Stayed here for the first time on our annual Thanksgiving weekend visit to Bristol. The house was conveniently located close to State Street in a quiet neighborhood. The features as well as character made it a cozy place to stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful welcoming and spacious home that was even better than the pictures depicted. The beds and seating were comfortable and the entire space was tastefully decorated. We appreciated the laundry room.. it was clean and spacious. The host had water/ food bowls and even a treat for our dog! All of the rooms were well thought out in presentation and with everything we needed to enjoy our stay and more. Wish we were able to fully enjoy the space with a longer stay.

We had a wonderful time at Apple Hill Bungalow. The home was warm and inviting--and it had everything we needed. Enjoyed exploring the neighborhood on our nightly walks with the pups. Cooper and Quincy give it four paws up. We'll definitely be back again. Thank you, John and Mel, for your hospitality.

Lovely stay in Bristol

We really enjoyed our stay at John’s place with our two pups. It was a great location to visit the Bristol Caverns, Steel Creek Park, and the downtown area. We also made a quick visit to Abingdon to see a friend’s play at the Barter Theatre. John is a thoughtful and communicative host.

The house was exactly as advertised and was perfect for my in laws, wife , my self and our dog . Father in law wanted to visit some old friends from when he lived there and this home worked perfectly for us to bring him and mom down from Michigan to do so !

Cozy Cottage

We loved our stay in Bristol. It was a very relaxing stay for us. The house was extremely clean and as described on VRBO. The house provided everything we needed; unlike many other VRBO's we have stayed at in the past. The owner's even left us a thank you note. What a nice touch! The only con was the picture of the outside of the house showed a flat surface going to the house. This is one of the reasons I chose this house. My husband is in a wheelchair. There were several steps we had to maneuver that made it a little difficult.

Absolutely amazing!!

The house is so cute! I loved the skeleton keys placed around the house - i have always been obsessed with them. You guys thought of everything! We were so excited when we walked in and saw just how cute and cozy the house was and the water bowls and treats for the dogs. We come to Bristol for the race and just to visit and this house will be our go to moving forward. Thank you for being so accomodating by allowing the pups and allowing us to extend our stay a day. The board in the kitchen with restaurant information for the area was a great touch! We will be back to visit again - hopefully sooner than later.
