Above and beyond our expectations
First off, I have never stayed in a cleaner rental than Billie and John's Farmstead. They make you feel so welcoming with all the little extras they add. Our whole stay there just had that warm relaxing feel. The fenced in area for our dog was a great addition to our stay. He even felt at home! And Billie and John are just the sweetest couple. We will definitely be back to visit. If you're visiting this area, this is the one!

Great location, plenty of space, great hosts
Excellent stay in all regards. We stayed for a week between leaving our rental and moving into our new house. Having our pets stay with us was especially wonderful. Plenty of space for all of us. Comfortable beds, great wifi, and equipped kitchen. Keyless coded entry made check-in super easy. Thank you John and Billie. You were so helpful.

This place was Perfect!!
Buddy and I spent weekend fishing the Watauga and stayed here for two nights. It was perfectly located between put in and takeout. It is very clean and comfortable. I also brought the pup and he loved it. Billie is a very gracious host and her place was stocked well with everything we needed. We will be back in a few weeks hopefully. Thank you, Billie!!

Quite renovated farm house-Welcoming hosts
My adult son and I stayed at Farmstead. The house was newly renovated. Property was well maintained and the house was spotless. The owners stopped by to make sure we had what we needed but did not intrude on our stay. They were very welcoming. I would highly recommend this property if you want a clean, reasonably priced, quiet house to stay in. It was only a 5 minute drive to downtown Elizabethon.

Such a beautiful home!
We had a wonderful stay. The house is immaculate, so well maintained. We were so comfortable. My dogs loved the fenced backyard. Marley met a cow on the other side of the fence. He was definitely suprised by that one. Thank you again for a lovely stay.

The Sweetest Host
The host communicated with us about how to access the house as we were getting in later than expected, The house was the cleanest house I have ever stayed. She and her husband let us know all of the attractions we could enjoy. They were very helpful in guiding us when ice was forming on the roads up the mountain to Beech Mountain. Also, there were supplies in the house if we had forgotten anything. They also had a very nice fire pit surrounded by chairs where our children enjoyed s'mores! We will for sure stay here again!!

Squeaky Clean
Absolutely the cleanest place we've ever stayed! Not a spec of dust anywhere! Amazing! The fenced back yard was perfect for our Mini Schnauzers. Great location for outdoor adventures. Close to Lake Watauga, Watauga River, Roan Mtn and the Appalachian Trail. The hosts were very nice and attentive as well. Thanks for a great stay! We will be back soon!

The hosts Billie + John are great, they are friendly, caring and respond to any questions or concerns. The property is as described and was a great base for exploring the area. The hosts have thought of everything you could need and provided it ahead of time. We will stay here again when we visit Northeast Tenn.
