The boathouse is in a roof over marina that helped keep the heart down when sitting up on the deck. While many other boats, there wasn't many people coming and going. The inside was clean and efficient as one would expect s large boat to be. We only stayed one night but was very nice and within walking distance from downtown restaurants, etc
Super clean and felt very comfortable! Host was awesome to work with and would recommend everyone try this place out. Now my wife and I can say we have stayed on a houseboat!
Everything was wonderful. Houseboat was clean, cozy and well appointed. I especially liked all the outdoor areas to sit and enjoy the views. Such a nice change from a typical hotel, it felt more like a mini-vacation being on the water. Neighbors were pleasant and courteous. Would love to stay again.
What a cool location! The house boat was great, the vibe on the dock was mellow and fun. We only stayed one night but I would def book again if we’re in the area. We walked to dinner and had a lovely morning sunrise on the dock. Our kids loved the experience. Beds were comfortable and I loved the books in the space.
Really unique stay, comfortable beds. Clean, but Interior and exterior could use some freshening up. Dated materials that show wear and tear- but to be expected fit age of the boat.
Great area, especially if you are into outdoors activities and visiting. Right next to the outdoor center where you can rent bikes and scooters. A little farther of a walk to downtown than I wanted. But all in all still doable and a great location.
The property was well described. It was clean and comfortable. It is a small space, perfect for three or four people. The bathroom is small but functional. It’s close to the Old City. Quite walkable. The host was awesome and quick to respond to all communications.
My wife and I traveled from Maryland to visit our son going to school at Tennessee. We had a great stay on the houseboat. It is very closer to downtown and the university. We loved the 2 tiered deck. The boat was clean and very much met our needs for a weekend stay. The host was very nice and communicated well. We would stay again.
Phenomenal houseboat! Very well maintained, super clean, comfortable and peaceful. Beautiful views of the Tennessee River. The owners were awesome and the marina crew were spot on. Great area of Knoxville as well. So thankful for available bikes and water sport stuff too (paddle boards, kayak, etc). The walk to the boat was easy especially given it was a marina! I have walked further from my parking spot to hotels in downtown Knoxville. The Albatross gets an A in my book.
Very good communication w/ host --the boathouse was a unique & fun option. We enjoyed it & would stay again! parking is a little far especially w luggage. ants/insects were a concern that the host is working on.
We had a great time staying on the Albatross. It’s convenient to downtown and restaurants. An uber is a quick 5 min ride. The owner shares this: the walk to the boat is very very long with baggage. Park by the steakhouse. Use rolling carry on bags!The boat is older, but comfortable.
Had we known it was a 10-15 minute walk, one way to the boat, we would have looked elsewhere. It was very inconvenient to take a dog to a patch of grass. Other than that we were happy with how quiet it was.
Overall, it was clean. Door knobs, pretty dirty and doors. It was hard to heat with one little bitty space heater. Can’t run heater and lots or coffee maker at the same time. We had to hang a blanket just to stay warm in the bedroom.
Such a lovely stay!! There is a binder with complete instructions from the property, and check-in was smooth. The place was clean, relaxing and such a cool experience.Like the other reviews mentioned parking is about a 15 minute walk, so maybe pack a rolling bag.
Hosts were responsive and inviting. Luckily I read the reviews and brought a wagon to carry belongings from parking to the houseboat. It’s a haul. Kept my 12 year old twin granddaughters busy with hiking, biking, shopping, turtle hunting, dinner cruise, relaxing and of course a day at Dollywood (1 hour drive). Great walkable location. River is too dirty to swim in though. Had a great time.
