We had a great stay at the Doo-Wop Den. It was the perfect overnight stay for our long roadtrip home from holiday travel. Jerry was very communicative and quickly resolved a minor issue with our checkin. The place is clean and well taken care of. I loved all the touches and we particularly enjoyed the hot tub after walking back from a nice dinner downtown. We’d definitely stay again.

Super clean. Brought our small dog, myself, hubby, and 11 year-old son. We enjoyed the hot tub which was easy to use and the back deck is nice and secure. Washer and dryer on site.Host was easy to contact and very responsive. Checking in and out very easy. We absolutely adored the motive/theme and the hand painted murals. Space is super cute! There is one queen size bed, and the futon in the living room. Just the right amount of space for 2 adults , child and a dog. There was a small doggy bed and water and food bowls. We especially enjoyed the electric fireplace in the living room. The mini splits remote control were just a little difficult to figure out. Space can be a little tight in a few areas but only in places that you wouldn’t really stay in for long. Area is very quiet. A few blocks away from an elementary school and downtown Bristol, Tennessee. I would highly recommend. It is a 10 out of 10.
