Bristol is a city split between Virginia and Tennessee. It is known for the original birthplace of country music and the Brisol Motor Speedway. Unknown to most outsiders is the wonderful lake.

Views are much better when leaves are off trees in off season but the lake gets exciting in summer with the activities and nice lake beaches. Beds: 1 queen, 1 full, 2 twin, 2 sleeper sofa.
