Fantastic stay from start to finish. The house was beautifully decorated, super clean and very comfortable. You can tell the hosts thought of every detail — even down to the good toilet paper Everything felt welcoming and well put together. We didn’t get to enjoy the gorgeous back yard because of rain, but it was definitely a lovely oasis.

Thanks so much, Erica! We're really glad you enjoyed our house and appreciated all the little touches. Sorry the weather didn't cooperate for the backyard — that just means you'll have to come back when it's sunny!
We had a great stay. the house was very clean and well kept. the outdoor area was fantastic and a great place to relax. Its also conveniently located close to restaurants and downtown Bristol. we would definitely stay here again.
If you’re traveling to Bristol this is the place to stay. Close to everything with a private backyard oasis that makes you feel like you’re far away from the crowds. The communication with owners is the best I’ve experienced by far. We always stay at private owned homes when traveling, this place and owners exceeded our expectations. The snacks, coffee, and all the little extras was icing on the cake. We will be back!
We really enjoyed our stay in this attractive, well-kept, and very comfortable property. The kitchen was spotless and reasonably well-equipped. All of the appliances and mechanical systems worked exactly as expected. The outdoor spaces were a wonderful bonus — we loved the covered deck, the inviting firepit area, the hot tub, and the convenient outdoor dining setup. The host was exceptionally responsive and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. When we return to Bristol, this will be our first choice for a place to stay.
Rachel is an incredible host! The house is beautiful and clean! There was an unfortunate snowstorm when we stayed there and she sent someone to shovel and has so amenities that cooking at home was fun!

Lisa and her family were amazing guests. She took amazing care of our home and was very kind and pleasant to communicate with. We hope you'll be back when the weather is more pleasant.
Cute property, excellent location for anything you could need restaurants, shopping, pubs. House had all amenities needed for a thoroughly enjoyable stay!
Very clean property within walking distance to downtown Bristol. Smooth process and excellent communication with property owners. Will definitely stay again on our next trip to the area.
Lovely stay with beautifully furnished indoor areas, fun decks, modern appliances… all the creature comforts. We gladly give you a five out of five and would recommend this site to our friends and family!Thanks for the great communications!

Thank you, Tim, for your 5 star review. We're so glad you loved the home. It was a genuine pleasure to communicate with a guest like you. We would gladly host you any time.
We liked the location and the size was perfect for the two of us. The beds were too soft IMO and sloped toward the center so we ended up each sleeping in one bed.

Hello April, we are glad to hear the the location and size of the home was perfect for your stay. We are sorry, and surprised, to hear that the beds were soft and sloping. We have had guests rave about how comfortable the beds are and even asked what type of mattresses we use and where they can get them. We will, however, evaluate them further when we are there in person very soon. We hope to host you again in the future.
Rachel was an amazing host. Provided clear communication and thoughtful touches like a welcome basket with some snacks. The little house was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. It felt like a true home away from home. The location was perfect, just a short walk to State Street. The hot tub & fire pit provided us with quiet relaxing evenings after a busy day out. We would book this place again! Highly recommend.
We really enjoyed our stay here! Everything was very clean, and the decor was gorgeous! The back deck and firepit area was really great! We will definitely choose to stay here again!
We enjoyed being downtown and close to everything and even though you’re downtown the backyard, fence and decks make it a private oasis.

Why they chose this property
Located in the old Anderson neighborhood of Bristol, TN, birthplace of Tennessee Ernie Ford, you're just a short walk to historic downtown State Street, a five block commercial historic district, which offers shopping, dining, local breweries, and much more! The Birthplace of Country Music Museum and the new Hard Rock Casino are just minutes away. Several parks and walkways are close by for you to enjoy as well. Our home is in a residential neighborhood; therefore we expect our guests to keep the noise down, especially after hours.
