Unique and colorful, this retreat and it's original art has inspired the many artists, musicians, authors and nature-lovers who have stayed here. Enjoy the park like setting 12 min. from Airport, 15 min. from Univ of TN, 40 min. from Smoky Mountains. Your home away from home is lovingly maintained and scrupulously cleaned I have hosted hundreds of people and many artists and writers who have retreated at my place for inspiration. I have housed medical students in residency, families of students attending the University of TN, many folks nearing retirement looking for property in the area, traveling nurses, quarry consultants from Italy, millwork artisans, artists for FanBoy Expo in July, band members traveling to town to play, bands who have played at Big Ear's Festival in March, actors being filmed in area for movies, film makers, authors for writer retreats, artists for inspiration and local shows or attendees of Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts, business travelers, extended family visiting the area, stop overs for long distance travelers, production team members filming in the area, videographers, photographers, composer of an opera (I bought tickets and attended! He and his wife have come several times), honeymooners, spring/fall/winter break students, family reunions, friend reunions, even a cool eclipse chaser from England who told me how her Jewish parents met in a Nazi concentration camp in Poland! I have been so fortunate to host the most amazing people from ALL OVER THE WORLD to share their stories from their life journeys with me. I am so blessed to be a host. The Casteel Branch house is located beside a spring fed creek called the Casteel Branch in the foothills of the Smokies. Our yard is a park-like setting. Be sure to take time to enjoy the birds, sit by the babbling creek, rest in one of the hammocks, sit outside on the patio surrounded with shabby chic fairy lights, enjoy the moments you have here in tranquility. This listing is for a basement mother in law apartment that comfortably sleeps two, but could accommodate 5 people. I reside in home above this apartment. I have added a new oven, dishwasher, new task lighting in the kitchen. I have also added a new charcoal grill out on the patio. There is a very comfortable Queen mattress in the apartment bedroom with plenty of dressers. The queen bed has two Wheat Dreams Queen Pillows – 20” x 30” (Cotton Zippered Shell Filled with Organic Buckwheat – Made in USA) $100 each pillow ~ Pillow Tip: You can carve out a comfy little “ear hole” when you’re sleeping on your side / provides versatile, flexible support that conforms to your head and neck contours. Pillow is properly filled no more than 2/3 volume so there is room for shaping. Each is covered with a UltraPlush Premium Waterproof Pillow Protector – (Hypoallergenic and Bed Bug Proof Zippered Pillow Case in Super Soft and Quiet Queen 20”x 30”) $25 each pillow cover. I have tried to invest for your proper rest. I also added two Adjustable Foldable Bed Desks for Laptop, Reading and Writing. I have a small tv with a Smart DVD player in the bedroom. And I can provide up to 3 white waffled robes for added comfort. For cleaning during your stay, since I do offer monthly discount ~ I have provided a vacuum, broom, Swiffer, bar keepers friend, sanitizing wipes, toilet brush and cleaner, etc. We also have an iron and small ironing board in bedroom linen closet along with a counter top washing machine (bring your laundry soap) and I have clothes pins if you want to line dry items. Off of the bedroom is a closet nook with a single bed that has a touch of whimsy (a favorite of my 4 grown children and all of my college guests). I painted a mural of mountains on the walls of this room, added hot air balloon lights, and LED lights, and included a sleep machine, reading light, and a fan for a magical get away. The twin in this offset from main bedroom is small and packed with pillows cased in bright fantastical colored covers. In the sitting room there is a small retro chrome dining room set and one twin daybed with another twin trundle that rolls out into room. And I have a 43" 4K Ultra HD Smart Roku LED TV in the sitting room with Xfinity cable. There is one full bath and a small foyer area outside the bathroom with a large lighted mirror and a small dresser upon which you will find a hair dryer and curling iron. We have provided an initial supply of toilet paper along with a few extra rolls, but these may not be enough for your entire stay and you may need to purchase additional supplies. There is a small galley kitchen with small apartment sized refrigerator with small freezer, dishwasher, oven, microwave, coffee pot, plates, silverware, pots/pans, etc. for your use. I have cutting board, cookie sheets, pizza pan, pizza slicer, cake/muffin/pie pan, wok, crock pot, blender, colander, mixing bowls, etc. Paper towels and dish soap and coffee and filters are provided to get you started (maybe not enough for your entire stay)~ as well as spices and things left by other thoughtful guests. The basement patio is for you to enjoy. We have STRONG wifi. There are plenty of games and books for your leisure. Many guests have taken pillows and blankets and books out to enjoy the hammocks in the yard for a restful time. Outside on my lawn guests have had picnics, played frisbee golf, played games, lounged in the hammocks, had children play in the creek, and just really enjoyed being surrounded by nature. Bird watching is great from the patio too! We have a travel map for you to place a pin where you are from! You will be amazed to see