About this property
Mountain Vibe, Dog Friendly, 2 Kitchens, Huge New Front Deck, Sleeps 10, 1900sf
Modern retreat for up to 10 guests! Get the best of both worlds: a charming mountain vibe combined with a short drive to Neyland Stadium & UT football, the Knoxville Convention Center, and all of Knoxville's urban attractions. This remodeled 2-level home features 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, plus a living room and kitchen on each level. 20 min to UT, 5 min to Melton Hill Lake, 27 min to Windrock Park.
Hillside Retreat is a one-of-a-kind urban retreat in popular Hardin Valley. Perched on a hill and tucked away on beautifully wooded acreage, you truly feel you're away from it all--but you're not! Everything is close by. Secluded yet convenient.
There are two levels, each with its own living area, kitchen and sleeping quarters. The upper level has a new, 12x32 deck which is perfect for gathering with friends, family or group getaways. There is also a smaller deck in the back, a porch just outside the lower level living area and a fire pit; so plenty of places to spread out. An outdoor shed houses extra chairs for the fire pit and several outdoor games for your use. High speed 1-Gig internet with fast upload and download speeds is provided. Although internet speed is not guaranteed, see recent speed test photo .

King bedroom with 50 inch Roku TV
Full bath with bathtub/shower which also houses the W/D
Fully equipped kitchen with quartz counter tops
Dining area with glass top table & high chair
Bar area with seating for three
Living room with queen sleeper sofa and 70 inch Roku TV
Electric fireplace for ambience or extra heat
Door to stairs leading to lower level can be locked, if desired
Access to large deck with partially wooded view, gas grill & outdoor dining table with seating for six.
LOWER LEVEL DETAILS
Accessible from outside at ground level--no steps
King bedroom with 50 inch Roku TV
Queen bedroom with 30 inch TV
Full bath with shower
Living area with queen sleeper sofa and 70 inch Roku TV
Kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, Keurig coffee maker
Hillside Retreat is easily accessible to major roads, including Pellissippi Pkwy and Interstate 40, the main thoroughfare through Knoxville. Multiple restaurants and fast food places, such as Chick-fil-A, McDonalds, Domino`s Pizza, Salsaritas, Double Dogs, Food City grocery store and more are about 4 miles away. Only 10 minutes to Turkey Creek! Tons of shopping and restaurants.
The entire house is for your use during your stay with the exception of one owner's closet in the upstairs bedroom. Make yourself at home!
Please message the property manager, Paula.
Please note the main driveway up the hill is shared with our neighbor. Be careful not to block. Please do not drive or park on the grass.
Limit the number of cars on the lower driveway to 4. Use the upper gravel driveway for regular parking or overflow.
If firewood for the fire pit is present at the time of your stay, feel free to use it. Firewood can be purchased at nearby retail stores, such as Walmart & Food City.
If you use the outdoor games, please place them back in the shed overnight so they don't get exposed to rain or animals.
This area is home to lots of wildlife. Our lot is partially wooded and we are adjacent to a 22 acre wooded lot. You may see deer, raccoons, wild turkeys, large owls and other birds of prey. Keep an eye on smaller dogs when outside as owls can lift 2-3 times their body weight, so dogs up to 10 pounds are vulnerable.
No smoking inside the home
