About this property

Elvis Presley designed and financed this home for his doctor. Located in an upscale East Memphis neighborhood, it has been restored and furnished to its 1970's charm. It has an upstairs suite built for Elvis (he never stayed there) but he would play racquetball late in evening with Dr Nick and his son Dean. It is the perfect place for a large group traveling to Memphis or that Elvis fan visiting Memphis.

The feeling is all retro just the way it was in the 70's plus a few modern upgrades like 8 flat screen tv's and new appliances.

It is very spacious with a huge den downstairs, banana plant solarium, living room with wet bar plus bonus "game" room overlooking the racquetball court including a shuffleboard table. One master has adjoining library another master has a pool view and access. The upstairs master was Elvis's suite.

All other bedrooms have Smart TV's and shared bathroom access.
(NOTE: the upstairs has 3 bedrooms and access to only 1 bathroom, an additional full bathroom is located in the game room for those staying upstairs to use)

Wonderful house

My family had an amazing time. Absolutely loved this house. Decorated in such a fun way with so many amenities. My family so enjoyed the racquetball court, pinball machines and the outdoor area. Definitely will stay at this house again.

Unique experience

We loved our stay at this property! Our daughter was married at the The Dixon Gallery and Gardens which was close to the house. The bridesmaids got ready here before the wedding and it was such a unique and fun setting! The bar served endless mimosas and the large kitchen space was able to display a delicious breakfast buffet. The little ones (and really all of the adults, too) had so much fun on the racquetball court and playing the Elvis pinball machine. Everyone enjoyed the pool and the outdoor area, as well. Can’t say enough good things about this property! Would definitely stay again! Oh! Ask about the Rolls in the garage!

Just Perfect!

We gathered for a weekend as a family to celebrate a Birthday. This property was perfection in every way! Inside it is spacious with a retro vibe and the outdoor area and pool were put to good use in the Memphis heat. The kitchen and bedrooms are good sized and are well equipped.. I would highly recommend this property.

Family time

We enjoyed the uniqueness of the house. The decor brought back memories of the 70’s. Knowing that Elvis was here was special. Although the house does need some updating, but not destroying the integrity of the original house, we thoroughly enjoyed our week here. Thank you for preserving the past.

Graceland trip

The house is fantastic for entertaining and a large family group. It is fully stocked with everything need including sun tan lotion. Great pool and lots of room. The house needs a little TLC but i would stay there again and recommend it.

What makes this property unique

Pool and Racquetball Court make a great place for families enjoy each other while visiting Memphis. The Racquetball Court makes a great dodge ball court for the kids, balls included, as well racquetball equipment for the true sports fan. The pool and pool area should be quite after 10:00 p.m. out of respect for the neighbors.
