About this property

Historic Haven at 4th and Gill

Experience Knoxville's historic downtown 4th and Gill neighborhood. This lovely historical home sleeps 6 and is ideal for couples, or smaller groups who want to be downtown. ☆ Be anywhere downtown in 5 min car ride ☆ Highway access 2 minutes away. ☆ Free Private Parking ☆ Washer/Dryer ☆ Walk to Coffee, breweries, and restaurants When you stay in the historical 4th and Gill neighborhood, you’ll enjoy walking past dozens of early 1900’s architectural homes. This downtown neighborhood shares many roads that lead directly to Knoxville entertainment and food districts. Our beautifully restored rental was constructed in 1899 by well known historical architect, George Barber! Those of you who love historic homes will enjoy the original aspects of the home that we were able to retain throughout the restoration process. Original hardwood floors, stained glass windows, fireplace mantle, pocket door, door knobs and hinges... Post renovation, you will find the space to be a good mix of old and new, tastefully updated with modern touches and amenities. Still, we love to daydream about all of the life that has been lived in this home over the last century! Although this home is a duplex, both entrances are completely private with no shared spaces, so all mentioned areas will be available just for you. The duplex has an upstairs unit and a downstairs, ground floor unit. You are currently viewing the ground floor unit. All rooms in the home let the natural sunlight in, which makes for peaceful mornings and presents a charming ambiance when getting ready for an evening out. Of course you can always close the curtains for those moments when you feel like taking a power nap or sleeping in :-) There are 2 bedrooms with a total of 3 queen beds , with top-quality mattresses, pillows, and linens to provide you with the greatest nights of sleep. You’ll also find plenty of storage space to unpack and hang your clothes. In the living room, you’ll also find a comfortable couch. In front of the sofa, you’ll find the Flat-screen TV ready to connect to any of your favorite, personal streaming applications, making it the perfect spot to have some popcorn and plan a fun movie night. The cozy kitchen is equipped with all the necessary amenities to cook all your meals, from the simplest breakfasts or snacks, to elaborate gourmet dinners. Stainless steel appliances include a refrigerator, stove with oven, and microwave. All the necessary kitchenware and tableware provided along with some spices to make your cooking easier. A lovely dining table with chairs works perfectly to enjoy your meals together while contemplating what else the day might bring. And, if you are coming to Knoxville for work or need to do some work while traveling, there is high speed wifi ready to connect from anywhere in the home. Finally, the 2 elegantly remodeled full bathrooms are fully equipped with the necessary toiletries. The mast bathroom contains a shower, and the hall bathroom contains a clawfoot tub, complete with shower installation. You’ll find a washer and dryer convenient for your laundry needs, and an iron and ironing board is available, as well. You will have access to the entire first floor of the home.

Could have used a few more coffee supplies for the 5 day stay. The toilet in the small bath runs some. We loved the house and had a great stay.

Thanks again for staying with us! Our check in message states that we only offer a starter supply of coffee, creamers and other amenities. I am sorry if there was any confusion! And we will get our maintenance team to check on the toilet as soon as our current guest checks out. I appreciate you letting us know about that. I hope we can host you again sometime, Sharon! Take care!

It’s a beautiful old house, with nice upgrades, but the wood and high ceilings cause all noises to echo and are more easily heard all around house to include upstairs people who decided to walk around all night — I mean ALL night — and we had big event next day, it wasn’t great. Then the train runs all night. That wasn’t good for us. If you value quiet, this might not be for you. Other than that—great value. Neighborhood is a little sketchy, but to be expected in a college town where houses are in all different areas around the college. Overall, we liked the place-just couldn’t deal with the noise.
Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Aug 2026
I am very sorry the guests above were noisy. If I had known, I would have reached out to them to remind them of quiet hours. We do mention the train in the listing description and offer QR codes to a sound machine app to assist with outside noise. As you mentioned, in the city things keep moving, but we rarely get complaints about the train. Perhaps it was busier than usual that night. The home is in a historic neighborhood known as 4th and Gill. The homes are over 100 years old, most well kept, with new development here and there. It's a great neighborhood, but may not be what you are used to. I hate that you didn't enjoy your stay, Celeste. We were glad to host your time in Knoxville, regardless.

Host was very communicative and easy to work with, especially for a special request we had at the end of our stay. Location is great - walkable to downtown and UT. Or an even quicker car ride. Beds are super comfy!Only thing I would mention as more of a “be aware of” is that it’s a very old building and being that we stayed on the bottom floor unit, we could hear everything and anything above us. Not the end of the world or anyone’s fault, but just something to note!
