Perfect little bungalow just minutes from Bristol

Race-cation stay!

Came into town to run the Troublesome Hollow 50k in Bristol and made it into a race-cation. FANTASTIC location, so convenient to State St and all of the establishments and just a short drive to the start/ finish line of the race. We took advantage of all of the recommendations in town for food & drink and we’re quite pleased with every one! The house is comfortable,quiet, and so cute we’d definitely stay again as I’m sure there will be more opportunities.

Great home in perfect locale

I chose the property due to its proximity to downtown and capacity. My sister-in-law joined us at the last minute and John was happy to accommodate. The property was perfect for out needs and was spotless when we arrived. Everything worked and we were very comfortable with our choice. We will probably try to book this home again on our next visit to Bristol, Tennessee.

A GREAT HOME AWAY FROM HOME

Attention to detail throughout. They thought of everything and really, it was a home away from home. Nice, quiet neighborhood; very prompt with any communication, great recommendations! This in not a slapped together VRBO. It is tastefully decorated with purpose and functionality, and comfort. I hope to return again!! Thank you!

Cozy Cottage

We loved our stay in Bristol. It was a very relaxing stay for us. The house was extremely clean and as described on VRBO. The house provided everything we needed; unlike many other VRBO's we have stayed at in the past. The owner's even left us a thank you note. What a nice touch! The only con was the picture of the outside of the house showed a flat surface going to the house. This is one of the reasons I chose this house. My husband is in a wheelchair. There were several steps we had to maneuver that made it a little difficult.

Absolutely amazing!!

The house is so cute! I loved the skeleton keys placed around the house - i have always been obsessed with them. You guys thought of everything! We were so excited when we walked in and saw just how cute and cozy the house was and the water bowls and treats for the dogs. We come to Bristol for the race and just to visit and this house will be our go to moving forward. Thank you for being so accomodating by allowing the pups and allowing us to extend our stay a day. The board in the kitchen with restaurant information for the area was a great touch! We will be back to visit again - hopefully sooner than later.

About the host

Hosted by John Wright

Host profile image
My wife and I are lifelong residents of the area and love the outdoor activities that are available here. We spend a lot of time at South Holston Lake (less than 15 mins from downtown Bristol), hicking the mountain ranges, riding bikes on the Appalachian Trail, fishing the North Holston River, and the occasional 4X4 trip through the Holston Mountain trails. We also love the growth in downtown Bristol! Good food, great beer, and lots of great music!!
