Vacation Cottage Perfect Retreat for Family and Friends

Jack & Mary's Place is a 5 bedroom, 3 bath totally remodeled 1950's style cottage located on 4 acres of land on the middle fork of the Holston River. Plenty of room on the 4 acreas of land for group volleyball, baseball, or soccer games. Hikers can be on the Appalachian or Virginia Creeper Trail and NASCAR fans can be at the raceway in less than an hour. The newly remodeled Lincoln Theater, famous Barter Theater, Hungry Mother State Park, Emory & Henry College, and local wineries are minutes away.

Most folks enjoy sitting on the spacious patio overlooking the river, reading a good book, fishing, or just relaxing with family and friends. Jack and Mary's Place is the perfect spot for a family reunion or 'get-away' with old classmates.

Thanksgiving stay
We had a wonderful stay with our extended family at Jack and Mary’s Place. The house is one of the best VRBOs we’ve ever stayed in. It’s very well stocked and perfect for large groups. We loved looking at the river and being close to local attractions. Thanks for helping make our Thanksgiving so special.

Love Jack & Mary's Place
Our family has stayed at Jack & Mary's Place several times and each time is as good as the last. The house is gorgeous and set up perfectly for larger groups. The property is beautiful with the country feel but just outside of town if you need anything. It's always clean and communication is good if you have any questions. Always looking forward to another trip here!

Beautiful setting to gather with dear friends.
We really enjoyed the comfort and spaciousness of our home for 4 days, the surroundings of a stream running by the house, great place to sit outside and visit and the proximity to local sites.

Great getaway
This was a great getaway for my family. The home sleeps a lot of people (we had 10 adults) and there are multiple spaces to gather. The kitchen was well stocked with prep and cooking implements and the house was spotlessly clean when we arrived. There were plenty of extra towels, pillows and blankets as well. The yard was great, and there were a couple of gathering spaces outside as well. We enjoyed having the windows open so we could hear the river in the house. We only had two complaints - one is that there was only one house key, which meant our whole group had to stay together all the time. The other complaint was more situational for us. We had a severely autistic person in our party and we had to spend a good deal of time hiding the hosts family photos, mementos and books so he wouldn't get into those items, since he has a tendency to rip up books and photos. Otherwise we had a great time and would definitely return to this property in the future.

River life!
This was such a fun property! Our family loves hanging outside and this was just the place to do it. The river provided such great entertainment with many of us fishing and actually catching trout! The ladies laid in tubes suspended in the river tied down with rope. Others played lots of cornhole and some enjoyed a good book on the back porch. There were also many birds to watch and even saw a mama duck with 8 baby ducklings swimming upstream. The house was comfortable, with lots of rooms and a great living area to hang out in with a gorgeous view of the river. The kitchen was large and well equipped(lots of wine glasses😊). If your a bike enthusiast, the creeper trail is just a 1/2 hour away and it was probably the prettiest rails to trails path I’ve done. We took a day trip to Hungry Mother State Park and went on the water with kayaks and paddle boats. Also road some trails there on my mountain bike. I highly recommend this awesome spot and I know I’ll be returning there next year.

This house is very clean and roomy. The five beds rooms and three baths makes it a great set up for a large group. The host was very easy to communicate with as well. We loved to watch the trains pass by and listen to the brook and birds in back yard.

Great gathering spot
This was our 2nd visit to this home and we loved it. The house is right on a river and you have a great view of it from the large sitting area. The kitchen is big enough to cook meals for large groups. There were 9 of us in the house and there was plenty of room. We’ll be back!

Vacation Cottage was perfect for our large group
The vacation cottage was perfect for our large group- we enjoyed the view of the river, and watching the trains roll by end of the yard; many birds including Blue Heron that visited. The house is very clean and had all we needed for a weekend stay. The five bedrooms and 3 bathrooms accommodated us all.

Perfect House
We loved our stay here. We had three generations staying and it was the perfect place to relax, visit with each other, and celebrate a graduation. The house is truly a home with all of the family pictures. We loved the sunroom and back porch. The creek and the big yard were a wonderful bonus! Highly recommend this house for a family gathering. Hungry Mother State Park is just down the road, not too far. And some other hiking trails like Greyson Highlands State Park are a little further out.

Motorcycle getaway
This was our 2nd time staying here. The location is fantastic for motorcycling. Great roads for 100 mile radius. House is super clean, comfortable, neat and well maintained. Looks brand new, like it did as well 3 years ago. When we weren't riding, we were either fly fishing in the stream right next to the house or sitting on the back porch. Well definitely be back again.

We had a great stay at Jack & Mary's place. There was plenty of room for 3 kids and extended family. We thoroughly enjoyed the river, space, and local area despite lots of rain during our stay. The dishwasher was broken upon arrival, but Ann was very communicative and apologetic ahead of time and throughout, and she had it fully fixed in less than 2 days. Thanks for the the great stay!
