Kim was incredibly friendly, welcoming, helpful and accommodating. The place was immaculate and offer everything we needed close to downtown. I’d definitely recommend a stay on this houseboat on the TN river!
We had a wonderful experience here. It was beautiful, peaceful, clean, and comfortable. The houseboat had everything we needed and then some. And our hosts were so friendly, as was everyone else we met in this city. 10/10 recommend.

What makes this property unique
You are literally ON the water. Staying on a houseboat is more than a place to sleep---it's an experience! You will enjoy peaceful water views, fresh air, and the relaxing "lake life" vibe the moment you step aboard. From morning coffee on the back deck or covered full length top deck-maybe watching the sunrise, to evening dinner and relaxing-watching the sunset. There is also plenty of interior space to relax, watch tv, or play board games. This is a one-of-a-kind stay that you won't get in a hotel or house.
