Pheasant Tail | Cabin on the South Holston River

Awesome location on the South Holston river. Tailwaters lodge is excellent!

Great location, calm, quiet in the mornings for all the noise (races) that come at the end of the day. Neighbors nearby but you wouldn't know they exists if you couldn't see them. Looking forward to our next stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pheasant Tail. The river is close enough to enjoy throughout the day. The cabin was lovely, clean, comfy, and cozy. Also conveniently stocked with essentials. We did not want to leave and definitely hope to be back soon!! I highly recommend staying here.

NHRA fans and had a great time in Thunder Valley! We also all really enjoyed staying in a log cabin for the first time and it couldn't have been cleaner or more inviting. The surroundings and the peacefulness were outstanding! It felt like home and was very comfortable! Really appreciate Bruce and Paula for allowing us to stay in this historic home. We are looking forward for a return visit! Thanks again for the hospitality!

Had some fly fishing buddies and the Pheasant Tail cabin was perfect for us at Tailwaters Lodge. Paula & Bruce were so helpful in fishing location advice for the S Holston River. The house was all set for us and they also offer delivered food options so we didn’t need to take time away from the property to go to a restaurant. The house has every amenity, comfortable beds, great kitchen supplies, TV, outside grill, fire pit and yes Wifi. They are such nice hosts and I highly recommend their properties at Tailwaters Lodge!

We really enjoyed our stay in this cabin! Everything was super clean and kitchen was well stocked! We were close to the fly fishing on the South Holston! Loved the chairs out front for star gazing!

My friends and I used Pheasant Tail Cabin as our base of operations for fishing the S. Holston and Watauga Rivers. The cabin was perfect for hard-core fishermen who got up early, made breakfast, and didn't return till the evening. We then cooked supper and after eating, the best part of the stay was sitting in the Adirondack chairs around the fire pit, where we saw lots of wildlife, including a flock of wild turkeys, cottontail rabbits, a skunk, and hundreds of fireflies while we sipped bourbon before retiring to bed.

Nice spot

The owners are very pleasant and easy to work with - very accomodating - even down to small things like having coffee available. The space is great.

Owners where very helpfull with there property on letting us know where to fish and what we could do to make our experience awesome down by the river! Would definitely come back again!
