About this apartment rental
Stay in this luxury, downtown penthouse and step into historic charm & sophisticated elegance. Enjoy sweeping urban views of downtown Knoxville & the rolling Smoky Mountains in the distance while relaxing on your own private rooftop deck. The built-in outdoor firepit on the rooftop deck is the a perfect place to gather year round with family and friends to experience a once in a lifetime stay in the city!
Experience the grandeur of city life from the moment you step into the home. A short climb from the entrance door will reward you with access to the main living area, where you'll have access to your own gourmet chef's kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, (Thermador, Bosch & GE), custom tile, fine lighting, counter seating, and a dining area with enough room for the whole family. The main living room, showcasing 30 ft vaulted ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, exposed brick, and hardwood floors, is the perfect place to enjoy a quiet night in people watching or get ready for a night out on the town!
Enjoy your morning cup of coffee surrounded by trees in the quiet retreat of your private balcony, conveniently located off main level master bedroom suite. Get ready for the day in your master bath retreat, complete with double vanity, oversized soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Catch some shuteye in the luxury Sleep Number bed in your master suite. A climb up the stairs will bring you to the second story of the home, featuring its own master bedroom/office/family room and private full bath. Floor to ceiling windows allow plenty of natural light in the great room and kitchen.
The second story invites you to bring the party outside with private access to the stunning rooftop deck. Featuring a built-in propane firepit, dining area, and plenty of seating, this penthouse deck is a can't miss area of the home. The best spot to enjoy time with friends and family, it is also the best place to watch Knoxville's parades, festivals, and year round events with unparalleled views of Knoxville's historic skyline and the Smoky Mountains.
You are just steps away from your next adventure. No need to hop in the car, just walk out your front door! The Downtown food scene is amazing! Downtown is filled with a diverse community of people. Small and large families, young professionals, empty nesters, and students all call downtown Knoxville home. We always say downtown Knoxville offers all the best parts of city life with all the charm of a small town. Take a walk down by the Tennessee River followed by a latte at Coffee & Chocolate. Catch a show at the historic Tennessee Theatre, the official state theatre of the state, or see a concert at the ever popular Bijou Theater. Walk to the Farmers Market on a beautiful Saturday morning and enjoy live music on Market Square on a week night. And don't forget the many festivals hosted right in your backyard! Every day downtown is an opportunity for a new adventure and there's always surprise around every corner. The convenience of living downtown is second to none. Restaurants, bars, boutiques, salons, entertainment - and ice cream! The Pet Safe Dog Park is located just down the street. When you're here, you're at the center of the perfect blend of the past and the future.

We came to Knoxville for the Zach Bryan concert and stayed in this Penthouse. It is absolutely beautiful and located right in the heart of downtown Knoxville. We will definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved this VRBO. The location along with the condo were fantastic. Had all the amenities you need for your stay. Restaurants, bars, were all within walking distance. We will definitely be booking this place again. Thank you!

My wife and I came in for a 30 year reunion. We had some friends stay with us. The place itself is gorgeous, the rooftop fire pit, the views, the interior is so nice. Very luxurious, but not unapproachable. Great location, I would definitely stay at this place again and recommend it. 10/10.
Communication was prompt, easy, responsive. At one point dropped off an extra propane tank for the fire pit, which we didn’t request, but which was nonetheless appreciated and used. Very attentive, and wanted us to have a great time which we did.
Thank you again!

Amazing oversized condo with tons of living space, and a large outdoor patio space with fire pit. Magnificently decorated with all the creature comforts required, and in a prime location close to bars, restaurants, and easy access to highway. Highly recommend and will definitely book again if ever in the Knoxville area again!

My oldest daughter who’s getting married in February was able to gather with her closest friends at this fabulous downtown space. I can’t say enough about how perfect it was! First, it is even more spacious than the pictures can show and is so unique! The decor is beautiful and was even decorated for Christmas. A nice added touch. :) The space was perfect for 8 girls with plenty of room to hang out. It was quiet and so close to all the activities they had planned that they were able to walk to everything. Dinners at Babalus and The Vault, bowling at Maple Hall, and walking to the shops nearby. The kitchen was well equipped with everything they needed. Their coffee maker could make a pot or use K-cups which was great! There were plenty of blankets around and the sofas and beds were comfy! Check in and out was simple and communication was quick and informative. It’s a special place for sure and I’d highly recommend it!
