We had a wonderful stay at Terry's property, even though we were there through Hurricane Helene. Because of the solar power, we were never without electricity, water, etc, despite the terrible storm. We were incredibly grateful to be in such a well equipped house to ride out the weather! Terry was unbelievably helpful when we tried to venture out after the storm passed, only to find three trees down over the driveway and one lane road into the property. He was there with a chainsaw within minutes of us calling him and he spent over an hour cutting up and moving the trees so that we were able to get out. We cannot say enough about his attentiveness and hospitality.
Despite the storm, we were able to enjoy Bristol and Abingdon, both of which are just a short ride away. We had delicious pizza from Machiavelli's in Bristol, BBQ from Delta Blues in Abindon, and we stumbled upon the Hoppy Possum Brewer's Festival, which was the highlight of our trip. If you have a chance to visit during this festival, it's a must do for beer lovers!
Terry's cabin was exactly as described in the posting. Its completely secluded, but with everything you need for a quiet, peaceful getaway. We never felt "off the grid" since we had electricity and cell service the whole time and were able to watch tv, use our hotspot devices, etc. Once the storm passed, we were able to enjoy fires in the fireplace on the screened porch, which was our favorite spot at the cabin. We will definitely return!
