Great getaway cabin in the woods nestled on 38 acres, bordering 34,000 acres of Cherokee National Forest, the property offers privacy and seclusion. This beautiful cabin in the woods is located just below the South Holston Dam and across the street from the South Holston River, one of the finest trout streams in the East, and just around the corner from Tailwaters Lodge who manages this property. Check out the breath-taking view of the South Holston Lake at the top of the dam, hike or bike the many surrounding trails, spend time fishing the lake or the river, and take a drive into downtown Bristol TN/VA; the home of Country Music; this cabin offers all types of outdoor fun and activities. 

The cabin in the woods has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, family room, and a well appointed kitchen. Relax on the fantastic deck outside looking at the stars at night or sit around the outdoor fire pit. If it should rain, enjoy the propane gas fire log set inside and play games around the kitchen table. Pets are welcome; additional pet fee applies. 

Outdoor security system is operational on premises and captures video from the driveway and turn around.

Under new ownership since June 2022. This property is managed by Tailwaters Lodge, 371 TVA Rd. S., Bristol, TN 423-573-3999 and located 1/4 mile from Tailwaters Lodge.

Whisteling Timbers

We absolutely LOVED this cabin and the great location. The cabin was well-stocked and extremely clean. We enjoyed the trails right outside the door, the smoke pit, and the fun downtown area. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this location!!

Family Summer Vacation

My family of four stayed here for the first part of our summer mountain vacation. Everything was fantastic from beginning to end. Very clean, modern appliances, gorgeous views and comfy beds. Fishing is literally at the end of the driveway. We spent our days catching rainbow trout and hiking the area trails. Enjoyed the solitude and relaxing on the huge deck at the end of the day. Highly recommended by the whole family. Thank you for making our vacation remarkable!

Lovely Quiet Cabin

My wife and I stayed here over the 4th of July holiday. The cabin is located in a very quiet wooded location near the South Holston lake dam. There were deer and wild turkeys on the property. The 0.8 mile entrance drive is gravel, we had no issues coming and going with our AWD Toyota. The property manager kept in very close communication with us prior to our arrival. The cabin was immaculately clean and was nicely equipped in the kitchen and included all linens. Do NOT try to use Google maps to locate the house as it will take you to an incorrect location on a nearby road, simply follow the written instructions from the property manager. Our only minor negative item was that there was trash left from a prior occupant in one of the garage barrels.

Thank you for staying with us. We're pleased you enjoyed your stay. It is a a peaceful property - looks like the deer and wild turkeys enjoy it as well.

Vacation

Bruce and Paula have a beautiful cabin and we had a wonderful stay. Paula bent over backwards to help us out. Just a heads up the driveway is about a mile long and is winding and uphill. One thing to fix would be the upstairs shower head. Other than that this is a beautiful place,very secluded and quiet!!

Hi Amy, We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us at Whistling Timbers, you were our first guest under new management - it is a beautiful property set back in the woods. Very Peaceful :) Thanks for letting us know about the shower head in the bathroom - we'll change it out.
