Loved staying on the river for my trip to Knoxville. Very comfortable and well equipped small houseboat. Stayed by myself, but would've been fine for a couple but no more unless small kids sleeping in bunk bed. Kitchen very functional. Bedroom very nice and with great views out the back of the boat. Back of the boat excellent place for coffee in the morning or beer in the evening, or will abled can go up the ladder to the top of the boat even better location and views. Bathroom and shower pretty small and tight, but does work fine. Also did not have to pay for parking like usual in downtown but the walk to the boat is about 10 minutes but a very pleasant walk along the dock. I would highly recommend for adventurous couple, not expecting high-end Marriott, etc. but a more casual stay on the water. Rith chris steakhouse and Calhoun's both walkable.

The greenway provided great access to shops, restuarants, etc. We were onlyl there for one day and it was perfect for what we wanted. LOVED sitting on the boat in the evening - much better then sitting in a hotel room!

My family of 4 plus our dog had a very fun stay! This was a unique experience that we thoroughly enjoyed. We used all the different decks and societies the cute and comfy decor. The tiny bathroom was the only drawback but totally livable for a short stay! We did not use the shower though as that didn’t look appealing, again totally fine for one night.

We only stayed a short time but we had a great time relaxing and sitting on the rear deck fishing. We actually caught some nice sized blue cats and carp. The house boat was very clean and good size for a family of 4. The bed was comfortable. Very nice neighbors that were friendly, helpful, and fun to chat with. Definitely will stay again!!! Only Recommendation I would give is bring snacks it’s kindve a long walk from the parking lot but you will see ducks, cranes, otters, and even some fish on your way to the house boat and once you are there you won’t want to leave just to get food. Just to peaceful to have to go fight the crowds.

The location was excellent. The use of the bikes made getting around so easy. The restaurant recommendations by the host were excellent. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was poor quality. There is little to no hot water for showering. The toilet is loud and troublesome. If the bathroom was updated, we would return.

Step outside the norm of a boring stay in hotel and enjoy this houseboat! What a fun experience. Everything was clean and we had everything needed for enjoying 3 days docked on a marina. Communication was great and experience was great!

Walking distance to UT, Ruth’s Chris, Calhoun’s, Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame. Boat was very clean, quiet location and nice views of the river. Wasn’t prepared to not being able to flush tp, had to throw away in trash can. Also not prepared for no warm water. Should be noted in the online description for guests to prepare for. Overall, we made it work and had an enjoyable experience.

The houseboat made a great first impression, but unfortunately that’s where the positives ended. Once we settled in, the charm quickly gave way to discomfort. The bathroom was so small it was barely usable, and the toilet and shower setup was strange enough to be a constant inconvenience.The bigger issue was the boat’s basic functionality. The electrical system failed, and we were without hot water for half of our stay — a major disruption that really undermined the entire experience. Owner's solution was for me to troubleshoot breakers, which is not how I wanted to spend time on my vacation.When asked for compensation, the amount given was so minimal it felt almost insulting given the extent of the problem. This rental has potential and the property and location are unique, but in fairness, this is really not much more comfortable than sleeping in a van down by the river.

Totally understand it’s a house boat, but the spiders and cob webs were pretty bad. I feel sorry for anyone over 6 feet tall trying to use the restroom and dirty shower. There was also layers of dust on the fans in each room that was flaring up my daughter’s allergies. We ended up driving back home 4 hours away at midnight because of those issues.

We needed a one night stay in Knoxville and thought this was a fun alternative. The listing photos were adorable but now realize some areas were not photographed entirely, leaving out some important features. It lists the houseboat as 1200 sq. ft, 2 bedroom, 1 bath, with all the kitchen amenities, and parking. This is what you ACTUALLY get:1 bedroom and bunkbeds in a narrow galley hallway- 2 feet across from the bathroom. There is no door that separates the bunks from the kitchen/living space. It is NOT 1200sq ft. of indoor living space- maybe with the deck spaces? The interior space is the size of a one bed hotel room. The bathroom is a toilet that seems to be original. at 5’4, when I sat, my knees hit the door. You cannot flush anything down the toilet, including toilet paper. To flush the toilet, you hold a button down for a count of ten. I had to text the host to learn how to flush the toilet. The shower is 2ft x 2ft and works by filling a tank on the outside of the boat and then press a button to drain it. It had standing rusty water. THERE IS NO HOT WATER. We did not use the shower because of its condition. The whole place was super dusty. There are no curtains in the living area, which felt unsafe. There are flying bugs near the inside lights. The kitchen is only plug in devices- a micro sized toaster oven and hot plate. We did not use the kitchen due to its condition and needing to fill the water tank. Parking is sketchy- and a long walk carrying your things.
