Experience luxury at this exclusive private residence in the heart of Downtown Knoxville, hosted by Ephant Group. Formerly Max Friedman's Jewelers, this 10,000 sq. ft. space exudes sophistication, featuring a hidden speakeasy with an original 1900s jeweler's vault door, stylish living areas, and a vast entertainment space. With private 2-car garage access and elevator service, every inch is crafted for comfort and exclusivity. More than just a stay it's an unforgettable experience.
I was there with other creator and business partners to attend a conference and absolutely enjoyed the space. We were the talk of the conference. It was absolutely beyond our expectations and the pictures are great but being there in the moment is what made it soooo worth it. The host was on point and addressed any and all of our issues. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to impress and stay in a very amazing and spacious as well as very well put together space. Thank you for hosting us this is our new space when we return.
A very professional and responsive experience. Kristiana was spot on with everyone of our last minute requests. The loft was obsolutely wonderful and was the perfect environment for a large family get together. We will book again if Kristiana is willing to tolerate us.John
We overall loved our stay in this home. It was very close to everything that we needed and we did not have to go far to do any activities. Our only concern were the number of stairs. Although it had an elevator indoors, it would have been nice to not have to deal with any stairs or a very slow elevator.
Our team was blown away by the space! They raved from the minute they walked inside. While we were close enough to walk to everywhere we needed to be, we had privacy and time to bond as a team since were not staying at the hotels with the rest of our convention participants. Everyone had a comfortable bed, and were excited to go home with clean clothes instead of having to laundry when they returned from our long, draining convention. We would definitely stay here again (and probably will)!
Stayed here for my dadâs celebration of life ceremony we had on the river close to Gay street. This place was great and everyone loved it, the only bad part was no freezer or ice on the main level otherwise the place was great!
This was more than perfect for our group of moms and teens celebrating prom. Plenty of space for teens to have their own spot and moms to be able to relax and have some wine. Beds were comfy and plenty! Only advice would be to add a freezer in the kitchen area. We brought food with us that needed to stay frozen and the only freezer in the basement was a little inconvenient. Also, the ice maker in the kitchen did not work so we had to get coolers of ice. Other than that, we were perfectly content! Had so much fun. And would love to rent again.
Absolutely stunning. The most spectacular property in the best possible location. Walking to Market Square for food and drinks is a breeze. The home itself is simply beautiful. So comfortable and lovely. The property manager is on point with communication and took care of anything we needed. 10 out of 10 for sure!
A condo full of old Knoxville history. Large, comfortable place with lots of things to do. Could use a bathroom nearer the three large bedrooms for those of us older renters. Overall I would rent it again.
Good, but given the price, should have been better!
Overall we had a good stay at Friedmanâs Loft. The location is very handy to many shops, restaurants, and the Market on the weekends. The Loft offers plenty of space that enables guests to spread out, but also has a very large kitchen and eating area for everyone. We liked the bedroom layout as it was very quiet and spacious. There are plenty of amenities at the Loft that you will find enhances your stay even though not everything was in working order. Unfortunately the two âcar garageâ was not usable to us as we had two SUVâs and there is a height restriction that only allow cars. (We realize that this is an older facility and making any changes would be pretty difficult). Also, the parking area just behind the Loft while convenient you had to be out by 04:45 AM the next day! We parked 3 blocks away in a Public Parking Lot and it worked out ok. We were also disappointed that the chair coverings were dirty, the "information book" was out updated and the pots/pans in the kitchen very "used". The biggest concern we had was the main hardwood floor was âbuckledâ at least 4 inches high and about 10 feet long & it was hard to get the main door open. Lastly, we tried many times to communicate with the Host and were getting very worried as we would not get any calls/texts back. We even contacted VRBO and they couldn't always reach them. This was very frustrating and not acceptable. We hope they make the appropriate improvements because it does offer a great location and amenities.
Church plant vision trip with a whole slee of us enjoying this beautiful home that sits right in the center of the heart of the city. Makes pretty much everything walkable.
While a beautiful space, the heaters in the property were unable to handle the cold temps outside. The heater on the Speakeasy didn't work - the room never got above 45°. And the master bedroom heater never got the room above low 60s.
I expected some type of discount. The manager/owner said no go. "Please accept our apologies. We hope you'll book with us again." Crazy.
Disappointing that they blamed the weather, but the renter has no such recourse. Good customer service would have extended some type of discount.
My family and I absolutely loved our stay at this home. The pictures do not do it justice on how stunning it truly is. The host was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend this property!
The Loft is absolutely stunning. We hosted an executive board meeting and dinner. Our guests said it was our best holiday dinner ever. I was impressed with the hostâs responsiveness and attention to detail. The amenities are amazing. I think the Friedman Loft will no longer be Knoxville!s best kept secret.
Wonderful propertyâŠwell decorated! Inconvenient parking options but thatâs to be expected with any downtown property as is the street noise/sirens. Fantastic communication with manager. Small inconvenience was the one bathroom on the 2nd floor for the three queen bedrooms.
We were above pleased with this loft! It is absolutely beautiful! It was exactly as listed. Emma was amazing to work with for our stay. She responded quickly and professional. 5 stars isnât enough for this amazing property. It is very convenient to downtown and has easy access. Highly recommend this property and we will definitely plan another trip to stay here.
I donât even know where to begin with how happy we were staying here. We had to book last minute, and we were coming into town for a funeral from Michigan. We had my family of 8 and my brothers family of 5 and this space was perfect for the adults, teenagers, and kids. It gave us the space we needed for our individual families as well as for us to be together during this difficult time. The communication with the property owner was always fast and helpful, we ran into no issues when we were there but check in, booking, inquiries, were all handled promptly and was some of the best customer service Iâve experienced. It meant a lot to our family that we got to all stay together during this time and I canât thank you enough for letting us stay.
Knoxville is an amazing town and these properties in which I have been entrusted to are in the heart of downtown Knoxville. I grew up here and am most excited to be sharing Knoxville with people from all over. There are always fun things going on in Knoxville. Market Square, the Old City, and World's Fair Park always seem to have something happening. And then there is always Tennessee football!
The Smoky Mountains, in all their splendor, are right outside our back door. Whether it's a hike in the mountains or a bike ride around Cades Cove, east Tennessee is one of the most beautiful places to visit, or even better, call home!
This property is within walking distance of shops, Delicious local restaurants, bars, and more! The coolest features of this property are: A hidden speak easy bar area that utilizes an actual vault door that was left behind from a jewelry store that used to occupy the building. Your own personal sauna and spay area. A pool table and poker table. And a small little area to get your workout in!
