Welcome to our cottage in historic Fountain City. It's very convenient with downtown Knoxville, Neyland Stadium, the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, and The University of Tennessee 10 minutes away. We are 8 miles from House Mountain. We're also close to Gatlinburg, Dollywood (36miles), and the Smoky Mountain National Park. Our cottage is one of five cottages built in the 1930s and 1940s by Miss Edith Stewart Miller from England. This cottage was the one she resided in and built her English rock garden. She was quite the character and never quit working and changing her home and garden. You now can come and enjoy her cottage and garden. The cottage has a well equipped kitchen with a great stove and griddle, washer and dryer, furnished front porch for lazy days and quiet evenings, and a fire pit which is great on crisp fall evenings and cool spring nights. We do have some firewood , but it is not a unlimited supply. Feel free to pick extra up at a home store or Kroger. The cottage is a small 1000 sq ft home, but perfect for 2 adults and 2 children and I will allow a infant as a 5th person, you can have 4 adults but it will get tight. Please let me know if you will be needing the trundle bed so I can have it pulled out for you. There is a pack and play available as well. I do not allow extra people on air mattresses or on the sofa. Thank you for understanding. There is no smoking or vaping of any kind inside. Outside only. If the cottage has been smoked in there will be a 350.00 fine. No pets and no parties or events. The entire cottage and garden We are available and would love to meet our guest, but also want to respect their privacy, so we will leave the amount of interaction to each guest. We have 24 hour check in so if you are arriving late send a message and I will have lights on. Quite often my husband and myself are working in the yard, we do try to keep it to a minimum if guest are around. All necessities are within a few blocks, downtown and UT are just 10-12 minutes away, yet you feel like you are in a small town. You can walk to several restaurants including Litton's, famous for burgers and fabulous baked goods. You can walk to Fountain City Park, or the heart shaped Duck Pond and feed the ducks. You will also need to go to Pratt’s Country store for your fresh produce, local jams,honey, cheese and bacon and some bakery items. 1/2 block from the bus line, Uber and Lyft The home has a key that will be left for you , so check in will be at your convenience.
