Great house if you’re looking to play golf. Island Pointe is a must play, and I’ll be back to play again.

The perfect spot for our family!

We had family coming in from 3 states for graduation weekend. The set up of the house and beds was perfect for our group of 10! The host even catered our meal (and it was delicious!). We loved the coffee bar and well-stocked kitchen. We hope to return!

Team lodging

It was a good place to stay for our team. It seemed to be private enough with out being too far away from our tournaments location. The campfire was perfect for us to sit around and bound and tell scary stories.

Fabulous Farmhouse

We had an amazing time with our family, celebrating a birthday and an early Christmas. The farmhouse was perfect, and our host was top notch. I would highly recommend this property. I look forward to using it again.

PRE-SUMMER CAMP VISIT

Par for the Course was a perfect stop on our trip from FL to northern TN for Scout summer camp. Plenty of space and beds, a terrific kitchen, plenty of bathrooms, and a beautiful property! I hope to bring my own family back here.

Just what was advertised

Came to Knoxville for a concert with friends and needed a place to stay overnight. The house was clean, comfortable beds, and the fire pit was a nice way to end our night.

Wedding getaway

We enjoyed the property so much. Sitting by the campfire was a highlight for us. We needed a place to gather our family and celebrate a wedding. This place did not disappoint. Plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and enjoy themselves. Thank you so much!

Great girls getaway!

We had 5 moms and 6 girls (14yo) in town for a softball game in Knoxville. We all loved the place. The girls want to go back and live there! We didn’t have much time at the house, but the time we did was great. We all loved it!

Farmhouse

We loved the property and hanging out on the front porch under the ceiling fan watching the birds fly by. Everything we wanted to do was within a 30 minute drive. The bedrooms were huge. There was plenty of room in the kitchen for multiple cooks and plenty of space for our family.

quiet

The place is nice and quiet, we enjoyed staying there. the bad thing is that they make you do part of the housekeeping. and they charge cleaning services.

Lacrosse Team Visit

I stayed at this location with my team for a night on our way somewhere. It was such a great trip! Honestly one of the highlights. The house had everything we needed. We cooked dinner for 16 people and were able to make everything using the cook wear provided. Everyone slept so well in really comfy beds. Thanks for having us!

We stayed here for our church women's retreat and plan to stay again. Perfection!

We have stayed many places for our retreats, but non compares to this one. They go above and beyond! The pictures really doesn't do it justice. Traci was readily available, talked to her numerous times before stay, but we didn't have to contact her during our stay, because there was no issues or reason too. I would reccomend this to anyone 100%!

Daughters wedding

House was very nice, a lot of ladybugs, but considering the area we dealt with that. My granddaughters were instructed to check under beds for lost toys , where we noticed there was about an inch of dust, again it didn’t affect our stay, just a note for the cleaning crew

Perfect home for big gatherings

We had 13 of us, our extended family in town for our daughter's graduation at the University of Tennessee. What a great home! We didn't get to take full advantage of the property becuase we didn't get there until 8pm. We had dinner and made a fire outside. We spent time on the back deck and watched golfers hit at the range. We were able to get in early to unload our food and decorate. It was peaceful and quiet. The kitchen was stocked with everything imaginable! Coffee bar was great! Such a lovely place for gathering! Wish we had more time to appreciate it all!

Family traditions and the touristy folks😉

This was an awesome place to stay, the owner is awesome as well in staying in touch. The work of the place was beautiful and not over the top. IF... I had a fuss of anything is the water pressure was lacking upstairs, downstairs was great tho, but owner did say that upgrades were coming w overall of this house...if you do not like staying in the hustle n bustle and like to travel back roads to get to touristy destination of the area, dont forget to deselect your highway directions on your gps to get around, being from Florida, these backroads cant hold a candle to the beautiful scenery and mountain travels. Thank you Par for the course for your opening your beautiful house.

Awesome stay at the perfect place

Our family gathered from 3 states to celebrate both a birthday and a family wedding. This house was perfect for our group of 14: 8 adults and 6 young boys. The yard and porches gave us plenty of elbow room and space for those boys to run off their energy. The kitchen was well- equipped and we even roasted marshmallows over the fire pit. We had a short 20 minute drive into Knoxville for a wedding and found an amazing birding park just about 1 mile away to take a couple of leisurely walks. Thank you to owner, Tracie, for her hospitality!

Loved Par for the Course Inn

I took my adult kids and grandkids to TN for our annual family vacation. When we arrived we all fell in love with the house and it’s history. You just don’t find houses like this anymore. There were plenty of beds, in fact 3 of the 5 bedrooms had 2 beds in each room. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. I brought my crockpot from home but they already had one there. The cleaning crew had the home in tip top condition. They recognize the importance of keeping the home extra clean in Covid conditions. There were 2 fire pits with lots of chairs to sit around the fire and relax. The yard was big which gave the 5,10 and 11 year olds room to run and play. Tracie was great to work with and was always available by phone or text, both before we arrived and while we were there. If we vacation there again we will definitely plan around availability of Par for the Course.
