Tennessee River Gorge Island Cabin

This was by far one of the best vacations we’ve ever taken. I would recommend it to anyone looking to get away for a few days. First, the location was amazing. The Tennessee River Gorge is a beautiful stretch of nature. You just walk out your cabin door and the river and mountains are right there. We even had breakfast one morning on the river bank. It’s just a few feet from the cabin. We had a chance to go with Billy and his other guests for a pontoon ride too, and it was worth the trip as Billy is a great guide. But as others have said, make sure you remember to bring everything you need (ketchup for example). It’s a long way into town if you need to go to the store! Second, the cabin is a perfect fit for the location. While small, it has all the amenities and is so much better than a hotel room. It is clear that a lot of thought and care went into its construction and in choosing the decor. But most importantly, it is really your host that makes this such a special place. Billy will go out of his way to make sure you have a great trip. He certainly went above and beyond for us. We brought our own boat with us, but had some trouble with it at first. Billy helped us diagnose the problem, even jumping into the still chilly April waters to help out. That’s just one example of where he was more like a good neighbor than a host! His commitment to his guests was on constant display. Everything about this trip exceeded our expectations. If you’re reading this trying to decide if you should book one of the cabins, we’d suggest you do it in a heartbeat if you’re looking for a great laidback relaxing vacation. You won’t be disappointed.
