10 people (family) stayed in house for a December graduation weekend. First the pros--house was in a great location and there was ample parking (we had lots of cars) and the common areas were spacious. Unfortunately there are a lot of cons--we had 10 and while it said it slept 12, that would assume anyone would sleep on 2 chair sleepers that were absolutely nothing but springs -- unsleepable. We also had to call to get enough sheets, towels and blankets. The house is drafty and has uneven heating (expected in an old house) but the fact that not all beds had more than a thin coverlet in December was problematic--they had to buy us blankets. No door on primary bathroom (not fun to hear your partner using the bathroom at all hours), door to laundry room unexpectedly locked and it took us hours to get a code to open it--we had stuff for dinner locked in the second fridge (2nd fridge is a pro, random locking doors is a con). Gas fireplace didn't work (tbf we didn't ask for help but as we have the same set up at home, we knew how to work it, but it just didn't). There were a lot of things the owners described as "quirks" and "charm" of an old house, which, to a point, is fair, but personally I don't consider a ceiling that looks like it could fall on someone any minute a "quirk"--just get someone to fix it while maintaining the "charm". Overall, I would have liked to have given a 3.5 but I can't go as high as a 4 because of all the issues.

Our stay was fantastic! The location is perfect with great access to the University of Tennessee campus. We did have a small issue with the heat and fireplace but a phone call to Mike quickly brought him to the property to resolve our difficulty. Would definitely rebook this property!!!

The house was stunning with tons of space. Very cool old architecture but with some modern updates like A/C, appliances, Wi-Fi, TV's. Plenty of towels, sheets, kitchenware, etc and check-in/out was a breeze. No issues at all. Would love to return when back in the area!

This is a great home for gathering with family or friends. It's close to the UT campus and a quick drive to downtown Knoxville. There's plenty of room to relax together and the back yard/ pool were so nice for enjoying the weather. It's clean and has pretty, historic features. I believe the listing says one bedroom has 2 king size beds but the bedrooms are 2 with king beds and adjoining bathroom and 2 bedrooms (1 has a queen bed and the other has 2 twins) with a jack and jill bath. We hope to return!

Tile Mansion was awesome for our two families with 6 kids ages 5-12 - total of 10. It was the perfect space with a retro vibe and epic tile work! We used all the house with the multiple and seperate living spaces for adults and kids for a win. We were in Knoxville for a USAA swim meet at UT and the house was conveniently located from campus, maybe a five minute drive to the natatorium. The pool on the tile mansion property was HUGE! We all enjoyed the space while cooking, eating, and swimming. It was also easy to get to historic downtown Knoxville and enjoy the city! The property manager was responsive immediately to any questions we had. Beautiful space, well equipped for all our needs, and great sleep in comfy/clean beds!!! Thank you! We will be back!
