Relaxing Getaway

My wife and I stayed here for two nights to decompress after all of our wedding madness. It was exactly what we needed! Tena and JD had left us a few bottles of champagne and orange juice in the refrigerator and the rest of the house was stocked extremely well. They had thought about EVERYTHING: cooler, cooking utensils, river towels, bath towels, fire cushions, etc. So much attention to detail. They were even kind enough to let us stay a little longer as they did not have anyone coming in directly behind us. They have a well-run operation that is extremely inviting. Thank you for a great stay!

Perfect

We chose this place because it was an equal distance for my brother in Alabama and us in North Carolina! we are all in our 70s and we just wanted to visit. The house layout was perfect. Both bedrooms felt private and the common areas were well-decorated, comfortable. The surprising and welcoming part was how spotless the OUTSIDE areas were. Tena and JD were perfect hosts who connected well and were informative and helpful while not infringing on privacy. The wildlife was stunning to watch, birds, squirrels and deer abound and are not shy. Be sure to enjoy the firepit. JD really knows how to make it perfect. What happy, fond memories were made. Thank you for being great host with a "homey" yet beautiful offering.

Unique property

This is the hardest property I've ever rated in over 10 years of rentals. First the good. It is very clean and the hosts work hard to keep it in great shape. It is in a quiet neighborhood, not far from the Chattanooga attractions. It is the best stocked of any property we've stayed. But there are some drawbacks. The drive...3 miles of the most treacherous, narrow road that takes 15 minutes to drive. The hosts are very protective of the property and you have to text your acceptance and meet the hosts to assure you are in compliance. They are very polite, but in our 10+ years of VRBO rentals, we've never had to do this. The one night we had a fire, the neighbor's dog barked loudly and incessantly for hours. $25 for each additional fire. The house is a river cabin. A nice, super well maintained cabin, but it's not quite a full house. Low ceilings and small rooms should be expected. I'm sure the hosts aren't going to be happy with this review, but if you set your expectations to these things, you'll have a much more pleasant stay.

A Slice of Heaven on the Tennessee River

My husband and I spent a week in this wonderful little house, and I am happy to verify that all the previous glowing reviews are accurate in their praise! While the drive to the house might be a little adventurous for some, just slow down, take your time and enjoy the journey - it is so well worth the effort. A comfortable private home, lovingly renovated and furnished with more amenities than you would expect. The deck offers a front row seat to the river and we spent most of our time there, watching the wildlife and river traffic. The hosts could not be more gracious and charming. In the many years I have booked through VRBO, this rental is one of the Top Best EVER. Looking for excuses now to return to Tennessee and this jewel ❤️ Thanks, Tena and JD!

Perfect getaway

We could not have asked for better hosts or a more perfect house. All details were taken care of, down to flowers and champagne for our anniversary. The house was spotless and well stocked. We loved sitting on the porch and enjoying the river and wildlife. Tena and JD are so attentive and available. We hope to visit you again this summer.

About the host

Hosted by Tena Kellis

JD and I are from Chattanooga and have lived on the river for 25 years and every day feels like we are coming home from work to vacation. We enjoy boating, fishing and just hanging out on the banks of the Tennessee river. So, we thought what a wonderful experience to share with our GUEST! We hope we leave every guest with the feeling they can't wait to come back and refer their friends to enjoy the experience.
