Stayed here for the first time on our annual Thanksgiving weekend visit to Bristol. The house was conveniently located close to State Street in a quiet neighborhood. The features as well as character made it a cozy place to stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful welcoming and spacious home that was even better than the pictures depicted. The beds and seating were comfortable and the entire space was tastefully decorated. We appreciated the laundry room.. it was clean and spacious. The host had water/ food bowls and even a treat for our dog! All of the rooms were well thought out in presentation and with everything we needed to enjoy our stay and more. Wish we were able to fully enjoy the space with a longer stay.

Lovely stay in Bristol

We really enjoyed our stay at John’s place with our two pups. It was a great location to visit the Bristol Caverns, Steel Creek Park, and the downtown area. We also made a quick visit to Abingdon to see a friend’s play at the Barter Theatre. John is a thoughtful and communicative host.

We had a wonderful time at Apple Hill Bungalow. The home was warm and inviting--and it had everything we needed. Enjoyed exploring the neighborhood on our nightly walks with the pups. Cooper and Quincy give it four paws up. We'll definitely be back again. Thank you, John and Mel, for your hospitality.

About the host

Hosted by John Wright

Host profile image
My wife and I are lifelong residents of the area and love the outdoor activities that are available here. We spend a lot of time at South Holston Lake (less than 15 mins from downtown Bristol), hicking the mountain ranges, riding bikes on the Appalachian Trail, fishing the North Holston River, and the occasional 4X4 trip through the Holston Mountain trails. We also love the growth in downtown Bristol! Good food, great beer, and lots of great music!!
