Very nice accommodations! Everything was clean and comfortable. Loved the vintage ambience.The host was very responsive and helpful when I needed assistance. The only suggestion I have is that it would be helpful to have a small stool in the bedroom because the bed is so high and it was a bit of a struggle to get in the bed. I certainly enjoyed my stay here.

Charming Vintage Cottage

This little house has experienced many years of love, and we were happy to be a part of that experience! The neighborhood is lovely for walking, the visiting neighborhood kitty is sweet and the birdhouses with baby birds on the covered front porch captivated us. We would definitely stay here again!

This house just screams Nashville!

I chose this house because it makes me think of Dolly Parton/Nashville. The house is fantastic and I fell in love with the neighborhood! The neighbor was very friendly as well. As another reviewer said, the proximity of the house to downtown is perfect to Uber from which we did. I appreciate the owner opening up her home with her very important keepsakes to renters. We would love to rent it again in the future if available.

Wonderful experience.

This home was exactly as it was stated with a few nice exceptions. We have never stayed anywhere except hotels and this was so much better. So personal and our host call was so generous with her own personal history. She left a binder with places to go and explore and where to eat. Nice to find that there was a printer there also! We had concert tickets that had to be printed. Loved our time there! Highly recommend this quiet neighborhood in a quaint historic home.

More of a museum than a place to stay.

The house was fairly cool, and the neighborhood was great! But, it felt like saying in a museum. There are signs everywhere about being careful interacting with everything at the property. It made for an uncomfortable stay of tiptoeing around. The house was musty and inflamed my allergies, and the bed was very hard. Cool place for a photo shoot, but not a very comfortable stay overall.

A bit of a disappointment

We chose this place because of the instruments that were available to play. Unfortunately, the Taylor guitar has a broken high E string, so unplayable. The other stringed instruments all have extremely old strings, so don’t sound so great. It said to have a jam on the porch so we tried to do that. It was Friday evening at 5 o’clock, and I will repeat that because I know it sounds absurd. It was 5 pm on a Friday and a neighbor showed up in front of the house and asked us to stop because he couldn’t hear his TV! So we didn’t play outside anymore. Also, the smaller of the two air mattresses has a leak.

House looked abandoned and Hosting Company is difficult to communicate with.

I left the property shortly after arrival and contacted VRBO. The house felt as if it had not been visited in months (despite clean towels). There was a dead bird (old dead bird) on walking path, the lawn was overgrown and there was garbage in the bush. Probably blew in but still. The porch was in complete disarray, bird poop everywhere, furniture was extremely dirty and placed everywhere with no intention. When I walked in the house smelled so musty it took my breath away. As I opened all of the curtains, I came across a large cobweb (luckily i didn't see the maker). I went to plug in my phone and noticed the baseboards were caked in dust and cob-webs. There were car air fresheners in the vents, guessing to try and mask the smell? I just new I wouldn't sleep so I left. I just couldn't sleep there. I felt unsettled and not at home. And the smell was more than I could handle. I have been trying to get the refund the host stated I would get and yet nothing has happened. They keep telling me to cancel with in the VRBO system but obviously I can't because technically it is too late. They keep saying to have VRBO call them which they have multiple times and yet the host seems to have "missed" the call every time.

Eclectic.

The cottage is very quaint. This is an older home. So it has the look and feel of days gone by. The owner has gone to lengths to help you with your stay. There are little notes on everything giving the history of items she has collected. There is also a book the helps with ease of access to transportation, grocers, near by clubs and also brochures on local attractions and any local events in the area. The cottage is within walking distance to a couple of local pubs and restaurants. Downtown is only minutes away. Just an FYI. The neighbors on both side of the rental are as good as gold! And the little kitty comes out to talk/play in the morning and early evening. Needless to say we had a wonderful stay!

Wonderful stay!

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying here for a birthday weekend in Nashville. The neighborhood has great access to all the awesome restaurants, bars, and shopping that East Nashville has to offer. Easy access by Uber to downtown in 10-13 minutes. The home is decorated and preserved like a museum, there was always something new to discover and was well-stocked with everything we needed. Excellent communication from the hosts. Would definitely come back!

Charming, Quirky House in Great Neighborhood

We really enjoyed our stay in this charming, historical, musical house. Loved the historical write-ups here and there linked to meaningful items. Well-stocked with kitchen items, towels, bedding, etc. the location in East Nashville is lovely and really convenient to anywhere we wanted to go. We love to walk in the evenings and this neighborhood was great for that. I would absolutely stay here again if we found ourselves back in Nashville.
