SoKno Wilderness House

Minutes away from the Downtown and UT, and just steps up the street from a trailhead for Ijams, Wilderness House is a nicely appointed, remodeled home surrounded by wooded Tennessee beauty in the hip South Knoxville neighborhood. Take off out your front door for a hike or a day of mountain biking, enjoy some cold beers around your backyard fire under the trees and stars, or explore the local breweries and restaurants of Knoxville’s urban food and dining scene only a short drive away.

Airy, spacious, and full of natural light from the bright and wooded surroundings. From the kitchen and dining area with granite-top bar through three beautifully appointed bedrooms with sleeping for up to 8, to the downstairs rec lounge complete with foosball, ping pong, and space for entertaining, this SoKno cottage is the perfect getaway. Steps from nature, and moments from the best Knoxville has to offer.

You will have compete access to the whole house. This well appointed 3 bedroom 2 bath house has it all. There’s tons of room to spread out and sleep even more people in the basement. Watch football or Netflix on the huge smart TV. Enjoy a game of foosball and ping pong or chill around the backyard fire pit with your family and friends.

Great place to Stay!
Our stay was awesome and the owners/property managers were so great to work with! When we got to the property there were no chairs around the fire pit outside. I messaged them and let them know that was an amenity we were planning to use and at some point chairs were delivered! I Would definitely stay in another one of their properties. Clean and responsive! Thank you for an amazing stay.

Great for families
This house is great for families. The teenagers enjoyed having their own space in the finished basement as the parents hung out in the kitchen/family room.

No hot water and other things
The listing photos make this property look amazing. It really was a beautiful flipped house at one point. Unfortunately what the other reviewers stated was true. I could have probably dealt with the slimy shower curtain, broken backyard furniture, and chirping fire alarm but NOT the lack of hot water. We sent 2 in app emails, made 2 phone calls and emailed the addresses in the binder on counter. When we were finally emailed back, not even a call, we were told they couldn’t get a hold of anyone to fix it. We never took a warm shower and there were 4 of us for 3 nights. Another item of consideration, if you plan to rent this for UT games, Uber doesn't want to come this far to pick you up. All said and done, the compensation for no hot water was LESS than the cost of 1 night stay. :( I am not one to write reviews but decided this time was warranted.

Beautiful style and only 12 min. from the heart of the city!
So the huge pros are that the house style is VERY nice and welcoming. The beds were REALLY comfortable which is rare to find! And of course being able to meet up with family in the city only 10-12 min. away very easily was a HUGE plus. The biggest downfall we found was that while the house appeared clean at first, we quickly found that it was actually VERY dirty/dusty in that we actually had to sweep and vacuum - esp. The rug. All plants in the house were covered in dust. The vents in bathrooms and living room are quite filthy which you may want to address. The whole place really needed a good mopping. I believe someone actually did mention this before in a review saying that it was surface clean but not deep cleaned. I did bring all this (the dust, vents, etc) to the owners attention. Esp. if they are paying a cleaning company who is not doing their job! Re: thermostat- when the air is on, the basement literally becomes freezing cold unless you turn heat on... which is a shame because the basement is HUGE and really awesome with games & tv is but we sadly did not spend much time down there due to the cold and not wanting to make the house hot with heat. Also be aware that the thermostat seems to default to different settings I'm guessing at different times of the day? During the night it would often get really hot. I kept thinking my husband was turning if off really early in the morning because it was too cold since he is up by 430 but found out the day before leaving that he hadn't been doing that so it wasn't necessary to then ask the owner about it. From the standpoint of suggestions after being a family of five staying there I would say that having a larger table would be VERY beneficial. Grabbed one of the living room chairs to pull up to the table for three of us and set up two of us at the bar table. (in the pics it shows 3 bar table seats but it is now only 2) It was a little tricky to additionally have our daughter and son in law over for dinner though we made it work. A larger trash can would be a great idea too! Other things to be aware of for the kitchen are that there is no toaster and we noticed the Teflon pots and pans are peeling pretty bad. We always bring our own large skillet to cook in and a good kitchen knife since we always find vacation house to be lacking lol Overall though, a pretty good stay and I just like to make sure families esp. are aware of the details I would've wanted to know when deciding on a house!

Not impressed…
The location was good but the property lacked some details. There was NO TV on the main floor…only one in the basement which had no directions & we NEVER figured out how to use it. The exterior & landscape is not up to standards - the yard needed mowed & it just left a lot to be desired. The curtain shower in the main bath was molded on the inside, there was NO TOILET PAPER in the main bath & NO TOWELS!!! I had to go hunting throughout the house for both. I do not plan to rent this property again.

This was the first time using VRBO and I didn't know how to get the address and code for the property. Overall the place was okay to stay at. I loved how the house had been updated; however some of the fixtures were not attached well. But it served our purposes

Four sisters met to do a holiday exchange. The house is surrounded three side by bamboo. It was Zen to look out the window. Close to town.
