OMG! This is such a great place to stay! We love all the interesting decorations, and even after staying here 2 times, we are still finding items we didn't notice before. Doug and Cathy go way beyond what a VRBO host is expected to do. From the candies on the dresser, to even providing laundry soap for the washer/dryer. If you are checking out this place, check out their other available VRBO on the same property - Toad Hill.

Antique Furnished Cabin
The Barn @ Toad Hill was a great mix of unique, mordern, & vintage decor and appliances. Doug & Kathy were very accommodating when our plans changed last min for a family reunion and we ended up having my 6 year old neice tag along. We are very thankful for our stay on this dead end road and cant wait to return next year! The bed was comfy, the fan was cold and the shower was steamin! Plus they had embroidered robes! We felt so pampered in the cabin, we cut out early on our family reunion to netflix in the bedroom with that giant TV thats angled at you. Thanks for your hospitality! 10/10 recommend for 1 or two people looking for a quite getaway, ten min from the hustle & bussle of Knoxville.

Absolutely amazing weekend! The house was so cozy and relaxing, the property is gorgeous and quiet, and the porch is perfect for listening to the rain and enjoying the fireflies. We couldn’t have asked for better hosts, the Wilhites are the sweetest! Thank you so much!

Tiny barn getaway
The neighborhood was quiet which is a huge plus for me. The house was clean (the shower and bathroom area were beautiful) and the bed was super comfy. Everything was adequately described in the booking as it was when I arrived. Communication with host was timely and respectful. Host was absolutely amazing. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Gem Just Outside Knoxville
A quick and breezy drive from downtown Knoxville, the barn is absolutely PERFECT if you’re looking for a unique and cozy place to stay with be plenty of character. The location is tucked off the main road in a quiet residential area, which is lovely if you’re a walker - very safe and protected no matter what time of day!
While my visit didn’t allow me to meet the hosts in person, their communication was timely, kind, reliable, and incredibly helpful. As a former Knoxville resident who travels back regularly to visit friends, I’ll absolutely look here first for future stays! I can’t recommend this location enough!

Great Basecamp
A comfy, convenient basecamp with lots of character and just right amenities. I came into town for a Bronco Off-Roadeo event in Maryville, and surrounding visits to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Cherokee, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Knoxville. Set in a small residential neighborhood with large greenbelt lots and near the airport and highways, noise wasn't an issue with heating/air systems, nice touches like coffee and snacks, spa-like bathroom and robes, king bed, peekaboo views, and a responsive property owner. Enjoy!
Recently renovated and charming, the barn is perfectly situated close to great restaurants, the airport, and downtown Knoxville. Beautifully decorated and fully furnished, it features a king-size bed, a washer and dryer, a lovely front deck for relaxing, and an outdoor grill. Thoughtful touches, like his and hers terrycloth embroidered bathrobes, add to the comfort.
Doug and Cindy, my hosts, were exceptionally friendly, easy to reach, and wonderfully accommodating, making the stay even more enjoyable

We loved staying here! It was our first time in Tennessee and we were in town for a concert. Doug gave us great information and advice about the area which was greatly appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better location it was close to everything we wanted to see while staying. Great hosts and great property! Will definitely stay here again!

Perfectly appointed, beautiful and cozy for 2!
Doug was an awesome host, very attentive throughout with excellent and prompt communication from start to finish. The luxury barn had everything we needed and then some! We were always comfortable: the barn is cozy, loved the heated bathroom, individual floor thermostats, snacks, and even cream for coffee…seriously they’ve thought of everything! We will definitely stay here again and recommend to family and friends once we move to the area! Thank you Doug for the wonderful hospitality! It was beyond exceptional!!!

Vacation to Knoxville to visit my best friend
We had an absolutely amazing time at this property. It was in the perfect location, for us, to the city. And it was such a lovely property with amazing hosts. We definitely be staying here again when we visit! My pup even had a great time exploring the property. It was her first trip and she was comfortable/ happy. Thank you again Doug for your hospitality and tour! I have never had a host do that for me before. We loved your place!!☺️
