The Starlight Retreat - Starry Nights & Huge Yard
Welcome to The Starlight Retreat — a peaceful country escape where guests can relax, explore, and enjoy nature at their own pace. Nestled on a quiet, private 1.5-acre lot, right outside of Nashville this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home comfortably sleeps up to 5 guests and offers the perfect balance of space, comfort, and convenience.
Why guests love staying here:
• Large private yard with plenty room to enjoy
• Calm, quiet setting away from busy roads and city noise
• Hosted by an experienced Superhost who values comfort, cleanliness, and clear communication
Nature by day, stars by night:
Mornings are filled with birdsong and peaceful views — the birds here are truly beautiful. In the evenings, gather outside by the fire pit and look up: on clear nights, the stars absolutely light up the sky. Guests often spot both the Big Dipper and Little Dipper, making stargazing a favorite family tradition during their stay
Comfortable & practical inside:
• Cozy living room for movie nights or board games
• Fully equipped kitchen for easy family meals
• Comfortable beds and thoughtfully arranged spaces so everyone can feel at home

About the host
Hosted by Lisa Jordan
Hi! I’m your host at The Starlight Retreat. With nearly a decade of hosting experience, and 20+ years in entertainment marketing and tour management, I’m detail-oriented, responsive, and love hosting guests. I focus on clear communication and creating a clean, comfortable space for guests. I enjoy the outdoors, international travel and teaching dance to youth; experiences that inspire my hosting. I’m happy to help make your stay relaxing and stress-free.
Why they chose this property
The Starlight Retreat is tucked into a peaceful, rural setting with beautiful trees lining the back of the property, creating a sense of privacy and tranquility. Despite the calm surroundings, the interstate is just a mile away, making it easy to explore Downtown Nashville, Opryland, East Nashville and local attractions without the stress of long drives. You get the best of both worlds: quiet country vibes and convenient access to everything the area has to offer.
What makes this property unique
Starry Nights & Stargazing-
Few rentals offer a sky like this! Guests can enjoy a clear, dark night where the stars truly come alive, often spotting both the Big Dipper and Little Dipper from the backyard. Combined with your fire pit evenings, this creates a magical, memorable experience not found in most Nashville-area rentals.
Peaceful, Private Country Setting-
The home offers a quiet escape from city life while still being only 20–25 minutes from Downtown Nashville. The combination of large yard (1.5 acres) and scenic surroundings gives guests a true “country retreat” feel, ideal for families, couples, or small groups.
Huge Outdoor Space for Play & Relaxation-
The property features a big yard perfect for kids to run, families to play, or guests to simply lounge and enjoy nature. It’s rare to find a rental this close to Nashville with such a spacious, open outdoor area.
Birdwatching & Nature-
Guests can enjoy mornings filled with beautiful birdsong, adding a peaceful, restorative element that enhances the rural escape.
Thoughtful, Experienced Hosting-
With nearly a decade of hosting experience, your attention to detail, smooth check-ins, and genuine enjoyment of welcoming guests make stays stress-free, comfortable, and personalized. This level of hosting adds warmth and trust that many properties lack.
Cozy, Comfortable Indoor Spaces-
The interior blends charm and practicality: comfy beds, a fully equipped kitchen, and inviting living areas make it ideal for families or friends looking for both relaxation and convenience.
