This one-of-a-kind mid-century modern gem is on the National Register of Historic Places. Nestled on a wooded private lot, it has an open floor plan with a stone fireplace, marble floors, built-ins, and is only minutes from downtown. Called the Daniel House, this unique house was built in 1948 and is a wonderful example of mid-century modern architecture.

Uniquely built into a hillside from salvaged Quonset hut structural supports, the house is only 10 minutes to downtown Knoxville (and the stadium) but offers a lot of privacy due to the wooded lot. Guests will love the distinctive architectural features and its use of indigenous local materials, including the marble slab walls and floors. There is a Quenn-sized Tempurapedic bed in the master bedroom and also a queen in the guest bedroom. A 50 flat screen TV with DVD player, cable, and wireless internet is also provided. The house is complete with all amenities, including a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, and a garage for your car. Plus, when you arrive you will find plenty of soda, water, coffee, tea, and goodies awaiting you!

    This architectural gem was exceptional! We were here for 5 days over Christmas and it exceeded all expectations. Very comfortable, with thoughtfully curated furnishings throughout and everything you need. The bed I slept in was so comfortable that I’m thinking of buying one just like it for home. Candace went above and beyond to make our stay a delight. The holiday decorations and Christmas tree were a wonderful touch. We hope to stay here again whenever our travel takes us to Knoxville!

    The Daniel house is so specail. It brings you back in time and it just put me, my wife and our 2 guests in a state of relaxation and peace. The site itself is tucked away and even though you're a stones throw away from downtown Knoxville it feels like your in the country. Every time I walked around I found amazingly crafted details (being an Architecture graduate and developer I guess adds to my nerdiness) that I marveled at. The owner had a binder that had articles of how this building came to existance. I think I spent an entire afternoon alone reading about the houses history. As far as the condition of the house, it was very clean and well maintained. I highly recommend staying at the Daniel House and so glad we chose this is our lodging destination while in Knoxville.

    This place was truly unique! We really appreciated the architecture of the house! Very quiet area and all the windows in the house allowed us to appreciate the landscape. The house is close to UT and the airport. That was perfect for us because we had an event at UT and we needed to get our friends to the airport. Great place.

    What an amazing vibe to stay in such a uniquely rare and historic setting! Our host recommended spending time at Market square during our visit and it didn’t disappoint! Knoxville is a beautiful place to visit and this place was icing on the cake! Hope to stay there again!!!

    I have stayed in no less than 50 vrbo’s throughout the country and this place is an absolute gem for the Knoxville area. Minutes from everywhere, the home provides a unique space for entertaining, working or just simply relaxing. Daniel House with its updated utilities juxtaposed to its Warhol-ish design is the perfect dinner party setting. Saturdays next fall should be magical. If able, you should definitely plan your trip to Knoxville around DanielHouse’s availability. Five stars.
