Our family traveled to Nashville for our daughter’s wedding last weekend and the house was a good size. It’s charming from the curb and has a beautiful backyard area with nice seating, fireplace and hot tub that we really enjoyed. The check in process was simple, the location was great and there was good communication with the host. The house itself needs to be updated, especially the carpets and the staircase wall coverings which are filthy.The house was well stocked which made our stay easier and there was plenty of parking.
We booked this location because our daughter was due to have her baby. When we arrived, we were welcomed with a chalkboard sign welcoming our family and the new baby. A beautiful potted plant for the mommy was waiting inside. I say this to show how hospitable the owners are. Everything inside was clean. The kitchen was well appointed. More than enough room for everyone! We will for sure book again. Thank you Rick and Cindy
This property was a wonderful home to celebrate our Thanksgiving holiday with family. We actually felt as though we were welcomed into an extended family member’s beautiful home. The owners were so welcoming, friendly and cared about every aspect of our stay. They were quick to communicate with us whenever we had a question. Also a wonderful, safe location that was close to so many great things to do in Nashville. I would highly recommend this home for a wonderful stay in Nashville.
The property was amazing. Lots of room for our large group of 7. We were in town for our daughter’s wedding & stayed a week. The property location was perfect. Very close to the highway so it seemed that everything was a quick 10-15 minute drive.
Rick & Candy, our hosts were phenomenal regarding communication. Extremely thorough & quick with responses. I have never stayed at a Vrbo that was so well stocked with everyday necessities in the kitchen & bathrooms. I did not even need to go to the store.
This was just a truly lovely property to stay with our family & only made our “wedding week” better.
From the booking process to the check-in and check-out, the owner communication was flawless.
Upon check-in, I was in awe. I was left special gifts for myself and family as well as a welcoming sign at the front door and handwritten note on the kitchen counter. This was such a special and much appreciated touch. This home was so cozy, comfortable and welcoming. Plenty of space to relax whether we were just reading, enjoying the hot tub or relaxing around the fire. A short distance to Broadway and shopping.
I have never booked a home prior to this one that put so much effort into ensuring our trip was a great experience. It is the small details that make the experience memorable. I would highly recommend this home to anyone. I had such a great experience in booking and staying in this home that I left the owners a token of our appreciation. Thank you Rick and Candy for sharing your beautiful home.
Charming, Cozy, Convenient are the three words that describe this property. With four bathrooms it easily accommodated my family. Well stocked, close to downtown and restaurants away from downtown in a safe neighborhood. Hosts were great and communicated well.
We loved staying in your home for a week. 4 room and 4 bathrooms worked out perfectly for the 8 Canadians.
We loved and appreciated all the little extra's such as the welcoming snacks. So nice to open the door and feel to welcome to your home.
We love the inviting backyard with the covered pergola. At night we would sit in your backyard and just enjoy chatting about our day.Thanks you for big supply of towels, the games, umbrellas and the pamphlets of things to see in Nashville. We love your city so much.

After having stayed in many VRBO homes in the past, I have to say this was the absolute best experience we ever had. The hosts attention to detail and communication skills were far above anyone I’ve ever dealt with previously. The home was beautiful, clean, spacious and in a very convenient and safe area. There is nothing I would have changed except to stay much longer. L O L. I would highly recommend this property and look forward to coming back again.
I can't say enough good things about the homeowners' welcoming and frequent communication and the amenties in the home. This is the best VRBO we have ever stayed in and the best owners!
We were there for a Vandy graduation weekend, and Candy and Rick went out of their way to add to the celebration and treated us like family. The house has everything you could need and we brought so much stuff that was already there for us to use; coffee, tea, creamers, spices, tons of dishes, utensils, ice, laundry soap, shampoo, conditioner, face wipes, plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, tons of towels, blow up bed, extra blankets, pillows, etc.
So grateful for a perfect weekend!
Thank you Candy and Rick... For everything!!
We came to Nashville with our adult children and their spouses. The property was the best equipped property we have stayed at. We loved the back yard. What a great way to wind down the day after taking in the Nashville fun. We would definitely stay here again. Four comfortable bed rooms.
