We loved our stay! The house was very spacious, spotless, and close to everything we wanted to do in Nashville. It was super easy to check in, beautifully decorated, and had such a cute vibe. We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely stay here again!
Met up with family from accross the county to have a long weekend in Nashville. We had a great weekend in a great house. The front porch !!! Also the house was just so well set up and stocked- perfect!
We loved this pet friendly home for our Belmont move in weekend stay! We loved being able to bring our dogs and walk them in the beautiful surrounding neighborhood. The beds were comfortable, the location was safe and quiet and so close to everything! And we could walk to the Fisher Center to see Dolly! the Musical, which was spectacular! Lovely stay in a warm, clean comfortable and beautifully appointed home!
The house was perfect for a bachelorette weekend. It’s cute and fully stocked with anything you might need. It was a short uber to Broadway and a short walk to 12 South.
Five of us met in 12 South for an annual girls trip. The house was excellent and the location was so much fun. House was stylish, clean and roomy. Beds were very comfortable. Short walking distance to 12 South. We will be back. Highly recommend this home. It was well stocked with toiletries, coffee and all the other sundries.
We hoped to avoid the tourist vibe and noise of downtown but be close enough to take the plunge on our own terms. This location was perfect and the house and host were just what you’d want. Nice home comfort touches and a well appointed kitchen. Everything we needed. Obviously a host who knows how to provision and make guests feel at home.

We had a great time time in Ashwood Bungalow. Kristi was quick to answer any questions we have have had prior to arrival and through out our stay. She has a beautiful home, comfortable beds, fresh flowers all through the house , a bottle of wine waiting for us as well as fresh fruit and snacks. Everything was exactly as discribed. Nice neighborhood within a ten minute ride to down town.

We absolutely enjoyed this stay. The house is so beautiful and had very thoughtful touches including a book that told you all about the house and peices in it. It was stocked with toiletries, kitchen supplies, coffee, candy, even had dog bowls and a beautiful touch was fresh flowers with a bottle of chardonnay. This host is very thoughtful. The home was clean and had homey, cozy vibes which made the whole family feel right at home! The location was great and close to lots of different shops/restaurants areas. It was perfect for our stay!

Charming Bungalow
This bungalow is perfect for a Nashville getaway. It's tastefully decorated and much care is given to make sure guests have everything needed for a comfortable stay. Also, the neighborhood is safe and quiet. A good night's sleep is easy here as the beds are super comfy and everyone loved the robes provided along with all the other small added touches -- a bottle of wine, snacks, fresh flowers -- all waiting for us upon arrival. This quaint "home-away-from-home" is located close to great shopping on 12th street, 21st street, and is just a few minutes ride to downtown Nashville. It's a great choice for a getaway!

The perfect place to celebrate Christmas with family!
This bungalow far exceeded our expectations!! It was absolutely adorable and perfect for celebrating Christmas. They were kind enough to let us put up a Christmas tree. It was well decorated and charming, not to mention sparkling clean & well stocked with almost anything you’d need. The property manager was quick to respond if any questions came up- although we really didn’t need anything while there. We would 100% rent this bungalow again. It made our holiday so special! Thank you very, very much!! HIGHLY recommend to others. We had 5 of us staying and there was plenty of room :)

About the host
Hosted by Barb Culligan
I purchased this home in 1986 and lived here with my children for several years, and later made the upstairs apartment my home. I worked as a dietitian for HCA Centennial Medical Center before going in to pharmaceutical sales. Now retired, I especially enjoy traveling. My husband and I have stayed at over 50 short term rentals internationally, including penthouse apartments, farm houses and houseboats. I like to incorporate the best hospitality ideas from those visits into amenities at The Ashwood Bungalow.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the area as soon as we saw it in the 1980s. We moved from the suburb of Hermitage; the tree-lined sidewalks, better schools and historic nature of the neighborhood appealed to us. In my opinion, this is the best residential neighborhood in Nashville. It is far enough from the tourist scene to be quiet and comfortable, yet close enough to enjoy all that Nashville offers.
What makes this property unique
A Bit Of History:
The house was originally a single family dwelling with one bedroom downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs. It was a model of the “Modern” craftsman home, perhaps a Sears Home Kit. Sometime, maybe in the 1940’s or 1950’s, the upstairs was converted into a an apartment with it's own outside stairs & entrance, creating a duplex.
When I bought it in 1986 it was a rooming house for multiple tenants. There was evidence that homeless people had camped in the yard. The heat source downstairs was a propane heater in one bedroom; another room had been closed off due to fire damage.
The property underwent extensive renovation just before we moved in. My children and I lived there for 5 years, and then we rented to long-term tenants until 2017. We did another extensive renovation that took 1 year.
The recent work included straightening a collapsing front column; extensive work on the foundation, retaining wall and support beams in the basement; treating for termites; replacing rotten siding on the dormers; removing a leaking chimney; 2 new bathrooms and a new kitchen; new hardwood floors; replacing the remaining ball-and-tube wiring; paint inside and outside; new gutters; 6 tons of gravel in the driveway; grading the side yard to control water, and lots of tree trimming/tree removal.
When that work was finished we renovated the upstairs, which took another year. Although we did not revert the property to a single family dwelling, we made every effort to preserve the Craftsman style and feel of the house.
Unlike nearby property owners, we have not expanded our footprint. We maintain the back and side yards as green space instead of filling them in. An arctic blast in December 2022 caused much of our landscaping and trees to die, as it did all over Nashville. We will start again on those efforts as time and money allow.
