Great place for a family
I visited Elizabethton last week with my brother and nephew for a family event. Everyone in the family agreed that the little house was wonderful. There was plenty of space for my nephew to play, and we took full advantage of the fire pit and laundry facilities. Debbie, the hostess, was also extremely friendly. I would highly recommend this listing.

Fishing trip lodging
Our group of three anglers stayed here for a 4-day fishing trip. This quirky-but-nice and clean house met our needs. It was a bit tricky for three unrelated people with only one bathroom only accessible through one of the bedrooms, but we made it work. Plenty of hot water, but very low water pressure in the shower. The property manager was very responsive and excellent in all respects.

Overall good experience
We stayed at this property for a travel baseball tournament. With two teen boys, we don’t sleep well in the same hotel room, so we try to VRBO anywhere we go. I’ll start off by saying that the house was clean, the hostess was great and even left us some gifts, there were plenty of linens, and overall we were pleased with our stay. A few things that could be a little more transparent in the listing are that the house is on a main road and across the dirt road from what looks like a house straight out of Breaking Bad. Considering my boys had just watched this show, they found it slightly humerous, but at first sight, this could be a little unsettling. In addition, this house is missing some siding that also could be a put off at first sight. It seems it may have been added onto recently, so they may be planning to fix that. The last detail, and probably most important for us, was that the two twin bedrooms do not have air conditioning. Teen boys generally run hot, so we were concerned that they would have trouble sleeping in these rooms. However, the hostess does provide box fans for those rooms, thank goodness, so after leaving their doors open for the day to cool off the rooms, the boys slept fine. Overall, we had a good experience. The people watching across the street was on point, and we were pleased with the extra mile the hostess went to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The house is a good middle point for Bristol, Johnson City, and Kingsport.

Pleasant surprise
Great stay. The property was spotless cleanest I stayed in and I travel a lot as I’m retired. It was well stocked and equipped, nice fire pit, free firewood, deck, and beautiful country. I will definitely stay again when in the area.

Family wedding
This house was in a good location, with lovely views in a quiet location. We were near a highway, but any noise was minimal. Owner was quick to respond to needs. We slept well and enjoyed wi-fi and DISH TV. I enjoyed time sitting on the deck to read while facing the huge mimosa tree.
