We enjoyed our stay! The home is welcoming inside and we loved the charm of a well cared for 1920s home.. Beds were comfortable and check in and out was smooth. Highly recommend!

A great alternative to a hotel. We had 8 and pets, and had ample room. The house is older, but very clean and charming with nice updates. Would definitely visit again. What a great value!

The home is clean, beautiful, and conveniently located to stores and restaurants. The beds were very comfortable. The rooms were spacious. We recommend staying here for your next trip to Portland/Nashville area. I will book again if I’m back in town.

This house is so perfect for a big family! Everything is extremely clean. All linens smelled fresh, there were plenty of extra towels, blankets and pillows. The beds are super comfortable. There was a minor leak to which Kevin responded to and fixed quickly. There are plenty of places to eat at within walking distance. We stayed here for our Nashville vacation, it was about 30 minutes to drive. The neighbor is peaceful and safe. If you’re looking for somewhere away from the city, this is it!! Highly recommend!

Work trip

My wife and I came to Portland, TN to work storm claims in the area. This place was absolutely perfect for our stay. The place is very nice and the host is as good as it gets. If I was ever in this area I would absolutely stay here again.

Loved our stay!

Thank you for a wonderful stay in Portland. The description of the house is spot on, everything was as expected. The house is beautiful just as the pictures show. Communication was great with quick response times. Check in process was seamless! I would bring my family back to this house if we ever return to the area.

Special Portland TN Christmas

Family all live in different states so TN/KY was a great mid- way point for all of us. We fell in love with the Yellow House immediately on-line but seeing it in person was so much better. Huge rooms, great yard and convenient to many fun places for the day. Kevin went out of his way to make sure we were happy with everything the house included, especially the Christmas decor. Would love to return. Thanks from all of us for a great Christmas.

Excellent communication and accommodating owner

Due to the Great Southwest Fiasco of December 2022, we weren't actually able to get to Nashville for our stay, but Kevin was VERY friendly and accommodating - he was in touch with us Christmas eve and Christmas Day as our plans unraveled, and was willing to work with us and move our reservation to another time. He also offered a refund if we weren't coming back in the next few months. We are coming back and I can't wait to stay at this property!

A Special Stay

My husband and I had such a great time at this beautiful property. It’s a gorgeous 1920s house that has been updated while still keeping the old charm. The decor was breathtaking (I need to know where they shop!) and the beds/linens/blankets were incredibly comfortable and cozy. Kitchen was stocked and there was ample shelving to store groceries. Kevin was an amazing host and always answered my questions within minutes of me sending them. I’ve stayed at a lot of rental properties and this place is one of my very favorites. It’s an incredibly special home that’s very close to Nashville and other larger towns. You will love your stay here!

Felt like home

Beautiful home with so many little touches that created a real “home” experience. Owners really pay attention to all the details that made our family feel comfortable. The house is beautifully decorated and renovated. Absolutely charming!! Walking distance to downtown coffee shop and restaurants.

Collage visits & Fall Break

Hidden Gem!! Beautiful old house carefully modernized and one of the few places we've ever rented that the pictures and description were dead on. Kevin was a great host.

Quaint Portland TN Farmhouse

Excellent stay - comfortable for us and two other couples. A few minutes from KY Downs horse track and The Mint Casino. Beautifully restored farmhouse - original hardwoods and trim. Nice living area for gathering. Highly recommend The Brickyard restaurant in nearby Franklin KY for dinner and brunch at Milo’s in Portland. Or road-trip into Nashville. Property manager Kevin was very responsive and helpful with local recommendations. We will stay here again.
