Magnificent 70' Houseboat with Roof Top Party Deck Walking Distance to DT Knox

Tired of staying in the same old stuffy boring hotel room? So were we, so we decided to own our own Houseboat on the Tennessee River, where we could walk to just about everything. The “Moonlight Madness” is docked in the peaceful Volunteer Landing Marina in Knoxville. The marina is steps away from award winning “Ruth’s Chris” steakhouse and Calhoun’s On the River. You can walk to both as well as the Neyland Greenway, James White Greenway, Neyland Stadium, Thompson-Boling arena, University of Tennessee and the vibrant Market Street in Downtown Knoxville. We can accommodate 6 people in beds. We have 2 bedrooms, one king size bed in the master and a Full bed in the crew quarters and a queen size pull out couch, along with 2 bathrooms. We feature 3 decks, one off the bow, one off the stern (great for morning coffee or catching some rays) and a 70' PARTY DECK on the roof. The party deck has abundant seating along with 2 flatscreen HD television and a gas grill. The master also has a 40' Vizio UHD flatscreen with Smartcast. The salon also has a 50' UHD flatscreen. Our boat comes fully stocked with clean linens and towels. The galley also comes fully stocked with dishes, utensils and small appliances along with Hi-Speed internet. You will meet a lot of very nice people that reside at the marina full time. Also, we have an golf cart and 2 Kayaks,1SUP and 2 beach cruiser bikes that are available for you to use while at our boat. Sorry, but the Houseboat doesn't leave the marina because of the river current. We also have a full-time Marina Manager and store on site should you need anything or have any questions with our boats. We want your stay with us to be a memorable one, and will make every attempt to make you want to come back. Proud to be a Premier Partner Host. Our boat is strictly non-smoking non-vaping.

On the river
I really enjoyed my stay at this property. It was very convenient to the Riverwalk and a variety of local restaurants. I had to communicate with the owner about one thing and he was immediately available and very patient.

Nice Boat
The actual boat was nice, and the upper deck is great! Owner was very quick to respond. The surrounding environment could be better. There was an odd smell outside that got into the living room area and several other boats were dumping garbage into the water. One didn't see my daughter and splashed her. We decided to cut our stay short by a night.

Unforgettable Stay on Moonlight Madness
We recently hosted a small graduation celebration on the houseboat, and it was perfect! The boat is beautifully maintained and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable and memorable stay. Being right on the river added a unique and special touch which everyone enjoyed. The living spaces were clean, cozy, and well-equipped, making us feel right at home. The outdoor deck provided stunning views and was the ideal spot for our gathering. Fonz was a fantastic host – super responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable experience!!!

Perfect Getaway for Small Group
Stayed as a group of three to relax on the river and explore Knoxville for memorial day weekend. The boat had plenty of room for us and could have even accomodated 1 or 2 more. All of the essentials were on board and instructions for bathrooms and appliances were clear. The A/C units worked surprisingly well and cooled the rooms quickly. The top deck is the best part as there is tons of space to grill, lounge, and even play cornhole. The marina is super quiet and is perfectly situated right next to a trail for running or biking. It's also walkable to all areas downtown in less than 30 minutes. We also made us of the kayaks and paddled the river and enjoyed a scenic view.

Cool place
Perfect place for us. We had four. Two adults, two teens. Space for everyone. And a dog. Worked out great for us. The golf cart was very helpful and appreciated to get things from the parking lot. Full kitchen and plenty of extra linen. Right on the river but the boat barely moved, if you’re worried about that. Fonz was very responsive when we had a question. Would highly recommend.

Floating Family Getaway for 4th of July
We really enjoyed our stay on the Moonlight Madness houseboat! It was very well furnished and maintained, and we really enjoyed being able to use the golf cart, paddle board, and kayaks. It was a perfect place to spend the long holiday weekend and much more fun than a hotel!
