Knox’s Peaceful Hideaway- Contactless Check-in

Staying at an airbnb vs hotel is a topic that most have an opinion on so we strive to bridge that gap. We DON’T ask you to strip beds, wash towels, start the dishwasher.. we know that will be waiting for you at home. It’s your time away and we want it to feel like it. If you need towels or beds to be changed during a long stay, let us do that for you! And this if that doesn’t sound like enough- this is a 2-ply only toilet paper household! Located by restaurants, entertainment, and shopping!
