We believe you will love staying on Mud Island. This home is located in an upscale community called Harbor Town, which is built along the Mississippi River. While you are here, we hope you will take advantage of the one block walk from the town house to the Mississippi River Walk (bring your walking shoes). Walking along the Mississippi River can be a soul-searching experience. Sunrise and sunset, in this town, can be mesmerizing to be sure.
You will be minutes away from all of the downtown action and after a great day, you can retreat to the peaceful environment of Mud Island and the comforts of this luxury townhouse. It is equipped with all the comforts of home and so much more. The house is completely furnished with antiques and original art in harmony with contemporary furnishings. It is a setting of both luxury and comfort. The private garage entrance makes parking easy and provides privacy. This has been a plus for those in the entertainment business. The home is stocked with supplies and linens. The kitchen is equipped with dishes, pots, pans and spices.
This home offers quick access to downtown excitement; we are minutes from: Tour agencies, The FedEx forum (NBA Grizzlies arena), The national civil rights museum, The Underground Railroad museum, The Orpheum Theater, Auto Zone baseball park, Peabody Place entertainment and shopping center, South main art district, the cannon, the downtown Memphis restaurants and world famous Beale Street.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the bed situation, specifically as to numbers and sizes? There are three sleeping arrangements, King sized bed in the master suite, A full sized bed in the second bedroom suite (both are upstairs) and a full sized sofa-bed in the bedroom/den downstairs. It is your call to decide if these sleeping arrangements will meet your needs. If there are three couples this may be ideal, but that is up to you. Each bedroom has an attached full bath. The house sleeps up to six people.
2. What is the best way to get downtown - cab, walk or drive? Our guests have done all three. It is a little over a mile to walk from the town house to the trolley on Main Street. Some have parked their cars at the base of the bridge and walked over the bridge to take the trolley. The bridge is only 2/10 of a mile long. Others drive the 4-6 minutes and park downtown at the many garages, meters, lots or free parking. Your drive to the action would be about 2-3 minutes were it not for the traffic lights.
3. Are cabs hard to get? Cabs are available, just look in the phone book at the town home and call them up. You can also catch them in front of the hotels on your way back.
4.May I have an address so I can map it? So sorry, we cannot give out the address until the house is booked, but you can use this address to get a general idea of directions and distance:
