About this docked boat rental
This 1984 50’ Jamestowner has undergone a complete renovation! You’ll enjoy the rustic beams on the ceiling while enjoying new furniture, all new appliances, new kitchen & comfortable bedding.
I fell in love with this boat when first I saw it and knew with a little love and TLC it could be restored to new life! I know you will have fond memories of this very unique stay in beautiful East Tennessee! The boat is located at Volunteer Landing Marina. Downtown Knoxville and the beautiful Volunteer Landing are a short walk away.
Please note that the boat must stay at the marina and attached to the slip. I will provide a golf cart for your use during your stay for transporting your belongings. It is shared between my other houseboat rentals. Please be considerate and not keep it out for extended periods of time and do not leave it in the parking lot. I will meet you for check-in and go over basic systems of the boat and will leave you to your privacy, but I'm only a text or call away in case you need anything.
***Swimming is not permitted from the boat or within 100 yards of the marina per TN State law.
***This may not be suitable for young children due to proximity of water.
Responsible pet owners are are welcome to bring pets but only with prior approval and fee applies based on type of pet(s) and length of stay. Pets are permitted only with prior approval and a fee applies which may vary but is typically $15/pet per day depending on size/breed and length of stay. They must be under a flea control regimen, not permitted on furniture/bedding, and not left while owners are out unless crated and non barking. Thank you for your cooperation so the accommodation is pleasant for future guests and those in boats nearby.
***Tennessee Volunteers home football gameday weekends require a 3 night minimum stay***
**Absolutely NO parties or loud outdoor music is permitted and additional visitors must get host approval to maintain the security of the marina. Quiet hours are 10pm-7am. I take the marina requirements very seriously and guests may be asked to vacate with no refund if I receive a complaint. It is a family oriented facility and being able to rent my houseboat here is a privilege. Thank you for making it a pleasant location for all marina patrons!

I shared this property with my daughter and two grandchildren. We all loved it. It’s location to downtown is amazing. Angie, the property manager, was the best I’ve ever experienced. Very very clean and well stocked. Highly recommend this boat.

We really enjoyed our time on the houseboat and it was such a fun adventure for the kids! Angie was so friendly and communicative, and the space was clean and well thought out. It was a unique stay, and we appreciated the close proximity to downtown and the trolley. Thanks, Angie!

You won’t be lacking anything here!
There are 3 boats side by side. This one is an older boat but very well remodeled. A queen bed and bunk beds to sleep. It has a full “Gally” but more like a residential kitchen than what is normally on a boat. Very Clean!! Nice Hot shower with water pressure like at home. It is a typical Marina. Obviously on the river. It’s a short walk from parking lot. Don’t take your bags because there is a golf cart to go back and bring your bags right to the boat. Same when leaving. It is Very quiet and peaceful with great view! This is set up better than I expected with full city water full electric service. And heat and air that works so well you gotta be careful not to leave it too low when you get back you’ll want heat! Which brought it back up in 3 minutes so no worries in the winter. If you enjoy your peace like we do it’s way better than a motel for same money. There is a Ruth Chris a few feet one way and Calhoun’s just a short walk which is a local favorite both have river views. You can Uber down town in 5 minutes or walk in about 20 minutes. If you’re thinking about it just do it! Owner is very available if you need anything. And it really shows she cares about your experience staying.

Came for concert and went to Ruth Chris to eat. So peaceful ! Fed geese and lived the cute boat. Trust me this houseboat is perfect. Got to meet owner in person ever day. Loved it and she is so great. Hugged her and left food for my goose when we left. Will be back for sure. You are great.

We had a fantastic stay on the houseboat. Angie thought of everything that we could possibly need and was the most gracious host. We had plenty of indoor space, but the outdoor space was my favorite. Every morning I enjoyed my coffee up top overlooking the river. We had hoped to take the kayaks out but ran out of time during our busy visit. Next time! We will definitely be back.

Angie was a wonderful host! She creates a place for the perfect stay. Everything about this houseboat was luxurious! Comfy beds and furniture. All the linens were high quality. The decor and finishes in the houseboat were stunning. Many different choices for outdoor seating with views. We utilized the provided golf cart for our stuff, kayaks and bikes. Angie has thought of every little detail for your stay. This houseboat is minutes from UT campus. We walked both days to Market Square for meals and drinks. We took a five minute walk and toured James White Fort. Ruth Chris, Calhouns and a Greenway are just steps away from the boat. Everyone at this dock was super friendly. We look forward to our future stays!

