Bristol trip
Can't say enough about the wonderful experience we had here at Don's Den during our trip to Bristol. Honestly I would give it 10 stars if I could. The cabin was immaculate, the property was well cared for, communication with owners excellent and the views were absolutely breathtaking. Such a peaceful spot! You are away from everything yet close enough to everywhere you want to go. We have already told a few friends to check this place out when they travel down south and we would love to return in the future. Thank you so much for a fantastic visit!!

Wonderful cabin
We arrived at night and were amazed at the views when the sun came up. The pictures on the website don’t do the property justice. My husband enjoyed fishing on the river while I relaxed and read a book on the deck. The cabin was very clean and comfortable with lots of extra touches such as big fluffy towels. We can’t wait to return. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

Don's Den
We had stay in the main house a few years back and really enjoyed the property. The cabins were just being started then and this is the 1st time to stay in one. Just a great layout and is a real nice stay. Well insulated as we were just there early Feb. and the temps were down to 19 one night. Cozy! Will definitely return when in the area again.

Staying at Don’s Den was absolutely wonderful! Mornings out on the deck enjoying the river was a wonderful way to start the day. The cabin had everything we needed. The check out process with Betty could not have been easier. When I come back to the area, I will check availability here first.

It has everything you need and the decorations were so fitting and the furniture was so comfortable! We stayed on the porch most of the time! The views are great and so peaceful!! Mountains and the River! So relaxing plus you can fish. We grilled out on the porch for suppers with the kids. Thanks Betty for the wonderful stay!!!

South Holston Retreat
We stayed 3 nights at Dons cabin. The property is along the South Holston River and all the cabins overlook the river which is 100 yards or so down the bluff. A path leads you down. The site is quiet and the views are beautiful. Very peaceful and an idyllic retreat. All services are in Bristol about 20 minutes away over country roads. Dons cabin is a very nicely decorated one room cabin. It has a very nice bath and a beautiful covered porch to view the river, the evening and watch the fire flies and smokey mountain mist. This is quite simply a 5+ location and cabin.

Beautiful place!
Just overall amazing view and stay. It was nice to have access to the river right out the back (just be ready for a climb back :-) ) Really close to the lodge for fishing trips too. It was also really nice to have a group of people that rented all the properties so we could all hang out at the big house. All-in-all couldn't recommend this place more.

Great property with river access.
From beginning to end our stay was excellent. Just secluded enough. The property sits on a wonderful trout stream. With great wading access. The cabin was very clean and perfect size. The kitchen area is functional and tidy. The covered porch area perfect size with a great view. You have the option of a gas grill or smoker. Lots of thought has gone into these cabins that appear simple from the exterior. Looking for great get away don’t hesitate. Being pet friendly is a bonus. Just be respectful.
