Excellent property and location. Private setting with great long-range views from the screened porch. Kitchen fully stocked. Excellent space in house. When not on water we spent the majority of time on the screened porch. John and Penny excellent hosts and readily available.

What a beautiful home and great location! It felt like we were home away from home. Kitchen had everything we needed. Plenty of room for us to relax and spend quality time together. Great screened porch with the most beautiful view. Easy access to the race track. Communication with host was prompt and courteous. We definitely will be back!

Loved our stay here! Wish we were here longer to enjoy coffee on the screened in porch. Casper the local dog made an appearance - super friendly and stayed outside. Perfect amount of room and very comfortable for our family visiting for the Reds/Braves game at Bristol. Host was great in providing local recommendations. Highly recommend!

This was a perfect property to hold our family reunion! Lots of room for the kids to enjoy the outdoors in the afternoons and evenings, and amazingly peaceful for the grandparents in the mornings.The screened porch is marvelous! With the added bonus of the local wildlife of deer and bald eagles (and neighbor's fun loving dog) it made for a week we'll never forget! The hosts gave us recommendations for kids activities and were very helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had.