Rick & Candy were very welcoming and the attention to detail was appreciated! Not only was everything exactly as mentioned, they also went above & beyond by having little extras, including delicious miniature Bundt Cakes for all of us to enjoy! Thank you so much! We had an amazing trip!
Staying at this place made our trip 10x better than we could have ever imagined! Great house, perfect location and the hosts went above and beyond to make our trip so special for my husband’s 30th birthday! Will definitely stay here again!
Nice house in quiet area not far from Broadway. Hosts had many details covered—too many to list. We communicated a couple little issues; the host addressed them so quickly that everyone in the group was shocked. I highly recommend this VRBO (or any others managed by these people).
Even with the city shutdown we had a great time.
Some of our friends had flights canceled and we were able to get them back to the house.
If we could rate Rick and Candy higher, we would.
They are 10.0 Star host's.
We booked for my sister-in-laws 50th bday celebration. House was nicely stocked and comfortably slept the 7 of us.
Location was perfect - 10 min Uber ride to the Broadway excitement and yet safe and quiet neighborhood. Fantastic long weekend in Nashville!
We cannot say enough about our experience!
- owners wrote us a handwritten card welcoming us and had Nothing Bundt cakes in the fridge
- owners checked in everyday letting us know the weather
- we have never seen a home so fully stocked with amenities! They had everything. Ladies, you are well taken care of with hair supplies. There are tons of games and we could have cooked our own thanksgiving dinner with all the supplies they had in the kitchen.
- my dad got to Nashville before anyone and because the rental was ready, the owners saw him on the ring cam and welcomed him in. He was so thankful and gladly grabbed the in law quarters downstairs.
- the beds were so cozy with a selection of pillows and soft sheets!
- the backyard was simply beautiful. We took advantage of every area.
We stay at a LOT of vacation homes and we have NEVER seen a place this stocked with amenities! Checking out was a breeze too. They literally take care of everything. I sure hope we get to stay here again. Getting to downtown as well as the airport was so simple. We have a family member who is a cop in the area and he said that the neighborhood is one of the safest!
Thank you thank you thank you for making our family feel so welcome and for bringing the Nashville Charm to your home!
My family took a weekend to celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday. We had 4 generations together at this beautiful home. Everything was as described and more. Kitchen was well stocked as well as bathrooms. Rick and Candy were so helpful from start to finish. Do not hesitate to stay at this house. Close to many things. The backyard is cozy and a nice place to take a break when needed!
Thanks for a memorable stay!
My friends and I had a wonderful stay at this well stocked house- tons of linens, towels, toiletries, coffee and tea, and although we didn’t cook, plenty of spices and basic staples. Although we never met him in person, Rick was an amazing host - extremely responsive and provided tons of useful information and even left us a welcome treat. There is a keypad entry and alarm system for easy and safe entry. The back patio was a great place to hang out, and all the beds and sofa were very comfortable. Walking distance to a coffee shop and Centennial Park, and a 10 min Lyft to downtown areas. Nice view just a ten minute walk from Love Circle.
What a perfect home to stay in! Every need of ours was anticipated. Fully stocked kitchen with every spice you can think of. The bathrooms had extra toothbrushes, shampoos, lotions, etc. If you forget anything, don't worry! Rick and Candy have it for you at the house. They were awesome to work with. Very responsive about anything with the house and so helpful with suggested restaurants, etc. You will not go wrong by renting this home!! 100 Stars!!!
My husband and I, along with his three brothers and their wives, had a lovely family reunion in Nashville. The premises were immaculate and so well stocked that several of us realized that there were supplies that we should also have at home. The host left an abundance of information and was so responsive that he spent quite a lot of time trying to help with problems entirely outside his area of responsibility. Our single caveat is that the bedrooms can only be accessed by stairs, which may be a problem for some people. Otherwise, you can’t do better .
Perfect place to get away from the city. If you don’t like staying in the house on the bustle short Uber drive beautiful home well worth it.

My wife and I are retired airline professionals who spent a career in worldwide travel. That makes us sensitive to travelers service needs. We lived in Nashville for over 30 years. We love it and know you will too!
