Hilltop Hideaway

I stayed in the hilltop hideaway while looking for a rental in Maryville. It was comfortable and clean. The bed was very good. Communication was excellent.

Great Spot for Family

We stayed here while visiting family over Christmas. The place matches the listing exactly with all amenities needed with stocked kitchen, washer/dryer and great WiFi. Communication with Keith was great and we had no issues. The road leading to the house is in rough shape, for sure but that’s not really the owner’s issue to solve. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Hilltop Hideout

The house has recently been updated and all the furnishings very nice. The houses next door very much like this one but overall the neighborhood looked like it may be about to go through a lot of changes. The surrounding area of Maryville had plenty of options for dinner, groceries, shopping, etc. A little distance from UT but not too far.

Good home base for college tours

We stayed at Keith's while touring colleges. It was nice to be close to restaurants and grocery stores. The house location wasn’t quite what I was anticipating. The small road leading up to the home was awful with potholes (not Keith's fault). But the Hilltop Hideaway severed our needs perfectly as a home base while we toured colleges and Knoxville. Go Vols!

Was a great stay thank you for hosting. I do want to say I used back door mainly because front door was hard to lock and unlock and the back door keypad was flashing towards the end of my stay for batteries were low. But great stay thank you!

Quiet location with quick access to downtown Maryville and Foothills Mall

This was a great location for getting around Maryville. It was up the hill from town, while providing easy access to downtown and mall. Owners were very accommodating, and we enjoyed our stay very much.

Cozy getaway

This was my first Vrbo stay and it was great. House is conveniently located close to various amenities just a few minutes away. It’s also nestled up a quiet hill with some privacy. I stayed here for my trip to Tail of the Dragon and it worked out wonderfully. I look forward to staying again. Keith and Ben were communicative and helpful, quick responses. Check in was a breeze. Thanks for having us!

week long stay

House was very clean and the pictures represented property and house exactly as it was. Hosts answered questions I had very quickly and were very friendly. Was happy to have a washer/ dryer and great appliances. Bed was really comfortable. The street is very quiet, very dark at night and sort of secluded.

Very clean, good condition, well stocked, comfortable, newer updates. We would stay there again. Front steps need a railing, though, difficult for my elderly father who stayed with us.
