Why Guests Keep Coming Back
Exceptional Cleanliness * Frequently called “spotless,” “super clean,” and “the cleanest rental we’ve stayed in” * Professionally cleaned and carefully maintained every stay
Unmatched Comfort * Extremely comfortable beds with quality linens and pillows * Many guests say they “slept better here than at home” * Cozy, calm atmosphere that’s perfect for unwinding
Truly Pet- & Family-Friendly * Pets are genuinely welcome (not just allowed) * Low beds (queen bed only), safe layout, and space that works well for kids * Guests say their dogs “felt right at home”
Thoughtful Extras That Make a Difference * Coffee bar and welcome snacks * Extra towels, blankets, and pillows * Fully stocked kitchen with everything you need * Washer & dryer for longer stays * Backyard space for relaxing evenings * Fire pit and grill (weather permitting)
Quiet Yet Convenient Location * Peaceful neighborhood guests describe as “quiet and relaxing” * Minutes to MTSU, downtown Murfreesboro, shopping, and restaurants * Easy access for events, work trips, and family visits

Good to Know Before Booking (Clear Expectations)
We believe great stays start with transparency: * This home is part of a duplex / multi-unit property, meaning another rental is nearby. Most guests say this did not affect their stay, but it’s important to know in advance. The design is brilliant! The bedrooms are on the outside walls, with adjoining wall bordering only the kitchen and dining room. * The fire pit may be shared or accessed by another guest on occasion. * The layout reflects the character of the home—some spaces (like a half bath) are compact, while the full bath is spacious and well-appointed.
Ideal For ✔ Families ✔ Pet owners ✔ Longer stays ✔ Visiting MTSU, Seigel Sports Complex, or local venues ✔ Guests who appreciate comfort, cleanliness, and care over flashy luxury
From the moment you arrive, it feels welcoming, calm, and thoughtfully prepared—like a true home away from home. Whether you’re traveling for work, visiting family, relocating, or enjoying time with pets and kids, this space is designed for comfort, rest, and ease. We take pride in creating a space where guests can truly relax—and we’d love to host you!

Excellent accommodations and pet friendly. Great communicators and communications. Very conveniently located. Comfortable beds. We would definitely check on availability on our next stay in Murfreesboro.
Wow!! What at great house in a convenient location. The beds were very comfortable. We ended up with a plug-in hybrid rental car, it was a nice surprise to see the vehicle charger. Would definitely stay here again!

So glad you were able to use the charger! Please come back anytime!
The property was nice, in a quiet area, and very well stocked (towels, soap, dishes, additional bedding, etc.) I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to visit Murfreesboro or the surrounding area.
This property was perfect for our Murfreesboro stay. Very clean and comfortable. Everything was well-stocked - we had everything we needed and more. Brought our puppy and she settled in like home. We appreciated that reasonable pet fee. Jonathan's communication was amazing - he answered our questions immediately! Nice, quiet neighborhood. Great location - short distance from anything you want or need.

Thank you so much for the excellent review! Please come back anytime!
We were in town for a car show and had a wonderful stay. The street was super quiet, bed was comfy. This was one of the nicest homes we have stayed in, house was clean and nicely decorated, we would definitely stay here again next year!
We needed a safe place to stop and relax for a day while driving across 6 states with all my work tools and trailer. The location, house, safety, check in/out and communication were all exceptional! We may stay here on the way back if available.
Our family had a relaxing place to go during the holiday fun. AC works great. Neighborhood is pleasant. Dana and Jonathan have done a great job setting up a beautiful stay. We only needed groceries and luggage. Everything else was there. I will recommend this to my family and friends visiting middle Tennessee.

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’ll be happy to welcome your family and friends! 😊
First time VRBO stay. Process was easy, communication with managers was great and house worked perfect for us. Very quiet neighborhood and close to stores, restaurants, etc. We will be back next year and will certainly stay here again if dates align.
Very cute house, one of the nicest rentals I’ve stayed in. They had lots of good amenities (coffee, breakfast foods, toiletries) and high quality linens. They were very accommodating with our dogs. We only stayed overnight on a road trip - lots of food options available around. Would recommend!

It was a pleasure to host your group! Thank you so much for running the dishwasher, stripping your bed, and putting all the towels away in the basket! We would love for ya'll to come back anytime! Safe travels!
Our family enjoyed the house. Super impressed with cleanliness and all the extras. Shampoo, conditioner, snacks, extra towels and did I mention the cleanliness 👍🤗
The king bed is very comfortable, the pots and pans are very easy to clean after home cooked meals, the neighborhood is very quiet, and it's very close to a Kroger and Walmart with plenty of food options in the area to pick up at for convenience. The owners are very friendly and quick to respond to our needs.
My husband and I definitely enjoyed our stay.

Thank you so much for the kind words! Please come back anytime!
Very clean and was perfect for my daughter and I. The location to the Millar Horse and Science Arena could not have been better. The cherry on top was the mini 1/2 n 1/2s in the fridge for my morning coffee.

5 Stars – A Perfect Fall Break Getaway!
We had such a wonderful stay at this lovely home during our quick Fall Break vacation! It truly felt like a home away from home. The house is located in a quiet, charming neighborhood and was just minutes away from all the activities we came to enjoy in Murfreesboro.
From the moment we arrived, we noticed how thoughtfully stocked everything was—bottled water, snacks, seasonings, plenty of dishes, and even all the essentials for the fire pit! There were more than enough bath towels, extra bed linens, and the soap and other basics were fully provided. One major plus: the AC worked perfectly—which is always a relief!
We also really appreciated that there wasn’t a huge cleaning fee. We didn’t mind tidying up ourselves—it felt more personal and respectful of the space. Overall, this home was clean, cozy, and extremely well-prepared for guests.
Excellent place to stay—we will absolutely be back again! Highly recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Dana and Jonathan
My family is made up of native Nashvillians, and the rest of us have grown up here. We've seen Nashville change from a quiet country town, to a busting metropolis that we scarcely recognize every time we visit downtown! Our family loves traveling and visiting new places and especially other cultures! We also love movies (with one student in college for art, and the other studying film both at local universities)! Our youngest is still figuring out what he wants to do (for he has time), and he would love to talk to you about it if you give him the chance! :) Our hosting personalities are to give you a peaceful, clean, and comfortable place to relax and spend time with families, whether you are visiting our great city or needing a place to stay because of home renovation or in town for work! We are happy to host you and look forward to a no drama and no surprises fees after you book or leave! As long as you treat our homes well, we are more than happy to treat you well! We look forward to hosting you!!
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood is great! The home is a brilliantly designed, private duplex on the end of a short culdesac next to a high school in a pleasant area of Murfreesboro. On the northern side of Murfreesboro, it is a short distance from the local airport, a busy soccer complex, and more although you wouldn't know it from the peaceful location! It is a quiet neighborhood, but just minutes away from the action. We love it, and from our reviews, it appears our guests love it too!
What makes this property unique
Although it is a duplex, it's brilliantly designed with the bedrooms on the outside walls, so the only adjoining wall is the dining room and kitchen wall. The location is great, which explains why the neighbor has rented for years, and used to rent our home, but now rents the nextdoor matching duplex. We offer LG stackable washer and dryer in each home (I LOVE THEM!), little snacks and bottled water to refresh you upon arrival from your long drive in! The driveway is also long, and can accommodate larger vehicles than many other homes, just ask! As hosts, we want you to enjoy your stay, so if something isn't great, PLEASE let us know and we are happy to fix it!
