About this property
Modern Apartment in Historic Building
Stay in one of the most unique buildings in Rocky Top, TN - a Bank Building from 1900, where the Coal miners used to deposit their money in the old days! Many of the artifacts from that time are being carefully restored and are or will soon be on display in the building.
This unique property has been carefully renovated to include all the modern amenities yet displaying its old time charm from an era when it served as the first bank of Rocky Top. Imagine the place how it was in the days gone when the coal miners came by horseback to deposit their hard earned money!
Part of the uniqueness of the building are the thick brick walls that keep the room inside cool and comfortable in summer and in winter the brick holds the warmth.
The location is very convenient to Briceville and Beech Grove and you can ride your vehicles directly from "The Bank" to the trails of Windrock. Once unloaded, you never have to load your gear again until you have to go home.
The living space has a large living room integrated with the kitchen that serves as a gathering place for the whole family. The living room is equipped with a Queen Sleeper Sofa and a large Roku TV. In the kitchen you find a glass top stove with oven, built in microwave, dishwasher, large sink, side by side fridge and freezer and all the cookware you need to cook a wonderful meal.
In the adjacent bedroom area a comfortable Queen sized bed awaits you to rest and gather strength for the next day. The nightstands are equipped with USB plugs for easy charging of your electronic devices. The bedroom is equipped with a ceiling fan.
Right next to the bedroom you find an oversized bathroom with a good sized corner shower and all other amenities.
Outside the property you find outdoor seating space. From there you can enjoy the sunset over the mountain or views of Coal Creek with its cranes, king fishers and martins hunting for food.
Enjoy the nostalgia and charm of this old brick building and the occasional train passing by on the trestle.
A grocery store is conveniently located within walking distance so you do not even have to get back in the car to do your shopping!
From the property you can access Windrock directly without ever having to trailer your rides. Simply ride up to Briceville or Beech Grove and hit the trails of Windrock!

Pro#1-Nadja is the owner/host you want! Communication top tier! Pro#2-The unit is soo unique and welcoming as you walk through the bank door. Pro#3-This location is safe (police station right around the corner). Unit is only a few mins off the highway and downtown is about 30 mins away. Pro#4-Unit is spotless and has every thing you need for 24hrs to long term. Shower water presser is even great!-Pro#5-Dollar general Family dollar are both close if you forgot anything Walmart is maybe 15 mins away. I cant not thank Nadja enough for saving the day and making our stay so great! will stay again-BOOK THIS UNIT.
We stayed here the night of our wedding and loved the building! Owners were very accommodating and easy to talk to. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!
To take a historic building (a bank) and turn it into a modern day Vrbo is impressive. But incorporating pictures and pieces from the past into the decor was unexpected and amazing. The location is perfect (center of town). It is within walking distance of most restaurants and places you will want to explore. Not only would I recommend staying here, but I look forward to returning later this year.

Thank you, Shawn, for your kind words. Yes, this project was a big one. It demanded time, ambition, and a great deal of due diligence. It challenged me on every level, but seeing it come to life and words like yours has made every effort worth it. I'm truly proud of the result.But with all the great support I got from my family and friends, my contractor(s) and the team around me, we got it done! Thank you again and I look forward for you to see the old bank safe when you come back. It is almost done!
