Scenic hideout minutes from North Johnson City
Beautifully remodeled house overlooking a gorgeous scenic bend in the Watauga River--feels remote but is only five minutes from the Bristol Highway in north JC. A rustic modern feel inside, a great bed, and outside, beautiful deck with hot tub providing gorgeous river views. Bryan is attentive but not intrusive and responds to questions instantly.

Great stay right on the River
We really enjoyed our week at the River house. Bryan could not have been a better host, there was nothing he would not do. The house has been tastefully restored and the location right on the river is ideal. Bryan has great plans for the area do I am sure it only gets better for future stays.

A GREAT Christmas!!
We had an epic Christmas this year on the bank of the river! We appreciate everything Bryan did to make this holiday so memorable in this wonderful property. Cool mountain mornings, hot coffee, wildlife, hot tub! Really doesn’t get any better! Thanks for everything! Highly recommended!

Great location--and super clean
If this place is available, grab it! My husband stayed here for a week, and it was everything we were looking for. The house has been recently remodeled and was very clean -- comfy beds, wifi and tv! Situated right next to the river with kayaks to use. Getting into town was only about 10 minutes, yet this location was remote and private! The only neighbors we saw were the cows mooing across the street, and the frogs that live in the little pond. Highly recommended!
