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.

Very enjoyable

We very much enjoyed our stay here. The only thing we didn’t care for were the lack of towels. They seemed to be more like throw blankets than towels and no absorption. I would definitely tag here again and bring my own towels.

Hillside Haven

Hillside Haven is a cozy cottage tucked into the property's back lot. It's a very cute cottage, updated nicely and is very clean. Full kitchen with nice pots and pans and kitchen supplies. The beds are comfortable and closets spacious. If you are looking for a quiet, wooded get away and to still be close to anything you need, this is the place! The owner, Kathy, is gracious and very attentive to communication. Outstanding value !

Great place!

This house was so warm and welcoming. It had everything we needed. Those beds were so comfortable and much needed after long days of training for our young dancers. The owner was super communicative and responded to all requests quickly. I have one complaint- the ad said it was under 10 minutes to the venue but it was a solid 15 -- I know it's nit picky but 5 minutes in the morning is much needed when wrangling a couple of teens in the early morning. I loved the quiet, serene mornings on the deck with a cup of coffee. The rain shower was a bonus and the fully equipped kitchen made prepping meals so easy.

Just what we needed

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.
