Disappointed
We seen the reviews and thought they may have been exaggerated. I can handle rustic, however, the house was dirty, cobwebs everywhere, dangerous steps... We were embarrassed to have our family there. On a positive note it was the most beautiful view I have ever seen.

Nice property. Is on 3 levels which wasn’t a problem. A few lights were out in different areas of the house. The motion light in front didn’t work. We enjoyed the area and the house, it was everything that the post said. We would stay again, very relaxing. Would recommend it.

Our second time renting this property
This was our second time renting this house. We love the lake views, the private boat dock, and proximity to Laurel Marina—it’s all about spending time on South Holston Lake for us. There’s a LOT of stairs which may be difficult if you have older family members, but overall it’s a really great rental home for people who enjoy nature and the beauty of Tennessee!!

Great view! Great access.
We had a fantastic time. The views were incredible and the access to the marina which was just a short walk up the road and the dock which was just down a few stairs made for a perfect week.

Great Holiday Week
We had our family with us to ring in the New Year. There were a few quirks to the home, but everything worked well and it was an accommodating home for all of us and our dogs. I appreciated the prompt communication with Bernard. Since we visited in December, we did not use the lake, but there was plenty to do at the house and in Bristol.

There were million dollar views. The stairs were dangerous.House was dirty.
We felt blessed that there were no injuries on the stairs. As the outdoor stairs were not very stable & lacked treads on the steps. The screen door at kitchen was broken, table was wobbly, the drain board in kitchen was filthy, sink in master bath area was very dirty, bath tub was dirty as was the floor. The kitchen was not very nice. The lighting in the house was not good on stairways. Some lights made noises when turned on. The circular stairs to the third floor were not very stable. We enjoyed the views from the house & enjoyed the area. There were no bath mats, hand towels. An area rug in the living room would have helped with the cold floors. The house was not really acceptable for anyone in their 60’s or older. Actually we felt we were in great grandma’s house with million dollar view! So many old / out dated decorations that were dusty & unattractive! Pictures on VRBO were nicer than what we actually found in the house! We were blessed to have had a wonderful family time - due to the fact that we were able to adjust to the oddities of the house.

Great Views in Bristol
Overall we really enjoyed our time. We rented the home for a family vacation and enjoyed having everyone in the same home. The views from the home were stunning and we enjoyed grilling/eating out on the deck. Although listed as a 4 bedroom it lives like a 3 bedroom because you must walk through the loft space which has no door to get to the 4th bedroom. Since we had couples this was an issue for us. We thought about moving one couple to the sunroom which is listed as additional sleeping space but there are no shades or blinds of any kind so it would have been impossible to sleep there. That being said we enjoyed hanging out in the sunroom it is just not conducive as a sleeping area. Overall a nice home just be aware that there are only 3 private sleeping areas.