how many travelers have found refuge at our place ~ they have brought their cosmopolitan flare from all over the world to our East TN home! I have added about 50 books on the greater Knoxville area and they are marked as my permanent collection to stay for all guests. You can read about the city, Cades Cove, Elkmont, The Walker Sisters, local history, Indian history of the area, about local logging and marble quarries, ghost stories, disappearances in the Smoky Mountains, books on hiking, local cook books, and biographical books. Also, I figured most would not go to Visitor Centers to purchase maps and information about Auto Tours of the Great Smoky Mountains. I have purchased these and labeled them to stay in my apartment for all guests to access (replacement fees will be as follows if missing after your stay), but for your planning purposes I have included these in a welcome bucket: \*Tennessee Treks: The Wayward Travelers Guide to Waterfalls & Back Roads of Tennessee (over 100 waterfalls, swimming Holes, Camping Spots, and Scenic Drives) ($10) \*Day Hikes In & Around Cades Cove/ Great Smoky Mountain National Park ($2) \*Newfound Gap Road (auto tour) Great Smoky Mountain National Park ($2) \*Roaring Fork (auto tour) Great Smoky Mountain National Park ($2) \*Tremont Logging History (auto tour) Great Smoky Mountain National Park ($2) \*Cades Cove Tour / Great Smoky Mountain National Park ($2) \*Clingmans Dome / Great Smoky Mountain National Park ($2) \*Great Smoky Mountains Trail Map ($2) \*Water-Falls of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park ($2) FREE ONLINE Cradle of Country Music Walking Tour of Knoxville (1 hour) Search: "things-to-do/tours/cradle-of-country-music" FREE ONLINE Knoxville History Driving Tours: Search: "Knoxville History Project Historic Knoxville Driving Tours" Civil War divided this area.

Many use metal detectors in and around the waterways to find relics from the Civil War around here. I do have a business license, remit taxes, and am properly insured. I have smoke alarms, fire extinguishers (One designated for kitchen and another in living room), in bedroom there is a fire Extinguishing Spray in Aerosol Spray Can, Stove Top Fire Stops, carbon monoxide alarm in the apartment.

Sep 13, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place Great place to stay. Peaceful, quiet neighborhood. Terrific host. This is our second time staying here; came back because the first visit was so positive. The lights strung in the trees around the patio create a marvelous atmosphere to sit out at night and listen to the crickets chirp. ##### Jesse A. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jesse A. Mar 18, 2019 #### Cozy, comfortable, & convenient This location is quiet, away from hustle & bustle, yet only 10-15 minutes to downtown, very convenient. South Knoxville is also the side of town 30-40 minutes closer to the Great Smokies than West or North Knoxville (where the traffic is heavy). I lived most of my life in Knoxville before moving to another state, so I chose this property with a native son's knowledge of roads and routes, knowing it would be convenient for my purposes (twice daily trips into the downtown area, plus a day off to spend in the Smokies.) The area is quiet (out in the country) away from the noise of traffic. It is very peaceful to sit out at the patio table to have coffee or to read. I went for two different quiet walks on the backroads near the apartment. The apartment itself is cozy and decorated with an artistic flare. My wife and I thought it a good size for two people. Would also work for a couple with a small child or two. It is certainly more spacious than a hotel room! The bath was stocked with shampoos, soaps, and other extras, and the kitchen had condiments, spices, and some food items. Our host was congenial and very thoughtful. We highly recommend this location and host. ##### Jesse A. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alice M. Oct 3, 2018 #### Great. We enjoyed the place. It was homely and close to the areas we visited. The place was clean and neat. ##### Alice M. Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill H. Aug 28, 2018 #### Fun & Funky Refreshing Space I came to Knoxville to be with a friend during a hospital stay. I could have stayed closer to the hospital but opted for the serenity of this cute little apartment. It was well worth it. After long days at the hospital it was nice to find a quiet place to rest. The apt was only a short, pleasant drive to the hospital & Victoria was more than helpful. My car ended up needing work & she referred me to a excellent mechanic. She was always checking to make sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely stay again if I get the chance!! ##### Jill H. Stayed 13 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jack K., Austin, Texas Jul 27, 2018 #### Great place, wonderful patio This is one of the best bargains for the price that we've hit in our years of Home Away stays. Victoria and Sam are wonderful folks and have been most helpful on all parts of the logistics. They are both artists and have put so many nice touches on the apartment. It was clean and well appointed. We would definitely recommend this property. ##### Jack K. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### George J., Camden Jun 13, 2018 #### Great one bedroom apartment with a wealth of nature surrounding it! Miss Victoria was a great, very gracious, and caring host. She was very attentive to our needs and informative to the sights of the area! Definitely look forward to going back next year! ##### George J.
