Brown Trout

A charming 1933 rustic log cabin located on the South Holston River with 700 feet of river frontage, and a beautifully  groomed lawn providing for great river access; terrific for wade fishing or to launch a kayak from the property.  This property is managed by Tailwaters Lodge.

Note: the cabin is equipped with a Ring system which has a view of the drive and the front entry way. 

Waterfront Access Notice

Tailwaters Lodge waterfront access is reserved exclusively for guests staying on the Tailwaters Lodge campus.

There are several beautiful public access points nearby. The TVA provides trails along the South Holston River, offering great opportunities for fishing, walking, and enjoying the scenery:

Blue: Tailwaters Trail (1.4 miles)

Red: Emmett Trail (1.1 miles)

Purple: Osceola Island Trail (1.8-mile loop)

Orange: Bouton Trail Loop (1.5 miles)

We recommend these nearby options for guests looking to experience the river during their stay.

Absolutely fantastic! Checkin was super easy and the owners shared lots of valuable info about the property and surrounding area. The views of the river from the porch and windows were fantastic. Having the grill near the fire pit was a great amenity for conversation and views. The four beds were great. We were incredibly satisfied with our trip and this cabin is a fantastic value!! Can’t wait to stay again!

We love this place. One can't find a better place to fish, that's for sure. And so much shore to walk. Amazing! The cabin's wrap-around deck offers an outstanding view of the river and it is so peaceful. After a fun day of fishing off the shore or in the river, your clean, comfortable cabin is the perfect ending for a perfect day.Paula, your host, is fantastic at communication and quick to reply. You don't find that all VRBO's. We will definately be back.
