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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

The cabin was conveniently located to Bristol Motor Speedway. This made for a short commute after a long day at the track. Cabin was clean and perfect for a quick weekend getaway.

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.

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.
5.0 / 5.0
The cabin was just as advertised. Close enough to town while still being in nature. We saw wildlife everywhere. Will definitely come back.

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.

Haven in East Tennessee
Everything was very clean. The cabin was small but nicely designed and was equipped with everything you need. It was a fairly isolated location with only another cabin a short distance away. It was quiet, clean and comfortable. The property manager contact John was available and responsive. Checking in and out was easy and low key, no hard and fast rules. Overall, everything was great! I would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful stay
This cabin has everything we needed except there is no washer and dryer.
Dryer would be helpful after a full day of fly fishing and to dry up the fishing cloth, but we will definitely come back and book this again

Beautiful
This was a beautiful cabin just down from the dam. It is a short distance from boat ramps and grocery but in the country where it is peaceful and relaxing. Cabin has everything you need to stay comfortably for a week - AC, heaters, ceiling fans, dishes, nice linens, comfy beds, comfy furniture, fire pit, grill, outdoor furniture, the list goes on and on - John has thought of everything you may need. The host, John, is very responsive with quick with responses as needed and very respectful. I would stay here again if I'm in the area. Thank you John for a peaceful and relaxing vacation.

Accurate description, incredibly clean and professional communication all around. Needed to check in on my in-laws and be careful to keep them safe. The cabin was perfect distance to the river and I was able to take breaks from the cold to warm up. Excellent fishing cabin. I would love to bring my family back! -M.R.S. , Texas

Perfect fisherman’s lodging
This place was fantastic, clean and modern, plenty of space to park my truck and boat, external outlets to charge up at night, remote so I didn’t have to worry about a break in but not so far that getting to the lake was a hassle. Perfect property for my needs, I was very happy.
