Kitchen was totally equipped and ready for use. We used 5 of the bedrooms and everyone said they had the most sound sleep in a long time! We all met there very easily, coming from 4 different states to attend a family wedding. Location is perfect. I absolutely recommend this wonderful home for any occasion!

A graduation gathering
My family and I had a great time at this property as we gathered for our youngest son’s graduation! The house had enough rooms and bathrooms to take care of everyone. The property was clean, well located, and fun. The property manager was communicative and helpful. The arcade games were a fun bonus! I highly recommend!

Wonderful stay at Urban Oasis
My family of eight spent four nights at Urban Oasis while in Knoxville for a wedding. Beds were comfortable, plenty of room to spread out, everything clean and in order when we checked in. The teens and younger child loved the arcade and chess/checker game. The kitchen was well equipped though we did not use much other than the toaster and refrigerator. Parking on the street or behind the house was fine. Communication with the management company was prompt and clear. Would recommend this property to anyone needing room for a larger group. No complaints!

Great But The Photos
Our stay was great. 8 friends traveled here from Portland and SanDiego for the Big Ears Festival. Clean, comfortable, more cookware than most properties I’ve stayed in in the past. Close enough to The Old City that it was an easy walk. My only issue is that the photos, having been manipulated for a hopeful sale of the property show a much brighter, whiter, fresher version of the spaces within. Somewhat deceptive. Regardless, I would gladly rent this location again for next year’s Festival. If I only knew the dates.

The third floor was a sauna even when we turned the air conditioner on in the winter.
Property was clean with only two issues. Sink in middle level bathroom was leaking and TV in middle King bedroom wasn’t working.

Old world feel
This home is probably 100+ years old and has been updated with modern amenities and beautifully renovated. The morning light streaming in through the many windows and reflecting off of the white walls and bedding, allow the exposed brick and amazing hardwood floors to take center stage. It’s absolutely beautiful with an old world feel! The interior of this home is truly like something out of a design magazine.
But I’d say the biggest perk to this space is the ownership! We never met them, but the communication was the best of any place we’ve ever stayed. The neighborhood is going through a transition, so there’s construction across the street. When I mentioned that to the homeowner, he went and purchased white noise machines for each of the bedrooms and dropped them off at the house for us, while we were at the ballfield. That was such an attentive response, which we all really appreciated, because we didn’t hear the construction at all the second morning.

Cute home near downtown!
This house is absolutely adorable! Plenty of room for large groups, amazing kitchen, and great game room. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our weekend here and would 100% book here again. We honestly spent the majority of our time hanging out on the front porch and when we weren’t there, you could find us all playing games in the living room. Overall great place to stay and great host!
