Riverview Retreat - A Fisherman's Paradise on the South Holston River

Riverview Retreat Pad #5 is nestled right on the banks of the legendary South Holston River in Bristol Tennessee-one of the top-rated fly fishing destinations in the United States, this charming fishing cabin offers world-class fly fishing year round as well as a peaceful family retreat.

Step inside this warm and inviting retreat featuring 2 charming bedrooms with 3 comfortable beds—perfect for up to 4 guests. Designed with rustic warmth and cozy touches throughout, this space offers a relaxing atmosphere that feels just like home.

The shared bathroom is thoughtfully stocked with fresh towels, soap, and shampoo for your convenience. You’ll also find a full-size washer and dryer, making it easy to settle in and feel right at home during your stay.

The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare your favorite meals, with full-size appliances and all the essentials for cooking. You’ll also love the welcoming Coffee Bar, complete with Ground Coffee, K-cups, Sweeteners, Creamers, Syrups, and To-Go Cups—perfect for starting your morning or taking a warm drink with you to the River.

Whether you’re here to fly fish, unwind, or simply enjoy a peaceful getaway, this cozy retreat offers the perfect setting to relax and recharge. You’ll love spending time on the back porch, where stunning river views create a sense of calm and connection to nature with natural beauty just beyond your doorstep.

Note: There is two steps into Riverview Retreat and once inside there are two steps between Living Room and Kitchen. A ramp from deck leads into the grassy area of the yard. Also, we are in a rural area with spotty cell reception inside house so WiFi calling is recommended when inside home. 

Fishing along South Holston River in front of Pad 1 and Pad 2 is restricted with no fishing allowed per TVA due to the spawning season between November 1 - February 1. Fishing on other parts of the South Holson River including Pad 4 and Pad 5 is allowed year round.

Amazing Water

Love our trip here. The house is nice and the back deck with the water is amazing. We really enjoyed our stay. If you have a chance, this is a great place. It’s been a long time since I’ve been this relaxed and my husband enjoyed being able to fly fish right outside the house.

Peachful, Restful

If you're looking for a peaceful, restful and relaxing place, this is it! You can sit on the covered porch and listen to the river and watch the guide boats go by. Most definitely a fly fisher persons dream! Also, let me mention the kitchen...fabulous! Go and stay there and enjoy!

Wonderful Trip

We certainly enjoyed our stay! It was clean, cozy, and a central location to all the things we wanted to do while there. The cabin was well stocked with basic necessities, which was really nice. The deck on the water was of course our favorite spot as it was beautiful, relaxing, and perfect to sit out and enjoy meals together. We saw wildlife on the riverbank and enjoyed late evening strolls while soaking up the beautiful view and sounds of the river! We definitely hope to be back soon!!

Amazing River Retreat

This was our first time in this home and WOW. Very spacious and comfortable. The back porch was amazing and we spent several evening out there as a family. The boat ramp was nearby so we had some lake days and with the river literally in the back yard we also had access to blue ribbon trout fishing water. Communication with the owner was easy and they were so accommodating. Wish I could give this place 10 stars. We will be back!
