About the host
Hosted by Penny Cleck
Hi! I live in Pennsylvania but spend time in Knoxville because my family and I are big race fans. I’ve been happily married to my husband Mike for 31 years, and we have two wonderful children. I enjoy decorating, crafting, shelling, and making memories with family and friends. Hosting gives me the chance to share the places and experiences we love with others — especially during race season
Why they chose this property
We absolutely love Knoxville and the people who call it home—especially our race friends, who feel like family. The Midwest is such a beautiful place, and Knoxville has so much to offer. We enjoy visiting nearby Pella and spending time at Red Rock Lake whenever we can. If we had it our way, we’d spend even more time here. Knoxville holds a special place in our hearts!
What makes this property unique
Our home is a race fan’s dream—just a short walk to Knoxville Raceway! It’s cozy, group-friendly, and great for relaxing after a day at the track or lake. With flexible sleeping space, a fire pit, and local charm, it’s the perfect base for your Knoxville adventure.
