Game Day Retreat Near Downtown Knoxville

Summary:

Welcome to your peaceful South Knoxville neighborhood, coffee brewing as sunlight fills the home and the day begins without a rush. Head out for a morning hike at Ijams or a bike ride at Baker Creek, then spend the afternoon exploring downtown (only 10 minutes away) or gearing up for a Vols game! Come back to your cozy retreat, cook dinner, and sink into the couch for a relaxed night together, laughing, unwinding, and feeling completely at home, close to everything, yet peacefully your own.



The Space:

Tucked into a quiet South Knoxville neighborhood just 3 miles from Neyland Stadium and 10 minutes from downtown, this cozy two-bedroom home is the ideal base for game day weekends, outdoor adventures, and family getaways that don't need the chaos of a hotel. Simple, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked — this is the kind of place that feels like home from the moment you walk in.



Inside the Home



The single-level layout keeps everything easy and accessible. Natural light fills the open living area, anchored by a comfortable sofa, Smart TV, and a unique electric piano that adds a little personality to the space — great for quiet evenings or a little spontaneous fun with the group. The fully equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a drip coffee maker stocked with starter coffee, and everything you need for full meals in — cookware, dishware, blender, and toaster all included. The dining table comfortably seats the group for meals, games, and conversation. In-unit washer and dryer, high-speed WiFi, and keyless self check-in round out the conveniences.

Outdoor Space



Step outside to a spacious yard with room to spread out, relax, and enjoy the South Knoxville air. It's a simple, private outdoor space that adds a genuine bonus for families with kids or anyone who wants a little fresh air without leaving the property. Driveway parking for up to two vehicles makes arrivals easy.



Getting Around



The location is genuinely one of the best parts of this property. Ijams Nature Center is 1 mile away — one of Knoxville's best hiking and outdoor destinations. Baker Creek Preserve and Island Home Park with its kayak launch, tennis courts, and picnic areas are less than a mile out. Downtown Knoxville, Market Square, and the Tennessee Theatre are just 2 miles away. And Neyland Stadium is 3 miles from your front door — making this the go-to home base for Vols game weekends when hotels are packed and overpriced.



This is South Knoxville living at its best — quiet enough to actually rest, close enough to everything that matters, and priced for guests who know what good value looks like.
