About this house rental
Nestled on the South Holston River, Serenity Lodge is a pet-free home and offers a peaceful retreat for a family getaway or a long weekend away for the guys or the gals. The house sits up on a hill, overlooking the river. Whether you visit our lodge for a fishing getaway, a NASCAR weekend or something else, we work hard to make sure your stay is amazing. We can't wait to meet you!
We are conveniently located for easy access to all of the Tri-Cities (Bristol, Kingsport, Johnson City) and Bristol, Virginia.
Within minutes from the lodge:
2.2 miles to Big Springs TWRA Public Access Boat Ramp
7.7 miles to Bristol Motor Speedway
9.6 miles to South Holston Dam
9.6 miles to Downtown Bristol (Rhythm & Roots Reunion)
14 miles to Bristol Regional Medical Center
14.9 miles to The Pinnacle (shopping & food)
17.8 miles to TRI City Airport
17.8 miles to Johnson City, TN
Our guests will enjoy all aspects of the lodge during their stay. We have a beautiful picnic area attached to the lodge that is enclosed on 3 sides perfect for cooking out. We call this "The Alcove". We also have a dock on the river that sits at the foot of our property. (You can either walk down the front lawn and across the street *about 100 yards**, or drive your vehicle to park on the pull-off next to the dock.) It houses 2 picnic tables for eating right on the water.
NOTE: Fishing in front of our property is prohibited from November 1st through February 1st, as this section of the river is closed for spawning during this time frame. There are other sections of the river that remain open, just not directly in front of our house.

We stayed at the Serenity Lodge for the second year during the Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion. A well-equipped and lovely property located a short drive from town, it provides a restful and welcome retreat from the noise and crowds of the festival. We especially enjoyed the entertainment barn where the musician in our group entertained us with quiet music.
4.8
The house was as shown in pictures. Beautiful property and location. It is on a hill and the driveway is gravel and quite steep. The steps in the house to the upstairs master are steep also. We loved the outside building with the picnic tables and lights, it was perfect! Definitely will be going back for future visits!

This is our second time as this beautiful home. We enjoyed it just as much as last summer. It is well taken care of and has everything you need. Nothing can beat relaxing on the porch and watching the river go by. It is my perfect place. Hopefully, we can return again next summer. Thanks again!!!
4.8
Very nice property with great porch and neat covered open area for entertainment. Host was great. Good beds. Only complaint is that the house is listed as "river front" but is actually up a hill across the road from the river. You have a view of the river, but I would not consider it river front. But nonetheless is a nice place to stay!

Stayed here with my dad, brother and son for trout fishing. The lodge's location is so peaceful...all you hear is the South Holston River flowing below the property. The lodge is clean, updated, cozy and the property manager is so very nice and helpful. BTW, the fishing is fantastic...I caught 11 Rainbow and 8 Brown Trout, some just a short walk away from the property. I highly recommend this property! You won't regret staying here.

The Serenity Cabin was a great place for our father-son fishing trip. Plenty of space and good layout for the four of us (all adults). Kitchen was well stocked, back porch and firepit area were very nice and thoroughly enjoyable, both overlooking the South Holston (100 yards). Angie was very quick at responding to questions-concerns.

2nd time I’ve stayed at this cool property and it’s got everything you need. I’d stay here again in the future.

I really liked this property. The location was great. I wish I would have had more time to spend at the property relaxing on the front porch. The property was clean and cozy. The only draw back of the property were the stairs up to the master bedroom and the shower in the master. The stairs were very steep. Gave my legs a good workout. The shower and toilet were raised on a platform, which was a little awkward. We had an issue with getting the TV's to work, but I texted the owner, and they got right back to me. Great communication. Overall, this property is a great place to stay in the Bristol area.

