About this property

This one-of-a-kind mid-century modern gem is on the National Register of Historic Places. Nestled on a wooded private lot, it has an open floor plan with a stone fireplace, marble floors, built-ins, and is only minutes from downtown. Called the Daniel House, this unique house was built in 1948 and is a wonderful example of mid-century modern architecture.

Uniquely built into a hillside from salvaged Quonset hut structural supports, the house is only 10 minutes to downtown Knoxville (and the stadium) but offers a lot of privacy due to the wooded lot. Guests will love the distinctive architectural features and its use of indigenous local materials, including the marble slab walls and floors. There is a Quenn-sized Tempurapedic bed in the master bedroom and also a queen in the guest bedroom. A 50" flat screen TV with DVD player, cable, and wireless internet is also provided. The house is complete with all amenities, including a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, and a garage for your car. Plus, when you arrive you will find plenty of soda, water, coffee, tea, and goodies awaiting you!

Wonderful stay

I have stayed in no less than 50 vrbo’s throughout the country and this place is an absolute gem for the Knoxville area. Minutes from everywhere, the home provides a unique space for entertaining, working or just simply relaxing. Daniel House with its updated utilities juxtaposed to its Warhol-ish design is the perfect dinner party setting. Saturdays next fall should be magical. If able, you should definitely plan your trip to Knoxville around DanielHouse’s availability. Five stars.

Unique house - great accommodations

The house is very special. It has lots of space and everything you need as a home away from home. My family enjoyed the fabulous design and attentive things the owner left for us. Everything worked out great.

Well located, unique and fun

I hoped that the house would be as interesting and fun as it looked in the photos and we were not disappointed. One of the most unique VRBO’s that I have stayed in. We were going to a football game at UT and it is very close and convenient to the campus. We had a lot of fun at the house and will stay again on our next trip to Knoxville. Candace was very responsive as we had a few questions when we arrived. Nothing came up where we needed her later, which was good news.
