About this property

Whistling Timbers Cabin

** Rates $205-$255 per night**  Great getaway cabin in the woods nestled on 38 acres, bordering 34,000 acres of Cherokee National Forest, the property offers privacy and seclusion. This beautiful cabin in the woods is located just below the South Holston Dam and across the street from the South Holston River, one of the finest trout streams in the East, and just around the corner from Tailwaters Lodge who manages this property. Check out the breath-taking view of the South Holston Lake at the top of the dam, hike or bike the many surrounding trails, spend time fishing the lake or the river, and take a drive into downtown Bristol TN/VA; the home of Country Music; this cabin offers all types of outdoor fun and activities. 

The cabin in the woods has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, family room, and a well appointed kitchen. Relax on the fantastic deck outside looking at the stars at night or sit around the outdoor fire pit. If it should rain, enjoy the propane gas fire log set inside and play games around the kitchen table. Pets are welcome; additional pet fee applies. 

Outdoor security system is operational on premises and captures video from the driveway and turn around.
