People say that Mid America is the most boring to drive through. I half heatedly disagree. Driving expressway, your right, but, get off the freeway, take a highway. It becomes one of the best places to drive. Big fields, old farms, old houses, Amish, green fields, and fences. New things every half mile. I was fascinated how driving through the same thing, farms, could still be new and interesting for hours. Best part...you can average 65 😉 or better. Only 10 miles below expressway speeds. So get off the expressway, find a parallel highway and enjoy rural America.

Cottage in Knoxville

"There are no pet friendly hotels in Knoxville so we were very happy to find this pretty house for our stay when back for a family funeral. Pros: ample parking, good location, very clean, large space, nice kitchen, large yard, DISH TV, pet friendly, rapid response from owner, sleeps multiple people Cons: sleeps multiple people but only 1 key provided, couches don’t face TV, 2 BRs have no doors so there is privacy only for people in upstairs BR, outlet in basement bath not working "
