Full steam ahead for your Johnson City vacation rental

Born out of the pioneer railroad spirit of the 1800s - together with a stiff dose of bluegrass music and Prohibition-era shenanigans - Johnson City's got history and character in spades. Whether you're into outdoor living, old-time music, culture, history, or just some fine food and a few beers in good company, a Johnson City vacation rental is the one for you. With ties to the Appalachian bootlegging during Prohibition, rumour has it that Al Capone himself used to operate out of the city, and the spirit of these old rascals lives on in Johnson City's amazing craft brewing scene.

Look a saber tooth tiger dead in the eye

Most museums in the U.S. take you back a few hundred years or so. Johnson City takes you 8 million. At the Gray Fossil Site you can see tapir, mastodon, and the big daddy - the saber tooth cat. For more family-friendly exhibits that won't crumble to dust with rough handling, try Hands On! Regional Museum, or get wagons rolling for some pioneer history at Tipton-Haynes State Historic Site. If you're a music fan, the area's crammed with pilgrimage sites, from Cash and Carter to Hank Williams and Blind Lemon Jefferson, and even today Johnson City is big on its live music.

Enjoy the joys of June, but pack your umbrella
