About this cabin rental

The Holston River Lodge is more than a mountain getaway — it's a place where the river sets the rhythm, and every detail invites you to slow down and breathe deep.

Perched on a stunning stretch of the Middle Fork Holston River, this thoughtfully crafted retreat sits on over two acres with generous river frontage. Whether you're after adventure or stillness, you'll find both here. Cast a line for trophy trout and smallmouth bass, drift the current on a tube, or paddle your way through some of the most scenic water in Southwest Virginia. When the day winds down, soak in the hot tub as the river rolls by, or settle in beside one of two handsome stone fireplaces — one anchoring the main-level living room with a 75" TV, another warming the basement den with a 70" TV.

Built in 2016 by a Virginia craftsman renowned for quality and attention to detail, the lodge was constructed using local logs and stone. Every corner reflects genuine care — the kind you notice and remember.

Step outside, and Southwest Virginia unfolds around you. Ride the famous Virginia Creeper Trail, explore Back of the Dragon, catch a show at The Lincoln Theater, or take in a race at Bristol Motor Speedway. Nearby, you'll also find horseback riding, zip lining, a classic drive-in theater, miniature golf, Hungry Mother State Park, and an inviting mix of wineries, breweries, distilleries, and local restaurants. The Hard Rock Casino in Bristol is just a short drive away.

A note on the river: The Holston offers everything from shallow wading spots to 10-foot swimming holes. The water is cool, and endlessly fun — just remember that currents and depths can change quickly with rain or snowmelt, so caution is always advised.

Whether you're celebrating, reconnecting, or simply escaping, Holston River Lodge is ready to exceed every expectation.

We look forward to hosting you!

***A Few Things to Know Before You Arrive***

- To keep our HVAC systems running smoothly, the fireplaces are turned off during the summer months — but the river more than makes up for it.

- If you're visiting in winter and snow is in the forecast, we recommend coming in a 4x4 or all-wheel drive vehicle. The lodge is not serviced for snow removal, so a little preparation goes a long way.

- The river is yours to enjoy — swimming, wading, tubing, and all. Just know that you do so at your own risk, as there is no lifeguard on duty. Please stay aware of changing currents and depths, especially after rain.

- During the winter months, some of the patio furniture is stored away for the season. Don't worry — the deck furniture stays out year-round for you to enjoy.

- Finally, all guests must be at least 30 years of age to book this property. A valid photo ID or driver's license may be requested at the time of reservation.

This is probably the best vacation rental experiences I’ve ever had. I was truly blown away by the beauty and uniqueness of this property. The pictures don’t do it justice. I can’t recommend it highly enough. As impressive as the property is I was even more impressed by the quality and level of care we received from Matt and Jess. They thought about everything down to the last detail. It’s clear that this isn’t just a vacation rental for them, it’s a passion project and it shows. They were incredibly attentive to our needs, going out of their way to offer helpful suggestions. We will be back 100% and I’ve already shared this listing with several friends.

We enjoyed our week in this house very much! It has a well-stocked kitchen for cooking in, ample outdoor seating options for cozy chatting, and absolutely beautiful river frontage with lots of wildlife to enjoy! The home is exceptionally well appointed for a vacation rental...the hosts really thought of everything from comfortable linens and mattresses to complimentary toiletries that you'd want/need and it really made our stay here a standout. We also highly recommend a day trip to hike The Channels - what an unexpected find!!
