About this property

Cozy Vintage Yacht -- Walk to Neyland +Free Parking

Climb aboard this cozy 32′ vintage cabin cruiser and enjoy beautiful river views, outdoor seating, and easy access to downtown Knoxville!

The main sleeping area is a unique V-shaped bed at the bow on the boat that comfortably sleeps two adults. A curtain separates this area from the rest of the cabin for privacy.

Additional sleeping spaces include a convertible futon and a convertible dinette, each slightly larger than a twin, suitable for one adult or child.

You’ll also have a kitchenette stocked with a mini-fridge, microwave, hot plate, toaster, and coffee maker. A stocked coffee bar, pots & pans, spices, and a variety of cooking utensils ensure you'll have all the essentials ready for you!

The bathroom is a compact but thoughtfully equipped wet-head-- where the shower and toilet share one efficient space. To make your stay even more comfortable, we provide biodegradable body wash, shampoo, and conditioner—perfect for freshening up while also being gentle on the water and environment.

Please Note: Parking is about a 10-minute walk from the dock. Pack light and enjoy the riverside stroll — it’s part of the charm!

Amenities You’ll Love:

- Front deck seating — the perfect spot for morning coffee or sunset views
- Fast Wi-Fi and smart TV, ready to sign into your favorite service to watch the game or movies
- Air conditioning & heating
- Compact galley for simple meals
- Steps from Knoxville’s riverwalk, Neyland Stadium, and Market Square

The Location:

Volunteer Landing Marina is in the heart of Knoxville. Walk to restaurants, bars, and Market Square, or head to Neyland Stadium to cheer on the Vols. On game days, you’ll be right in the middle of the Vol Navy energy!

- Travelers looking for something more memorable than a hotel
- Small families or groups of friends wanting a floating adventure

Why Guests Love It:

This isn’t just a place to sleep — it’s a floating Knoxville experience. Whether you’re here for football, a riverfront getaway, or to explore downtown, this vintage cabin cruiser offers a stay you’ll never forget.

Check-out instructions

The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
Gather used towels
Remove leftover food and drinks
Turn off the lights, lock the doors and return the keys
Please turn off the air conditioning. This control is next to the stairs, just twist the third dial all the way to the left!
Please make sure to leave the parking pass on the TV stand when you are finished with your stay!
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.
No taking the boat out of the slip, and no swimming within 100 feet of the marina docks (this is a marina rule!)
DO NOT flush anything except natural waste and toilet paper in the toilet. It will really mess up the plumbing, which will in turn mess up your stay!

I enjoyed this unique stay! Excellent location, convenient walk to Neyland Stadium, and in a safe area with restaurants nearby. I loved being right on the river with stunning views and the opportunity to see some nearby wildlife from the dock. The yacht was cute, clean, comfortable, and functional - very steady and hardly any rocking from waves. The host was friendly, communicative, and accommodating. Will definitely stay here again!

Hi, I'm Lauren! My husband and I are both originally from the Chicago suburbs but moved to Knoxville more than 10 years ago. We had the unique opportunity to work at a bed & breakfast early in our marriage, so hosting on VRBO has been a dream of ours!

Why they chose this property

We love Knoxville! It's a great size to explore, with plenty to do downtown, lots to see, and great places to eat!

What makes this property unique

When else will you have a chance to sleep on the water of the Tennesee River? We think our place is a charming, cozy stay perfect for a small group of friends, a small family, or a romantic weekend away!
