Welcome to Draper’s Cottage – a wonderland for musicians and vintage lovers in the heart of East Nashville. Built by Mr. Draper in 1912 for his family, this historic home has only seen three owners in one hundred years! Current owner, songwriter and Appalachian Folk musician Jeni Hankins, shuttles between Nashville and London, and welcomes you to her home while she’s away.

The space
Ten minutes from downtown, steps away from East Nashville’s fab Five Points shopping and dining district, Draper’s Cottage combines a vintage guest experience with all that you want to hear, see, and do in Nashville. Cool in the summer, warm in the winter, Draper’s Cottage is within a 10 to 20 minute walk to grocery stores, post office, bank, eateries, public library, vintage and record shops, salons, gift shops, and even a big art supply shop. It’s a super walkable neighborhood.

You’ll find all of the modern amenities like Fiber internet, a Smart Vizio TV, etc. But you’ll also feel like you’ve traveled back in time in this curated home. Soak in the history while you play Jeni’s piano, guitars, banjo, and mandolin. Have your own jam session on the old-fashioned porch where there are plenty of chairs and spots for drinks! Set up a photo shoot on the Eastlake sofa, in the cowboy rocker, or in the clawfoot tub. Jeni’s front porch has been the set for many a photo shoot! Sit back and watch a movie or listen to music. Jeni has everything from a Columbia Grafonola to iHeart Radio, from VHS to Chromecast. Her house is full of vinyl records, DVDs, tapes, CDs, etc. Browse Jeni’s library – everything from Dickens to Marilyn Monroe on her bookshelves, including a full set of The Oxford English Dictionary.

Confident stitchers are invited to use Jeni’s fully working Singer 201 electric in its sewing table and a Singer hand-crank machine. Paper, pens, pencils, scissors, tape, and a new wireless printer/copier/scanner, too, for projects. Write a song, write a novel, read, sew, or just sit on the porch and watch the house sparrows and eastern cottontail rabbits.

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.

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.

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!

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.
