No complaints! It was quiet, the view is beautiful. The house had everything we needed. We did a lot of traveling over the weekend, the comfy beds and living room made it much more bearable!! We will definitely return.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Scubla

Host profile image
The Rio House has become our home away from the busy everyday life of New York. I love the porch view and the pure sounds of nature. One of my favorite things is getting a full night sleep with no noise to interrupt. Having family together and simply disconnecting from everyday life is the best part of being in Tennessee.

Why they chose this property

We found Tazewell and the Rio House by chance and its unexpected simplicity drew us in and we stayed.

What makes this property unique

This property is for those who really want to unwind and disconnected for a few days. The Rio House serenity, river and mountain views allow you to slow life down and reground yourself.
