A unique place to stay!! Great Decor inside and as many others have noted, the party deck up top was fantastic. We did have an issue with the head that rendered it useless for the first day but the host bought us dinner and drinks to make up for it. It was an issue with the Marina and not the owner. Check it out as an alternate to a hotel in downtown. It was fun.
The houseboat provided a unique place to stay for a guys weekend in Knoxville. The houseboat was very clean and well stocked in case you forgot anything. Use of the golf cart is a definite plus for loading and unloading cars from the parking area.
First time in Knoxville and first time living on a Houseboat. Had an amazing weekend, just wish the weather would have cooperated a little better. Great location, close to downtown
This worked well for us as a group of 4. Boat quarters are a bit cramped for sleeping but sprawling for hanging. We spent less time on the boat then we thought we might have because we were out at concerts/ shows most of the day. This would be a great spot for a single family who has a plan to cook rather than eat out and wants to be able to walk into town. The upsides were the stocked kitchen, ample television screens, and relative cleanliness. The downsides were that the boat is docked under a very functional hood which makes it a little dark in living room and kitchen, but great on the porches. The hosts were amazing and everything we could've asked for! Thank you to Fonz and the marina crew including the very friendly James!
I really enjoyed my stay at this property. It was very convenient to the Riverwalk and a variety of local restaurants. I had to communicate with the owner about one thing and he was immediately available and very patient.
We found the houseboat exactly as described, with all the amenities you would want for a restful vacation on the water. Everyone in the family had a lot of fun, and we would definitely recommend this property to our friends.
Thank you!
The actual boat was nice, and the upper deck is great! Owner was very quick to respond. The surrounding environment could be better. There was an odd smell outside that got into the living room area and several other boats were dumping garbage into the water. One didn't see my daughter and splashed her. We decided to cut our stay short by a night.
Had a great time exploring all that Knoxville has to offer. Great time searching for our retirement home with our family. Canât wait to go back again
Wife and I always wanted to stay on a houseboat, and this one was a great way to to set the tone for the unique experience. Overall the houseboat, amenities, and location were terrific!
Had a great weekend visit with my daughter. Fonz was very accommodating and responsive. It was a very chilly weekend, would love to come again when the weather is warmer to enjoy the deck!
Weâve been traveling for a month and this was our most memorable place coffee on the Stern in the sun watching college teams rowing and some friendly geese came by for snacks
We really enjoyed our stay on the Moonlight Madness houseboat! It was very well furnished and maintained, and we really enjoyed being able to use the golf cart, paddle board, and kayaks. It was a perfect place to spend the long holiday weekend and much more fun than a hotel!
We recently hosted a small graduation celebration on the houseboat, and it was perfect! The boat is beautifully maintained and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable and memorable stay. Being right on the river added a unique and special touch which everyone enjoyed.
The living spaces were clean, cozy, and well-equipped, making us feel right at home. The outdoor deck provided stunning views and was the ideal spot for our gathering.
Fonz was a fantastic host â super responsive and accommodating.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable experience!!!
Our daughter played soccer for the University of Tennessee. We make several trips out to cheer on the Volunteers. We love the Knoxville area and the Volunteer Landing Marina. This location is absolutely perfect. We can walk to everything from Downtown to Neyland stadium. Not to mention Ruths Crists Steakhouse, which is steps from our boat.
We wanted something other than a boring hotel room or a small stuffy condo. The boat is awesome with the newly renovated interior and huge party decks. We can kayak off the back of the boat and paddle to Calhoun's on the river. Houseboat living is unique and charming. This boat has never been smoked on or in.
Water access, great location and very safe and secured marina with onsite staff. Full time on-site Marina Manager to assist you with anything you need. Secured and gated docks.
