Beautiful Cabin

Very nice cabin for a fishing trip to Eastern Tennessee! The place is well stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The gas log fireplace is a nice feature. The secluded location at the top of a hill is awesome!

Relax, hike and fish

All we wanted was to relax, to hike and fly fish. We accomplished all three and loved staying at the Whistling Timbers Cabin. A perfect getaway place to stay that offered all we could have asked for and more!

The cabin is tucked way back in the woods far from other homes and has all of the amenities to accommodate a large family or some friends. We were unable to enjoy the area much because we attended the races, but would like to visit again to enjoy the nature and trails surrounding the cabin.

The perfect cabin in the woods!

We utilized this cabin to stay with our pups during a festival in Bristol. We found ourselves missing the cabin every time we left it. The location to the river and lake are spectacular, but the property and cabin is a destination in itself. Communication is clear and we loved every bit of our time here! Would stay here again even if we didnt have a reason to viait the area!

Our Stay

We loved the cabin. It was clean, comfortable, and very well furnished, including kitchen items. It was also wonderful to have the linens and towels included as well as access to a washer and dryer. We loved the isolated setting. It was just a little bit further of a walk to the water than we thought, but still, a wonderful place to stay. Thank you.

This property is secluded and beautiful! Perfect for family vacations or a simple getaway. The driveway is steep so 4 wheel drive is recommended but the cabin is absolutely gorgeous and the property manager was easily accessible! We will be back!!

Unbelievable Escape!

The perfect hideaway for peace and quiet - but only a short drive off the property to anything. The house was so accommodating and we enjoyed listening to rain on the metal roof after 2.5 days by the firepit in the heart of the forest. So much fun!!

Just what we needed

Loved the private drive to the house and the privacy of the location. We never heard any traffic noise or noise from others that live in the surrounding area. Enjoyed watching the rabbits and deer graze, along with listening to the songs of the many different birds. The house itself was terrific; clean and well stocked, even the furniture was comfortable. Planning on staying again as it was a terrific value.

Great Property

Overall great stay. Cabin was nice, clean, and close enough to Bristol. Cabin on 30 + acres. All kinds of wild life. Right down the street from Holston Dam. Great for hiking and fishing. If you want peace and quiet without being in the middle of nowhere this is the place. Owners have thought of everything.

Natures beauty

My husband and I stayed at this cabin to celebrate our 35th anniversary. It was a perfect spot nestled in the woods, but yet, it was so open. The cabin itself had a wonderful porch deck, comfortable bedding the owner’s really thought about how too accommodate the individuals who will stay there, bathrooms are fully stocked, full body wash full shampoo. Kitchen is very well stocked had brand new ketchup, mustard mayonnaise waiting on us and they were the big ones not those cheap little ones. We did the fire pit and they have all the wood and kindling and newspaper everything that you can think to get it going!! You truly just need to go unpack and relax. We will be coming back.

The CABIN for fly fishing !!!!

The cabin was perfect for our trip. Nestled in 35 acre property. This was perfectly located near the South Holston river. Paula was perfect. She was always there by phone or email to answer a question. We hooked up with Soulth Holston River Company for a guided fly fishing day and used Tailwaters Lodge. Wish we would have stayed longer. Great trip. Great cabin. And YES, we caught a ton of fish.

Relaxing week

A friend of ours needed a getaway. So we booked with Paula. We’ve stayed at Tailwater twice before. Needless to say, our friend was totally impressed with the cabin. Bristol is a short drive, fly fishing in the best river in Tn. South Holston river is full of brown and rainbow trout. Gatlinburg is a couple hour drive. The cabin is a half mile back into the woods. Beautiful yard for the kiddos and fur babies. Beautiful deck for enjoying the weather. This may not be a big thing. But you don’t have to stream tv. You can watch “normal” tv with local stations along with news, sports, movie channels. Gas fireplace inside and a fire pit outside. We will definitely be booking with Tailwaters again.
