If you’re traveling to Bristol this is the place to stay. Close to everything with a private backyard oasis that makes you feel like you’re far away from the crowds. The communication with owners is the best I’ve experienced by far. We always stay at private owned homes when traveling, this place and owners exceeded our expectations. The snacks, coffee, and all the little extras was icing on the cake. We will be back!

We really enjoyed our stay in this attractive, well-kept, and very comfortable property. The kitchen was spotless and reasonably well-equipped. All of the appliances and mechanical systems worked exactly as expected. The outdoor spaces were a wonderful bonus — we loved the covered deck, the inviting firepit area, the hot tub, and the convenient outdoor dining setup. The host was exceptionally responsive and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. When we return to Bristol, this will be our first choice for a place to stay.

Rachel was an amazing host. Provided clear communication and thoughtful touches like a welcome basket with some snacks. The little house was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. It felt like a true home away from home. The location was perfect, just a short walk to State Street. The hot tub & fire pit provided us with quiet relaxing evenings after a busy day out. We would book this place again! Highly recommend.

We liked the location and the size was perfect for the two of us. The beds were too soft IMO and sloped toward the center so we ended up each sleeping in one bed.

House was clean and located close to downtown. We enjoyed bringing our dog and staying together as a family. Kitchen was stocked with everything you would need to cook. AC worked well and we used the washer and dryer to clean our clothes. Our favorite was the hot tub and ring toss game out back. We enjoyed playing the game as a family and spending time together. The carport was a plus too. It kept our truck cooler on hot summer days.

Bristol Music Trip

Excellent location near Bristol downtown area. We had easy access to Paramount Theatre and the Country Music Museum. The house was perfect (2 older couples), 2 bedrooms and 2 baths all on a single level. We didn’t do any cooking, but all amenities were there. The weather was perfect and we spent much of our down time on the back porch. We would heartily recommend this house for anyone visiting the Bristol area!
