Tailwaters Lodge On The South Holston

Discover Tailwaters Lodge on the South Holston, a rare investment and lifestyle opportunity set on 13.63± private acres with 540± feet of frontage on the world-famous South Holston River in Bristol, Tennessee. This fully developed and turnkey property includes seven modern-rustic cabins—each fully furnished and recently refurbished—offering guests refined comfort just steps from one of the top trout fisheries in the country.

Zoned AR (Agricultural/Recreational), Tailwaters Lodge on the South Holston holds a significant competitive edge. Unlike most properties limited to single-family use, this zoning permits continued expansion with approvals already in place for a 3,500± square foot central lodge and an additional two-bedroom cabin. Only a handful of riverfront properties share this designation, making this an extremely rare and valuable asset.

Anglers will appreciate unmatched access to over a mile of wadeable water, with direct adjacency to TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) public lands. The South Holston offers exceptional year-round fishing with daily hatches, a thriving wild brown trout population, and ideal conditions whether the TVA is generating or not. Guests can wade right from their cabins or float with guides.

Tailwaters Lodge on the South Holston is fully operational with an experienced marketing team, CPA, cleaning staff, and caterers already in place. Its location—tucked at the end of a dead-end road, yet just minutes from Bristol and the Tri-Cities Airport—provides rare seclusion without sacrificing convenience.

Whether you’re seeking a legacy property, a profitable hospitality venture, or both, Tailwaters Lodge on the South Holston is a one-of-a-kind opportunity in East Tennessee.
