The boat was better than advertised. Accommodations were excellent. Beds were fantastic. Everything was spotless. Kim was a fantastic host and immediately responsive to any questions or messaging. Hanging out on the upper deck in the sun with the radio playing looking out over the river was awesome. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Kim Ross

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Kim Ross. I am a local owner, and I am committed to providing you with a clean, safe, and enjoyable stay on my houseboat! I have put a lot of thought into making this place a comfortable, unique, and memorable stay.
Whether you are here for a getaway, a UT sporting event, UT graduation, or other event--I want your stay to be relaxing and memorable!

Why they chose this property

The boat is located in Volunteer Marina, a family friendly place just a short, easy walk to UT sports and downtown Knoxville.

What makes this property unique

You are literally ON the water. Staying on a houseboat is more than a place to sleep---it's an experience! You will enjoy peaceful water views, fresh air, and the relaxing "lake life" vibe the moment you step aboard. From morning coffee on the back deck or covered full length top deck-maybe watching the sunrise, to evening dinner and relaxing-watching the sunset. There is also plenty of interior space to relax, watch tv, or play board games. This is a one-of-a-kind stay that you won't get in a hotel or house.
