Summary: Excellent!!!!
Debra E. Mar 11, 2025 07:40:16 PM
Summary: Everything was great and we felt very welcomed and comfortable.
Eli W. Nov 20, 2024 02:47:24 AM
Summary: Been hosting trips to the area for over a decade fly fishing on the Watuaga and SoHo. Our scheduled trip was in jeopardy due to the destruction from Helene and our normal lodging was heavily damaged by the flooding and closed for repair. It is a large group(10) men that enjoy the outdoors, fishing, cooking together, and a good time. This was the only place that we felt would accommodate all of us. And it did!!! It was loaded with amenities and really enjoyable. Vance is attentive and keeps up communication. Highly recommend!

Summary: The place is made for relaxation and fantastic amenities
Jannice S. Sep 17, 2024 01:12:02 AM
Summary: Perfect for our large family. Finally enough bedrooms. 😊 We enjoyed the river, hot tub, theater, and games. Thank you, Vince for the use of your fishing poles. We want to come back and tube the river. The porches were very relaxing and the perfect place to connect with friends.

Summary: We rented the home for an 80th birthday party with family. This place is truly a venue.The river view and easy access to the river were a huge hit with everyone. The deck was well maintained with plenty of nice seating. We didn't use the hottub but Vince had it ready to use if we needed it. All the bedrooms were huge with private baths. There was enough room for everyone to spread out. The kitchen was well maintained and stocked. I was not able to get in touch with Vince through the VRBO messaging or on the phone # I was given. I had to call VRBO to have him contact me. The day before we left we still had not received check-in instructions. The communication prior to the visit was a little frustrating. However, Vince was extremely accomadating, showing us the home features and calling to ensure everything was going well. Absolutely the nicest guy.

Summary: My husband, adult children, their spouses and our three grandgirls (10, 7, and 2) had a delightful time at this spacious, will outfitted river retreat. So very nice for everyone to have their own space and great spaces indoors and out to gather, hangout, enjoy the nature right outside. Our host responded within minutes to every request.

Summary: Wataugua River was spectacular feature. We enjoyed fishing, wading in the shallows and just the view from large back porch. The house was large and accommodated our big group extremely well. Kitchen was easy to use to make meals for everyone. it was especially great that all bedrooms had an en suite bathroom. Beds were very comfortable & king-size. Location had easy access to stores or anything needed in Elizabethton. Owner & host were very friendly & accommodating.
