Doug and Cathy were great! Cathy personally greeted us when we arrived and gave us some ideas of cool places to eat and hikes. The room was well accommodated and has a fantastic view. We will definitely choose Toad Hill for our next Smoky Mountain trip! Highly recommend!

Doug is really an honorable man. When I was inquiring something with Doug about the house, someone else stepped in and booked the house. Doug was able to communicate with the other guest to give up on his house and leave it for me. Then I got in trouble in some payment issue and needed substantial time to figure out. During this time, a lot of other people wanted to book it since it is in the unique timing of total eclipse. He was trusting me and holding me until very late in the night even though my booking starts the next day. The location is unique, not far away from the city but through a secret path, you suddenly drive up to the top of the hill where you are just hidden in the forest. You have the perfect privacy.

Fantastic location, great communication and a lovely place to stay

Most airbnb's are just a place to stay. Lazy River Landing is a destination. This was one of those places we wished we'd booked for a week or more, not just overnight. Our daughters had an amazing time swimming in the most perfect, picture book river. My wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and the romantic setting was only made more ideal by the bottle of wine and souvenir glasses waiting for us upon our arrival. The morning was spent looking across the hazy water with complimentary coffee. Our hosts provided everything we could possibly want to make us feel at home and provided excellent recommendations for dinner in Knoxville which was a very short drive away. Market Square was a really cool area with great independent shops and restaurants where we poked around for the evening. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the setting was heavenly. If you're reading these words, stop and book this listing now before someone else does, maybe us as we will definitely be back. You will not regret it.

What a fantastic Airbnb experience! This was our first time using Airbnb and we could not have expected anything more positive. The location was great, close to Knoxville and only about an hour to the Smokies. Quite neighborhood hidden away from any busier streets. There is a train that comes by close to the home, but that only added to the experience as the week went by. (Hearing the train whistle echo throughout the river valley as the train picked up speed was pretty cool.) The hosts Mike and Mary Lou were fantastic. They welcomed any feedback and truly strive to make their home a relaxing oasis during your stay. From the door lock code, to the persoanlized welcome note with a bottle of wine, checking in to the property felt very inviting. The amenities in the unit itself were great. Comfortable furninshings, plenty of towels and sheets, even lots of complimentary toiletries if you happened to forget something. We could not have asked for anything more. Waking up to a river view every morning was fantastic. When we return to the Knoxville area, this will always be a first choice for lodging.

Lazy River Landing was beyond our expectations; it's tastefully furnished and stocked with anything you could possibly need. The view of the water was really something - the photos don't do it justice. We had no trouble locating the house - Michael did a great job of making sure we had good directions when arriving at night - and it was a quick drive into Knoxville for a ball game and dinner. Do yourself a favor and book a stay here.

Wonderful couple! Both micheal and Mary lou were gracious and very helpful as we looked for things to do in the area. The peace they offered up was just what we needed. Beautiful surroundings and warm welcoming accommodations. We will be back!

We felt so at home and welcome here. This is such a cute place with a beautiful view. It was also a great location not too far from downtown.

The place is perfect for that relaxing get a way. The place was very cozy and more than we expected.

The pictures do not do justice for how beautiful this place is! Mike and Mary Lou were very friendly and let us use their canoe to go fishing. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for my first time in Tennessee. The wine and snacks were a great perk. They welcomed us into their home and made us felt at home. We were able to have small camp fires out by the lake at night and fished all day long. Being so close to downtown Knoxville was also great! It was only a 13 dollar Uber ride to the city. This was a super affordable and very comfortable vacation. I will definitely be coming back!

Michael was fantastic. My wife and I arrived later than expected. Still, Michael was there to greet us and make us feel welcomed. The apartment was better than described. There was a bottle of wine, complimentary wine glasses, a cozy bed, drinks in the fridge, and everything convenience you'd find in a full furnished home. The waterfront view was gorgeous and the neighborhood quiet. The street is a little narrow, but this means no through traffic or gratuitous noise bleeding into the neighborhood. The property was very well kept and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. If there was an option for six stars, I'd give it.

Amazing place. Will be staying again!

It was a beautiful house, very well decorated. We had comfortable stay.

The place was really cute. We were there for the eclipse and it was perfect. I would definitely recommend it.

