Welcome to my West Knoxville home . Perfect location for your family and friends to gather with easy access to shopping, eating and let's not forget Tennessee sports. With simple access from the interstate to put you within 8 minutes from downtown knoxville or less than 5 minutes to a shopping experience of west town mall. This is also perfect for those who looking for alternative means to get around without having to drive.to travel through Uber or Lyft without having to pay for expensive prices. I would recommend this option especially if you coming in for a sporting event at the university of Tennessee.

The house comes with basic amenities such as. Keyless entry. washer and dryer. Brand new refrigerator. One and half bathroom with walk-in shower and office space for work (those staying longer than 4 weeks). Free access to the Wi-Fi high speed internet. Hulu tv. The house has central heat and cooling. Hard wood floors with carpet in the living room only. Perfect for a traveling family’s, travel nurses or just weekend getaway to enjoy East Tennessee.

*** the office will be locked unless requested for use for those who are staying a month or longer

*** inclement weather conditions*** Please plan accordingly. I do understand travel can be a headache at times and things do happen especially with the weather. With that being said. The cancellation policy will be held up. Things such as weather, cancellations of flights or road emergency, are out of my control. I am very quick to keep you updated before arriving especially in the winter months. I will make the adjustments and add extra discounts to work with you.

It was a good location for our family. We were close to two other homes of friends we wanted to spend time with during the holidays. There was a very nice park nearby, and plenty of stores and restaurants. The owner even had a Christmas tree there waiting for us! Very clean and comfortable, had everything we needed! Thank you, we enjoyed our time there.

Our family enjoyed our stay in Edwin's house. It was comfortable, clean, had ample amenities, spacious, and a great location for everything you might want to do in Knoxville. The property description was a bit confusing. Read the fine print carefully. The office is only available for use if you rent for one month. So, it really only sleeps four adults in two bedrooms rather than the listed occupancy of five. There was an air mattress and a sofa for additional sleeping. Overall, the home and location worked well.

Cute house that was close to everything. The host was awesome. The coffee pot stopped working and he went and bought a new one and put it in the garage for us so he wouldn’t disturb us. Definitely will stay there again.

Our short stay here was great! The house had everything we needed for the weekend and even a small gift when we first arrived. Easy entry, clean house, and really appreciated the water dispenser in the kitchen. Would stay here again when we come back to Knoxville.

Property was perfect for staying for a Vols football weekend. Needs some updates but does the job well. Place was very clean and AC works great. Was in a good neighborhood and felt very private. Definitely staying at this property again!

Very much enjoyed my stay here. Edward, the host is fantastic! I had everything I needed. Three top things to mention: I love the water filter! I drink a lot of water and that ice cold water on demand was amazing. I loved the roar of the cicadas at night. And the television!!! OMG!!! Less than a $10 Uber to Neyland. I honestly wish I owned this home. Love it!!!!

There were zero issues checking in or out. Not only did Edward answer all the questions I had, he also looked out for us. He contacted me to let me know about a storm system moving in and how to prepare and what to expect. The place was great and he kept in contact. I would definitely recommend him and his place to all!!!
