Lovely house in nice neighborhood, short drive to University campus and downtown Knoxville. Comfortable, clean and nicely decorated with thoughtful details throughout. Sits on a busy road so it is a little bit noisy at times which is to be expected and the outdoor furniture could use a little upkeep but the yard is large and well maintained. The hosts were communicative and responsive and check-in and out was smooth and simple.

House was great and spacious for our group. There were two parking spaces and a good size backyard. The backyard is not fully fenced but the gaps are adequately blocked. The house is in a great location very close to the university and downtown. Overall, we would stay there again.

We stayed at Urban Island for four nights over Easter weekend. It was the perfect respite for us and our dogs as we visited our son who is a student at UTK. The house was very well decorated and equipped with everything we needed. Check-in was flawless and we quickly got settled in for a relaxing weekend. The yard was perfect for our two dogs who were entertained by the local wildlife. We highly recommend this spot if you are visiting Knoxville.

Vols weekend

Perfect for game day weekend. Close enough to be there in a short Uber ride far enough to be away from crowds.
