Welcome to my charming cottage, nestled just minutes away from the vibrant energy of lower Broadway's famous Honky Tonks and the iconic Ryman Auditorium. Whether you're here for a game and Nissan Stadium is your destination, or you're eager to explore the trendy restaurants, coffee shops, and local watering holes near the historic "5 Points" neighborhood, our location is truly central.

Guests Arrival:

When you reserve your visit you are given the code for your easy access to self-check in. I am available by text or cell in the event you need anything or have any questions while you enjoy your stay.

The Neighborhood:

The cottage is located in the most popular neighborhood in Nashville and just minutes away from downtown and lower Broadway’s famous Honky Tonks and the world famous Ryman Auditorium. You are also a short drive to Nissan stadium and many hip restaurants, coffee shops, music venues and local drinking establishments near our historic “5 Points” neighborhood in East Nashville.

Getting Around:

If you prefer not to drive, the public transit system is less than 2 blocks away, however I suggest you use Uber or Lyft for easy connivence getting around our city.
The cottage is just under 4 miles by car to I-24 making it an easy access to venture out and tour other parts of Nashville and/or drop in on the many music venues all within 10 to 15 minutes from the cottage.

We are located just blocks from the Music City Bikeway which has direct access to downtown.

Enjoy a stroll, run or bike ride through Shelby Bottoms Park located just one block from your front door. The park offers over 800 acres of wetlands and trails that run along the Cumberland River where you might catch sight of the General Jackson Showboat chugging down the river.

There is also Vinny Links golf course a few blocks away.

On the other side of the Cumberland is the Grand Ole Opry. Take in a concert or go shopping at the Opry Mills Mall but don’t miss a walk through the spectacular atrium at the Opryland Hotel. It's free to stroll through a tropical jungle-like atmosphere with shops and eating places, there is even a boat ride on the river that runs through the hotel, all of this is located within the same vicinity.

Nashville's recently updated airport is also easily accessible and less than 9 miles (approx. 16 minutes) from the guest cottage.

Great place to stay!

This little apartment was a great place to stay during our vacation to Nashville. This neighborhood is close to everything and feels so safe. It’s a great place to go for a walk or a run. We will definitely try to stay here again if it is available.

Pleasant stay in a pleasant cottage!

The cottage we stayed in was pleasant and clean. The neighborhood was charming, quiet, and safe. We enjoyed being close to Shelby Park. Downtown Nashville was a short drive from the property. There are so many things to do jn the surrounding area if you want to explore.

My husband and I stayed in this cozy cottage in East Nashville for 6 days the week before Thanksgiving.

Perfect spot to stay in Nashville

This adorable cottage is in the perfect location for a visit to Nashville. Literally minutes from any activity from downtown partying to a visit to the Opry. The cottage was clean, beautifully decorated, (I even asked where to get the comforter!) and very cozy. Cynthia, the owner, was gracious and easy to get a hold of when needed. I would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to avoid a hotel and craving peace and quiet.

Quiet, clean and comfortble

Had a great 4 night stay in this adorable cottage. Well equipped kitchen and large fridge, which we appreciated since we did a lot of our meals at home. Covered porch was nice for coffee in the morning, especially when we had rain showers. Close to Shelby Park where we went every morning for a walk. Easy drive to Nissan stadium where we parked to go into downtown. Would stay here again.

Return visit

This was our second stay in Shelby Hills. Enjoy the quiet neighborhood. Close enough to downtown to get there quickly yet far enough to get away from it too. Shelby park is only a couple blocks away and is beautiful. Cottage is a small cozy place that is ideal for a couple. Thanks Cynthia for another enjoyable stay. We’ll be back again.

Great location

Great location. Plenty to do in a short distance. It was a nice clean cottage. Appreciated having a house experience rather than a hotel. Price was competitive to area hotels. Perfect size for a couple, but because of the size, it is not a place to take a family. Only drawbacks were parking in an alley, when there is a spot inside the fence. Not enough towels provided for the whole stay, but we we’re asked to not wash them. And someone walked through yard to take trash out.

Birthday surprise

I booked this lovely cottage for a long weekend get a way to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The cottage was clean, kitchen stocked with supplies to cook with - even a carrot peeler (other rentals haven’t had this simple tool) and was a relaxing place to return after our daily activities. The nearby local restaurants were a pleasant surprise- Lockland Table, pizza place across from LT, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream and The Pharmacy. Loved walking in Shelby Park - it’s literally down the block. Book it- you’ll be glad you did.

Cottage in the city

Within minutes from downtown. We enjoyed our stay in this little cottage. Nice new shower. Quiet. Private. It is tricky getting your car parked along fence line in alleyway. There is a main house on this property fairly close. I wouldnt recommend anymore then 2 people in this unit as it is a small space with 3 basic rooms. But overall good.

A tranquil escape at a cute cottage

This cottage was a restful reprieve after exploring the city. It was the perfect size for two and gave my husband and I a "home away from home" feeling. Its obvious Cynthia is an experienced host. From the information we were given ahead of time and that which we recieved upon check-in, my husbnd and I were well informed. She was even willing to accomodate a special request which was so appreciated. I could not recommend more. Im already trying to convince my husband to buy the same couch she had in the cottage. So comfy!

Short stay, two nights

The room was rather shabby and I don’t mean shabby chic. No long mirrors to check yourself out before going to a wedding. Entry is from the alley which is gravel. as well as a gravel walkway and square stepping stones to the cottage (not good if you are dressed up, pulling luggage or getting back to the cottage after dark. Limited counter space in the bathroom. No tissues.

We loved our stay at the cozy cottage! The location was great with many restaurant options nearby, plus a great Coffee Shop/restaurant only a few minutes away. The bed was very comfortable & the amenities great! You are only 20 minutes from the Grand Old Opry and ten minutes to downtown Nashville.

Why they chose this property

We chose this area because East Nashville is so central and easy to get around. It’s a quiet neighborhood just a block from over 800 acres of trails and wetlands. The Cumberland River is right over the hill, so you can enjoy peaceful nature walks along the river and through the park trails. Restaurants, bars, and local music venues are only minutes away, and downtown is a quick 5 minute drive for amazing live music—much of it free. With easy access to I-24 and the airport, a 15 minute drive, almost everything in Nashville is just 15 minutes away.

What makes this property unique

Nestled in a quiet, historic neighborhood once home to railroad workers, this charming cottage dates back to the 1800s. Just steps away, Shelby Bottoms Park spans over 800 acres of wetlands, scenic trails, a lake, and a nature center—ideal for walking, running, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Despite the peaceful surroundings, downtown Nashville is only minutes away, where you can experience the live music and vibrant energy that make the city such a beloved destination.

The cottage is a cozy retreat, offering a peaceful place to relax and recharge. It features a full kitchen, so you can prepare everything from a quick breakfast to a homemade dinner with ease. Step out onto the front porch overlooking the courtyard to start your morning with freshly brewed coffee or unwind in the evening with your favorite beverage, all while listening to the gentle sounds of songbirds. Whether you’re cooking, sipping coffee, or simply soaking in the calm, this cottage is the perfect home base for your Nashville getaway.