If your looking to explore the Knoxville, Townsend area, Janie's place is the perfect fit. Everything we did seemed to be a mere 30 minutes away whether the Farmer's Market, Ijams Nature Center, dog parks and minor league baseball in the Knoxville area to local eateries and wineries and smoky mountains in Townsend and Maryville. Her place is tastefully decorated with all the amenities including a peaceful area next to the river with a fire pit. You definitely will get a feel for the quiet country life when you stay here.

This was an excellent space with all the necessary comforts plus Janie's great attention to details. We had a wonderful visit and our host was fantastic to us. It was a great value and I would stay again in a heartbeat!

This is just the cutest little home! Perfect for someone wanting to just relax and spend quality time with loved ones! Very convenient to the Smoky Mountains, Maryville and not far at all from Knoxville. Perfect little spot on the river to hang out and relax. I definitely will recommend to my friends/ family and I will stay here again soon!

This was an awesome place to stay. Janie is a wonderful host. To begin, communication was perfect, and Janie responded quickly to any request or question. When we first walked in, we immediately noticed Janie's great style and loved how the house was decorated. When we walked into the kitchen, she had bread and cookies from a bakery waiting on us! The house was very clean, and the beds were so comfy. Plenty of pillows and fun blanket throws to cuddle up with when we were reading or watching TV. The chairs by the water were an awesome bonus. Sat outside with a cup of coffee on Sunday morning just watching the water and listening to the birds. We did not have time to have a fire pit outside, but we plan to return with that on our list. Even though the house was pretty close to a road, it was so quiet. We were able to relax and get some rest. Thank you so much Janie! We will be back next time we are in Maryville.

If you're looking for a place does peaceful and quiet and close to everything you need you have found the right place it's charming in style end it has such a comfortable feeling.

Tammy's place was beautiful! The house is in a nice, quiet neighborhood on a few acres of land. Very spacious! The room was beautiful with hawaiian and beach themed decor. The queen bed was so comfortable with different pillows for choice of firmness. The bathroom was equipped with toiletries and different kinds of body washes which I thought was neat! And the bathroom guest book!!! LOL! I will definitely come back and stay here for next con!

We had a remarkable stay with Tammy and Trey. They really do their best to accommodate their guests. They have a charming place and are excellent hosts. They have great information for anyone that wants suggestions and are most pleasant If/when we return to the area we will request them again.

This is a quiet place, somewhat in the country. It felt somewhat luxurious. We were there 5 nights and after a couple I started referring to it as home. Really enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful room! Enjoyed the fun decor, and a great nights sleep. All of our needs were anticipated and met, and we even too a picture behind the bar on the way out! We would definitely stay again!

Tammy and Trey are awesome hosts. I had a great stay with them. The Hawaiian themed room was very nice and the bed was very comfortable. The entire house is actually Hawaiian themed. Their cats and dog are very friendly. I would definitely stay with them again.

I totally enjoyed my first airbnb experience! I felt like I was in Hawaii :)

Great Stay Tammy and her husband made me feel welcome.

We had such a great stay!

Step away from stress to this wonderful cabin. Deer in the front yard and birds in trees. Perfect for time alone or a family reunion.

Words can't express how beautiful, clean and perfect your cabin was! The linens were so fresh and clean, the cabin had everything necessary to relax and feel at home! The Jacuzzi was clean and like new! The pavilion above the garage was a cool quiet place to grill and enjoy nature!We had a wonderful visit and we can't wait to tell or friends about your lovely cabin!

We were expecting a nice cabin but upon arrival we found ourselves in an amazing fairytale like setting! Once you roll through the beautiful gated entrance everything will amaze you! Rabbits-squirrels-red cardinals galore! Absolutely beautiful with a 3 story high end equipped cabin with nothing spared! You won't be sorry!

Perfect spot for a small group close to downtown Knoxville.

This is my 2nd stay. I won't stay anywhere else while in the area!! Victoria and Sams place is exactly as advertised. SUPER clean, great decor, great bed, the shower pressure is superb!!!

Terrific place to stay. Quiet secluded, yet central to tourist attractions. Separate driveway, entrance and patio, plus hammocks. Home is artistically decorated. Lots of room to spread out and be comfortable. The hosts are amazing people. Ready to share stories and conversations and respect your privacy. Victoria and Sam took us kayaking, shared bonfires and offered several suggestions for local vendors. Can't wait to visit TN again just to stay here again.

I can't say enough about Victoria and Sam!!! Perfect hosts, perfect space, new friends!!! This is the place you want to stay!!!!

