We were in Knoxville to be with family and Urban Island was fantastic. You will understand the name of the house when you arrive bc it really is on an island of land! Very nice house with everything you could need. We had a dog we lost a few days before our arrival and the owner’s brought flowers and a dog toy for our other dog. Was really very nice of them! We will definitely be back!

Fun in Knoxville

Stayed for four days. Great house. Close to everything you would want to do in Knoxville. House is clean and well stocked. One small thing: the backyard is fantastic but if you have dogs keep in mind that the fence has two opening that are not gated. We blocked them with lawn furniture and that worked fine for us.

Great location, great home.

Stayed for a short weekend trip with our wife and dogs. The house was beautiful, clean, and the location was great. Less than 10 minutes away from most of the things we wanted to do downtown. The fenced backyard was great to just hang out with the dogs. There are two walkways out of the backyard which meant we had to keep close eye on our dogs in the backyard. Our pug was also able to sneak under the fence in the backyard in one spot. But overall a GREAT stay. Would absolutely stay there again.

Wedding weekend

We had no difficulty finding the house and it was just like the pictures. We weren't actually at the house very much since we were so active with a wedding. The only cooking we did was one breakfast and unfortunately the oven wasn't working properly. We informed Mike about it and I'm sure he took care of it promptly. The house was very clean and we were all very happy with it.

Great family retreat weekend

From reservation to check out, the host was very responsive and helpful. Great location, perfect layout, and all the stuff you need to enjoy your time with the family. Our three adult children joined us for our visit to Knoxville. The house had what each person needed with plenty of space for everyone. Even when people where up and moving, it was quite in the bedrooms. Easy access to downtown and campus. While we were out and about the 48 hours we were there, everyone agreed that we needed one more day just to hang around the house with each other. Plenty of dishes, cooking utensils, etc. The kitchen would be great if you were cooking, but we relied on nearby restaurants instead. Everyone agreed that we would return to this house when we are back in Knoxville. Do not hesitate to book if you are considering staying here. Much better than the downtown hotels for a game weekend.
