Sweet T's near UT, Great Smokey Mountains, Oak Ridge, or Norris Lake!

Located off the fast paced Knoxville life style yet 15 minutes from downtown Oak Ridge or your favorite UT venue and 40 minutes from our Great Smokey Mountains!! Half hour quick drive to Wind Rock too. You will not want to leave!
Great for business stays/solo travelers/families.
Your safety is important, the yard is fenced and secure and it is a no smoking property. The enclosed covered porch is cozy and complete with a swing, glider and ambiance that includes string lighting & throws.
Your well behaved, potty trained fur baby of 40 pounds or less is welcome (with a pet fee of course).
We added a mini fort, complete with a sand box, slide and toddler size rock wall! (PLEASE remember children must be accompanied by an adult as we assume no responsibility for accidents).
The kitchen has full size Fridge/Freezer with ice maker, Dish washer, Stove top with Oven, Microwave, Toaster, Plates, Bowls, everything you need to create a dinner worthy of your family.
From the coffee bar to the adjoining rooms to the comfy beds, you will love the easy flow and relaxing atmosphere enough to make memories that will last a lifetime!

Wonderful cozy home in the “country” with quick and easy access to Knoxville.

Regatta success

I took some teenagers to row in a youth regatta, and this was the perfect spot for us to crash after long days at the lake. The house is small, but the space is used well and is immaculately clean. We had everything we needed for our weekend stay, and the location was very convenient for our event at Melton Lake. We would definitely stay here again!

Four day stay with puppies

Great place for short term. The yard with the secure fence was a great benefit for our two puppies. The bed was soft and cozy and clean bathroom. Only issues were rules listed in the on-site house guide that were not in the original description such as crating the dogs when you leave. Overall, great soft term stay and ideal location..

Perfect Pet-Friendly Getaway

This was the coziest and most welcoming vacation thanks to Sue. There were so many charming details throughout that I gathered some home decor inspiration. Every random household need was easily filled with the prepped kitchen. Sue was pleasant to communicate with and I won’t hesitate to book again. Sweet T’s was a cozy dream. Thank you, Sue!

Perfect place for moving our daughter into college!!

This rental was absolutely PERFECT for our needs. We moved our oldest daughter into college for her freshman year and Sweet T’s was just the perfect place to stay to do that! We were only 10-15 minutes (depending on traffic) minutes away from Crown Bible College which was amazing to be able to take breaks during the busy weekend and run back “home”. The accommodations were wonderful! Everything at bed the listing description and the pictures! The sweet little coffee bar was a hit with our family!! Well stocked rental with bed linens, towels, and even cookware!! Beds were comfortable, water pressure in the shower was wonderful, and the fenced in yard was perfect for our pup! Miss Sue was always very quick to respond to any questions! We will be back for visits with our daughter over the next few years and we will for sure be staying at Sweet T’s again!!