We really enjoyed our time staying with Victoria. She is a very attentive and responsive hostess who went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. She even took us kayaking on the river one night. The apartment was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The location is excellent. We loved being able to stay in a semi-rural area that was just a short drive one way to downtown Knoxville, and the other way to the Smoky Mountains. Highly recommend.

Victoria's place was enchanting. Very quiet, secluded area...but close to Knoxville. Enjoyed our stay.

Such a great find! Loved staying here. Comfy bed, great relaxing area and everything you need. Victoria and Sam are so lovely and Victoria went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and more! Would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Knoxville!

This place is absolutely a gem! Victoria made this a sweet nesting place for those looking for relaxation. Bed... amazing! Place...creative! Location...peaceful! Would recommend it to anyone! Safe, clean, and remote! Keep up the good work guys! Great Airbnb host!

Victoria in Sam's place was absolutely amazing. It's such a scenic neighborhood only 10 minutes away from downtown Knoxville. The artwork and furnishings are well done. They are gracious hosts and I would stay with them again in a heartbeat.

Couldn't have asked for better hosts!

Loved the place and the hosts. Very friendly, and the house is lovely.

We had a great stay! Our hosts were extremely accomodating and gracious. We would definitely stay again.

I don't think it is possible to say anything negative about this place. It's accessible to th e airport, Knoxville, Pigeon forge, Gatlinburg and the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The owners are wonderful hosts but I was most impre ssed by the genuine feeling of love and family that you sense as soon as you enter the door. And that huge private tiki bar downstairs! Wow! The kitchen is fully equipped and I was invited to eat dinner with the family. The bed was very comfortable, bathroom clean, and stocked with a variety of body wash es. The front deck was inviting and private. The bedroom was spacious and equipped with a TV and Netflix so I could relax and enjoy some shows before bed . Don't hesitate to book either rooms they have at this property!

Great place

I was in town for work. The price was great! We had full access to the kitchen. Its very peaceful and not far from town. It's about an hour to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg which was nice. And even closer to Knoxville!! We definitely enjoyed staying here!

Great stay, great tiki bar and wonderful hosts.

Great accommodation and very convenient to the Smokies, Knoxvillen, and Seveirville. Clean, comfortable, and hip. Highly recommended- must love cats!

Host was very welcoming. Cottage was as described. Neighborhood is very nice - hilly and picturesque with lots of trees and wildlife. Location is great! Close enough to Knoxville city center and UT to enjoy the activities, but far enough away to enjoy a peaceful getaway in the woods. Friendly outdoor pets and several deer who come up to graze. Functional kitchen although odd configuration. Nice to have use of a real fireplace in the cool of fall and winter. Large covered patio facing the woods. Large oak tree that drops sizable acorns, so beware.

This cottage was more than expected! If you want a perfect Tennessee vacation, this is where you should stay. Simply the drive and driveway to this cottage is worth it! It is beautiful and everything promised. Much better than staying in a hotel. My family loved this Cozy Cottage. It was hard to leave. Highly recommended. We will be back!

The Cozy Cottage was a great getaway for my family. We enjoyed the quiet of the neighborhood. Hope to come back soon. We wanted to sit and watch the fire, but we had too much to do with other family. Will have to do that next time.

The cabin was great! Ceramic tile floors, rough sawn doors and trim, wood floors and open beams ceilings. We played "Apples to Apples" on the screen porch before cooking on the electric grill and enjoying our meal at the dining room table. Becky and Lauren were very gracious hosts-allowing us to test their rope swing and visit with their pets and beautiful baby. The short walk to the river bank was perfect for winding down after dinner. Our first experience with Air BnB was a real winner. Thank you!

Becky's cozy cottage was perfect for my 5 day stay in Knoxville. It's located just 10 minutes from downtown Knoxville and was a great home away from home.

Great space, great hosts. Hope we can stay again sometime.

Great place to stay for a get away weekend.

Becky and Lauren are very helpful and provided many extras for us! The cottage is very cozy and on a beautiful bluff with peaks of the TN River! Our kids loved the huge screened porch for playing! Our family enjoyed this property to it's fullest and plan to stay there again! I highly recommend this property! The photos are accurate and the cottage is even better in person!

It is such a charming one bedroom for a couple or parent and child going to TN games which is why my son and I stayed. They are the sweetest, and most gracious hosts ever! Quick to respond to our original email and we booked within minutes with a confirmation. Check in was very quick and smooth as well. We will definitely stay with them again soon!

