Fantastic place for me and my family. The basement ceilings are low and might be a bit tricky for those over 6’ tall. Fortunately no of us are anywhere close to that height so it was perfect lol. The stay was fabulous. The hosts were tremendous. Definitely worth the stay!!

Property was great. Very clean. The Christmas decorations were a very nice unexpected touch. Also appreciated that they had the NFL network. The place was perfect for our family celebration. We did not spend much time outside but the view of the river was pretty.

Nice family stay
Good for a large family. Quick access to lots of activities. River was beautiful and loved sitting on all the porches. Beds were pretty comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. Our only complaint is that the temperature was really hard to control. The basement was freezing and the main level was hot.

Property was nice. Great location and very quiet home as far as noise during the night. With 4 couples you often hear people up and around throughout the night. This was very quiet. Loved the layout of the home. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Great home base for fishing
My family stayed at the house for a birthday fishing trip. TVA was generating a 1500cfs sluice so wade fishing was a no-go but fortunately we own a drift boat and fished four days. The house is on the river between Hunter bridge and 19 bridge in a good section of river - would be a great spot to wade if flows allow. The house itself is in a perfect location on the middle of the river and close to town. Provides close access to many stretches of the river and a quick 25 minutes to the SoHo. Would definitely stay again!

Overstone rental
For the rates being charged this old home needs a bit more updating. Beds were so hard, the musty smell of the home was overwhelming, and the towels and some of the linens need updating. The view and the dock was amzaing.

Nice place. No issues.
Very nice house. Kitchen is very old and hardwood floors were very worn, which made it feel a bit dirty. Other than those things, everything was perfect. Lots of linens and clean towels. Beds for 8 people. Wireless internet and satellite TV with all the channels. Great view of the river.

A Frigid Tennessee Christmas
From start to finish Gina was a great help to work with. They are remodeling the kitchen and let us know that the floor had just been replaced and the cabinets were being updated. The house was very clean and festively decorated for Christmas (inside and out)! Our family had a great time and would love to come back when we can enjoy the outdoor amenities. Thanks for everything!

Four generations
Four generations of our family, (79 years old to 9 months old, and 2 dogs) met at the River House. There was something for everyone! Relaxing on the deck, tubing in the numbing cold river, cooking and eating in the well-equipped house. We played games, relaxed on the deck and played in the river. There was plenty of room for everyone and even though it was +100° it was pleasant down by the river. We had one little problem and Sarah, the housekeeper was quick to make things right. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us.

This house is a great location right on the river with plenty to do at the house. It’s a very quiet part of town and easily accessible to hikes, fishing, Elizabethton, and Johnson City.

The Perfect River House
We booked the house for a family reunion. We fit the family quite nicely. We especially enjoyed witting on the deck by the river, chatting, and enjoying the outdoors. It was safe for the kids. We loved that there were games provided that we could play. We set up the badminton set, played ping pong, fished and made a fire. The whole family was entertained and quite happy. We loved how there was plenty of kitchen supplies to cook whatever we desired with ease. Only bad things were that the basement was extremely cold. But we found a container with blankets and had everyone bundle up. Also, the poison oak needs destroyed on the steps down to the river - it was avoidable, though.

Wonderful Family Vacation
Everything was perfect except the fishing part. Was not clear before payment that the river was not for regular fishing. The only fishing you could do is fly fishing in the middle of river or on a boat. The river never stopped flowing fast. After payment we received a email of a phone number to check the times the dam closed and it never did. We tried fishing anyway and lost so many lures, weights, and bait. Other then that, the home came with everything we needed. We would definitely rent again. Thank you
