What a relaxing home to spend a week. Super clean and check in was easy as the owner made sure we were all set and didn't need anything. The river was beautiful. Water temps were a little warm so I found rapids up the road and caught lots of trout three days in a row. Watched elk at the smokey mountain welcome center in the evenings. Tubing is fun down the river as well. This house is close to absolutely everything. Jenkins store is a half mile away and offers some quick fried chicken and other take out food. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a quiet escape to the mountains.
