About this property
Charming houseboat with 2+ bedrooms, awesome riverfront location in Knoxville
Get ready to relax in this marvelous 2+bedroom houseboat in Knoxville. This floating oasis features 1 queen bed and 2 twin beds, a cozy living room with an additional full bed, and a bathroom with a shower. Stay comfortable with heating, WiFi and A/C. Enjoy a home away from home on the beautiful Tennessee river close to downtown Knoxville and walking distance to restaurants and the beautiful University of Tennessee campus. Our place will help you feel at home while you're traveling in Knoxville with grill, golf cart and 2 new kayaks.
*Please note the following:*
Swimming is not permitted within 100 yards of the marina per state law. This accommodation may not be suitable for young children due to the proximity of water. Boat cannot be removed from the slip and must stay attached to the dock.
Other Items of Interest:
A golf cart is provided for transport of luggage and guests and can be used to visit nearby restaurants.
**Tennessee Vols home football game weekends require a two night minimum stay**
Loud parties and loud/obnoxious behaviors are not allowed and strictly enforced by the marina.
Please note that UTopia is a small boat, much like a one bedroom apartment with a loft. The boat is perfect for two people with a queen size bed in the main birth, a galley (kitchen) that is fully equipped, a bath with full size shower and a salon (living room) with a sectional that can be put together to make a double bed. In the lower berth there are two twin mattresses. While there can be sleeping accommodations for six people, two will be quite comfortable, four will be okay for close friends or family, and six will be very cozy for VERY close friends or family. Each sleeping area has a flat screen TV.
There are also three outdoor areas to enjoy the beautiful views of the Tennessee River and Knoxville's beautiful bridges. The forward deck can accommodate 6 for outdoor dining and the aft deck has a seating area for two. The upper deck has seating for six and a 50 in flat screen TV to enjoy.
Owner will need to meet you prior to check-in in Marina parking to hand over the keys and ensure you find the proper boat.
