So the huge pros are that the house style is VERY nice and welcoming. The beds were REALLY comfortable which is rare to find! And of course being able to meet up with family in the city only 10-12 min. away very easily was a HUGE plus. The biggest downfall we found was that while the house appeared clean at first, we quickly found that it was actually VERY dirty/dusty in that we actually had to sweep and vacuum - esp. The rug. All plants in the house were covered in dust. The vents in bathrooms and living room are quite filthy which you may want to address. The whole place really needed a good mopping. I believe someone actually did mention this before in a review saying that it was surface clean but not deep cleaned. I did bring all this (the dust, vents, etc) to the owners attention. Esp. if they are paying a cleaning company who is not doing their job! Re: thermostat- when the air is on, the basement literally becomes freezing cold unless you turn heat on... which is a shame because the basement is HUGE and really awesome with games & tv is but we sadly did not spend much time down there due to the cold and not wanting to make the house hot with heat. Also be aware that the thermostat seems to default to different settings I'm guessing at different times of the day? During the night it would often get really hot. I kept thinking my husband was turning if off really early in the morning because it was too cold since he is up by 430 but found out the day before leaving that he hadn't been doing that so it wasn't necessary to then ask the owner about it. From the standpoint of suggestions after being a family of five staying there I would say that having a larger table would be VERY beneficial. Grabbed one of the living room chairs to pull up to the table for three of us and set up two of us at the bar table. (in the pics it shows 3 bar table seats but it is now only 2) It was a little tricky to additionally have our daughter and son in law over for dinner though we made it work. A larger trash can would be a great idea too! Other things to be aware of for the kitchen are that there is no toaster and we noticed the Teflon pots and pans are peeling pretty bad. We always bring our own large skillet to cook in and a good kitchen knife since we always find vacation house to be lacking lol Overall though, a pretty good stay and I just like to make sure families esp. are aware of the details I would've wanted to know when deciding on a house!

The house was perfect! We were there for a basketball game, very convenient to colosseum! My kids LOVED the downstairs play area! We will definitely stay here again!

Great experience

Great space, great yard, great location! It was surface clean but not detail/deep clean.

The location was good but the property lacked some details. There was NO TV on the main floor…only one in the basement which had no directions & we NEVER figured out how to use it. The exterior & landscape is not up to standards - the yard needed mowed & it just left a lot to be desired. The curtain shower in the main bath was molded on the inside, there was NO TOILET PAPER in the main bath & NO TOWELS!!! I had to go hunting throughout the house for both. I do not plan to rent this property again.

This was the first time using VRBO and I didn't know how to get the address and code for the property. Overall the place was okay to stay at. I loved how the house had been updated; however some of the fixtures were not attached well. But it served our purposes

Four sisters met to do a holiday exchange. The house is surrounded three side by bamboo. It was Zen to look out the window. Close to town.

Overall the property was very clean. New appliances and everything was functional. I have provided the property manager with some specific recommendations as I believe the renovation is fairly new. PROs: Close to UT/Knoxville downtown; Close to the iJams trails which were quite nice; quite street without a lot of traffic CONs: property was newly renovated and lacked a few features such as a sink on the basement/first level; folding table in laundry room; dining room table or even folding table for more than 2 or 3 to eat. That said, I would recommend the property as I felt it was represented accurately and was well maintained.

This house was very nice and clean. They had everything that you would need there for you including toiletries. The owner was flexible on check in and check out and the responses were quick!

Very nice home in South Knoxville. Nice quiet street, very close (by foot) to Ijams trails, yet under 15 minutes to downtown Knoxville.

For what I payed for I was not expecting to stay with mold in shower The air vents are rusted Grout is out of tile floor someone could get cut I only stayed Friday night The beds are as hard as rocks very stiff Thanks for the stay but I stayed in hotel sat night A lot nicer cheaper also To much money for what we stayed in

The interior of the house was super cute. The home was comfortable and well decorated. The kids loved the finished basement. Plenty of room to play, ping pong and game tables, big TV, super comfy couch beds. A TV on the main level would have been nice. Check in was tough as the door code wasn't working but we were able to contact the property manager and they fixed it. There's a first about a quarter of a mile up the road with a bunch of beautiful trails to hike! That was a pleasant surprise.

The house is beautiful, very clean and very spacious. We spent a lot of time downstairs, watching sports, playing ping pong and table foosball. We loved the proximity to bike trails, downtown and restaurants. Anything that needed to be communicated with owner/company went very smoothly and fast. If anything the only downfall is the limited seating space for eating as there is no dining table but only the barstools at the island. Fingerfood was the Choice. All in all, a wonderful family getaway.

Excellent

This property is too small for large groups. It could improve with patio furniture to sit outside and a better equipped kitchen.

This lovely property is exactly as pictured. Inside, it "feels" more remote than it actually is; it's a short drive to the UT sports facilities/downtown, SoKno, etc. Owner is extremely responsive -- A+++! Every square inch is clean, clean, clean. Beds are comfy. Kitchen has everything you'd need. Lower level "rec room" is a great set-up for kids/teens/adults to enjoy big screen TV, ping-pong, foosball! We will absolutely stay here again.

It was an easy process. Great experience. Host had wonderful communication. Highly enjoyed our stay here.

Very quiet, clean neighborhood home down the street from Ijams Nature Center hiking trails. Short drive to downtown. About an hour from Gatlinburg entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Located in a modest residential neighborhood, and 12 minutes from downtown, this is a good choice if you want to walk out the front door to the excellent trail system a short stroll away - but still have easy access to Knoxville. We did a modest 5 mile hike to the quarry lake, but we could have easily walked one mile or 15 miles with ease. Mountain bike heaven. Lots of barking dogs in the densely packed area, but they were all restrained and quieted down by bedtime. Mario was a good host. Enjoyed our stay. The strength of this rental is close proximity of the park and trail system.

This place was awesome and super clean! The host was very helpful and always responded quickly to our needs. We would definitely stay here again!
