Great place close to UT off campus housing ! Perfect place to land after a long drive, yet close enough to pick up keys, check out the new digs and move in the simple things. Even took a stroll around the little park across the street.

What a charming house and location. It is right across from a river front park; so beautiful! Also very convenient to downtown and all things UT. Has a fire pit we don’t get to use but also great to have. Well furnished. Would have loved to stay longer!

Lodging for an event at the Knoxville Civic Auditorium

A great little house furnished with all the necessities. Close to the University in a quite neighborhood with a park across the street. The fire pit was great for a relaxing night with good family time and conversation. I would definitely stay here again.

Just Right

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was as pictured and the home was very clean (I have high standards!). The owner was wonderful. My only hiccup was the map on the listing makes it seem like the home is on the side of the river nearest Lindsey Nelson Stadium. It is not. It is on the east side of the river so you have to go north and over the Henley St bridge everytime you head downtown. Something to keep in mind. It's not super inconvenient. Just something we didn't realize.

Gem on the river

Came to Knoxville with my husband and our prospective UT student/ daughter. The little house is across the river from downtown Knoxville, 5 minute drive. The campus and the fun restaurants and entertainment area, Market St, etc. is conveniently close. The house is across this quiet little street from a cute lil’ park right on the river. Fantastic sunsets from the park across the river. The back yard is cute with its fire pit sitting area. There is a rail road track nearby, but we only heard the train a couple of times, no big deal. The home is adorably updated and very comfortable for a small group. The Keurig didn’t work our first morning, but Trinh took care of it while we were enjoying the town-wonderful! The Present is a great little property to stay in when visiting Knoxville.

Truly felt at home

This stay restored my faith in VRBO rentals. Trinh has thought of every detail! It felt like staying at a friend's home. The home was spotless! We used the pull out sofa and there weren't even any dust bunnies hiding there. The beds were comfortable, showers lovely, and the decor was calming. My three sons, my mother, and I stayed and it felt comfortable enough for us. The pictures don't do this sweet place justice. We enjoyed playing in the park across the street and watching the beautiful sunsets. The boys enjoyed seeing the trains go by. The neighborhood was very quiet. I was attending an orientation at UTK and the drive to campus was less than 10 minutes. I cannot recommend this highly enough! We will stay again. Trinh should give training sessions on how to be a terrific host!!!!! Stop searching and book this!
