What an awesome experience! The property was as described, very clean and welcoming! Relaxing spots on the upper deck to enjoy the sunset and a great spot on the smaller deck for our morning coffee. The hosts were quick to respond and easy to communicate with. We were sad when it was time for us to leave. Thank you for such a fabulous stay!

The house boat was perfect for our family of five. Great location! Plenty of space to hang out and have fun or work remotely (with a perfect WiFi signal!). Plan on using the golf cart. It makes everything so easy.

We came to Knoxville for a junior golf camp and campus visit. Such a unique experience! It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The Greenway-River walk is right off the dock and you can get to campus or downtown walking very easily, we walked to campus twice and downtown one night. We highly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone visiting Knoxville.

This was the best trip that we have been on. Our first on a houseboat and we are counting down the days until next year when we can book it again. You are close to everything but you wouldn’t know it with how peaceful it is on this beautiful houseboat! We enjoyed the top of the boat on a beautiful sunny day and the beds slept amazing! The boats were phenomenal and very responsive.

We had a group of moms and daughters stay for a volleyball tournament at the convention center. Perfect location, and the houseboat was great for the girls to hang out and relax in downtime!

We had a great time on the houseboat! We were in town for a concert with our daughters. The girls had a great time hanging up top watching the sunset/sunrise. The boat was clean, well stocked with plenty of dishes and towels. The golf cart and dock cart were a great help while loading and unloading. I loved the safety with the gate on the dock. We would stay again!

Amazing Listing!

The houseboat was super clean and updated. Communication with the owners was easy and efficient. Very safe and secure location close to UT. The gated entrance was comforting to us as well. We will stay her EVERY time we come to Knoxville!

Vol Landing/Vol Navy is the best place for game day, and Big Orange is a GREAT choice. The boat was clean and spacious, ready for check-in, and the hosts were communicative. The parking passes provided were very useful as some friends drove in from Nashville, and it was simple to get everyone in and out.5 stars. Go Vols!

We had 6 adults here for a family event. The location was serene with beautiful sunsets. It was not a UT game weekend, so it was quiet.Beds were very comfortable, but don't expect hotel convenience. It's a boat. So the bedrooms are small, some with limited overhead room. But it worked for us.The common areas were spacious, perfect for hanging out. Its was a great choice for a special family event. The owners were helpful with good communication. Having the golf cart made getting groceries and getting to the car easy.And you can walk to Ruth Chris's for happy hour.
