We had a great stay at this pet friendly cute cottage in south knox! The property was clean and cozy and had all the things we needed for a fun weekend with our grown kids who are local to the area!It is a great location and checks a lot of boxes! Close to the university, great restaurants on the riverfront and walking distance to great hiking, bike trails and outside activities for kids!Definitely recommend this cozy cottage if you need a home away from home!

This is really more than a 5 star rental. It’s so convenient, so very, very clean and beautiful. For the price of a hotel room on a busy Knoxville weekend you get a truly comfortable house. We made two full meals there and a two more breakfasts, saving a couple hundred dollars. Also, some of our favorite food places are so nearby- Kerns Food Hall, SoKno Tacos, South Coast Pizza, 71 South… We mostly avoid traffic since our kids live nearby. This is our second stay in this house while visiting our son and family and I always hope this place is available when we visit.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful, generous review! I love hearing that you and your family were able to enjoy home-cooked meals during your stay, as that is a top priority for me as a guest and a host. I hope to have you stay at the cottage again in the near future! Take care, Beth
