When me and my wife travel, we usually stay in hotels. But when her mother travels with us, we lose our dogsitter, so we need to take our 2 mini dachshunds with us. If you've ever stayed in a hotel with 2 dogs, then you probably understand when I tell you that it isn't any fun. So, we default to places like this: pet friendly with a fenced in yard along with being clean and comfortable. This quaint little cottage checked all those boxes and then some! The host, Jaclyn, is the hostess with the most'ess! It's the small details that really pop on this one. The kitchen was well stocked with snacks and coffee (there was even soda in the fridge), she also had small treats for the dogs, and the bathroom toiletries were high quality. Everything was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Plenty of towels for everyone as well. Parking was great; it was literally right next to the gate so easy access. 10 steps and you're in the house. We drove to downtown Knoxville on numerous occasions, and it only took 15 minutes. The area was quiet, the host's house is the main house on the property so there weren't any other houses within ear shot. Jaclyn was very communicative, we texted back and forth even though there wasn't much to text about. We were 3 adults and 2 small dogs and we were very comfortable. The house isn't large so I wouldn't recommend putting too many people in here at once. But if you're a small group and traveling with pets, this is definitely a good house to go with. Probably one of the best we've stayed at. Highly recommend.
