Iâd like to start with wow! When I first walked in what I immediately noticed was this amazingly gorgeous furniture and impeccably clean house! No detail has been left out. From the wonderfully smelling soaps in the bathroom to the greeting in the kitchen, laundry room area! Uncle Ernieâs house is beautiful, warm, comfortable and incredibly inviting. You can feel the love in all of the details of this incredible home. This home is conveniently located to LMU and the Cumberland Gap. Monica is a very attentive host and let us know that there was a music event down the street from the house. I will definitely be returning the next time. I am visiting my daughter for a school event. And I plan to pre-book her graduation.
I think I would exceed the limit if I listed all the little details that make this place special. It was so clean, I questioned if we were the first visitors in this home. It was so unique but homey and so comfortable! Things were labeled so you didnât guess how something worked. Everything I couldâve needed was in this home. The best part was that this home was owned by Uncle Ernie and the way the owners honored him was so special. I felt like I knew him just by staying there. I canât say enough about this beautiful space. The hosts were great with communication and the special touches went above and beyond. I canât wait to stay again!
We stayed here for a graduation at LMU. Uncle Ernie's was one of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed in. It was clean, comfortable and convenient. The hosts have thought of everything to make your stay fantastic. Communication was top notch. I would book this every time I went if I still had a student at LMU.
The stay couldn't have gone better from contact and check in to check out. Questions were answered promptly. The house was an interesting combination of an historical kit house brought into the 21st century with some very nice upgrades. When I work in the area again, this is where I I'll be staying if available.
Uncle Ernie's place was immaculate and full of charming details. It was a unique home, unlike anywhere we've stayed. Monica's communication was excellent, making our stay smooth and enjoyable. Plus, the location was perfect. Highly recommend!
Our group had a wonderful time staying at Uncle Ernie's! Everything was neat, tidy, and felt like home. We definitely will be back next time we are in the area!
The host thought of everything in this very unique house, loved the black out curtains which makes me feel cozy and secure, I always need a fan to sleep and forgot mine, but they provided one in every closet, so I didn't have to buy one. We were already familiar with Middlesboro but if you're not it's a beautiful area to explore. Loved it
My daughter and I had two days/one evening in the Middlesboro/Cumberland Gap area. We found this Vrbo and liked it for a few reasons:- They were OK with a single night stay- Flexible with check-in time- Location was greatOverall the experience was good. The property is nice - 2 or 3 are very comfortable. 4 might have been a bit tight but likely would have still worked. It is right on a major road which made it easy to find, but getting in and out of the driveway was a bit of a challenge.Listing on VRBO was accurate and the hosts were helpful and responsive. We would stay here again.
Uncle Ernie's was amazing and beautiful! We enjoyed everything about our stay there. Monica and Terry were great host. We will definitely stay here again for our future visits.
Perfect! Owner was awesome and incredibly responsive. The house was immaculate and ideal for us. Wish we could have enjoyed the fire pit too but we were able to stay high and dry and cozy in the house and avoid the torrential downpours. There is even a nice covered area to get to the carport from the house. Neat historical home close to everything and we were honored to be the first VRBO customer. Thank you for a great experience. We will be back!
My husband and I were born and raised in Middlesboro, Ky. We currently rent to students attending Lincoln Memorial University Veterinarian and Medical School. This is our first and only VRBO. Still in our first year we are very open to suggestions that would make our guests more comfortable.
This house belonged to my great Uncle Ernest Wakin and Uncle Ernie's sister Louise. Uncle Ernie passed the house down to my husband and I. He loved people. Spent his very simple life taking care of others and visiting the patients in the Middlesboro Hospital every day. He loved company, so inviting people to stay at his home seemed appropriate and would make him smile. So, we didn't choose this neighborhood, it just happens to be in one of the greatest locations to stay in Middlesboro. Located 0.2 miles from the best steak in town. Shades Cafe and Steakhouse. Great Pizza at Ikeâs Artisan Pizza which is just up the street from Shades. Coffee Shop and great sandwich shop all within .9 miles from Uncle Ernie's. Need groceries? 1.3 miles straight ahead is a Food City.
Uncle Ernie's is a 1950s all enameled steel Lustron Home. These homes were designed to address the post-World War ll housing shortage particularly for returning veterans. Trying to keep with its unique mid-century modern aesthetics, we have decorated with a mid-century flare. Only 2,500 of these homes were built. It is an Historical Landmark. Until its remodel the first of 2025 there was nothing made of wood. Even the kitchen cabinets were made of steel. It's a very interesting and unique home.
