About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Fully furnished 3 BR 3 BA house to escape the hustle of the city.
This house sits on 15 acres with a private pond. Relax on one of the 2 decks as you watch the wildlife and waterfowl that call the pond home. This house has 3 bedrooms, 1 with a queen, 1 with a full size and the third with 2 full size beds. There are 3 full baths, 2 with showers and one with a tub. Washer, dryer, coffee maker and a full set of pots/pans and dishes are ready for your use. The house is equipped with WIFI and a TV in the living room, but I set this up as a reminder of when I was growing up and families spent time with each other, not connected to electronics, so the TV only has over the air channels or you can use your favorite streaming service. For winter visitors, there is a propane and wood burning fireplace to take the chill off and extend that country feel. Of course if that’s not your thing, the house has a central heat and air unit. There is a selection of board games to be enjoyed or just quiet conversation in the sunroom overlooking the pond if the weather is not good outside. The house is located within 15 minutes of Bristol Motor Speedway, 30 minutes to the Cherokee National Forest and just over an hour and a half to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The cities of Kingsport, Johnson City and Bristol have a great selection of National and local restaurants to meet any food likes if you decide you’d rather eat out. Like to fish? The pond has bass, bluegill and catfish. Must have a TN fishing license. Kids love to see and interact with the goats and donkeys at the barn (please see the rules in the booklet in the house about this).

Host is the best and the property is amazing! We love walking around the lake, visiting with all the animals, doing puzzles and playing games in the sunroom while looking out over the lake. It’s so peaceful and relaxing here. There are many new updates: fresh paint, new tv, new furniture and curtains in the sunroom and incredibly comfortable new beds/mattresses in all the bedrooms. The kitchen is nice and well stocked. The dining room has plenty of seating and there is a second table in the sunroom too you can eat at. Three bathrooms and showers and the property is always very clean. What more can you ask for?! We can’t wait for our next visit!

Excellent location in the Country! I had only one disappointment, there were no dresser, outman or anywhere in two of the bedrooms to sit your suitcase. Living out of a suitcase when you're over 60 on the Floor was rough. Besides that it was an excellent stay!

Our stay was relaxing, the home is always clean and comfortable. We have stayed at this property for several years, and have enjoyed it each time. It is near restaurants and shopping, while also being in a very quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed watching the farm animals across the pond. Thanks for another wonderful stay!!!

This is a spacious home, with a beautiful front room that faces a pond. It's in a very relaxing location. Furniture is minimalist, could use an extra chair. On this trip, my sisters and I spent 3 days there and went to Barter theater to watch "Frozen." My nephew enjoyed the fishing. Great place, great show. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to relax.

Family Fall Trip 2024
It was awesome. The owner was very friendly and welcoming to his home. It was perfect for our family. This was my Moms first trip away since my Dads recent passing and things couldn't have been more peaceful and calming. Just what we needed. The home was nice and clean, and very cozy. The property was just gorgeous!!
Thank you so much for sharing your home.
After we gained entrance into the house The house met our needs as we were attending a conference in Kingsport. A fenced in yard for the dogs would have been nice, but we brought long lines to run them. We pretty much just slept at the House. Bob was very helpful. The first day we came the animals At the adjacent Barn we’re a delight to see in the morning. The pond was beautiful. I would recommend this house to anyone traveling with Dogs or Traveling around Kingsport.
One recommendation would be to increase the size of the table between the beds because there was no place to put phone chargers. Another minor thing the beds in the double bedroom were awfully low 👍

We were lucky enough to find this property and spend a week there. Four women and we had enough space for us all. We were out the door early each day and busy until evening when we could come back and enjoy the back decks overlooking the private pond. Then comfortable beds to sleep in. A charming home with plenty of seating, Easy checkout. Couldn't have asked for more!

A little slice of heaven
Bob is great! This is the third year we have brought our city dwelling grandchildren here to experience a little country life. This place is fabulous and the host is so friendly and kind to the little ones. Feeding and learning about the animals is so wonderful! The children don't want to leave and are asking when we can return as soon as we get in the car. The layout of the house is unique. Watching and feeding the turtles right off the deck is a bonus. The wildlife is amazing as well. This place is located within distance of so many attractions, lots to do if you want to leave this restful place. We would love to stay again!!!

Peaceful Haven
The home itself was very comfortable and filled our needs perfectly, but the setting was exceptional. There were farm animals nearby, and ducks and Canadian geese around the pond just outside the house, with several decks where we could relax and enjoy nature. There is a very impressive willow on the property where the geese rested, and I enjoyed seeing the many dragonflies that were around.
