Absolutely loved this little cozy place. Very clean and comfortable. Has a lot of little signs around the house with positive sayings which is amazing. There is a coloring book with crayons to color a picture and leave a nice message to leave on the board. It’s interesting to see where everyone is from. Will definitely stay again

Relaxing retreat

What a great home! We spent several days here while touring Nashville. This house was perfect! Kitchen had all we needed and a few extras like fresh popped popcorn! The backyard was very private and HUGE! Lots of outdoor toys to help make use of it. Furnishings were nice and comfortable. Our host was amazing and went above and beyond! We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Nashville.

Great first experience with VRBO, no problems, Lisa was very quick with all her responses. Couldn't ask for a better host! Loved the waffle mix and small waffle griddle, along with the hot chocolate made the cold mornings a little warmer. Thank you Lisa!! We will be back, when it's warmer!

Totally Terrific!!

Spotless; beds are comfy; lots of little details "Lisa" includes to make it feel warm, convenient, and homey. We stayed 3 days. If we were to return to Nashville in the future, we'd try to reserve this place once again. The property is located away from the city. After dealing with Nashville traffic congestion all day during the 3 days we were there, the little bit of country was a blessing! Thank you Lisa 5+++++

Thank you for your kind review. It was my pleasure to host you two...great guests indeed. :-) I truly hope guests will feel at home as they exhale while on vacation; visiting family; or traveling for business. Just seeing the stars at night can bring such a sense of calm. I hope you two will have a great holiday season, and please do not hesitate to reach out if you visit the area in the future. Blessings, Lisa

Quality time.

My wife and I had quality time with our grandson for 5 days at The Starlight Retreat. The location is perfect for hiking, caving, fishing, canoeing, history, and music. We visited the Hermitage and the Bell Witch Cave on this trip. There are plenty of good local restaurants, but the kitchen is very functional if you prefer to cook. The backyard is big and well-equipped. We enjoyed the firepit one night. The beds are very comfortable. Lisa is a gracious host and answered questions promptly. We would stay here again.

Country site to relax from city high life

Check in good Facility adequate. Kitchen small; would not plan to prep/serve meals. Big bed we used was fine. Bathroom kind of small with no stopper in tub. Solved problem with “new car odor” by unplugging air freshener by desk. All in all, adequate and comfortable for our visit to Nashville.

Thank you for your review. It helps others learn your perspective about the property, as well as how we can celebrate where we succeed and improve where necessary. The size of the kitchen has worked very well for guests in the past; whether it's a group of friends or families with children. It is an eat-in kitchen with a full-sized refrigerator, stove, microwave, Keurig (coffee supplied), double sink and two counter spaces. Also, thanks for making us aware the tub stopper was not there for your use. I will be sure it's replaced once our current guests check out tomorrow morning. I know parents with little ones especially appreciate the tub for bath time.

This property does not disappoint!

We have opted for vacation rentals instead of hotels when we travel for work in recent years. The home was very clean and super comfy. Our host had basic necessities on hand too so I was able to run a load of our laundry. We may have been slightly sad that the "extra" door didn't lead to a magical world. Lol! But seriously, we truly enjoyed being able to come "home" at the end of each very long day. Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Jordan

Host profile image
Hi! I’m your host at The Starlight Retreat. With nearly a decade of hosting experience, and 20+ years in entertainment marketing and tour management, I’m detail-oriented, responsive, and love hosting guests. I focus on clear communication and creating a clean, comfortable space for guests. I enjoy the outdoors, international travel and teaching dance to youth; experiences that inspire my hosting. I’m happy to help make your stay relaxing and stress-free.

Why they chose this property

The Starlight Retreat is tucked into a peaceful, rural setting with beautiful trees lining the back of the property, creating a sense of privacy and tranquility. Despite the calm surroundings, the interstate is just a mile away, making it easy to explore Downtown Nashville, Opryland, East Nashville and local attractions without the stress of long drives. You get the best of both worlds: quiet country vibes and convenient access to everything the area has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Starry Nights & Stargazing-
Few rentals offer a sky like this! Guests can enjoy a clear, dark night where the stars truly come alive, often spotting both the Big Dipper and Little Dipper from the backyard. Combined with your fire pit evenings, this creates a magical, memorable experience not found in most Nashville-area rentals.

Peaceful, Private Country Setting-
The home offers a quiet escape from city life while still being only 20–25 minutes from Downtown Nashville. The combination of large yard (1.5 acres) and scenic surroundings gives guests a true “country retreat” feel, ideal for families, couples, or small groups.

Huge Outdoor Space for Play & Relaxation-
The property features a big yard perfect for kids to run, families to play, or guests to simply lounge and enjoy nature. It’s rare to find a rental this close to Nashville with such a spacious, open outdoor area.

Birdwatching & Nature-
Guests can enjoy mornings filled with beautiful birdsong, adding a peaceful, restorative element that enhances the rural escape.

Thoughtful, Experienced Hosting-
With nearly a decade of hosting experience, your attention to detail, smooth check-ins, and genuine enjoyment of welcoming guests make stays stress-free, comfortable, and personalized. This level of hosting adds warmth and trust that many properties lack.

Cozy, Comfortable Indoor Spaces-
The interior blends charm and practicality: comfy beds, a fully equipped kitchen, and inviting living areas make it ideal for families or friends looking for both relaxation and convenience.