Brian was extremely flexible with our late check-in situation as we were making a long drive that day, and communicated very well throughout the day! We were given very specific instructions on where we could park (including a picture with shaded areas) before arriving, we were given a personal walk-through when we arrived, and a nice letter was left in the kitchen answering questions like what the WIFI password was and notable things about the space. The space itself greatly exceeded our expectations for the very reasonable price. All the windows had room darkening shades, which was perfect for us. The kitchen didn't lack anything, from dishes to appliances to basic snack and drink accommodations. The bathroom was cozy but perfectly functional and updated. The bedroom offered plenty of storage/closet space, comfy blankets and pillows, and was well organized. The air conditioning worked very well and there was lighting everywhere you could want it(URL HIDDEN)Overall this stay was definitely a 10/10. Amazing host, space, area, cleanliness, and thoughtful preparations =)

This is my first time staying in a RV. But it felt no different than a good hotel room. It was a very pleasant stay. We were so comfortable with all amenities. Very clean. Brian and Phillip was so kind and helpful. Did definitely recommend this place to stay.

Brian's Bay Hill was exactly as advertised - including being immaculately clean and maintained. (Seriously, the living area is nicer than our house!) The area was exceedingly quiet, which was a relief to us coming from an inner city. Communication was excellent, warm, and welcoming - and the space was much larger than expected, with none of the problems one might anticipate from an RV. (Air flow and temperature were perfect, hot water was immediate, the shower was larger and more comfortable than *many* cabins we've stayed in over the years.) We would take this a hundred times over a motel; the value was incredible. If you're traveling to the area, you should give Brian's Bay Hill top consideration!

I requested a late check-in and Brian was quick to accommodate. Communication was great and I would recommend this location to anyone. It is an incredible deal for such a nice place.

Super clean, privacy was great and a lot of space for the money. Would stay again!

Beautiful and cozy RV. Shops, restaurants, etc are all 15-30 min away if you don't mind driving but there are a lot of cute local parks to fish or just enjoy all the lovely views. 10/10 would recommend!

Brian was readily available for any questions that we had and was very welcoming. He was working when we got there but Phillip was available to check us in. The place was great! Incredibly clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend staying here if it is available! We will be if we are back in the area.

Brian and Phillip were amazing hosts. The camper is immaculate and beyond nice. It was like having your own private apartment. Brian accommodated my late check in the location was really close to my needs in Maryville. Would definitely stay again!

The cottage is comfortable, clean, and well- appointed. There were three of us in the cottage and the space was absolutely perfect. We made most of our meals at home and the kitchen had everything we needed - and the availability of a grill was much welcome. Also, the fire pit was a great place to spend the evenings over conversation. The AC works great - and the beds are super comfy. We are already looking forward to another visit to this awesome cottage! Also, if you get a chance, definitely chat with Vivian and Rick - they're terrific, friendly people - I was glad I had a chance to chat with them.

We are grateful for our lovely New Years stay. Vivian and Rick were very friendly, helpful and quick to reply. Clearly design and hospitality come naturally to them--there were beautiful and welcoming touches throughout the cottage (including a little basket of snacks!). We only wish we could have stayed longer to relax and enjoy it!

A very nice little cabin in a lovely location. It was rustic, but very comfortable and well appointed. We were only there for one night, but would have liked to explore the area further. Maryville seems like a great little town.

We had a lovely overnight at Rocky Creek. It was akin to staying at a vacation home kept by family. The accommodations were charming and comfortable in every way. Not long after we arrived, Vivian stopped by to welcome us in person and to reiterate that if we needed anything at all, she and Rick were close by. In the early evening, we hiked up a small trail behind the cottage, plucking wild blackberries along the way. In the morning we enjoyed having our coffee in rocking chairs on the front porch. The road that borders the front edge of the property had a lot of morning traffic but the cabin is so far off the road and tree cover is enough that it wasn't a problem. It was a lovely family night for the five of us and so much nicer than a hotel option. We recommend wholeheartedly.

With an additional 5 starts in the comment box. This place is 10 times better in person. The pictures really don't do it justice. The property is beautiful as well as the cabin. CLEAN, very clean. The front porch has a great view of the smokies! Vivian was the perfect host, giving us our privacy yet being attentive to our questions. The place was so nice I booked it for an extra night. I will be back. Thanks for an amazing place to stay for the weekend!

