10/10 Excellent

The Albatross-Houseboat DT Knox

10/10 Excellent

"The boathouse is in a roof over marina that helped keep the heart down when sitting up on the deck. While many other boats, there wasn't many people coming and going. The inside was clean and efficient as one would expect s large boat to be. We only stayed one night but was very nice and within walking distance from downtown restaurants, etc"

Cozy Vintage Yacht -- Walk to Neyland + Free Parking

8/10 Good

"Lauren was a great host. Super communicative and more than willing to assist us in the event that there was no parking. Just a heads up for big gameday weekends - parking was not available in the Ruth Chris paid spots and the marina lot was full. This left us scrambling to find parking for an already busy/full gameday weekend. While this probably wasn’t a normal weekend, just plan for backup parking in case it happens again. Both Lauren and her husband were great in trying to help us find alternatives. Be prepared to walk and pack light. Otherwise a very fun and unique stay. Would come back!"
