We had a wonderful stay at this lovely home in Knoxville. The house worked for our group really well. The property was perfect for nature lovers. We were visiting family in the area and would definitely rent this home again.

We had an amazing time. The property was better than described even! The house was beautiful, the outdoor area was great for sitting out and enjoying a glass of wine and catching up while the kids played nearby. We spotted deer several times. Beds and couches were super comfy and the house was well stocked! We’d love to say again and stir my recommend!

We spent the weekend in this Knoxville home with higher hopes than what turned out to be reality. We were drawn by the listing which shows a beautifully manicured backyard to relax and enjoy the 22 acres of land. When we arrived the backyard patio was full of weeds and rusted furniture not very inviting and dangerous to sit on. We ended up spending time on the front patio area instead. There were several instances where things either didn’t work properly or we couldn’t find remotes easily to turn fans and lights on. The property manager did address the issues and tried his best to guide us through to settle into the home. A lot of rooms were off limits in a strange way as if someone lives there full tine, but blocks off access when renters are there. You can see through rooms, but they were locked. All in all we made the most of the weekend, but the listing photos didn’t really match the actual home.
Hi Kaeli, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
-The A/C issue you mentioned was addressed promptly during your stay, and we're glad the property manager was able to assist with that.
-The backyard furniture is regularly maintained, and while the picnic table may show some age, the rest of the furniture is in great condition.
-The rooms that were off-limits are used for storage to keep the home organized and clutter-free for guests. We understand how this might have felt unusual and will make this clearer in the listing description.
We appreciate your feedback and are glad you were able to enjoy some aspects of your stay. Thanks for taking the time to leave your review!
What a seamless and relaxing stay. Check in was easy, place was clean and spacious. Property was beautiful and full of wildlife. Great location. BBQ food a mile away.

The pictures don’t do this lovely home justice. After driving up from Louisiana with 3 kids (2 of which are 3yr old boys) this home was a warm and welcome retreat. We loved watching the deer in the mornings and catching fireflies at night. The home was perfectly spacious for all of us. Everything we needed was there. We will be back next summer!
