I've been staying at Pappaws for over a decade, both Pad1 and 2. I always found them very clean and very comfortable. They are well supplied with utensils so you may cook or barbeque.
Papaws is the perfect spot for a trip on the South Holston River. Clean and comfortable, it is a great place to unwind after a long day of fishing. Beautiful spot right on the river.
Pawpaws Fishing Pad 2 is great place to unwind after spending the day on the water. Can’t beat sitting along the river reliving the day. Definitely will return.
Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you enjoyed yourself and look forward to you staying with us again!
My family has been going to Papaw's fishing pad every year since 2020. We Love it at Papaw's!! Very relaxing and peaceful to spend a weekend or a week. Great fishing also. Visited this year September 5th through the 8th. Had a wonderful time !
Great place along a beautiful river.
Thank you Ron! Hope you visit again soon!
Dear Bob! Thank you so much for the hospitality, the wonderful delicious cookies, the prompt help with the sink. We love the house, the river and will definitely come back. Wish you all the best, Mikhael & friends
I am so glad you enjoyed yourself at Pappaws Fishing Pad! Thank you so much for the 5 star review! I look forward to you coming for a return visit soon!
Thank you, Pappaw for your wonderful Fishing Pads!!! We have enjoyed our stays here for many years. So many great memories with old fishing buddies who have passed away & now new great memories with Grandsons. Love the location, amenities & your wonderful hospitality. We always catch dozens of trout with our local fishing guide, Jimmy Cheers. We will be back with more Grandkids to make more great memories. We love you, Pappaw!!
I am so glad you are building memories with your family and so pleased the my Fishing Pads are part of those memories. You are welcomed back anytime and I look forward to all the future visits! Thank you for being awesome guests!
We love coming to Pappaw’s! The house is always clean and well stocked, along with the grills and patio tables to use while you’re there! He had corn hole and horse shoes to play, with fire pits as well! He has a wood pile to burn from and plenty of river bank to fish from! Access in and out of the river for Kayaks and for the kids getting in and out! You really can’t beat the location and amazing cookies when you stay! We will be back for sure!!
Perfect place for a fishing trip. We brought our drift boat and floated and fished the river. The waterfront seating area was a perfect place to relax after the day. There is a nice firepit next to the water. Inside the house was clean and well furnished. Can't wait to come back.
Thank you for the 5 Stars Jess! I am so glad you enjoyed your stay! We are looking forward to your return!
This place is truly amazing. It is such a beautiful, peaceful property. It was beyond our expectations Bob better known as Papow is the most warm hearted, kind, caring and genuine man you will ever have the pleasure to meet. The day before Thanksgiving our stove went out (we are a big family my husband and I have 8 kids and holidays are very important to us and one of our main things is all of us together cooking a big feast) With food already prepped no working stove and it being after 4 we went searching for any airbnb that we could find and because it was after 3 none of the places would allow us to check in that day. Thankfully we found this place Papow contacted us within 15 minutes and let us check in that day. When we arrived we was taken away by the view and how beautiful this place was. Inside was a plate of delicious variety of homemade cookies. All the amenities you could possibly need and every part of this home told a story. This is not a place where you will feel like a guest Ive never been on a vacation where I felt like I did here. My grandparents passed years ago but something about this place filled my heart in a way I cant explain. Bob (papow) always made sure that we had everything we needed and that we was satisfied. He also took the time out of his day on Thanksgiving to come by and bring my kids more homemade cookies. Not only did he save us when we thought our Thanksgiving was ruined he gave us a Thanksgiving we will always cherish and never forget. This is a place that my family will definitely come back to. Out of all the airbnbs ive stayed at Bob (Papow) yours has by far been the best.
