Redesigned Family/Pet Friendly 🐶 Carriage House Minutes walk to Downtown

You'll be staying in the newly remodeled, best lil' Carriage House in JC! She's cozy, she's quaint, she's quirky (oh, hey, dip!) and she's located near DT, ETSU, hospitals, the VA, Highway 26 (aka the fastest route to a whole bunch of other awesome places to daytrip!)… Essentially, this is where you and your family want to be to enjoy the best that JC has to offer. Whether you're coming for a wedding, funeral, fun in the mountains, work, or just exploring a new place, the Carriage House will welcome you home!

Welcome to the historic Crooked Carriage House! This cozy guest house is nestled in the popular Tree Streets neighborhood of Johnson City. Her quirks include a little dip in the kitchen floor and some other "crooked" characteristics that only add to her charm. Please do not book if you are concerned about settling... and please read on if you love special places because she surely is that.

Okay, now that we've got that out of the way!

You'll be in a peaceful and beautiful neighborhood a few minutes' walk or drive to Downtown Johnson City where you can enjoy the summer festivals, music in the park, dinner at a great restaurant, or a cold beverage at one of the breweries. We think this is the best neighborhood in JC and we think you will, too.

Walk your pup around the neighborhood and spot the trees located in the state-certified arboretum. Take your littles to Founders Park and let them run off some of that energy in the large, open field.

We're centrally located to some stellar mountain hikes, the Nolichucky River, a few lakes where you can rent boats or enjoy the beach. We're about an hour's drive through some gorgeous mountains and breathtaking views to Asheville. It's really the best of both worlds - stay in JC, avoid the crowds and pricing of AVL, but be close enough to take a daytrip if there's something in particular you want to explore.

We have lots of recommendations on our favorite things to do, see, and eat in JC and Asheville, if you're interested!

Please note: The Carriage House shares a driveway with the main home (another listing of ours if you need a larger place) so you'll need to park on the left side only. The Carriage House guests do not get access to the main home backyard.

Wonderful and clean property, walking distance to all the charm Johnson City has to offer in a quiet neighborhood. Very well-equipped for cooking in or hanging out. Really great start to finish. Easy check-in, no issues with the door code which has happened in many of our previous VRBO stays. Good communication from the hosts.

We had an excellent experience with this host and this property. It’s in the perfect location in Johnson City to be quiet at night (minimal train noise) but within walking distance to all of the downtown restaurants/breweries. The rental was well equipped and extremely clean. I really enjoyed the character within the home, in addition to the welcoming decor. As a property manager for almost 10 years, the responsiveness and communication was my favorite part. We alerted them of a potential need for batteries in the keypad by the end of our stay but they had batteries delivered within two hours. We would stay here again for sure.

Family Trip

The property was great and the host made sure everything was there that we could need. It was a perfect little place to stay. The rest of our family was staying at the main house, so this worked well as our own little space to tuck the kids in at night so we could then rejoin the rest of the family!

Amazing location and place

This place was exactly what we were looking for. It was a beautiful place, plenty of room and has everything you need for an extended stay. The best part had to be the location though. It is tucked away into a little neighborhood so it was quiet and quaint. However, it was also walkable to plenty of places that we wanted to see. It had everything we wanted and I would stay there again in the future if I ever make it back there.

Great little bungalow in JC

We enjoyed our stay and would do it again for a visit into Johnson City.It was clean, well decorated, and comfortable for a family of 4. Appropriately priced relative to size and being a shared property ( they rent both the main house and this cottage we stayed in over the unattached garage.). Hosts were great and very responsive.
