Love this cabin

We’ve stayed in this cabin a few times before. It’s close to Bristol and the SoHo river. Great hiking paths, both flat and hilly close by. Sit on the porch and watch the deer.

Simple Get Away

Very nice and simple place to stay. Clean and cute inside. Only drawback is the beds. The mattresses in both rooms need to be replaced. If that’s done it would be pretty awesome.

THE BEST!!

This small cabin was absolutely perfect! The stove is amazing and the cabin came with a good supply of basic food items. Wi-Fi was good and our dogs enjoyed the large yard to run around in. I would definitely recommend staying in this cabin!

Nice Little Getaway

The cabin was perfect for what we wanted. Located about 10-15 minutes from nearest grocery, but away from the hustle noise. The Weir dam is two minutes away with a nice walking trail around Osceonta Island. The one possible drawback to either cabin is that they are very close to each other. if both cabins were rented, you might have neighbors right next door. Thankfully, we were there alone. Cleanliness got docked a star because the rugs were covered in dog hair, otherwise everything else was clean and anything you might need was there. Altogether a great place to reset and relax, while still being close to Bristol.

Great stay after a long day of traveling

My husband and I are moving to the area and needed a place to stay before we closed on our new home. We traveled for 12 hours and when we walked into the cabin, it was perfect. It is secluded. There was room for my dogs to stretch their legs. My husband and I both work remotely and we had no problems with the Wi-Fi. It was perfect. It was well stocked and we had everything we needed. The host was quick to respond with questions. I would definitely recommend this cabin if you are looking for peace and quiet.

Just what we hoped for.

The only issue was from the Evole site. I clicked the link on the evolve sight for directions, which took us to 2 other cabins in Bristol, at Scott's orchard hill cabins. No problem, I called the owner John and got the correct address. The cabin was clean, well stocked, updated. Check in & out was simple. Owner got right back to my request for check in info. Overall pleasant stay, will definitely come back if we get back to the area.

Beautiful get a way

We enjoyed our stay in the cabin. It was quiet and clean with a huge area for dogs to run around. We were glad they could stay with us. There were massive amounts of gnats within the cabin, that would be the only complaint.

Great place for a weekend getaway!

My fiancé and I rented the cabin for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary. We loved it! It's at a great location close to a nature walking trail with spots for fishing and kayaking. You can also make a 10 minute drive to kayak on the Holston Dam which was beautiful. The cabin itself was clean, cozy and really well stocked for cooking and plating up. It also had a grill which we used a couple of times. The Wi-Fi is really good, if you're planning to work.
