Garden Oasis

Got to spend two quick nights here during a jam packed weekend of UT football and sorority family weekend. Will definitely stay here again. Lovely property that is both a quick drive from campus and a little garden sanctuary all wrapped up in one quaint package. Has everything you will need along with a gracious host.

This is one of the best, if not the best, VRBOs I have ever stayed in. Lovely home full of whimsical decor and tons of conveniences (kitchen supplies, food stuffs, bathroom supplies, etc). I stayed in the little closet and absolutely delighted in my fairy tale hideaway despite being a grown woman in my 40s. The neighborhood across the way was great for walking in the evening. I fully intend to stay here again when back in Knoxville. Thank you!!!

The property was great. Anything you could possibly need was available. Thankful for the sound machine and extra charging ports. The only down for me was the pillows. They were either hard memory foam or some shells and were very uncomfortable.

Go Vols weekend!

Came to visit our son at UTK for his parent weekend! Booked this awesome place just 10-15 min from campus and had the best of both worlds! The chaos and bustle of campus during a big rivalry game weekend, and a sweet retreat at the end of each day!

Fun, cozy and comfortable

We had a wonderful time in Knoxville We had a wonderful time in Knoxville! Since we were staying 3 nights we wanted something homier than a hotel. This was a great place. It had everything we needed and was close (15 minute drive) to the UT stadium where we saw a football game. Victoria is a fun and knowledgeable host. We were only a short drive from Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains.

I was looking for a centrally located place between the airport and the University, as well as something that was quiet and peaceful; Victoria's place checked all the boxes.I didn't get a chance to enjoy the outside of the property but it looked wonderful. Inside, there is everything you need and more! Most importantly, the bed was very comfortable. Victoria had great communication starting from the time of booking and even when an issue arose, she was very personable. You can tell she cares about her property and you will not regret staying here.

What a delightful property and host

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful and eclectic property. Easy drive to the airport and close to anywhere you want to go. We received a lovely note and small things to make our trip more like home. Victoria Kay was so helpful and full of information even before we arrived for our stay. Throughout our stay we could rely on her for anything we had questions about. Such a delight and the place is lovely! We will definitely try to stay again when in town. I highly recommend for anyone passing through Knoxville!

Joseph, I am so glad our paths crossed. I wish you all the very best. Guests like you all are so conscientious and kind. My next guest from Budapest said thank you for the beverages you left in fridge. Kindness makes the world a better place to live - and it starts with us. Thank you for understanding that and living that way yourselves. Hope to host you again if you are in the area. Best wishes always.
