About this property
BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED HOUSEBOAT on Tennessee River with golfcart in Knoxville !
This 1984 50’ Jamestowner has undergone a complete renovation! You’ll enjoy the rustic beams on the ceiling while enjoying new furniture, all new appliances, new kitchen & comfortable bedding. I fell in love with this boat when first I saw it and knew with a little love and TLC it could be restored to new life! I know you will have fond memories of this very unique stay in beautiful East Tennessee! The boat is located at Volunteer Landing Marina. Downtown Knoxville and the beautiful Volunteer Landing are a short walk away. ***Please note that the boat must stay at the marina and attached to the slip. I will provide a golf cart for your use during your stay for transporting your belongings. I will meet you for check-in and go over basic systems of the boat and will leave you to your privacy, but I'm only a text or call away in case you need anything.
***Swimming is not permitted from the boat or within 100 yards of the marina per TN State law.
***This may not be suitable for young children due to proximity of water.
Responsible pet owners are are welcome to bring pets but only with prior approval and fee applies based on type of pet(s) and length of stay. Pets are permitted only with prior approval and a fee applies which may vary but is typically $15/pet per day depending on size/breed and length of stay. They must be under a flea control regimen, not permitted on furniture/bedding, and not left while owners are out unless crated and non barking. Thank you for your cooperation so the accommodation is pleasant for future guests and those in boats nearby.
***Tennessee Volunteers home football gameday weekends, UT graduation, and Big Ears Festival require a 3 night minimum stay***
**Absolutely NO parties or loud outdoor music is permitted and additional visitors must get host approval to maintain the security of the marina. Quiet hours are 10pm-7am. I take the marina requirements very seriously and guests may be asked to vacate with no refund if I receive a complaint. It is a family oriented facility and being able to rent my houseboat here is a privilege. Thank you for making it a pleasant location for all marina guests.

About the host
Hosted by Angie Wilson
Hello! I'm Angie! I've been a dental hygienist for 26 years and decided to take a break to branch out into the super fun world of hosting. I currently have 3 boats available for rental. I love meeting new people and providing a fun, unique alternative to traditional hotels/condos. I strive for 5 star properties with an exceptionally clean/disinfected accommodation and attention to details.
Why they chose this property
This houseboat is a very unique stay! It may not be for everyone so if you're expecting 10' ceilings and complete solitude please don't book it. But if you're looking for a different fun experience directly on the water, then prepare for a stay that will be like no hotel or condo can match!
What makes this property unique
The boat is within walking distance to downtown Knoxville, Market Square, and historic Gay Street. It has been renovated for a cozy feel with all new appliances, furniture, and bedding.