Serenity Lodge is our "go to" property when vacationing in the Tri-Cities area. Although we spent most time our time either hiking ( so many options in the area ), hanging out with family who live locally, or grabbing great food at one of the numerous restaurants in Johnson City and Bristol. At the end of the day, Serenity Lodge is super comfortable, peaceful and relaxing. We love the expansive front porch with a great view of the South Holston River.
4.8
The cabin is located just enough outside of Bristol to enjoy a quiet country setting and being able to get to town quickly.
4.8
Spent a few days away from the grind and what a perfect place to relax. The lodge was clean and had everything we needed. The outside space and atmosphere is something special with hearing the creek flowing nearby. We plan to return next time we visit Tennessee!

Great location for couples getaway. The barn hangout area was PERFECT!

We stayed at this home so we could go fishing for the weekend. The house was beautiful, location was great and the property was peaceful. We really enjoyed it and would love to stay again.
4.8
Everything was perfect! There is absolutely nothing I would change. The front porch with the view of the river was our favorite place to hang out. The "barn" was a fun place to eat BBQ hamburgers and hot dogs. We loved the green everywhere. We had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable with plenty of hot water, towels, etc. We hope to stay there again when we go back to visit family in the future. Thanks for sharing your lodge with us!!

Cozy retreat
Beautiful home situated in the woods, comfy beds, nice front porch where you can listen to the river across the street and watch the deer in the front yard. Property manager was quick with communication and replays and quick to help when needed.

Wow
Met a bunch of old friends for a week of fishing and reminiscing. This place is PERFECT. Big area outside in covered space made the nightly thunderstorms no problem. Super comfortable room upstairs must be well insulated because I slept in for the first time in 20 years!!! Overall a 15/10!! Thanks Angie!

Beautiful property
We came up for Father's Day weekend so the guys could enjoy the races in Bristol while my mom and I enjoyed the historic district. The cabin is conveniently located and is on beautiful property with a view of the river. We enjoyed our stay and I gave it 5 stars. However, I would not recommend for anyone with mobility issues due to the steps, the high tub wall downstairs and the shower and toilet raised on a platform upstairs.

Terrific property and location
My wife and I stayed here for two nights as part of a quick fishing trip we put together. Not a single complaint - great layout of a beautiful piece of property, very clean, and we were able to enjoy the deck in the evenings without being bothered by mosquitos. Close to boat launches and takeouts on the river. We'll almost certainly be return guests.

Great Property
Beautiful view of the river, especially when we could see the Bald Eagles fly by. Host was very accommodating. Circumstances didn't allow us to spend a lot of time on the property, but it was a nice refuge when we did.

Wow!!! Great place in a beautiful setting. 4 men from mid 40's to early 60's from Texas and Mississippi met up for a long weekend to attend the NASCAR race. From the moment we arrived, we enjoyed our stay. Not too far from anything including groceries, restaurants, and the track. Beautiful setting on the side of a hill overlooking the river. We spent most of our time on the porch relaxing and enjoying the view. Small things that made it better than I have experienced at other places include a grill that worked and pots and pans that were in good shape. From beginning to end, communication was timely. If I was coming back to this area I would stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!!!!

My family absolutely loved everything about this home. Beautiful location overlooking the river. Home was perfect and well equipped. The outside covered area with the lights was amazing. We want to come back again when the weather is warmer so we can enjoy that area even more. Perfect spot for lunch or playing family games at night! Highly recommend staying here.

Nice place to stay. House was older but spacious, and pretty well furnished. The info book on the counter was helpful. We loved the suggested Appalachian Caverns tour for when our original plans changed. The outdoor areas of this place are what makes this property shine with views and access to the creek, porch, fire pit, and covered areas to eat and relax. Very nice!
Also convenient having 2 full bathrooms and plenty of beds. This is not a deterrent for all but just be aware the stairs to the master bedroom are a little bit narrow & steep and the master bath toilet & shower are up on a step (see master bath pic in listing) which is a bit awkward & could pose a challenge for some, so just be aware. Also the driveway is a little difficult to see & maneuver at night. Overall it was a fine place to stay with beautiful views & outdoor spaces.

We had an awesome stay at the lodge. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas and had just enough space for our family. The upstairs master suite was a great retreat and the kitchen was stocked with all the things we needed. The view from the front porch was outstanding and we can’t wait to return in warmer weather! Angie was incredibly responsive and helpful to every concern we had. We will be back!