Second time staying in this fabulous cabin. Was here this time with my sister visiting my daughter at Maryville College. The hosts go out of their way to make you feel at home with small touches like snacks, water, eggs, etc. Can not wait to visit again!

After a few days of some R&R in the beautiful smokies, our group decided we needed one more day before returning to our lives in the city. Rick and Vivian were gracious hosts and allowed us to extend our trip with zero hassle! The cottage was actually better than our previous one and we wish we had found this place first. Lots of yard and outdoor activity room. The fire pit was fantastic and there was plenty of firewood, marshmallows, and graham crackers provided for all six guests to enjoy. Towels, soap, snacks, and games were all provided. One of the best Airbnb experiences I have had. We can't wait to come back!

This cottage was so awesome!!! We only spent one night in the Knoxville area, and we had planned to enjoy the Knoxville night life. After walking into this cottage, we changed our minds completely and stayed in for the night. There is so much to do from starting a fire pit to playing board games to grilling. The nights stay was much more than expected. The beds were super comfortable and we really enjoyed the layout of the whole place overall. We really had that "home in the woods" feel that we love. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

A lovely cabin with comfortable beds and quiet nights.The location is perfect- close to Maryville and the airport yet just minutes away from the mountains!

Great place for a family get-together! We so enjoyed our Christmas with the kids and grandkids! Huge kitchen with plenty of counter space. Margaret and Andrew are quick to respond to any calls or difficulties.

The cabin is on a private road with friendly neighbors and limited traffic. The hosts were accessible throughout our visit and the pride they show in the condition of their house is evident.

This is a great place. Convenient location to everything. Friendly hosts and only a phone call away if need something.

Great place to stay! The cabin is awesome. You won't be disappointed!

Andrew's place was exactly what we were hoping for! Everything was clean, beds were comfy, and we loved it. Our boys really enjoyed the unexpected surprise when the lights were turned off in the upstairs bedroom too! If you are looking at renting this property, don't hesitate!

The cabin was wonderul. Andrew was very responsive and everything was as described. We were able to settle in quite easily, which allowed us to enjoy the surrounding areas.

This place was everything it's was shown to be. I will be coming back here as many times as I can. Perfect for no matter what your wanting to do.

This home exceeded our expectations! It is lovely in every sense. Everything about this home is high quality and spotless. We floated the days away in the beautiful, private pool. At night, our extended family (10 in all) watched movies together in the very comfortable theater room. What a great place for a family vacation!

Mary was an amazing host. The house was absolutely fantastic. We had a large group of 12 people and this house worked PERFECT! The amenities - pool, balcony, movie room, downstairs mini bar/fridge, billiards room & PACMAN Machine all added to our wonderful experience. They left detailed instructions for how to work every electronic, and even had a snack package upon our arrival :) My group had such a great time staying here and we really hope to come back and stay multiple times a year - we loved it that much! HIGHLY recommended for any groups looking for an affordable, great spot in knoxville. GO WITH THIS HOUSE you won't be let down! There's a gas station right down the road and it's very close to the university and downtown Knoxville.

We stayed at Mary's lovely home for a weekend, and I can't begin to describe how perfect our experience was! The home was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and very spacious. The beds were so comfy and the showers were amazing! The pool area was perfect for laying in the sun all day long. Mary was nice to leave our group snacks and a lovely note. She even went out of her way and coordinated with other members of our party pre-stay. I hope to book this house again for a Vols game soon!

This was my first time using Airbnb, and this experiment with Mary was great. She always responded my questions within just couple minutes. The house was clean and beautiful, also capable for more than 10 people. Again, it was an awesome trip !

I rented Mary's house as a place for my family to stay while we were in town for my wedding. Mary and her husband were super nice, they left a snack basket, were easy to get ahold of, and helped us with any questions we had. The house had plenty of space for everyone and was comfortable. The pool table and outside pool were well used during our stay! We had an amazing time and would certainly stay again!

Had a wonderful stay. Threw a bridal shower by the pool in the perfect secluded location. Lots of outdoor space to hangout in. Are hosts were easy to contact. Everything you would need to host a party was provided in their magnificent kitchen. We enjoyed playing pool and board games in the game room. There are outdoor cats which someone stops by to feed in the morning and evening. Also no radio or sound system provided. I would not hesitate to stay again or recommend to others. We are already planning our next girls trip here for next year. :)

Mary worked with us from moment one to make sure all our needs were met.

Great house, spacious, clean and cozy.
