About this property

Millstone Retreat / basement walk-out Apt. w/a private entrance/driveway & pool

The Millstone Retreat is a quiet walkout apartment in the peaceful home of Mike & Ivana (We live upstairs) that is centered between down town Knoxville and the Smoky Mountain exit 407. Being less than a mile off Interstate 40, we offer an easy in and out situation. The Retreat is a uniquely designed experience that combines all the modern conveniences that one would expect in an AB&B with a taste of life from the past. You will enter through your own entrance into an all season cedar sunroom where you can look out at nature through the large window and viewing panes of the 1928 Mighty Wurlitzer Organ that resides in the historic Tennessee Theatre. These panels were once used to view the analog mechanisms of the mighty 1928 Wurlitzer, but were removed when the organ went fully digital. From there you can go into the large common room with an open floor plan that has a full kitchen, dining area and den. There is a wood burning stove housed under the 200 year old mantle where you can warm yourself by the fire on those cold Tennessee nights. The master bed room is off the kitchen area and hosts a king size bed and lots of room (we can even put in a twin bed for someone in there for a third person if you so desire or need it). The second bed room is set up as a kid’s bedroom (but adults can sleep there in comfort as well). We wanted kids to feel special here. Being grandparents this is important to us. It comes with a large chalk board, play desk and all kinds of disinfected toys. This room has a queen bed and a twin bed as well. The sunroom has a day bed with a trundle bed under it so 2 twin beds in that room. The bathroom is one of a kind. It has a roll in shower with 3 shower heads and a walk in tub. It was designed to give the feel of an old millhouse but with all the comforts you would expect. There is a stackable washer and dryer for your convenience as well. Outside, we have a gas grill under the cover of the deck next to the pool. Yes, we have a pool that is open from late May to about mid-September. It is a large in-ground pool with an LED multicolored light that makes for awesome night swims! By the pool there is a fire pit on our slate patio for those cooler nights to enjoy the evening. It is here that we have the family millstone set up as a table or bench. It came out of Smith creek up in the Statesville, Tennessee area. I have personally counted over 30 species of colorful song birds, raptors and game birds on our property. We are only 15 minutes from Market Square, downtown Knoxville and Neyland Stadium. The Magee Tyson airport is only 35 mins from here. Your stay will include some fresh country eggs (as long as they are laying), courtesy of “the Ladies,” and I have a car service as well. Our desire is that we have travelers, vacationers and event goers to make the Millstone Retreat their personal place to stay every year. *WE DO NOT TAKE ANY FORM OF PAYMENT BUT CREDIT CARD THROUGH THIS SITE’S PAY ARRANGEMENTS !.

Short-Term only
We stayed for two months while relocating, but it's more suitable for short stays. There is no comfortable seating other than a single recliner, and every surface, wall, drawer, cabinet, and closet is mostly full, so there's little space to put things of your own. It's peaceful on the patio and mostly quiet inside, although the owners (who live upstairs) were doing renovations most of the time we were there, and the construction noise along with heavy feet early in the morning were not ideal. If we had been there in the summer to take advantage of the pool and outside area it would probably have been more enjoyable. The location is extremely close to interstate 40, you can glimpse it from the patio, so it's very convenient. They were kind enough to put up a Christmas tree for us to enjoy, which was so nice, the chickens are wonderful entertainment, and the fresh eggs were a lovely gift. PS Had we not had an elderly man with us who needed a walk in shower, we would have been out after the first week.

Everyone asks me where I'm from. Well, I was born in Alaska, went to grade school in Missouri, Junior High in Germany, High School in San Antonio and I went to Baylor...Sic Em Bears!. Yea, my dad was in the Air Force/23 years and retired as a E9. Ivana is a Tennessee girl, from Lebanon, just outside of Nashville. She went to MTSU where she got her nursing degree. She works 12 hour shifts in patients home who were cold war veterans for a company that gets paid by US Depart of Labor. Ivana and I came here from Southern Illinois to start a business. We sold that business in 2016 and now I'm Simi-retired, but can’t sit still so I started a Limo Service... E T Limo

Why they chose this property

We bought this house because it had a great apartment for mikes dad, but he died shortly after moving in. So, we totally renovated and set up the apartment for friends and family to stay in as they played in the Smokeys or traveled to east TN. So we have opened it to you too! It was put together with YOU in mind.

What makes this property unique

We are half way between Bass Pro Shop, Exit 407, the exit for Sevierville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and down town Knoxville. This area of Tennessee has do much to see and do we just know we will see many people coming here to enjoy our blessings.
