This is our second year in a row staying here and we love it. Next year, we will be living in TN, so now some other family can enjoy it. The host is super sweet and the house is SO SO accommodating for larger families. I would recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in the area!

Great home

The house was perfect for us as a family group was in town to handled the affairs of a deceased relative. It provided a well-equipped place to relax and discuss things after several trying days. And Anna provided us with strawberry shortcake! We would rent again.

Nice long weekend family getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Anna’s place. She was very nice and brought us snacks. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and had everything we needed. The patio was very relaxing and the kids enjoyed the river. Would definitely stay there again!!

Fantastic family property

Perfect home for our family (6 adults + 2 babies). Everything was very clean and comfortable. The hosts were very kind and left music playing and fresh fruit in the fridge. Really enjoyed the lovely backyard and porch area. We were in town for a family wedding and the location was very convenient for all the weekend activities.

We loved everything about our recent stay. Our family was in town for the National Softball Tournament and Anna could not have been more amazing!! Our only regret was not having more free time to enjoy relaxing in the beautiful yard. We saw baby fawns nursing with mom during the first few minutes of our arrival, a spectacular night time firefly experience my kids loved, and peace and quiet while having drinks on the patio several nights. The house itself was exactly what we needed. Amazingly comfortable beds in each of the 4 bedrooms, a comfortable living room and kitchen to hang out in - which included delicious home made chicken salad Anna left for us as a treat. I do not have enough kind things to say about her as a host or person. She was warm and quick to respond to every question and request we made - including a late night visit from our circus when we accidentally locked ourselves out (sorry again Anna!!). Truly a week we will never forget. I’m not sure we will ever get back to this beautiful area of Tennessee but if we do I can promise you that we know exactly where we plan on staying! Absolutely fantastic experience and a top notch host.

Relaxing stay in a nicely updated ranch on the river

We travel quite often and prefer staying in vacation rentals over hotels. This trip was to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from ETSU. I cannot say enough good things about the house and the hospitable host. It is obvious she cares about her guests with all the thoughtful details and extras. It has been updated and the decor is a perfect mix of antiques and modern features. You won’t have to worry about bringing much of anything other than your clothes. You will find everything you possibly need for cooking in the well stocked kitchen. It has a standard coffee maker, Keurig, crockpot, and all the cookware and utensils you can think of. There are even standard condiments, sugar, salt and pepper, lots of spices, etc. Toiletries are also provided. The house was very clean and the beds were the most comfortable of anywhere we have stayed. But the best part is the outdoor space with the large covered patio and lots of comfortable seating. There also is a fire pit area and the pristine Watauga River for fishing. There is an extra fridge on the patio for drinks and watermelon. The thoughtful host even left us fresh strawberries and cake for a graduation dessert. She was very quick to respond and available if we needed anything. Located in a nice neighborhood but within 5-10 minutes of all conveniences and within 25 minutes of ETSU. My only regret is that we didn’t know about it the past 4 years our daughter was in college. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely be staying here again to enjoy the river and some downtime.

For a house that was labeled as renovated, the only renovation I saw was somewhat fresh paint on the walls. The good of this rental was excellent communication with the Evolve rep. The house was generally clean, except for the kitchen (more on this later). The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of dishes, glasses utensils, coffee pots, etc. The fresh baked brownies were a welcomed and much appreciated touch. The not so good was the house was extremely dated. All of the furniture was very old and not so comfortable. The kitchen faucet handle is loose and needs repairs, The master bath shower faucet was loose and came off in my hands. I was able to screw it back on easily. The master bed was 2 mattresses and no box spring. Not very comfortable. The kitchen was not clean. There was a crock pot on the counter with old dried out food stuck to the outside. The refrigerator had many open containers of condiments that were very old and some were well past their expiration date. I threw at least 4 containers away but was pretty shocked at the condition of some of the others as well. We would use anything in the refrigerator, The doors and shelves were dirty and needed a good cleaning. The popcorn ceiling was dirty and falling down in some areas. I would not stay here again.
