Room in a home

Your own room in a home, plus access to shared spaces.
We are NOT in Knoxville. We're 30 minutes from West Knoxville, 45 minutes from UTK, and 90 minutes from Pigeon Forge and Dollywood. It’s a single family home in a quiet neighborhood.
Your room is the home’s master bedroom with an en-suite shower.We strive for extreme cleanliness. ALL soft things are changed, washed, and disinfected between guests. The mattress is encased in plastic. The whole room is thoroughly cleaned between guests.
It's a quiet area and just minutes away from Melton Lake.

The space
Whether you're a couple in town visiting family, attending the local regattas, visiting/working at the Oak Ridge National Labs, or just enjoying our historic small town, we provide a comfortable, clean, safe place to stay.
You’ll have a queen bed with a memory foam topper. There is a mini fridge, small coffee maker, and a microwave in the room. There is a small dining table with two chairs in the room if you need a place to work. We provide a television (housed inside the closet) with an Amazon Fire Stick, for the times when you just want to relax in the room. Of course, we have a functioning household and have the typical noises as a result. If you need something, just ask! We try to make you as comfortable as we can.

Guest access
We have a nice living room on the same level. Most of our family stuff is done downstairs, so you shouldn't be bothered much. We have a lovely deck off the dining room overlooking a quiet backyard. There are lots of birds and squirrels scampering around out there. It's very peaceful!

During your stay
We will be here if you need us, but we won't bother you. If you need anything, please feel free to contact us! We want you to enjoy your visit!

Other things to note
1) Please, no smoking or vaping!

2) Please apply any perfume or cologne outside the home (we have some nasty allergies).

Lives in Oak Ridge, Tennessee
Both of us are teachers. Quiet, and a little nerdy, we enjoy our TV time in the evenings. Vidal spends much of his time in his office, studying, while Jackie is mostly downstairs with Lucy (Yorkie) and Grayson (cockatiel). Our college age son lives with us and has young adult work hours, so he’s home, on and off, through the day and evening.
