About the host
Hosted by Mary M Kidwell
Hi, I’m Mary — a Knoxville Realtor, teacher, and proud UTK alum who loves helping others feel at home in East Tennessee. My family and I renovated the Peaceful Powell Retreat to create a calm, comfortable space for travelers, families, and professionals to relax and recharge.
We’ve lived and worked in the Knoxville area for years and love sharing local favorites — from nearby greenways and restaurants to the best downtown spots for coffee or live music. Whether you’re visiting for work, school, or play, I’m happy to help you enjoy an easy, welcoming stay that feels like home.

Why they chose this property
Easy access, safe, and mature neighborhood. Several trails nearby that have streams, the library, woods, bike/walk/run trails and even tennis courts. We actually bought this home to live in with a family member who was not able to stay long term so we needed to rent it out. It is minutes from the University of Tennessee I-40/75/640, groceries, restaurants, and more. Great location to easily get to UTK football, basketball, baseball, and other UTK games/events.
Also just minutes to many medical facilities; felt a group might want to lease for a mid-term stay while working for one of those.

What makes this property unique
We spent 18 months making renovations ourselves! We have added items we use daily and have tried to make it a comfortable place to stay. All new baths (except tubs), new granite, new flooring throughout, most new lighting, USB outlets, an Alexa and a Google, coffee press and pot, air fryer, Blackstone griddle, new appliances, new room darkening shades, new curtains, new beds, mattresses and bedding, new doorknobs and hardware, lots of new paint, and more. Scott and I celebrated our 36th anniversary at the home taking down wallpaper from the Master Bath. We put our heart and soul into making it nice for others.
