We all LOVE Knoxville and our adventure there.
If you are looking for a comfortable home, with everything you need in a stay away from home, don’t hesitate to contact Edward and enjoy a cute home away from home. We had staples in the cupboard and soap, detergent, tons of fluffy white towels along with a super air conditioner to keep your cool while you’re in the very hot south. We loved it and will certainly be back. Edward even brought us delicious cookies for a special treat. Thanks Edward for everything!

Great location
We stayed here because it was so close to family we were visiting. House was a little outdated but overall was spacious enough for our family of 5. The host was very responsive and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again!

Christmas in Knoxville
It was a good location for our family. We were close to two other homes of friends we wanted to spend time with during the holidays. There was a very nice park nearby, and plenty of stores and restaurants. The owner even had a Christmas tree there waiting for us! Very clean and comfortable, had everything we needed! Thank you, we enjoyed our time there.

Great Location and Comfortable
Our family enjoyed our stay in Edwin's house. It was comfortable, clean, had ample amenities, spacious, and a great location for everything you might want to do in Knoxville. The property description was a bit confusing. Read the fine print carefully. The office is only available for use if you rent for one month. So, it really only sleeps four adults in two bedrooms rather than the listed occupancy of five. There was an air mattress and a sofa for additional sleeping. Overall, the home and location worked well.

Family fun
Had a great time seeing a concert at UTK and visiting Knoxville. We even made a quick day trip to Gatlinburg. House was 10 minutes from UtK campus and downtown Knoxville
Property was as described. Check-in/Check-out easy to navigate and all communication was smooth and welcoming. We were very comfortable at the house ~ from living space to bedrooms. Location was easy an easy drive to anywhere we were going.
