Amazing country oasis

We had a wonderful stay at the yellow tea cup cottage. The horses surrounding the property were a huge hit for our kids, lots of space for our dog to run, and the sounds of chickens next door was perfect. The house is well appointed/decorated and provides everything you need - bathroom products, plenty of cleaning supplies, and fully stocked kitchen. Only downside was it’s not close to any conveniences (grocery store, etc) and it’s on the flight path. But for us, it was totally worth it!

Four Stars but Not Five

Lovely, peaceful setting in a charming old house convenient to Knoxville and Maryville. Good choice for family with 2 BR's and bath upstairs, if needed. Well-stocked, modern kitchen and nice outdoor patios, grill, and firepit. Overall very nice but these suggested improvements would make it a 5-star property: A welcome call or check from owner would have been nice. When we called asking, "Where is the hot tub/whirlpool spa as advertised?" host said there was neither, then promptly corrected the property description online--but offered not even token consideration for missing a key amenity that caused us to choose this property over all others. (Dealing with VRBO directly was a vacation-waster. It took 2+-hours on the phone for company's agent in Cairo, Egypt to finally extend a very small credit.) Also, property could use a little more attention to detail: * no laundry detergent * no instructions for TV use of various remotes, most of which needed batteries which were provided after we called. * Nicer toiletries, i.e. bath soap, shampoo, and a hair dryer that blows more than a whisper would be appreciated by all guests. Property was well-cleaned and Ukrainian housekeeper was a delight to meet.

Charming and relaxing

We enjoyed our stay here so much! We loved getting to feed the horses and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Farm life at its best! We didn’t want to have to leave! Will definitely rent again and recommend to others. Easy drive to nearby Maryville or Knoxville. It was a great getaway and I’m so glad we found it!
