Little Joe Log Cabin near UTK on16 acres, FP, hottub, fishing, trails

Experience the best Knoxville has to offer! Why stay in a cramped, noisy hotel when you can have all of this room and privacy? Minutes to everything, but a world away! Little Joe is our two-bedroom, two-bathroom log cabin located on a gated 16 acres of woods & pasture. You have it all here. Peace and quiet? Check. Hot tub and fireplace? Yup. Walking trails, bass fishing pond, horseshoe pits, and a tetherball pole? Oh, yes!

The living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom with log queen bed & bath with tub are all on the main floor. The leather couch is a pull-out sofa sleeper. The kitchen is fully stocked and includes a dishwasher, cooking utensils, Keurig and drip coffee machines, a griddle, spices and seasonings, cooking oil, sugar, and flour. Everything to prepare gourmet meals is at your fingertips.

The 2nd floor has a large bedroom with a log queen bed, walk-in closet, bathroom with shower, and washer and dryer. A twin air mattress is available for the 5th guest. The cabin has 2 TVs with Roku devices and Xfinity cable TV, and the wifi is excellent throughout.

Enjoy deer, birds, turkeys, and squirrels with a morning cup of coffee or evening beverage while sitting or swinging on the deck with ceiling fans or in your private hot tub. How about grilling a steak on the outdoor grill? Snuggle up with the toasty fireplace on a cold evening. Enjoy walks on the beautiful 16 acres of fenced grounds with tall oaks and hayfields while admiring the abundant wildlife. How about a bonfire out back by the seasonal creek? Or throw a line into the catch-and-release stocked bass pond with fountain. Fishing is seasonal & catching fish will be reduced in colder months. We also provide shared access to horseshoe pits, a tetherball pole, and cornhole in our outdoor game and trail area. Or grab a book and find a secret hammock in the woods to relax.

The best feature of this cabin is its amazing location to what matters to you! When it is time to go to work or to play, you are only minutes from all the shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and hospitals in Knoxville. 14 mins to UTK, Neyland Stadium, and the convention center & 12 minutes to the airport. Dollywood and the Great Smoky Mountains are about 45 minutes away.

Preapproved pets are charged $25 per pet per day. Easy Uber ride to the airport or to the entertainment in Knoxville. Rent another cabin on the same property for a family reunion!!

We supply our guests with at least a week's worth of hand soap, dish soap, dishwasher soap, laundry soap, paper towels, and toilet paper to allow our guests time to settle in without being rushed to make a grocery store visit.

We do not automatically provide maid or cleaning services during your stay. Guests are expected to maintain a good level of cleanliness. Cleaning service can be requested for a reasonable fee.

Please let us know if the grill runs out of gas. We will refill at no charge to guests. Firewood for the fireplace or firepit is not supplied. It can be collected on-site in the woods, or purchased from local vendors.

Pond’erosa living
We loved our stay at the Little Joe cabin on the Pon’erosa in Knoxville. We were there for our son’s graduation from UTK. Kevin and Brandi are great hosts and very responsive. They seem to think of everything. We felt more like guests in their home than as renters of a cabin. The cabin was cozy and very comfortable. The grounds peaceful. Highly recommend it for a getaway.

Went to Knoxville to watch my grandson pitch for the VOLS. The location of cabin to stadium easy to find and only 10 miles away. Took many walks on the property with our dogs. Felt like home. I’m sure we will be back again next year. The hosts to the property were extremely wonderful.

Serene Location
We stayed in the Little Joe cabin for a week during Christmas. The cabin was very clean and was very well stocked with soap, shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, trash bags and laundry supplies. I have stayed at several STR properties and this is the first where we did not have to purchase these items. We also had a welcome basket with snacks and water waiting for us. The hosts were very responsive with any questions and were accommodating with a special request that we had. The property is beautiful in a peaceful setting, we enjoyed walks with our dog - he enjoyed the large off-leash area. Overall a great experience, we will be staying again in the future!

Very nice little Cabin ❤️
We are two couples who stayed for a weekend while attending a concert in Knoxville. The cabin was easy to find and the property was lovely. The cabin is perfect for two couples. Having two bedroom and two baths, was just what we needed. We really enjoyed the arcade game upstairs. It brought back a lot of memories of our youth. Check in and check out was very easy with little cleaning expected from us. The only thing that was less than appealing that was the hot tub. It’s old, has a mildew issue and the jets are very weak. But it was hot. Thanks for sharing the place with us.

The Best!!
We stay at vacation rentals on all our trips and this place has by far been the best. The cabin is adorable and beyond super clean! The area to walk around and explore was a huge plus when wanting to spend quality, quiet time with family. We captured an adorable photo of our 22 year old Grandson's feet hanging out of the hammock by the pond. This kind of sums up the overall experience. The communication with the hosts was great and assuring of us having a nice stay. HIGHLY!!! recommend this place.

We enjoyed our stay here. It was the perfect balance of “getting away” but we were only 10 minutes from downtown Knoxville. Our hosts left very detailed and helpful instructions and checked in with us just the right amount. We can’t wait to come back!

Little Joe Big Winner
We stayed on 16 acres of heaven in a lovely cabin for three nights. The cabin, named after one of the Cartwright boys from Bonanza, was exactly as described. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped, and well served by friendly and helpful hosts. It is super convenient to Knoxville and would be perfect for a UT football weekend or just a treading getaway. The Smokey Mountain National Park is but 30 minutes away in the other direction. The pond with fountain and nature trail with actual nature are beautiful. Saw two deer by the creek. We will stay again.
