Boone Lake Haven with beautiful sunset views
We had an absolutely amazing stay at this house in Piney Flats! The view from the house was breathtaking, and the location was perfect for a relaxing weekend. Jessica was a fantastic host—extremely responsive and always willing to help with any questions we had. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend staying here!

Watauga Lake Home with Private Dock - 3bedrooms
This was a very comfortable home. Spacious and beautiful, and very clean, with gorgeous grounds. I loved all of the beautiful artwork on the walls! We were there for race weekend at Bristol, so we weren’t able to spend a lot of time just enjoying the property, but would love to come back one day for that. I would definitely recommend!

Boone Lake Retreat
Awesome house. Awesome neighborhood. Fishing poles provided. Great story for a great house. Will stay again next year for Large Cars and Guitars V!!!

Holston River House
This is the 2nd time we have stayed here. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! If you need rest and relaxation this is where you need to be. It is extremely peaceful. You will not be disappointed.

Lake Therapy
Lake therapy! It is just that. It has something for everyone. Me and my family had a ball. From going to the drag strip to sitting on the dock enjoying the lake! Lake therapy is what we needed! Amanda was an amazing host from the beginning to the end! We will most diffidently be back! Thank you Amanda!

Waterfront Bristol Area Retreat w/ Boat Dock
The house was tremendous. Really enjoyed our stay great views of the property. Beds was comfortable. House was spotless. The house felt like home away from home and I would definitely recommend this house to anyone. Thank you Todd and your family for everything and we will be returning.

Riverside cottage, Cozy’s Nest, Elizabethton, TN
Tresa’s Cozy Nest was just that! Very quaint southern cottage. The decor was homey and unique, lots of history there. Everything you need is there, whether in the kitchen, bath or bedrooms. Loved looking out at the river in backyard. Wish weather was warmer during our stay to enjoy “rockin’ on the front porch”. Grocery store close by was very convenient. Will definitely be back again. Highly recommend!

*New* Waterfront Construction
Great spot convenient to Bristol etc. Cute town nearby and right on the river!

Explore Linville: 2 Bed Escape
Seth's place has so much character. We enjoyed all the decor and the creative touches. There was four of us and even though the place is not big, there was enough room to spread out and get some privacy. The location is good and the neighborhood felt safe and comfortable. The fenced in yard was a nice feature we weren't expecting. One thing to note, the master bedroom doesn't have an air conditioner so you have to sleep with the door open when its hot. I'd recommend adding one. Thanks Seth!

Linville Lodge-Golf, Lake, Hike & Swim!
We loved everything about our stay! The house was so cute, clean and exactly as described. Thoughtful and fun decor and toys for kids was a big plus. Tonyia was quick to respond and very helpful. There was a book of instructions/info in the house that was also useful. Overall this house was a perfect place to stay and we will absolutely stay again!

The Eagle's Nest w/Paddle Boards and Kayaks.
If you're looking to unplug and get away from it all, this mountain cabin is exactly what you need. Tucked far off the beaten path, it's surrounded by stunning scenery and just a short walk from the lake. The cabin itself is cozy yet spacious, with one bedroom but plenty of sleeping space for a group (we had 8 adults and were very comfortable). It’s stocked with all the essentials for a relaxing stay, no need to go anywhere unless you really want to. Would recommend taking extra toilet paper and paper towels. If you're someone who likes to dine out, be prepared to drive. Restaurants and stores are quite a distance away, so plan ahead and bring what you need. But honestly, that's part of the charm, it's a place meant for staying in, slowing down, and enjoying the quiet. The deck deserves a special mention, it’s hands-down the most relaxing part of the property. Whether you're sipping a drink, reading a book, or just soaking in the view, it's the perfect place to unwind.

Lake house on Appalachian Trail
Great place. Fantastic views

Quiet & cozy cabin adjacent to open woodlands
I planned a few days at Grandfather Mountain and the surrounding area. Chris’ location was perfect, just a few minutes away. It was clean and comfortable and it was exactly as described. It was very well stocked and had lots of little extras, including area information and even having the light/fan switches labeled for convenience. I definitely recommend his house and plan to use it again when I’m in the area.

