Cedar Lodge Condo
We had a wonderful stay! Great location that is close to many things to do in the area. Unit was very clean, spacious, & had everything one could need. Quiet and peaceful with a nice balcony looking over the river. Thank you for sharing your space!

Lake Hair Don't Care @ Lakeside
This is my favorite airbnb we have stayed in so far!! So peaceful and the room and view was amazing. Was a great place for a mental reset. We will definitely be staying here again.

Riverview• Downtown• Market Squarea• 3NT BeachTrip
This place is a gem on the river in Knoxville. The view is beautiful, especially at night with the bridge all lit up. I walked, and I walked, and I walked…. There are restaurants and coffee shops everywhere and it is very close to downtown. It’s in a really cool historic building and we really enjoyed it. It was wonderful from start to finish!

"Farmhouse Chic: Poolside Luxury" Sleeps 16
I took my family to stay in the farmhouse the week of Christmas. The house was very clean and matched the description given. The heater in the pool was out but the hot tub worked. When I had an issue and reached out, it was resolved quickly. It is within walking distance of many things to do. We enjoyed the breakfast vouchers and drinks in the lobby. We also joined in the sing along and s’mores and loved it!

Cozy condo with amazing view!
Great place to stay. Location was excellent and peaceful. Host communicated exceptionally well. Condo was very clean.

Beautiful Lakeside suite with private entrance
This was a great place to stay, Susan was great to work with. We would definitely stay again.

Peaceful Creekside Getaway
Had an amazing time! Was truly a perfect place! Even with a shared building, it was private. No interactions with neighbors and a peaceful community.

Brand NEW* river front, flat lot, near attractions
We loved our stay here! Our group really enjoyed all the space and the beautiful kitchen/game room. The host was extremely responsive and even worked with us on our arrival time. I will say if you are not familiar with the area, it seems like you are lost because the house doesn't fit in with the street, but we felt extremely comfortable and at home! We would 1000% stay here again. If you are needing a place for a fun girl's trip, this is your sign to book here!

Lake House - 3 Bedroom Lake Front Rental Home!
Very nice place on the lake. Thanks for hosting us!

Smoky Mountain Lake House-Boat dock/Theater/Hottub
We had a wonderful stay.

Private Lakefront Retreat on Douglas Lake
The place was lovely. We had a great time. The kids really enjoyed all the available games (and hot tub) on site. We had a group of 7 which was comfortable however wouldnt recommend more as the home is on the more quaint side. The view was unmatched and being at the end of the street gave such a sense of privacy. While the home is "off the beaten path" the additional time needed to get there from the attractions were well worth it. The home had everything needed for our stay which was such a relief when it came to packing. I would recommend the home to anyone looking to stay in the area but would like some privacy and easy access to the lake. Thank you for the amazing hospitality.

Lake Front Lodge & Chalet - Sleeps 24
Could probably use a different cleaning crew. However, the place was lovely! Location great, property, beautiful & peaceful. The beds were great, clean, & plentiful. The owners couldn’t have been more accommodating, & friendly. Even the lake itself was larger & more beautiful than I expected. I would definitely stay there again.

Luxury Lakefront Home with Pavilion and Loft
Our stay was truly exceptional. The house was thoughtfully stocked, very clean, and the views were AMAZING. The property was spacious enough to accommodate two families comfortably, and the outdoor areas provided additional living spaces, allowing everyone to spread out and relax. Shelly and Chloe demonstrated outstanding communication throughout our stay, making the experience seamless and enjoyable. We look forward to booking this home again in the future.

River Front- 1 mile to Parkway- No Steep Roads
Amy & Brett's home was a wonderful place to stay. It was super clean and had a lovely scent when we walked in. The bath towels were big and fluffy- unlike some places that give you cheap scratchy towels that mostly function as squeegees. Obviously, the river view was the star. It is beautiful. The sound is just the best white noise you can ask for. The location of the house is also worth mentioning. It is close enough to be super convenient, but away enough to not feel like you are in the hubbub.

Come have fun in the sun on the Tennessee River
Our family had a beautiful stay while visiting family in Tellico Village. We slept great, had lots of room to unpack and spread out, and the kitchen came stocked with some spices, flour, etc.

Hideaway on Hill Q Bed & Q Sofa Bed Private Patio
Went to Knoxville for the Big Ears Music Festival and this place was in a perfect location with a beautiful view of the river and bridge. It is a basement apartment in an old building, so it lacks some light and has some of the quirks and noises to be expected. Was a perfect place to stay for our purposes; we would stay again.

Soothing Creekside Sounds
Great place to stay. Centrally located to lots of great restaurants, attractions and grocery stores. Loved sitting out back listening to the birds and the creek below. Very private and peaceful. Super clean with lots of extra nice touches. Check out Anakeesta, beautiful park and incredible Mountain views.

Peaceful River/ Mountains Views/ Pigeon Forge/ Dol
We loved being right on the river with a view of the mountains. Also loved the gas fireplace since the mornings and evenings were cooler. Enjoyed not being in too busy of a place but it was so handy to whatever we wanted to do. It was easy to get to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg or the park. Great place for 3 couples to stay. We thought it would be a great place for kids, too, but we didn’t bring any :)

Riverside Condo on Peaceful Side of the Smokies
It was our second time to stay here. Quiet, not all the hustle and bustle. Easy to get to attractions when you want to.

Riverfront Condo close to all attractions.
Absolutely loved staying here! Location was perfect and Jackie was a great host. There was an issue one of the nights we stayed there and Jackie was more than gracious with the resolution. Can’t say enough good things about her as a host. Just a wonderful stay overall and someplace we hope to stay at again on a future stay!

FREE Dollywood Ticket • 3bd 3ba • Condo on River •
The first thing I noticed was a clean smell as soon as I opened the condo door. The condo was awesome! Centrally located and so easy to check in and out. It had everthing you could want in a condo. Beds were super comfy and the Keurig hit the spot! Will definetly be staying with this host again!

Treetops Resort Gatlinburg 2Bd2B Condo. SATURDAY
Absolutely loved the location and our room! Our family of 6 was very comfortable and felt right at home 🏡

River Song @ Cedar Lodge Resort, Rustic 2B/ 2B
We enjoyed our stay very much. I truly have no complaints. Everything was as described and the condo was very clean. I would stay again.
