This was the perfect location for our event held at the Convention Center. Near so many restaurants and places to visit. House was very clean, welcoming and we would not hesitate to stay here again!
House was great and spacious for our group. There were two parking spaces and a good size backyard. The backyard is not fully fenced but the gaps are adequately blocked. The house is in a great location very close to the university and downtown. Overall, we would stay there again.
We stayed at Urban Island for four nights over Easter weekend. It was the perfect respite for us and our dogs as we visited our son who is a student at UTK. The house was very well decorated and equipped with everything we needed. Check-in was flawless and we quickly got settled in for a relaxing weekend. The yard was perfect for our two dogs who were entertained by the local wildlife. We highly recommend this spot if you are visiting Knoxville.
Great property in a great location. Our host stayed in constant contact throughout our visit and made our stay super easy. Check-in and check-out was a seamless process. Highly recommend this property if you are visiting Knoxville.
We loved the location as the neighborhood was very quiet and was close to where we needed to be. The home was very clean and communication with the property manager was excellent.
Excellent stay for traveling with our pet. Large yard made everything easier! House was clean and beds were super comfortable. For light sleepers, the downstairs bedroom could hear traffic noise.
Location is perfect! Customer service is exceptional! Full kitchen, I came in town for a family reunion was able to make banana pudding and broccoli casserole. Cooked breakfast and enjoyed the back seating area. My dogs were able to enjoy the back yard as well without being on a leash!! Great place to stay!
We had a great stay. The house is convenient to local shopping and restaurants. The home was well decorated and furnished. The owners ensure we had everything we needed and were very attentive. We will stay there again if we are in the area.
4 nights, convenient neighborhood in South Knoxville, close to restaurants and bars by an easy walk. Area is up and coming and has an exciting vibe. Home is spacious and well-appointed. Owners were polite and easy to communicate with. Overall, a pleasant stay!
We're so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the home to be comfortable and cozy! We're thrilled to see you had a 5 star stay and would absolutely welcome your group back any time.
Cute home that was great for our weekend get away. Comfortable beds! Yard was fenced but not fully enclosed. Great little enclosed area overlooking the backyard.
We loved this house and location for our stay for UT game and visit with our students. Would highly recommend. I wished we had a car while there because the Ubers added up but otherwise definitely perfect for us! (Two families, 9 people total)
We were in Knoxville to be with family and Urban Island was fantastic. You will understand the name of the house when you arrive bc it really is on an island of land! Very nice house with everything you could need. We had a dog we lost a few days before our arrival and the owner’s brought flowers and a dog toy for our other dog. Was really very nice of them! We will definitely be back!

About the host
Hosted by Lodgic Hospitality
Why they chose this property
Beautifully spacious home in the heart of SoKno with a large back yard the whole family can enjoy. Immaculately designed with multiple layers of chic decor that even the most discerning eye will appreciate. With three bedrooms and two full bathrooms the whole family has plenty of space to spread out.
What makes this property unique
- The home is literally on an island inside of a neighborhood. There are streets on all sides. It's very unique. - The driveway will only fit 3 cars comfortably. - The backyard is NOT fully fenced in. There are several large entrances without a gate in the fence. Please watch your children and pets when they are in the back yard. We recommend keeping pets on a leash in the backyard.
