About this property

The Church on Tanglewood

Summary:
A uniquely renovated historic church in Cooper Young with all the style, history, and comfort to compliment your Memphis stay!!

Built in 1920 as Cedar Grove Baptist Church and operated under many names through the years. It has been vacant since 1986. The church has since been "saved" by Griffin Elkington who turned it in to this 4 bed/2 bath Airbnb all while saving the integrity of the outside stone facade.

Managed by Superhosts 10 years straight!!!

The Space:
- Open space living room, dining room, kitchen that's perfect for family gatherings.
- 3 queen beds
- 2 twin beds

Guest Access:
The whole space is yours. You'll have access to both front and back doors by digital code. Parking is in the back.

The Neighborhood:
Make your way to the Cooper Young Neighborhood in Midtown Memphis. You’ll have arrived at a place both traditional and trendy, cosmopolitan and casual. You’ll discover boutique shopping and specialized retailers, alongside sophisticated restaurants and happy-hour hangouts. If you’re here on a Saturday, don’t miss the Cooper Young Farmer’s Market happening year round. Cooper Young is where art, culture, cuisine and commerce intersect in a fabric that weaves its way throughout this historical neighborhood, creating a lifestyle district all its own.

You are only 1 mile from the Overton Square neighborhood, where you'll find more Midtown restaurants, shops, music venues, Ballet Memphis and Playhouse on the Square.
At Overton Park you will find the Memphis Zoo, the Brooks Museum of Art, Overton Park Shell (famous outdoor music venue), a dog park, a golf course, a patch of woods with walking trails, as well as paved roads, and more.

This is a beautiful property in a little secluded area right off Cooper street, within walking distance of some of the best parts of the Midtown Memphis. It's a delightful space and delightfully quiet, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay with a large group or family in the middle of Memphis!

Neat place! Close to everything in a quiet, clean, and safe neighborhood..

The house was amazing, very clean and new, excellent hosting made everything easy. I was concerned about security/safety just based on Memphis reputation lately, but I was very pleasantly surprised, I felt comfortable the entire stay. There are tons of cool places to eat close enough to walk to. Will definitely stay again given the opportunity!

Easy and clean

The property was as expected, and communication with the owner was fast and helpful to resolve issues, such as we had when the code to the property was not working. Great location that is walking distance to liberty Stadium and the central commercial strip of Cooper Young. Highly recommend the property and the neighborhood to get a taste of real Memphis.

Daughters' graduation

This property is beautiful. the artwork on the walls gives it a warmness. there is a divine chandelier in the foyer that is very colorful and adds to the fireplace. the property is very clean, beds are absolutely comfortable. I need to add that the water pressure in bathrooms is awesome. I have been in VRBO's where the water pressure is horrible. Here is it nice and hot. The only downside was that the Livingroom tv would not stay connected to the WIFI. I had to use the Hotspot on my phone in order for us to watch movies. I would most stay here again. oh lets not forget the Pacman game machine. FREE FREE FREE! We had an awesome time playing it. Brought back memories for us old heads LOL
