We enjoyed our stay at this property while in the area for the Knoxville Nationals. It met our needs perfectly. It was clean and well stocked with bed linens, towels, dishes, utensils, microwave etc. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The water pressure in the shower is good and we had plenty of hot water for 3 of us to take back-to-back showers. It's a bit secluded so it was very quiet. The information we received from the owner regarding check-in and check-out were thorough. We would definitely consider staying here again if we ever come back to the Nationals.
