Holston River Lodge, Paradise on the River - Fishing, Kayaking, Hot Tub,Wineries

The Holston River Lodge is a magical mountain riverfront retreat. Nestled on a beautiful stretch of the South Holston River with over 2 acres of land and yards of riverfrontage. This is the ultimate outdoor playground, seamlessly blending relaxation and adventure. The fishing is world-class and the swimming, tubing, and kayaking are loads of fun too. After a day full of adventure unwind in our hot tub overlooking the river or get cozy in front of one of our two beautiful stone fireplaces, one on the main level living room with a 75-inch TV and another in the basement den with a 70-inch TV.
With beautiful architecture and details designed to create the perfect retreat for you and your guests. This property was constructed in 2016 by a Virginia builder that is known for quality and detail using local logs and stone. You will enjoy every square inch of the craftsmanship throughout this house.
Discover surrounding experiences such as the Virginia Creeper Trail, Zip Lining, Back Of The Dragon, and Hungry Mother State Park, or enjoy quaint shops, The Bristol Motor Speedway, The Hard Rock Casino in Bristol, and a selection of restaurants wineries, breweries, and distilleries.
River Access is available to all guests. The depth ranges from inches to 10 feet along the length of the river. A dip in the cool, clean water is highly encouraged and a great source of recreation. Enjoy great fishing in the South Holston for trout, smallmouth bass, carp, and brim. Caution should always be paramount while swimming or wading in the Holston River at any time of year. Currents may be stronger and depths may change without warning due to rain or snow melt throughout all seasons.
Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family retreat, or a place for adventure, our riverside lodge promises an unforgettable experience. Relax, rejuvenate, and reconnect with nature, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

We look forward to hosting you!

Great long weekend!
We came to Virginia from Michigan for our friend to visit with family she hadn’t seen in 12 years they live on Vetrans hwy. this was about as close as we could get a rental. It was wonderful. Had every amenity. Very clean. Well decorated and not broken down like some rentals. Hot tub was lovely. We fished and cooked breakfast but didn’t have enough time to do everything the lodge had to offer. You could easily stay for one or two weeks and stay busy! Our only suggestion would be to provide oil for the cast iron pans and have less puffy pillow options. Other than that, beds were comfortable. Thank you!!

Relaxing home with everything you need
This house was a great find! Stayed here over Spring Break for a few days and they really did have everything you need to relax by the river. The house was clean, comfy and well stocked. The location is convenient to downtown Marion and Emory and easy to find off of 81. The highlight of the house though is the outdoor space. The yard is large with plenty of space to run and toss a football. We easily took the family out in the canoe/kayaks, loved the hammock, fire pit, hot tub frisbee and more! Great getaway to unplug and visit nearby hiking trails or just to stay by the river and enjoy all the house has to offer!

Wonderful home and setting!
This super well equipped river front home with a cool log framed design was a perfect setting for my husband and I to host our far flung family of 3 adult kids and their SO's. We appreciated the overall cleanliness of the cabin, the new king size mattress in the master and the up to date kitchen with plentiful new kitchenware and service for a large number of guests. We came together to celebrate the holidays for a few precious days and were so delighted to find a decorated home complete with Christmas tree and welcome gift for toasting the new year. We are an outdoorsy family and really enjoyed all the nearby parks and hiking trails. In addition, a show at the Lincoln Theater a few minutes away and a tour at the Buller Fish Hatchery to learn about endangered species were highlights! All in all we had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves while making use of the yard toys, kayaks, fishing, games and puzzles thoughtfully included. We highly recommend!

Best Christmas EVER!! My family and I have a tradition of staying at a cabin for Christmas and choosing to stay at Matt’s and Jess property was the best decision we made when choosing our stay. The hosts truly went above and beyond, from providing a property where memories can be made such as being able to kayak and enjoy the jacuzzi with a beautiful view to adding christmas decor as we requested, I have nothing but great things to say. Check in was easy, hosts were responsive, hygiene was 10’s across the board and the fun was endless - definitely a stay to remember :)
