A lovely, quiet, perfectly appointed place. Spotlessly clean and one of the most comfortable beds I have slept on in ages! Lisa is a communicative and accessible hostess. Morning coffee on the back patio was just lovely. We will definitely book again the next time we come to Nashville for an event.

The host is extremely kind and friendly, and very responsive to messages. We walked in to the most welcoming home away from home. It had a beautiful fenced yard and the nights sky can be seen beautifully. I would stay here every time come to Nashville.

Felt like Home!

We truly enjoyed our stay. The home was very relaxing and had all the accommodations we needed for renting a place for a week. Quiet area and just far enough from busy Nashville. Plan to come back in the future!

Starlight retreat gets 5 stars

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.

Nice property!

Loved the flexibility of check-in time. Lisa was very responsive to all inquiries. The bird's chorus was a bonus! Mother Nature didn't cooperate for us to enjoy the firepit and outdoor swing. Maybe, next visit! We would definitely book again.

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!

We had our kids with us and as they were exploring the house they found board games. That was a fun bonus. Nashville was only 30 minutes away so we hung out there through the day and came back and relaxed with the kiddos playing said games in the evenings. 10/10 would recommend

Overall Perfect!

This was the best place for our group to stay for Music City truck show! The property owner is more than accommodating and one of the friendliest people we’ve ever rented off of… (We travel a lot to say the least) and she was quick to respond to any messages, super fast check in, and the propert was in great shape! 5 star rating!!
