Thanksgiving with nearby family
Our Thanksgiving weekend was so much fun in Jonesborough! The town was bursting with holiday heart and festivities on “Black Friday” and “Small Business Saturday” - and not just at Gabriel’s Christmas shop! The apartment above Gabriel’s Christmas shop was perfectly located for taking in the quaintness of the oldest city in Tennessee. The apartment was comfortable for the two of us, and large enough to host a gathering of extended family for a few hours of game playing. The kitchen was kind of sparsely stocked, even for 2 people, but definitely lacking if extra guests/visitors are present. Stop at a grocer’s on your way in. No coffee (Keurig and auto-drip coffeemakers) or staples to get your first morning started.***The bed was really soft and that can be game changer (or ruin an otherwise perfect stay) for someone with a sensitive back.

Stay in TN
In the past we have stayed in traditional hotels. They have gotten so expensive. I decided to give the VRBO way a try. Worked out well. Found a great place in a great location for us. Clean, easy to get to. Better then a hotel. I'll be a VRBO going forward.

Location!
We had a wonderful long weekend staying at this property! The apartment is much bigger than the pictures show. We were pleasantly surprised. The apartment was so clean and well maintained. We would definitely stay here again.
My only feedback would be to replace the bed. It is small and not very comfortable, but certainly not the worst we have slept in

Historical Jonesborough, TN
We had a great “International Storyteller Festival” weekend in Jonesborough, TN! The apartment is in a perfect location…events were just a few-minutes walk away and it was very quiet at night as it is in the historic section which was blocked off all weekend. Parking was somewhat challenging, but not insurmountable. Must be able to climb up and down 23 steep steps. We highly recommend the host send renters check-in information much sooner. We were less than 2 hours out when we requested the information. Coffee maker uses K-cups! Beautiful town!

Great location!
This apartment was definitely in a great location for the many events the town has. Parking was not as convenient, but it wasn't terrible. Perhaps we'd have felt differently if the weather was not so nice. Overall, it was good for our needs.

Great Stay
Jonesborough is a great place to visit and this property was perfect. We walked the town, enjoyed Music on the Square, hit Corner Cup 4 times in 3 days, lunch at the cafe, and a dinner at the Texas Burrito. I would also recommend a run around town early in the morning or later in the day. Also, paddleboarding and hiking at Warrior's Path State Park are must do's.
Thanks for the perfect setting to unwind.

Picture Perfect!
Just as pictured in the listing and Jonesborough is straight out of a Hallmark movie. We were in TN for a weeklong softball tournament and used this as our home base. It had everything we needed and was a perfect distance to the ball fields. It had plenty of shops, exploring, dining, and activities for down time. Linzi was quick to respond to questions and the downstairs shopkeeper was so friendly! Loved the local evening activities (music, story telling, food trucks, movies, geocaching, trails, etc). Will definitely return to Jonesborough and to this darling VRBO rental!

Great location
A unique historic apartment in a great location for walking to shops and restaurants in Jonesborough.
Would highly recommend that the owner provide some coffee in the kitchen. This is a huge deal to coffee drinkers. We had to walk the streets looking for a place that was open on a Sunday morning to get a cup of coffee.

Wonderful stay in Jonesborough
Could not ask for a better location if you want to experience downtown Jonesborough. Property owner easy to communicate with.
Nicely decorated, comfortable bed, nice sheets and towels. Pictures are a good representation of the the property. Stairs were a bit of a challenge but manageable. Would recommend.

We drove through Jonesborough one time on our way back from Sugar Mountain, North Carolina and loved the glimpse of it that we had when we stopped to walk around. When it came time to get away to for a quick trip before our first baby arrived, we picked Jonesborough because of the history and charm the town possesses. Being able to stay above a store front, within walking distance to the shops, restaurants, historic walking tour and theater was perfect! Linzi was a wonderful host. The apartment was clean and well decorated. It had everything we needed! Can't wait to visit again!
