Slap af på North Fork River

Very cozy, right on the river - prime spot for the activities of the weekend! Beds were comfortable, house was clean, giant porch made for a lovely dinner looking out at the water

Nice location near the river and close drive to Abingdon. Outside deck was great for games and gathering. Luckily we had nice weather! Enough bedrooms to fit our family, but note that not all are private due to the layout. Kitchen utensils and cooking supplies are limited and it has a small living area. Some basic cleaning supplies, like a broom, would be helpful. Only one trash bag and no extra toilet paper so be prepared! The house sits on a sloped hill with a tricky driveway, but stargazing was nice. Kayaks and canoe were fun, but there’s no real entry into the river right across the road so it was a challenge getting in and out. Bought firewood through host in advance, but did not use it because the ring is right next to the road and the “firewood” looked like old planks from a house. A few items left under the beds and on the porch also made me question how clean it was. The Host definitely communicated, with multiple texts during our weekend stay. Overall, it served its purpose and my mom loved the porch overlooking the river. However, it is an old house in the country with well water so it’s hard to give it a 5-star rating compared to some other more updated places we’ve stayed.

Loved our stay. Having the kayaks were a blessing. Fishing was fun and activities we done around the area. A few things we could suggest would be a broom and couple of trash bags would have nice. The trash was left in the garage so it stuck to high heaven. We couldn’t enjoy the ping pong table because of it. Otherwise we had a wonderful, relaxing stay . Thank you

This cabin was perfect for our family fishing trip. Even fished out of the stream across from the house.

We needed a place for Easter weekend so that we could visit my brother, who lives in Abingdon. We chose this property for the proximity to the river (North Fork of Holston river) and still close to town for the great restaurants/ attractions Abingdon has to offer as well as only about a 12-15 minute drive to my brother’s house. Getting into the house was a breeze with the code provided. The house is directly across a very lightly travelled road from the river and has great views from the very large deck that encompasses the entire front of the house and expands along the driveway. We saw eagles, hawks, Kingfishers, Turkeys, etc and had a good chance to stargaze once the sun went down. There is also a small rock-rimmed firepit next to the river that was enjoyable. The bedroom setup was a little different, as a few of the beds are only accessible by passing thru another bedroom. We were all family so it wasn’t really an issue. Beds were comfortable with the exception of middle, upstairs mattress. There are canoes and kayaks in the garage for river excursion. My son in law and grandkids had a blast fishing and its such easy access to the river from the house…no packing lunch, snacks, drinks…just watching them from the deck! Phlox and daffodils blooming just outside the kitchen/dining room windows were beautiful. Only one full bath /a shower stall so had to schedule out shower times but again, w/ close family it all went smoothly. Overall pleasant stay w/ lots of fish
