About this property

Austin Springs Family Retreat

This is not your typical rental! It’s created for family fun and up to 6-8 guests. This 1,800 sq. ft. home is located on Johnson City’s east side, just minutes from Jonesborough, ETSU, the Med-Tech corridor, Kingsport, & Bristol, baby! Comfort was our primary consideration with thoughtfully selected brand-new mattresses, some new furniture and fixtures, and a well-stocked kitchen. This house is equipped for FUN with a pool table, air hockey, ping-pong, and video arcade console.

The space
From our experience, we have gathered all the basics for a fun family stay. It’s the little stuff like convenient USB charging locations, having measuring cups, vegetable oil, or even a selection of spices that make a difference! It’s complete with a comfortable tree-covered sitting deck with a propane grill in a nice neighborhood. There is also a fire pit. Shampoo, conditioner, and many other comforts are provided. This is definitely NOT a house for parties.

Our home is very dear to us. We updated and added things we have missed in other short term rental homes we have stayed in. It is a great place for families or small groups. It has some recent paint, fresh carpet, and some really nice updates.

This home sleeps six comfortably, up to eight potentially. The first bedroom has a king bed (2 guests) with a TV. The second bedroom has a queen (2), and the third features 2 twin beds. There is a very comfortable inflatable twin mattress (1) in the closet with extra bedding. We have a Pack-N-Play unit, high chair, and lots of things for babies and toddlers.

The living room has a brand-new recliner, couch, TV, and fireplace. The family room has a couch with a 55” TV, pool table, air hockey, ping-pong, and much more family fun! Lots of board games and books are available for you to enjoy.

The kitchen has almost everything you could need to cook a meal with your family or friends. We’ve got the basics that you don’t want to buy when visiting a short-stay location.

We have free Wi-Fi and three smart TVs with many free channels, local television channels, and your subscription app-based services like Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, HBO Max, etc.

Guest access
Entire house and up to four exterior parking places. Hosts are off site.

Other things to note
One well-behaved smaller dog or a cat will be considered. We reserve the right to refuse any dog based on the potential of digging or going over the fence. Our neighbors to the left have a few hens and a duck, and our neighbors to our right have a small day care with young children.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We traveled from upstate New York to spend Christmas with our daughter. The house was well suited for our family and dogs. There is a big fenced in back yard and an awesome game room. They even went an extra step and put up a Christmas tree and decorated.

We really enjoyed our stay with Tiffany and Don. Great hosts! And the name, "Family Retreat" is quite appropriate. While our schedule didn't allow us to enjoy everything they provided (and it is a LOT) we know when we next return we would want to explore even more. The home is very comfortable, communication was fantastic, and lots of extras were provided. Truly a great place to stay!

Terrific Place

Tiffany and Don were awesome hosts. Their communication was great, and allowed us to check-in early. The home was very clean, warm, quiet and welcoming. If we needed something it was already provided in the well stocked kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and game room. We’ll definitely stay again when visiting family and friends. Thank you Tiffany and Don for an enjoyable stay.

Amazing Game Room!

We loved staying here! The kids (and maybe us as well) thoroughly enjoyed the game room and all the toys available! The house was well stocked with everything you could ever need and the hosts were very responsive! Great for families with small children and conveniently located close to town!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is comfortable and cozy cute, very very clean and has everything you would need and the beds were really comfortable. There is the coolest game room! Especially a kids retreat of entertainment. Great communication with the hosts!The neighborhood is pleasantly quiet. In the mornings the backyard is alive with birds singing their songs! A place to definitely return to for another stay!
