We are going away for part of Thanksgiving week. Would you like to visit family in the Knoxville area but still have a get-away place while you are in the area? We live in Friendsville (a small, peaceful suburb of Knoxville/Maryville/ Lenoir City - just 20 minutes to airport.) Enjoy this quiet home on the lake with spectacular views of the mountains. Relax in the hot tub or just enjoy your meals watching the fish jump out of the water. We have one 17 year old cat that needs to be around someone or she gets lonely and sad. We need mail and newspaper to be brought in. Just about everything else around the house is taken care of. If you seek solitude and a quiet, peaceful setting - you've found it. We are flexible if you need to stay at our house a few days prior to November 20th or a few days after the 23rd, but we anticipate leaving around noon on the 20th and returning late in the night of the 23rd. Let us know if this week would work for you. We try to reply to all in the order of response. We will let you know if another person responded sooner and has met our needs. We also will need someone for 2 weeks beginning the 1st or 2nd of January but it is not necessary for you to be available for both - just let us know which week (s) you are interested in. Thank you.
