the nature right outside. Our host responded within minutes to every request.