Comfy Farmhouse at Watauga Lake
Perfect stay for our family! Incredibly clean, beautiful decor. The hosts have paid close attention to detail and this house had everything we needed and more! We enjoyed the fenced in yard and fire pit. The sound machines in each bedroom were a great touch, and all the beds slept great! This is truly one of the nicest airbnbs I have ever stayed in. The hosts are so friendly and respond quickly. I would recommend this place to anyone and we will definitely be back!

Indoor Sauna, Hot Tub & Golf
Billy’s place was great for our family and dog. Tucked away in a golf course community with a great backdrop of the woods, it was very peaceful for us. With a big kitchen and open living space, it was easy for us to stay all weekend and relax. Would for sure stay here again.

NEW Papa's Place on 1st hole Linville Land Harbor
Loved Papa's Place and you will too. It was exactly as described and beautifully furnished. Having cocktails on the deck overlooking the 1st green of the golf course was a plus. Sarah was always responsive and easy to communicate with and when we had a special situation concerning our arrival was accommodating and understanding. I would highly recommend staying here if you are considering something in Linville Land Harbor. You will not be disappointed! We hope to return in the future.

Panoramic Sunset!
Great place with beautiful sunset over the mountain. Spacious housing with everything you "need". With one message Tricia cleared all of my questions.

Family Friendly! 4BDR/3BA Pine Haven Getaway
we were here for work so we did not spend alot of time in the neighborhood. Friendly neighbors though. Clean, comfortable home. This is a golf community. Lots of golf carts.

Evergreen Cottage
We loved staying in the quaint cabin! Beautiful surroundings in a lovely neighborhood. The rooms are clean and well presented. Lots and lots of amenities in the kitchen - down to available scissors and tape. A/C system works great! Hot showers. Easy to get inside.

Brand new mountain home in great location
Greta new beautiful home! Host was very responsive. Thank you!!

TN-BUC-TU @ Watauga Lake
We had a wonderful stay at Tawnya’s place on Watauga Lake! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel right at home—warm, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. The home itself is perched right on the lake with stunning mountain views all around. We especially loved the lakeside gazebo and cozy evenings by the fire pit. It was peaceful, beautifully kept, and more than met our expectations. Tawnya checked-in occasionally to make sure we were comfortable during our stay. We’ll most certainly be back—highly recommended!

Boone lake house-On Boone Lake
Our stay was short, but had all we needed! The home was nestled in a peaceful area that felt safe for me to bring my whole family on another stay in the future, and Bradford communicated very well! We had a weekend at the NASCAR race that always has questionable weather and circumstances, and Bradford was willing so work with us on our stay based on our needs for the weekend which was very appreciated!! Highly recommend!

Lake House Living
Russell’s place was picturesque! Easy to find, easy check-in. Beautiful views all around. Our 2 families spent a lot of time on the wrap-around porch and chilling in the lake. Gorgeous views of the lightning storm above the trees. Lots of local wildlife: we saw hundreds of fireflies? Some deer, possums, Canadian geese, birds, cats, cows, squirrels. I don’t know that I’d come back with toddlers again, but we made it work. Would definitely recommend to a big group of adults! Plenty of big comfy beds!

Cool off in a Mountain Retreat!
My husband and I lost our home to Helene. We had to quickly move from our temporary shelter due to plumbing issues and Jordan quickly accepted our same-day booking which was made late in the afternoon. He was very compassionate and understanding of our situation. His home was a safe-haven retreat for us after long days of debris clean-up and volunteering. It is beautifully decorated with a zen feel and lots of cozy blankets. The kitchen is fully stocked so we were able to prepare our meals since most of the restaurants were closed due to flooding. After two weeks of eating at our local shelter, it was so comforting to cook a hot meal. Both bathrooms were clean and brightly lit. A hot shower is a luxury we had missed and we were very thankful to have power and water again. Even though this stay wasn’t a vacation, it allowed us the opportunity to rest our bodies & minds to prepare for the long journey of rebuilding. Thanks again, Jordan, for offering us sanctuary among the storm.
