Charming farmhouse in lovely setting and close to Knoxville or Maryville. We used it for a get together with local family and it was a fun and relaxing place to gather. The host is responsive if you need anything and the bath amenities are nice.

We had a great visit to this Cottage! It was the perfect size for our family, very clean, and we loved visiting with the horses and goats! We were here this time for a concert downtown and it was very convenient. If we are back in Knoxville, we would definitely stay here again.

The yellow tea cup was outstanding! The best Vrbo yet! The house was beautifully decorated and clean. The host was amazing, friendly, and prompt with my questions. The horses were a bonus and I will miss Tucker! This is a must stay for the country atmosphere close to Knoxville. My daughter is a competitive swimmer and it is close to the University of Tennessee so with so many trips back and forth to the pool, it was in a perfect location! We plan to return! Thank you Christie!

The location was very convenient to downtown Knoxville (15 minutes). The grounds were very pretty with lots of outdoor seating. Indoors was also very spacious with a very bright and sunny game room. The 2.5 baths was convenient for our family. Kitchen was well stocked with supplies for cooking and eating. The horses, birds, and other wildlife was an extra special touch.

I generally do not leave reviews, but I had to for this property. The Yellow Tea Cup Cottage was the most charming little house we’ve ever stayed in. It was decorated in the quaintest fashion I’ve ever seen. It reminded me of staying at my grandmother’s house where everything was warm and inviting. There was plenty of room and the furnishings were abundant—including treats to feed to the friendly horses. If you’re looking for a nice relaxing spot in the country or a base of operations for your time in the Knoxville area, look no further. Oh, we liked the 8 in 1 Victrola so much that we decided to buy one for our house.

Cannot say enough good things about The Yellow Tea Cup Cottage! A charming property with (VERY friendly) horses outside every window, plenty of outdoor space, an extremely well-equipped kitchen, plenty of towels in each bath, cozy spots to read or nap, plus games, puzzles, and art supplies for the littles and lovely, homey touches everywhere. Our family travels to East Tennessee/Knoxville every summer, and this is BY FAR our favorite stay. We loved being greeted by (and sharing treats with) the horses, seeing wild Turkeys in the pasture in the early morning, and visiting the goats. Convenient to the airport, downtown Knoxville, and all the wonderful things the area has to offer. Christie is a wonderful, welcoming host and quick to respond to any questions.We are already planning our visit for next summer. 15/10 - highly recommend!

The outdoor space was amazing and the pleasure of being able to enjoy the animals on the farm was so soothing for all of us 6 plus our dog. Would highly recommend and would go back to stay again.
