Perfect Getaway Cottage

Yellow Teacup Cottage is perfect. There is plenty of parking, and getting in is so easy. The living room opens to the dining area and a gorgeous kitchen. So many windows to let in the sunshine and allow the scenery to be enjoyed from everywhere. The beds were so very comfortable, we all slept so well! Christie was such a considerate host, and very fast to respond to questions. I hope I get to stay here on a future trip, this is a wonderful property!

Peaceful Getaway

Traveled to Knoxville are for a family reunion. We choose the Yellow Tea Cup Cottage because it was a quite and peaceful retreat. The beauty and peace we experienced was priceless. Everything was wonderful, the horses, goats, birds, squirrels, chipmunks, and the beautifully decorated cottage! Plenty of room for our 2 families and my grandson loved the playroom. The property is gorgeous. The outside grounds are wonderful to spend time with your family. Our contact and communication with Christie was great! Christie was friendly and responded quickly. Definitely would stay again!
