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.



2022 South Bay Pontoon Boats available to rent from the marina!

House boat vacation

This house boat is a 10 out of 10 and I'd recommend it to anyone that want's to stay on a boat verses a cabin. This was our first experience staying on a house boat and it was an awesome stay. Our host Angie was so welcoming and helpful in letting us know what was available to do in the area.

Such a cute little place :) There were just 2 of us friends and we loved our stay. Anyone over 6ft might need to be careful they don't hit their head walking around (but that was not a problem for us!) Angie was communicable, but just the right amount :) Would definitely stay again.

First stay on a houseboat - Loved it.

My wife and I had never stayed on a houseboat. This property was spotlessly clean and well furnished for a comfortable stay. Owner was the best host you could hope for. She explained what we could expect and what the marina offered to its guests. Our stay was nice and peaceful and very relaxing. We plan future stays.

About the host

Hosted by Angie Wilson

Host profile image
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.
