About the host
Hosted by Scott Moats
We’re happiest when we’re out experiencing life together. Traveling is one of our favorite things to do — whether it’s exploring a new city, relaxing near the water, or planning our next weekend getaway. We love the excitement of live sports events, the energy of great music, and finding those local restaurants and coffee shops that make a place feel special.
Some of our favorite moments are the simple ones — good coffee in the morning, great food in the evening, and sharing new experiences along the way. We both enjoy discovering places that have character, meeting new people, and making memories wherever we go. For us, it’s less about where we are and more about enjoying the journey together.
Why they chose this property
I chose this downtown neighborhood because it puts you right in the center of everything Knoxville has to offer. You can walk to some of the city’s best restaurants, bars, live music, and local attractions without needing a car. It’s a vibrant, energetic area that makes it easy to explore during the day and enjoy the nightlife in the evening. My goal was to create a stay where guests can fully experience the city right outside their door.
What makes this property unique
It’s one of the most recognizable historic buildings in downtown Knoxville. That alone gives your rental a character most units can’t replicate. Here’s what likely makes your unit stand out:
Historic character + modern comfort Combines early-1900s architecture with updated interiors. Features like exposed brick, large windows, tall ceilings, and open loft layouts create a space that feels authentic to downtown Knoxville rather than just another apartment.
True downtown location Guests can walk to Market Square, Gay Street, the Tennessee Theatre, restaurants, coffee shops, and UT events in minutes. Being able to park once and explore the city on foot is a huge draw.
The “loft experience” travelers look for Many visitors specifically search for industrial-style loft stays when visiting a city. The Sterchi building delivers that urban, historic-city feel people don’t get from hotels or newer condos.
Natural light and views Sterchi units typically have large windows and great natural light, which makes the space feel open and inviting — something guests consistently notice in reviews.
A stay that feels local Instead of feeling like a generic rental, staying in Sterchi Lofts feels like living in downtown Knoxville, which is exactly what many travelers want.
