My family and I decided to spend New Year’s in Tennessee at the last minute, and finding Brian’s cabin felt like a blessing. From the moment we arrived, we were amazed — the pictures truly don’t do it justice. The cabin is stunning, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. Every detail made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Brian was extremely responsive and kind, making sure we had everything we needed. We had such a wonderful experience and can’t wait to return. Thank you so much, Brian!
What a beautiful home! My sister and I loved staying here with my dog. The kitchen was well-equipped and the home was incredibly nice and clean in peaceful surroundings. Saved this to stay again in the future!
We had such a good long weekend at this cabin. It was a great place to disconnect and relax. The views of the mountains were amazing, and it's so quiet around. The cabin itself was insanely clean. The beds were so comfy, and the porch was huge with some nice rocking chairs to relax on.
This place is beautiful with a country setting! Beds and furniture are really comfortable! This is definitely a family friendly cabin! Communication with owner was great and in a timely manner! Would definitely stay there again!
The house was beautiful and comfortable- exactly as advertised. The location was perfect. I felt we were centrally located for all of our adventures. Brian was easy to communicate with and we appreciated his local recommendations for food and activities. We would honestly love to go back to explore more and have told all of our friends/family about the house.
Fantastic property. The entire process was smooth from start to finish. The property description was spot on. Perfect place for our family to stay. Plenty of room for all! Cozy, yet plenty big enough to allow ample space for everyone.
Home was beautiful and easy to get to. I thought it was closer to mountain/river area and was closer to other homes than I anticipated. However was a quiet area and very homey and clean.
Large and open house, spotless, plenty of starter supplies.
Great Deck with 2 rockers. The beds were comfortable with
great linens as advertised. We were there to visit family so did not get to visit sites or fish in the nearby Lake.
Absolutely the most relaxing trip! The cabin size and the amenities were perfect. Considering the devastation of the hurricane to East Tennessee, we were so worried about the trip. The host was very helpful on different things we could do and even have snap shots for the directions. It was a fabulous time! Thank you so much!! The communication was spot on for every concern or question. I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking to get away and relax!!
My family (6 adults, 3 kids) traveled to Tennessee for a graduation in Johnson City. We were anout 30min from the ETSU campus. There wasnt much around, you had to drive about 10min to a gas station. But we definitely enjoyed watching the sunrise on the wrap-around porch! The place was very clean. There was ample space for everyone! The queen beds on the main floor were a little challenging for my older Aunt. It was a little high for her to get in by herself. But we have no complaints! We had a blast!
This house was beautifully put together and immaculate. Very cozy and clean. We had a full house of 11 people (adults and kids). Great location for us as it wasn’t far from so many different things we were doing amongst Tennessee and North Carolina. Great scenery just surrounding you outside with beautiful mountains and farm animals. We would def stay again. We had great communication with the homeowner as well, very nice guy.
We were impressed with this cabin. It was very clean, new, and nicely decorated. The host was helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. It is located on the outskirts of Elizabethton, in a little area called “dog town”. It is easy to get to, paved roads, pretty views. The cabin is kind of close to the road. Be careful because lots of people fly down the back roads in this area. But beautiful yard and views. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again if ever in the area.
