The property was as listed and was very quiet. We enjoyed sitting on porch and looking out windows at the animals. Check in and check out was very easy.
We had a great time at the house. It was the perfect place to stay. We loved our welcome from the host and the house was very clean with everything we could need.
We really enjoyed staying at this country home. My husband loved petting the friendly cows and we both relaxed in the rockers on the front porch. The house was clean and had anything you needed including snacks.
The house is very clean and cute! Quick responses to all questions and requests. The host approved a late check-out, so we had somewhere to stay until our lake house was ready at Lake Norris. My kids love visiting the animals with the help of the host family's friend. One recommendation would be to change the photo of the home since it is a different color. We did pass the house at first because it does not look like the photo at all. The new blue color is beautiful!
This was a clean comfortable vacation stay. Having a washer and dryer available and plenty of clean towels was a plus. The kitchen was very well set up also. We would stay at this property on our next visit.
Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was very clean and was well stocked for our 2 night stay. The owner is super nice and took time to show us their farm animals, which my kids loved.
The house was absolutely lovely!!! You couldn’t have asked for a cleaner, more beautiful place to stay. The host and his family were wonderful, even allowing my children to help feed the chickens. It was nice to get my children away from all their creature comforts and enjoy some of the country side. If I could rate our stay on a scale of 1 out of 10, I would give it a100!!!
this property is in a quiet area. We enjoyed the quiet and all the farm animals. The host family was very kind and attentive. The house was equipped with everything we needed. it really felt like home. We definitely will stay here again
This was just what we needed for a few days. Very clean. Owner was very responsive when we had an issue with an outlet in the kitchen. Not a lot of space, but clean and quiet.
Our family took a trip to explore the Knoxville area. Check in was simple and the house had everything we needed and was very clean. It was great to have our own space and not be confined in a hotel room. We didn’t spend much time at the house as we were out exploring most of the days, but the beds were comfortable and it was quiet and peaceful when we were there. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay Keith!
We had a great time! We loved that their were bunk beds so no one had to sleep on a sofa bed. The house was just the right size for us. Everything was perfect. The house had everything we could possibly need. It was the best stocked VRBO we’ve ever used. We will definitely be back!
Was in town for work and rented this property from Keith. The entire process went very smooth and easy. Keith and his family were very kind and welcoming when we got there. The property it’s self was very comfortable and enjoyable for the length of our stay with perfect distance from Knoxville to give it a country feel with access to all the amenities. We felt at home there and will definitely stay again!
We stayed here for 2 nights. The host was friendly and communicative. We had a minor issue with the heat but nothing huge. The kitchen was well stocked. Good water pressure and hot water. The bed was a little soft for our personal preference but it was nice. Perfect space for a small family. The chickens were fun neighbors.
Probably the cleanest VRBO we’ve ever stayed at. The owner, Keith, was very friendly and helpful as well as his two boys we met during our short stay in Powell. Meeting their little lamb Leah was a big hit for our two teenage daughters. The chickens were very friendly and fun to watch as the roamed the property. It’s the perfect distance from Knoxville to make you feel like you’re getting away from the city life, but only around fifteen minutes away. We’d definitely stay here again; it’s updated, clean and comfortable. So glad we didn’t stay in downtown Knoxville and stayed here instead!
This property exceeded our expectations! When we first walked in we were all so impressed with how clean and up to date every thing was. Anything we could have needed was provided for us. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals for our family of 5. There was even a highchair for our baby to use. The host family was very accommodating, Keith even let me borrow a screwdriver to put our babies push walker together. We were there for the 4th of July and they even invited us to a great place to watch fireworks. I highly recommend staying here, you definitely won't be disappointed.
My family of six enjoyed our short getaway at this property. 20 minutes to Knoxville & 1 hour to Pigeon Forge, traffic permitting. Close enough to everything else you would need. We’ll definitely stay again when in the area.
