Listing accuracy I gave 4 stars because I thought there was 1 King bed and they were Queens. I totally suggest a King bed in 1 of the bedrooms. Super clean and easy check in process! Great location leaving a UT game. Would stay here again😊

Cute House

House was as pictured. Very nicely updated, beds were comfortable. Our group traveled to Knoxville for a show check-in was at 4pm, due to a few days of terrible snow and cold weather the place had not been cleaned by 4pm so we had to find somewhere to kill time prior to the show. The housekeeper did a great job cleaning and was done by 7pm. Host offered late check-out for inconvenience. Due to the lack of heat in the house our group did not get to enjoy this rental 52-56 degrees is not a comfortable. My main problem was the heat in the house did not work. Because we did not have time to go back to the rental after it was cleaned because of our show. We did not know the heat was not working until 12am. Our group made the decision to stay despite it only being 56 degrees in the house. It was a very cold and uncomfortable night of sleep.

Nice house, guest services need improvement

Nicely refurbished and very clean home close to downtown and campus areas. Neighborhood is definitely still in transition. Lots of new apartments and remodeled homes, but also lots of run down homes too. Check-in was clunky. We arrived after 4 to find people at the house, which was confusing. Figured out it was the cleaner. We had to kill time until she finished cleaning. Realize things come up, but a text update would have been helpful so we could have planned accordingly. She did offer us late check out to make up for it, but our travel schedule didn't allow us to take advantage of it. The heat pump was right outside the main bedroom window and made a very loud humming sound when running, which was most of the time. Due to the noise keeping us awake, we had to move to the bedroom in the front of the house and sleep in twin beds. The bedding and towels were excellent, but we only had one hand towel for the bathrooms and no kitchen wash cloths or towels at all. I did leave my make-up mirror there and the cleaner was nice enough to hold on to it so we could pick it up when we went through Knoxville on our way back home, which was greatly appreciated!

Owner was unresponsive to requests. I chose this place because it had a grill. When I arrived, the grill did not turn on. I reached out to owner with no response. I reached out again the next day and he told me to go get gas for the tank. I have now lost 2 days and I have a fridge full of food for the grill. Overall, the place is fine. The grass has not been mowed and there are still Christmas decorations out in April. Also, the towels are moldy. The pictures are deceiving.

Pros: Very cute inside with lots of warm tones, old home charm and character. Nicely refurbished. Great tea selection for guests (thankful for that, since most hosts just supply a few days worth of coffee). Great location to all the local restaurants, sporting events, entertainment and walking. Cons: cleaning crew needs to do a better job with dusting, trash cans, “detailed work”. Outside is a bit deceiving, since yard and patio is not maintained, Christmas lights and decorations still up, but did appreciate the rocking chairs on the front porch to enjoy the weather and read. Took us 35 minutes to get into our rental once we got there, since the key code sent to us was not active, and the host was not responsive. Worked back-and-forth on the phone with VRBO and then all of a sudden the keypad worked.Overall, a good choice for a weekend rental when it comes to location and charm.
