Fantastic!

We had a great experience during our stay. Megan is quick to respond to anything you might need but chances are they’ve already thought about it and whatever you might need is waiting for you at the condo or in the guidebook! From one planner to another this was an amazing stay packed with great suggestions for the trip along with some great tips about the area too!

Cute property, pool was a bonus

Very clean and tidy, the snacks and note the hosts left were thoughtful. They provided a bunch of ear plugs, but noise was never an issue for us. Was great having the pool on the hot summer days we were there. It seemed lightly used, we often had it to ourselves. Short ride to downtown or several good restaurants in the 12 South neighborhood (which we walked to).

The location of this place is perfect it was never more than a 10min Uber ride to anywhere we needed to go. Megan and her husband really know how to make the experience great. Would recommend 100x over.

Love this place!

I can’t enough about this studio- it is immaculate and well supplied. The bed is so comfortable with quality bed linens and bathroom has everything one could need. The owners left a welcome note and goodies. The kitchen is stocked with coffee, tea and a tea pot, which is a bonus for tea lovers like myself! Cute sitting area outside to enjoy morning tea/coffee. The location is convenient to walk to First Watch, Publix and the best Thai restaurant in town! Lonestar has it all wrapped up in a small package. Love love love it!

Charming studio

Weekend trip to see my daughter at Belmont. Location and parking made it easy to get around and all the special touches in the studio made it comfortable, modern and charming. The outside of the building doesn’t Match the lovely inside. Melanie was so helpful and made the process super easy, as well as the “app” with all the helpful information about the property, restaurants and things to do.

Cozy and convenient

This little studio is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It has everything you need and nothing you don't. The building seems like an old motel that has been renovated into a bunch of short-term rentals. I could hear neighbor's music and dogs but people weren't being raucous and the hosts graciously supplied earplugs. I appreciated the little desk and reliable internet, since I was working during my stay. Communication with the owner/manager was excellent. Parking was ample, although there's also a lot you can walk to in the area. I'd recommend this for a solo stay or couple's trip.

Lonestar Studio - it’s a must for your Nashville trip!

Great property. Beautifully decorated and sparkling clean. Melrose neighborhood has so much to offer. A quick Uber to Broadway, the Parthenon, Belle Meade Plantation, etc. Several awesome breakfast spots in walking distance. Wonderful restaurants close by in 12 South area (also walkable). Amazing Hattie’s B’s location nearby. Megan, our host, was so helpful. We were celebrating a big occasion and she helped our friends surprise us with a gift. She even added her own special gift to personalize the occasion. It made me cry happy tears. We’ve never had such an incredible host. That alone is worth the stay because it made the trip feel like staying at a friends place. Thanks. We’ll be back!

Fantastic Hospitality

We were very happy with our stay at this location! The inside was welcoming and inviting and had absolutely everything e needed for our stay in Nashville. We were visiting friends in 12South and this location was closer to the highway than 12th Street but that made for easy access to and from all of Nashville. It was a bit loud but that’s to be expected in Nashville. The hosts had ear plugs available just in case :). If there is one singular thing I would change - the lighting was a bit bright white lights, but honestly 10/10 would recommend this location and be back any time in the neighborhood!

About the host

Hosted by Southbound Stays

Host profile image
Hi! We’re Megan & Richard. We are a husband-and-wife team who own and host our own rentals as Southbound Stays. We provide family- and dog- friendly accommodations in areas that we frequent and trust. Our goal is to simplify travel and ensure a memorable stay for our guests by providing plentiful amenities, clear communication and a variety of travel suggestions.

Our hosting journey began in 2016 and today, we own and host 6 short-term rental properties in Tennessee & Florida. Our guests enjoy staying at our rentals because:

• They are in incredible locations that we frequent and trust.
• Each rental was designed with intention to maximize space and comfort
• Plentiful amenities, including family-friendly conveniences

Whether your travels lead you to the city, countryside, or coast, we are ready to welcome you! We’d be honored to be your hosts and hope our rentals become a cherished part of the memories you make during your own southbound stay in Tennessee or Florida.

Why they chose this property

Prior to having a little guy, it was always just Richard and me on our travels. It was tough to find accommodations that fit a small group without unnecessary extra space. That's why the studio was perfect for people like us – just the right size for 1-4 people, equipped with all the essentials & dog-friendly. Situated in the vibrant Melrose / 12 South area, it's surrounded by fantastic dining and drinking spots. Plus, it's conveniently close to Downtown Nashville and carries a cool retro vibe that we adore. Bonus: There's a pool in summer!
