This is not your typical rental! It’s created for family fun and up to 6-8 guests. This 1,800 sq. ft. home is located on Johnson City’s east side, just minutes from Jonesborough, ETSU, the Med-Tech corridor, Kingsport, & Bristol, baby! Comfort was our primary consideration with thoughtfully selected brand-new mattresses, some new furniture and fixtures, and a well-stocked kitchen. This house is equipped for FUN with a pool table, air hockey, ping-pong, and video arcade console.

The space
From our experience, we have gathered all the basics for a fun family stay. It’s the little stuff like convenient USB charging locations, having measuring cups, vegetable oil, or even a selection of spices that make a difference! It’s complete with a comfortable tree-covered sitting deck with a propane grill in a nice neighborhood. There is also a fire pit. Shampoo, conditioner, and many other comforts are provided. This is definitely NOT a house for parties.

Our home is very dear to us. We updated and added things we have missed in other short term rental homes we have stayed in. It is a great place for families or small groups. It has some recent paint, fresh carpet, and some really nice updates.

This home sleeps six comfortably, up to eight potentially. The first bedroom has a king bed (2 guests) with a TV. The second bedroom has a queen (2), and the third features 2 twin beds. There is a very comfortable inflatable twin mattress (1) in the closet with extra bedding. We have a Pack-N-Play unit, high chair, and lots of things for babies and toddlers.

The living room has a brand-new recliner, couch, TV, and fireplace. The family room has a couch with a 55” TV, pool table, air hockey, ping-pong, and much more family fun! Lots of board games and books are available for you to enjoy.

The kitchen has almost everything you could need to cook a meal with your family or friends. We’ve got the basics that you don’t want to buy when visiting a short-stay location.

We have free Wi-Fi and three smart TVs with many free channels, local television channels, and your subscription app-based services like Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, HBO Max, etc.

Guest access
Entire house and up to four exterior parking places. Hosts are off site.

Other things to note
One well-behaved smaller dog or a cat will be considered. We reserve the right to refuse any dog based on the potential of digging or going over the fence. Our neighbors to the left have a few hens and a duck, and our neighbors to our right have a small day care with young children.

    We stayed here while in town for my grandmother's funeral, and it provided a much-needed place to relax and unwind after some difficult days.The house was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of room for our family. We especially enjoyed the game room and spent several evenings playing games together. It was a great way to decompress and enjoy some quality time during our stay.The rock-and-roll décor was a fun touch and gave the home a unique personality. We enjoyed all the details and thought that went into the theme.Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and would recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable and entertaining place to stay. Thank you for helping make a challenging trip a little easier.

    It was an amazing place to relax as we had a busy busy week in Johnson City. Fantastic place for my toddler to let loose after a long day of being stuck in the car and it was so nice to have a decently stocked kitchen and toy box on top of everything else.

    Stayed here for a week in April. Nice quiet neighborhood to spend the week while helping college daughter out after she had ACL surgery. No complaints with the house. It was very clean, had plenty of space, and was very well stocked. Yard and deck made a great area to sit out and enjoy the outside. Kitchen had all the supplies we could need. Although we never used it the game room was a great setup. Beds were comfortable and we all slept well. The couch is the main living room is a bit worn. It was fine - but definitely not new as the description as said. Dining room table area was very useful for us. Location was good - away from the immediate busyness but within a short drive (5-10 minutes) of mall, restaurants, and other stuff. Word of warning that the rooster next door crows a lot! It was not a problem. Became kind of a running joke for us but if there is a light sleeper in the secondary bedrooms they may hear that. We did not have any problem or complaint with it. Tiffiny and Don were great hosts. Communication was great and very friendly. All in all a good stay. We would stay here again if back in town for several days.

    We stayed at the house for a soccer tournament. Great location- only 5 min from the fields. Host was amazing. Helpful, offered a late check out since we were playing in a championship game and needed that little extra time to get out. We will keep this in mind for our next trip here! House was clean, washer and dryer worked and yard was perfect for the fur babies!

    We really enjoyed our stay with Tiffany and Don. Great hosts! And the name, Family Retreat is quite appropriate. While our schedule didn't allow us to enjoy everything they provided (and it is a LOT) we know when we next return we would want to explore even more. The home is very comfortable, communication was fantastic, and lots of extras were provided. Truly a great place to stay!

If we needed something it was already provided in the well stocked kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and game room. We’ll definitely stay again when visiting family and friends.

    We absolutely love this house, I was impressed with how Tiffany and Don thought of everything! I have never stayed in a better stocked or a cleaner home! That said we did want to share a bit of feedback that we hope is helpful. The air-conditioning unfortunately didn't cool the space well, and the temperature stayed quite warm even with the fans going, especially overnight which made it hard to get a full night's sleep. If the issue with the air-conditioning is addressed I would definitely love to return to this clean-charming home.
