"We traveled from Philadelphia to Bland for a family funeral and this house was the perfect home away from home. It is very comfortable and well stocked with all we needed. The setting was peaceful and beautiful. The kitchen window provided a lovely view of the sunrise over the mountains. The location was amazing. Very close to the AT and other great hiking and biking. Laura was very responsive to any questions and the booking and check in processes were a breeze. We look forward to our next...

"Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay at Sweet Retreat. While it was cold and snowy outside we were able to relax in a spacious home and also partake of the hot tub. Large fenced backyard was great for the pup while in the summer it would combine great with the pool and outdoor amenities!"

"Had a lovely time. House is great and beautifully furnished. Enjoyed all the rooms. Some suggestions: 1. the bunk bed room was freezing cold, might want to add a heat source 2. You should advertise that there are two refrigerators in the kitchen. We loved that, but we all brought large coolers for beverages and they weren’t needed. 3. Problem in the upstairs bathroom, the sink did not drain properly. May want to look at that immediately. 4. Those who used that upstairs bath suggested...

"The listing states "step back in time" and that certainly sets the tone. If you are looking for a place to stay where peace and nature are the main features, look no further. Nice accommodations, plenty of heat sources to help you stay warm, kitchen is fairly well stocked with pots, pans, spices, oils to help make meals with. I personally loved the that there was a new kitchen sponge waiting for me (it's the little things). Back porch is covered with a tin roof. We sat out there for over an hour...

"Quaint property by the creek had everything we needed."

"This property is very remote but there is a small town about 10 minutes away. Host is very nice. Unfortunately, during our stay, there was no wi-fi internet, no cell service and no land-line. So we were completely cut off from the outside world and we survived! Host was very apologetic about wi-fi that was cut out by Hurricane Helene and has not been able to be fixed, yet. Only cellular service that works in the area is US Cellular. T-Mobile has a weak signal. Verizon and Spectrum have no...

"We enjoyed our stay in this clean and comfortable home. It is in a charming rural area but still close to I-81, Abingdon, Bristol and Marion. We were close to lots of great hiking. We would stay here again!"

"From booking to departure communication was on point. Upon entering there was a welcome basket with home instructions, waters and snacks. Such a nice welcome! The home was stocked with everything you need to start your trip, right down to coffee (kcups) cream, sugar and breakfast bars! The kitchen was well stocked. The bathroom with everything needed (shampoo, conditioner, body wash and toiletries) was so nice and rarely seen in an VRBO rental! The hot tub was heavily with our morning...

"This place is an absolute gem! It’s a beautiful home perfectly situated in the mountains. Our family felt very comfortable and right at home during our Christmas vacation. The house had everything we needed for a week-long retreat. The mountain views were stunning, and we enjoyed visits from wildlife each morning and evening on the patio. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus, providing a relaxing retreat at the end of each day. "

"Our stay at the River House was everything we hoped it would be for our Thanksgiving visit. It’s a tranquil setting along the river and plenty of amenities for the kids and adults. Sharon and Bob are consummate hosts. We hope to stay again on our return visit. "
