Everything was so nice, especially the location. Close to Knoxville, the airport and nearby towns. Christie was awesome! She was there if you needed anything! Quickly responding to any questions you might have. The property is old, just as written. But it holds so much character it made me feel like I was at home. The kitchen is wonderful, all that you need and more. Having the horses right there was fun to watch. And didn't take much for them to come over and say hi. Carrots are a must - it was fun to feed them. Roosters, turkeys and goats too. It was all very cool. We felt safe and secure there. I would go back there in a heartbeat!

We were 3 professional men here for the music festival. We spent very little time here except to sleep and shower. Two of the bedrooms have insuite bathrooms, leaving the person in the other bedroom going into the other bedroom to use the toilet. I’m not fond of single ply toilet paper, but otherwise the place was roomy, charming and quiet.

The house was lovely with beautiful, serene surroundings. There are horses on the property, and we were allowed to treat them with apple pieces or carrots. That made the stay even more enjoyable. The house was very clean and so comfortable and homey. Christie was very responsive & friendly. There is a grocery store nearby along with restaurants. If you want the busyness of Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, they are conveniently close by. However, you’ll love coming back at the end of the day to a peaceful setting.

Peaceful Getaway

Traveled to Knoxville are for a family reunion. We choose the Yellow Tea Cup Cottage because it was a quite and peaceful retreat. The beauty and peace we experienced was priceless. Everything was wonderful, the horses, goats, birds, squirrels, chipmunks, and the beautifully decorated cottage! Plenty of room for our 2 families and my grandson loved the playroom. The property is gorgeous. The outside grounds are wonderful to spend time with your family. Our contact and communication with Christie was great! Christie was friendly and responded quickly. Definitely would stay again!

Perfect Getaway Cottage

Yellow Teacup Cottage is perfect. There is plenty of parking, and getting in is so easy. The living room opens to the dining area and a gorgeous kitchen. So many windows to let in the sunshine and allow the scenery to be enjoyed from everywhere. The beds were so very comfortable, we all slept so well! Christie was such a considerate host, and very fast to respond to questions. I hope I get to stay here on a future trip, this is a wonderful property!

I first fell in love with the property while looking on line for a place to stay. It was cute, had antiques and was large enough for all 5 of us. We could even bring the dog! Once we drove ip to the property, I knew this would be a magical place. A quaint yellow cottage with teacup in the name. How could we go wrong? The kitchen is fully stocked with plenty of everything. There were even some plates with the yellow wheat pattern I grew up with! The decorating was amazing with surprises in every room. I personally loved the room overlooking the barn and horses. When it was time to pack up and leave, a sadness came over me as I felt like I was one with the property and really didn't want to go. I hope to be going back again as the rest of the world vanishes for a brief moment in time while you are there. Our host was amazing also. She was always quick to respond if we had a question or an issue. That was highly appreciated! A lot of good memories were made while there.
