Group Retreats (Minimum 10 Lodgers)

Tailwaters Lodge is located in Northeast Tennessee which borders, North Carolina, Virginia, and Kentucky in the Appalachian Mountains. With 230 miles of internationally known rivers and 288 miles of the Appalachian Trail, it’s the true outdoors with endless opportunities to explore.

The cabins are nestled in the woods at the end of a dead-end road with no other buildings, and abuts the TVA public lands on three sides so you’ll have plenty of privacy, yet it is only 8-miles from the heart of Bristol TN/VA, the birthplace of country music, and only 20 minutes from the Tri-Cities Airport (Johnson City, Bristol, Kinsport). You’ll experience terrific trout fishing, both wade fishing and guided river floats, and there are over 1.5 miles of accessible, wade-able fishing including 540’ of private river frontage.

If you’d like to stretch your legs, there are over five miles of well-maintained, gravel, scenic river trails right out your door, and the Appalachian Trail is only ten miles away. For bikers, not only can you bike right from your cabin, but there is a fun 4.5 mile TVA bike trail across the river from us, and the esteemed Virginia Creeper Trail is a short 30 minute drive. Pontoon boats can also be rented on the expansive, scenic South Holston Lake only seven miles away. Come, relax and enjoy!