We loved our 1st stay on a houseboat as a family. There were 3 in our group and our boat was very comfortable. Good beds and the A/C kept things cool. Close to downtown and restaurants. Angie is an impeccable hostess! We really enjoyed that her 3 rental boats are together and created a social environment where we met and talked with our boat neighbors which is a unique experience in this day and age.

Angie was the hostess with the mostest 😊 In fact, she is the best host we have ever had at a short term rental. It was our first time ever staying on a houseboat and her place exceeded our expectations. All three of her boats are exceptionally well done. It was a home away from home with an awesome Waterview. The location was convenient to market Square and downtown. We enjoyed riding the bikes on the Greenway and kayaking up and down the river. The mornings were perfect on the rooftop with coffee, a book and a view. We will definitely be back and bring friends with us.

Such a cute little place :) There were just 2 of us friends and we loved our stay. Anyone over 6ft might need to be careful they don't hit their head walking around (but that was not a problem for us!)
Angie was communicable, but just the right amount :) Would definitely stay again.

This was our first time to stay on a houseboat and I want to do it again and again! We stayed 3 nights and this place cannot be beat. We enjoyed the front and back decks to enjoy coffee and to end the day enjoying the views. I was so surprised how quiet it was! So close to downtown but no noise! We enjoyed walking to dinners at Calhoun and Ruth’s Chris and Namas downtown. Angie is the best host as she made sure we had everything we needed. She picked us up at our vehicle and brought our luggage to the boat. Then we were able to use the golf cart to pack up. The bed was super comfortable and the boat was super clean. Loved the coffee maker as it brews kerig and/or regular brew.
Would love to come back and stay right here!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The boat is conveniently located to access to all places we were interested in during our 2 day stay. The only down side was the size of the bed. (We’re used to a king sized.) Because it’s a smaller boat, a larger bed size would not be possible. My husband is now ready to live on a houseboat!!

Wonderful option for your visit!
Angie is a wonderful host and the houseboat is just as described. We were in town for a family wedding and this was a perfect option for our stay. She has used the space wisely and we had plenty of room. We took advantage of the kayaks, enjoyed a little fishing, and took the free trolley to the farmers market.
Angie was quick to respond with any questions and was a pleasure to talk to. Highly recommend booking one of her boats...you won't be disappointed!

Wish we could have stayed longer!!!
We came to Knoxville for a graduation and all the festivities that go with it! Our last night was the most peaceful evening, just hanging around and enjoying each other. I would have loved a few more days to relax, read and chill! It's the perfect location for that! Kayaking, biking, walking and running are all convenient to the marina. I'm looking forward to getting back to relax and explore more!
Everyone else has mentioned Angie's amazing support. She is wonderful on so many levels - we can't thank her enough for making our visit so amazing!

Everything exceeded our expectations
Angie met us at our car and took us straight to the boat. She explained all the workings of the boat, the golf cart, and the kayaks and bikes for use. Location is superb for downtown Knoxville events, everything within walking distance or accessible to free buses. She checked on us via text during our stay to ensure all was well. Location was quiet and peaceful despite being in the city. I can’t recommend this stay enough! Great place, great hostess. You won’t regret it.

Urban paradise
If you want to be downtown near the activities Knoxville has to offer but don't want your typical urban hotel then this maybe your answer. The only thing that may annoy you is the bathroom. There is a head for the toilet and the shower is a bit tight but you get use to it. But hey, you're just staying there you are not living there. It's different, convenient and very clean. Highly recommend.

Perfect Getaway on the River
We came down to Knoxville to visit our daughter at the University and spend a long weekend. This was the best stay!!! Angie was the perfect host, greeting us at checkin and walking us through the boat. She also had some great recommendations for eats and getting Around. When we walked in the boat, we were so thrilled. The space is super clean, you can tell Angie pays attention to detail and making her guests feel welcome. The newly remodeled interior was cozy and fabulous. She had all the necessities in the kitchen we needed and some nice complimentary snacks. The beds were clean and cozy. Waking up to the river out of the master room was a complete joy. The upstairs rooftop is a huge wonderful space in and of itself. We grilled and cooked a lot on the boat, everything was great. The location is awesome! Quiet when you want and just a few blocks from all the action. We even walked to the game at the stadium and back. Ruth’s Chris steakhouse was right next to marina and a perfect date night. Will definitely stay again and again! Thank you Angie!

Hands down, the best overall VRBO we have stayed in!
Angie has the touch for decorating and being a wonderful host. From the complimentary snacks and water to the nice towels and bed linens; this houseboat was clean and well appointed. The golf cart was a lifesaver! Angie was responsive to our questions and helped with anything we needed! We look forward to visiting again.
