About this docked boat rental

*** Boat cannot be moved from the slip*** Spectacular houseboat
Newly renovated!
Enjoy a stay at downtown Knoxville walkable to Neyland Stadium, Thompson Boling Arena, Civic Coliseum, and all that downtown offers! (Please note...boat cannot be moved)
Enjoy the natural scenery and the tranquility of the Tennessee River while being close to all the action! This newly renovated houseboat offers 4 staterooms with 1.5 bathrooms.

My goal is a 5 star review with this beautifully renovated 70' Sumerset houseboat! Everything was touched from ceiling to floors to offer guests an amazing experience that is better than home! The updated kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless appliances, Keurig and drip coffee maker with special touches at every turn. The main living area (salon) has reclining leather furniture and a 55" smart TV. The master bath and guest bath have both been updated with granite countertops, new fixtures, tile floors, and plenty of amenities.
The rooftop deck has two easily accessible entrances (forward and aft) for watching all the beauty of the Tennessee River. Enjoy dinner with family and friends while taking in a panoramic view of the water. (You can't get that with a condo downtown!)

The boat is located adjacent to the other one that I have available at the gated Volunteer Landing Marina which is known for it's central location and family oriented, friendly residents.
***Swimming is not permitted from the boat or within 100 yards of the marina per TN State law.
***Please note: NO parties or large gatherings, loud/obnoxious behaviors are permitted on the vessel. Boat is to remain docked and cannot be moved by guests.

The marina is within walking distance to Neyland Stadium, Thompson Boling arena, Lindsey Nelson Stadium, Civic Coliseum, 2 adjacent restaurants, and the University of Tennessee. Pontoon rentals are available at the marina.
The extensive Knoxville greenway is adjacent to the marina and is an excellent location for walking, running, and dog walks.
***Pets are permitted with pre-approval only. They must be flea/tick free, not permitted on the furniture or bedding, completely house trained, and not left alone on the boat unless crated and nonbarking. The pet fee is $150 per pet, per stay, maximum two pets, depending on size.
The accommodation may not be suitable to young children and parents are strongly encouraged to ensure they are closely monitored.

Booked this houseboat for my dad and it exceeded all expectations! The 360 views were absolutely stunning, making it a unique and peaceful place to unwind. Despite being a boat, it never felt cramped—plenty of room and all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The location was central and convenient, with everything just a short distance away. Communication with the host, Keener, was smooth and responsive, making the entire experience easy from start to finish. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for something special and memorable!

My friends and I stayed at the houseboat for a wedding in Knoxville. We had a great experience at the houseboat and it was in a great location to walk into town. Overall, we had a fantastic time.

We had 5 Guys over 50 in Town playing in a 50 and over softball tournament. The Boat was close to the park we had an awesome time. One guy even sleep on the top where there is a huge sitting area. We will be back to stay here when we come back.Thanks

Loved this houseboat experience. Nicely appointed and the location is ideal to access the university and downtown Knoxville. Wished we knew about these boats when we were visiting in prior years!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house boat on the Tennessee River. We lucked out and enjoyed unseasonably warm February temps. The houseboat was charmingly decorated and very clean. Worth mentioning that the walk from the Marina parking spaces to the houseboat is an approximate 5 minutes. My husband and I didn't mind this at all, as we enjoy walking. The host provides a rolling wagon to shuttle your items to and from. Be mindful of your hot water usage if you are having back to back showers as the hot water runs out quickly, but also seems to replenish quickly. We also really enjoyed the city! So clean! The host was quick to respond to our inquiries. Plenty of towels included. Quiet, peaceful night sleep in February. Highly recommend staying on this house boat for a truly unique experience.
