Downtown lofts and apartments around Gay Street, close to Market Square and Vols game days.
Knoxville brings a lively city feel to your East Tennessee trip, with historic theaters, local restaurants and Vols game days. Casago Smoky Mountains manages a small collection of downtown Knoxville lofts and apartments, so you can stay right in the middle of it all and still be within driving distance of the Smokies.
Our Knoxville rentals are in the downtown area around Gay Street, which is the heart of the city. Staying downtown means you can walk to dinner, a show or Market Square and skip the parking hassle. It works well for weekend city breaks, concerts, University of Tennessee visits and football weekends.
A loft or apartment gives you more space than a hotel room, plus a kitchen and a living area to relax in. Our largest Knoxville option, 304 S Gay St, is a downtown loft built for groups.
Named one of the Great Streets in America by the American Planning Association, it’s home to the historic Tennessee Theatre and the Bijou Theatre, galleries and the Emporium Center, which anchors First Friday ArtWalk.
Independent restaurants and shops, a farmers’ market most Saturdays, concerts and festivals, and holiday ice skating in winter.
The 1982 World’s Fair landmark has an observation deck with 360-degree views of downtown, the University of Tennessee and the Great Smoky Mountains.
Just west of downtown, it’s where Tennessee Vols fans gather on game days.
Visit the Museum of East Tennessee History and Blount Mansion, the circa-1792 home of William Blount.

Football weekends, big concerts and holiday events fill downtown quickly, so book early if your trip lines up with one. McGhee Tyson Airport serves Knoxville. Downtown is very walkable, so once you’re settled you may not need your car much. Look into the First Friday ArtWalk on Gay Street, the Saturday farmers’ market on Market Square, or holiday ice skating on the square in winter.
Knoxville also pairs well with a mountain trip. Some guests spend a couple of nights downtown, then head to one of our cabins in Sevierville, Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg for the rest of the week. We can help you plan both legs of the trip.
