Top Gateway Regional Visitor Center Hotel Reviews

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!"

Cumberland House Knoxville, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed here a few times and will continue to stay again. It’s always perfect and the staff is amazing."

Pier D Lite 4 bdrm Houseboat on River Downtown Knoxville - walk to Univ. of TN

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing experience on Pier D Lite! Host was attentive to all questions and could not have had a better time with my Fam. Walking distance from the Stadium, downtown, shopping, etc. We will return!"

Docked Houseboat · Rooftop Bar · Walk to UT and Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The rental is as advertised. Super fun sleeping on the river. The host was excellent at communication, making sure your stay was outstanding. I will definitely come back."

Docked Houseboat · Rooftop Bar · Walk to UT and Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay with this host at the second of their two houseboats and we were equally happy with both stays. The properties were spotless and exactly as advertised. Plenty of room to relax and enjoy the serenity of the river. The boats are extremely well stocked with everything we could need. Much more fun and private than a condo or hotel room. We will definitely be staying again."
