We will not be at the property, but my wife and I live close by and are available if you have any questions!

The schoolhouse resides in a quiet and peaceful community of caring neighbors. The neighborhood is right off main roads for easy access to downtown. You are also 5 minutes away from Target and Walmart if you need to pick anything up for your stay. The schoolhouse is only 10 minutes away from all that downtown and Old North Knox has to offer, but it may be nice for you to know that there is also a local Mexican restaurant (Habaneros) that we love just down the street.

Great little spot
We had a great time staying here. We knew it was an older building that had been renovated so our expectations were high.

Stay was okay.
Renovated school house provided some of the essentials for a comfortable stay. Overall the renovation was sub-par. It just feels like the bare minimum was done just to get by. Wifi did not work well for 6 adults with phones and laptops. I used my phone as a hotspot more than the wifi. The bathroom was small, especially the sink and the toilet. Comfortable seating was less than necessary for 6 adults. I recommend trashing the 2 barstools as they are very wobbly and unsafe. TV was okay. Beds were okay. Prior cleaning could have been better.

OK property but guests next door in duplex partied all night
The schoolhouse property itself is nice, although minimalistic supplies and furnishings. Unfortunately, it's a duplex and the people who stayed next door partied very loudly until 4:30 a.m. A little noise is fine, but this was ridiculous and it woke up the whole house. Not a lot you can do in this situation, but need to be aware that there are shared walls, the sound travels immensely and this may be a common rental for UTK game weekends. Would also recommend a bath mat as the bathroom floor is very slippery if water gets on it.

Not what we expected
The pictures of the property on the site compared to when we drove up, where not even close. We where aware of the new siding being installed a couple days before our check in, but the sidewalks/entry was cracked and the house was scarey from the outside. I believe they are trying to update the house,, but first impressions are important. If we hadn't been on the road for 12 hours and I wasn't so exhausted, I would have found another place to stay.. Neighborhood was run down, across the street they had a stove in the front yard! When we walked in, the house had a musty old smell on the main floor and the upstairs. The lights in the kitchen didn't work, so when I called the management company, they where very nice with suggestions, but nothing worked and sent out someone the next day. The house is advertised to sleep 10 people, yet there was not enough glasses, cups, or seating in the house for that many people. It barely had enough for the 5 of us.. The stairs where missing the top part of the railing and the bottom step was broken on the side. The beds, definitely where comfortable and they did supply all the linens and towels, which was a nice bonus. I was very disappointed with the house conditions and the area. Coming from out of state to move our kids into UTK, was our saving grace. We only slept and showered at the house. I feel like they are trying to update the house because the kitchen and bathroom where in great shape with new appliances, back splash and tile. But it really needs to be repainted inside and the start renting to people.
