The neighborhood is one of the most coveted, old neighborhoods in Knoxville. A walk down Emoriland Blvd and Fairmont Blvd is always fun with the diverse, historic homes and sidewalks throughout. It's minutes away from Wild Love Bakehouse & KBrew! There is an amazing, a local grocery store called Three Rivers Market for any grocery runs you need to make close by. The neighborhood residents love the neighborhood and take great care of their property, making it a charming place to stay.

Home is around an 8-minute drive to UT campus and downtown Knox!

Convenient to I-640, I-75, and I-40.

Photos are deceiving

Upon arrival, we realized the house was run down. I know it was listed as 1940s, but in the photos, it looked super remodeled. On the outside, we immediately noticed a door to the basement that was easily accessible to the outside world. Upon entering, we saw how the pics online did not represent the home well at all. The 3rd bedroom was upstairs, with only a bed and a single piece of furniture in the entire upstairs. The carpeting going up the steps was very dirty, and extremely old. Then there was a basement, of which the door was unlocked and open access to the basement. The basement was like a dark old cellar. My kids found a moldy taco in the room where the gaming system was located. There were very limited plugs, and the plug in one bedroom almost caught fire. My husband noticed the smell, and at 2:00 in the morning, it woke him to realize it was the plug his phone charger was plugged into. So, therefore, we were afraid to continue using the plug in that room. There were no nightstands or lamps in the bedrooms. The lamps that were in the living room had no lightbulbs in the fixtures. So, they were useless. There were no window coverings on many of the outlying windows, which meant limited privacy to the outside world. We rewashed all the bath towels we used, because they all smelled like cigarette smoke. We are not smokers, so that was very noticeable to us. I will say the mattresses were comfortable. That was one plus. I would not recommend.

Great Stay

We stayed here while in town for a wedding, and it was an excellent choice—far better than staying in a hotel! Everything was exactly as described, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. The space was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, making it a perfect place for our family. We’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great stay in the area!

Very good place to stay. Clean and comfortable. I would suggest a lock on the basement stairway door since the basement is not used...because someone could fall down those stairs.

Short vacay

The house was exactly as described. Clean, spacious, and in a decent neighborhood. Only a 5 minute drive to Knoxville zoo which is why we chose this house. Several restaurant options within a few minutes of the house as well as DoorDash being available in the area. We have toddlers and the house was kid friendly and decently childproof.

Charm and character

The 1940's bungalow was very clean, nicely updated, and had lots of charm and character. The property owners were easy to communicate with and very courteous. The neighborhood felt safe and people were friendly when we were out for walks. My family and I were glad to have found this property to stay at so we could attend a wedding so far away from our state of Minnesota.

Super Cute Old Home

This was a perfect stay for my friends and I! We loved the authenticity of the home and the old vibes it gave. We had a little issue on check as our door code was changed prior to arrival but the app Dack came to the rescue allowing us to unlock the door whenever we needed. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Knoxville area!

Great stay near downtown

My friends and I had a great time visiting the city for the weekend and we were all impressed with the space that was included inside the house. A plus was the location of the house so close to the downtown scene. All the beds and pillows were very comfortable. I will look forward to booking again with this host in the future!

House is cute style, but dirty and not stocked, as described.

This house is not well cared for. The fixtures were clean, but the floors made our feet dirty, the stairs to upstairs were grimy, the corners at the floors are all dust filled and grimy, the dishes and kitchen utensils felt greasy. The back yard had been dug up and hay put over it, but it was very unlevel, so the kids couldn't enjoy the backyard. The kitchen is NOT fully stocked--only 4 coffee mugs and 5 glasses for a house that sleeps 9. The starter kit they promised was not provided. The beds were comfortable. The listing doesn't indicate that one of the bedrooms is upstairs. There is no drawer space in 2 of the 3 bedrooms. When we arrived, the air conditioner in upstairs had been leaking to the point that it came through the ceiling and wet the couch in the living room. We moved the couch, communicated with the management company that evening and all day the next day and on the third day and day if departure. We dried the water on the floor and put a pot under the air conditioner, keeping it emptied, to prevent further damage. They never offered and service recovery for our trouble. I don't recommend this Haven management company.

Quick trip to Knoxville

Took a quick family trip to Knoxville to visit the zoo. Wanted a place to stay with more room than a hotel. This place did comfortably sleep 4 adults and a child. It was clean-ish. Some things are just old and can tell cant really be super clean. Other things are just cleaned around. There was a coffee cup that still had coffee in it which got all over the coffee bag provided. I had dropped an earring in the bathroom and under the vanity were other people clothes and hair items. The location was about 3.5 miles to everything we wanted, but the neighborhood you can tell is trying to be on the up. Right now there are some rough houses very close by. I wouldnt say safe to walk anywhere because in-between the short drive to the house and downtown was a homeless shelter. All in all not the best location in my opinion. The host was nice and very responsive.

One issue is the thermostat for the upstairs is a little off. It takes quite a while for the upstairs to get cool, so I’d advise anyone who stays here to set it immediately when they arrive, otherwise it will be very late by the time it gets cool enough to sleep
