Peaceful stay

This was a great place to stay. It was very quiet and peaceful. The beds were comfortable. The shower was great for a tall person. The essential oil diffuser was a nice added touch. We enjoyed visiting the Smoky Mountain National Park and Pigeon Forge which were not too far away.

Lovely cottage

My daughter and I stayed for a number of events at the University and at the Convention Center. We loved the cottage. Many small details made it very comfortable, it was very clean, and the area was quiet. We were very convenient to downtown, UT, and the river. Kathy was a great host. I’d definitely stay again.

Relaxing and Peaceful

We enjoyed our weekend in Knoxville while staying at Kathy's vacation rental. The property was easy to find -- just a short drive from downtown, and the check in information that was provided made the process quick and easy. The home was clean, cute and cozy. It looked exactly as pictured on line -- a setting both quiet and peaceful.

We had 4 adults stay for 2 nights to visit UTK for a football game. This was a great place to stay. The house was adoreable, clean, and very convenient to the university. The biggest stand out was the home owner, Kathy. She is incredibly friendly and helpful. She gave us great recommendations and helped us out with a few requests. I highly recommend staying here.

Cute & cozy cottage

We stayed 2 nights in the cottage. It’s small but met all our needs. The kids said the twin beds were very comfy. The owner was responsive & friendly. I was worried the location would be farther away from campus and Knoxville proper but it wasn’t bad. Would stay again!

Hidden gem!

Kathy's rental is an absolute hidden gem in Knoxville! The cleanest and neatest rental I've stayed at, stocked with absolutely everything you could need. Very close and convenient to everything in Knoxville, but you don't feel like you are in the city. Kathy was very nice and extremely quick with communication and anything you could need. Would definitely recommend and will absolutely book again!
