BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED HOUSEBOAT on Tennessee River with golfcart!
This 1984 50’ Jamestowner has undergone a complete renovation! You’ll enjoy the rustic beams on the ceiling while enjoying new furniture, all new appliances, new kitchen & comfortable bedding. I fell in love with this boat when first I saw it and knew with a little love and TLC it could be restored to new life! I know you will have fond memories of this very unique stay in beautiful East Tennessee! The boat is located at Volunteer Landing Marina. Downtown Knoxville and the beautiful Volunteer Landing are a short walk away. ***Please note that the boat must stay at the marina and attached to the slip. I will provide a golf cart for your use during your stay for transporting your belongings. It is shared between my other houseboat rentals. Please be considerate and not keep it out for extended periods of time and do not leave it in the parking lot. I will meet you for check-in and go over basic systems of the boat and will leave you to your privacy, but I'm only a text or call away in case you need anything.
***Swimming is not permitted from the boat or within 100 yards of the marina per TN State law.
***This may not be suitable for young children due to proximity of water.

They must be under a flea control regimen, not permitted on furniture/bedding, and not left while owners are out unless crated and non barking. Thank you for your cooperation so the accommodation is pleasant for future guests and those in boats nearby.
***Tennessee Volunteers home football gameday weekends, UT graduation, and Big Ears Festival require a 3 night minimum stay***
**Absolutely NO parties or loud outdoor music is permitted and additional visitors must get host approval to maintain the security of the marina. Quiet hours are 10pm-7am. I take the marina requirements very seriously and guests may be asked to vacate with no refund if I receive a complaint. It is a family oriented facility and being able to rent my houseboat here is a privilege. Thank you for making it a pleasant location for all marina patrons!

Beautifully restored houseboat with attention to detail… host made it so special with all the amenities and very easy check-in…we all had a great time!!
Angie has thought of every detail! Two couples that came in for a long Tennessee football weekend and made awesome memories! Location and amenities were top notch!
A wonderful weekend getaway with the family! Angie was a wonderful host - friendly, responsive, and an overall pleasure to work with. Would recommend highly to anyone looking for a memory-making trip!
We really enjoyed our time on the houseboat and it was such a fun adventure for the kids! Angie was so friendly and communicative, and the space was clean and well thought out. It was a unique stay, and we appreciated the close proximity to downtown and the trolley. Thanks, Angie!
I shared this property with my daughter and two grandchildren. We all loved it. It’s location to downtown is amazing. Angie, the property manager, was the best I’ve ever experienced. Very very clean and well stocked. Highly recommend this boat.
Such a cute little place :) There were just 2 of us friends and we loved our stay. Anyone over 6ft might need to be careful they don't hit their head walking around (but that was not a problem for us!)
Angie was communicable, but just the right amount :) Would definitely stay again.
If your looking for a unique experience with all the bells and whistles, this is the place! Beautifully decorated with all the comforts of home and the attention to detail you would find at a 5 star hotel.
Angie made sure we had everything we needed for a stress free weekend.
Beautiful clean houseboat. Relaxing on the water vacation. Close to public transportation to explore downtown and surrounding area. Owner is available to answer any questions or concerns. Love this property.
We loved our 1st stay on a houseboat as a family. There were 3 in our group and our boat was very comfortable. Good beds and the A/C kept things cool. Close to downtown and restaurants. Angie is an impeccable hostess! We really enjoyed that her 3 rental boats are together and created a social environment where we met and talked with our boat neighbors which is a unique experience in this day and age.
This place is amazing! Clean and updated and all the amenities you need for your stay. Location was great! Close to campus and town. Barely needed the car the entire visit. Angie was a wonderful host and attended to any questions we had within minutes. Neighbors were very friendly too. We will be back!
Hands down, the best overall VRBO we have stayed in!
Angie has the touch for decorating and being a wonderful host. From the complimentary snacks and water to the nice towels and bed linens; this houseboat was clean and well appointed. The golf cart was a lifesaver! Angie was responsive to our questions and helped with anything we needed! We look forward to visiting again.
My wife and I spent a week on the houseboat while attending a conference at the convention center. What a peaceful and convenient alternative to a city hotel! Greenways (bike/walking paths) provide a car-less option to exploring Knoxville. The host Angie and her family were very gracious and responsive. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend!
We had a fantastic stay on the houseboat. Angie thought of everything that we could possibly need and was the most gracious host. We had plenty of indoor space, but the outdoor space was my favorite. Every morning I enjoyed my coffee up top overlooking the river. We had hoped to take the kayaks out but ran out of time during our busy visit. Next time! We will definitely be back.
Came for concert and went to Ruth Chris to eat. So peaceful ! Fed geese and lived the cute boat. Trust me this houseboat is perfect. Got to meet owner in person ever day. Loved it and she is so great. Hugged her and left food for my goose when we left. Will be back for sure. You are great.

About the host
Hosted by Angie Wilson
Hello! I'm Angie! I've been a dental hygienist for 26 years and decided to take a break to branch out into the super fun world of hosting. I currently have 3 boats available for rental. I love meeting new people and providing a fun, unique alternative to traditional hotels/condos. I strive for 5 star properties with an exceptionally clean/disinfected accommodation and attention to details.
Why they chose this property
This houseboat is a very unique stay! It may not be for everyone so if you're expecting 10' ceilings and complete solitude please don't book it. But if you're looking for a different fun experience directly on the water, then prepare for a stay that will be like no hotel or condo can match!
What makes this property unique
The boat is within walking distance to downtown Knoxville, Market Square, and historic Gay Street. It has been renovated for a cozy feel with all new appliances, furniture, and bedding.
