About this property
Family&Pet friendly Farmhouse, Equine retreat, Fenced yard, Central Location!
Welcome to the Allen house, a beautiful, peaceful home where guests say they “felt right at home the moment they walked through the door”! This charming and spacious farmhouse-style retreat is designed for families, group trips, sports tournaments, and anyone who values comfort, space, and a quiet setting— while enjoying the views of a stable and horses in your backyard! Out back, unwind in a large fenced yard with peaceful views of horses grazing, 2 porch swings, and fresh Tennessee air. Many guests call the backyard a “definite plus” and one of their favorite parts of the stay—especially for kids and dogs. It has a fully stocked kitchen (with a crock pot), formal dining room, large living room, and a large downstairs primary bedroom with en-suite bath! It is two stories, but it is fully handicapped accessible with an interior chair lift and an exterior electric ramp for wheelchairs (please specify accessible needs when booking). Only 30 minutes from the bustle of Nashville and country music, but nestled in a quiet established neighborhood with a fenced in backyard. We are centrally located 24 miles from the airport, 23 miles from Franklin, and just 12 miles from Murfreesboro! Also just minutes from grocery stores, shopping, recreation parks, fishing, and so much more! It is a large house with plenty of room for everyone. We know you will love it as much as we do!
We are pet friendly as well for up to 2 pets! (The Pet Stay is $15/pet/night.) We do have a pet crate policy for this home. When dogs are left unattended we ask that they remain in their crates. We also request that the dogs stay off the furniture and beds. We (and future guests) appreciate your compliance with our pet policy.
Why Guests Book Again (and Again)
✔ Spacious & Comfortable for Groups
“Plenty of space,” “perfect for big families,” and “everyone had space” are phrases guests repeat often.
✔ Spotlessly Clean & Well-Maintained
Guests regularly note the home is “very clean,” “clean and tidy,” and “exactly as described.”
✔ Exceptionally Peaceful Setting
Located in a quiet neighborhood, this home offers a calm, relaxing stay while still being close to Smyrna, Murfreesboro, sports complexes, restaurants, and amenities.
✔ Pet-Friendly Done Right
Dogs love the backyard, and pet owners consistently mention how comfortable and welcome they feel here.
✔ Well-Equipped for Real Living
A beautiful, fully stocked kitchen, quality linens and towels, board games for kids, and everything needed for short or extended stays.
✔ Fast, Caring Hosts
Known for quick responses, clear instructions, and immediate problem-solving—guests feel genuinely taken care of.
Ideal For
• Family gatherings & reunions
• Youth sports tournaments
• Multi-generation trips
• Pet owners
• Guests who value space, peace, and comfort over flashy luxury
If you’re looking for a peaceful, spacious home that truly works for families and groups, this is the place guests happily return to.
Other Things to Note
* Neighborhood Setting: While the backyard opens to peaceful farm views with horses, the home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood, not an isolated rural property. This balance provides both tranquility and convenience.
* Outdoor Conditions: The yard is spacious and fenced, but after heavy rain the grass may be damp—typical for the area and season.
* Comfort & Style: The home prioritizes comfort, space, and livability. Furnishings are selected for relaxation and durability rather than showroom styling.
* Designed for Families & Groups: This is a home meant for gathering, relaxing, and making memories—not a party house.
Other things to note:
You have the whole house to yourself. There is a separate apartment above the garage with the side entrance reserved for the equine caretaker used only during inclement weather.

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 home is located in a quiet established neighborhood, with friendly neighbors who walk their dogs and play with their kids in the street. It has a mixture of older and younger families. The peaceful vibe and central location are what truly makes this home amazing! It's a mile away from I-24, yet no highway noise! The neighborhood is secluded, minutes away from Dunkin Donuts, 10+EV charging station, shopping, fast food, and more!
What makes this property unique
This home is incredibly unique! It is in the middle of a fairly busy area, but you would never know it when sitting on the back porch swings watching the horses in the back yard! It's so peaceful on the back porch that a bluegrass group wrote a song while staying with us and played it for the neighbors!
It is also built to accommodate handicapped, so has great accessibility features!
