Walnut Grove was wonderful - warm, inviting, beautifully decorated, and spotless.Ms. Jackie was such a gracious host. When I ran into issues with the reservation system, she personally went in and corrected the details to make sure everything matched what I was seeing.We arrived very late, and she had the doors unlocked with snacks and dog treats waiting for us - a thoughtful touch that meant so much after a long day of travel.It’s clear she truly enjoys hosting and goes above and beyond to make her guests feel welcome.If you’re ever in the Knoxville area, I highly recommend Walnut Grove. Thank you, Ms. Jackie!

We had another GREAT stay at the Walnut Grove Guest House. My wife & I enjoy staying here because we can bring our dog along, stay at a place that is quiet and we only have to drive about 15 minutes to our son's apartment near the Univ. of Tennessee campus. The house has everything we need. The kitchen if fully stocked. Jaclyn, the hostess, leaves snacks for us and our dog when we stay. The fenced yard is excellent for letting the dog outside to roam around. When we are there we feel welcome and we feel like we are in a neighborhood in the hills. Within minutes of the house you have everything you need: gas, restaurants, etc... Jaclyn knew we were coming into town to catch a Vols football game and made sure to have Vols decorations on the front porch for us. We thought that was a very nice touch. We will continue to stay at this house as long as our son lives in the area.

Quaint Cottage and Quiet Neighborhood

This property met our needs during our stay. The neighborhood was nice and felt safe. For what the cottage may lack (only the accessibility of the bathroom comes to mind), is made up by it's cleanliness, cute decor and attention to details to make your stay comfortable. The fenced yard for the dogs was a huge plus. The property owner, Jaclyn, is lovely and very welcoming. It's clear she cares that guests are comfortable in her cottage.

Great Stay and Beautiful Property

Jaclyn's property is an absolute gem. From the moment we stepped inside, it was evident that every detail was meticulously planned to create a warm and inviting atmosphere that truly felt like home. The breathtaking mountain view only added to the enchantment of the place, providing a serene backdrop to our stay. One of the standout aspects of our experience was the impeccable cleanliness of the property. It was clear that Jaclyn goes above and beyond to maintain a spotless environment, ensuring that guests feel comfortable and cared for throughout their stay. Her dedication to cleanliness truly sets this property apart. We were so impressed with our time here that we wouldn't hesitate to book again if we find ourselves in the area. Jaclyn's property offers not only a beautiful setting but also a level of hospitality and attention to detail that is truly commendable. It's a rare find, and we feel fortunate to have experienced it firsthand.

Excellent Guest House and Property

My wife & I stayed at this house for a long Easter weekend while visiting our son at the University of Tennessee. We were 20 minutes from his apartment near campus and the drive to and from this house to campus was simple. The house was perfect for us and our dog. The kitchen has everything one would need. The property is great for walking our dog and sitting outside in the yard enjoying the views. Jaclyn could not have been easier with which to work. We plan to be back!

Wonderful

This Mountain Cottage is absolutely beautiful. Communication was outstanding, the place is spotlessly clean, the kitchen is incredibly well appointed with some seriously high quality tools, the furniture is also high quality and beautiful. The bed last night was incredibly comfortable! This is an absolute 10 out of 10. Also, the views are *stunning* and the little fenced-in yard is adorable. Honestly, I'm absolutely amazed and delighted and we will definitely be back to this place

Charming and peaceful

My husband, our mini-schnauzer and I stayed at this lovely little cottage in early April. It is spotlessly clean, and well stocked, including with treats for our pup! Jackie is a wonderful host. The views from the cottage are beautiful. The bathroom is small, but Jackie has maximized the space and it wasn't a problem for us. The kitchen is well stocked and as we prefer to cook when we travel, we found everything we needed to prepare our meals. Overall, I would highly recommend, and we definitely plan to return.
