About this property
Family & Pet Friendly Home away from home -2 mile/MTSU, 4.5 mile/Sports Complex
Welcome to the Summit Haven Retreat! Modern living only 2 miles from MTSU and a 29-mile commute to the Nashville International Airport! Bring your family and fur babies*, and enjoy the quiet and convenience of our quaint, family neighborhood. All the conveniences of home and central to all the great shopping and restaurants that the Boro has to offer. Luxurious bedding with super comfortable mattresses for that much needed R&R after a long day of Nashville fun! Blackout and near blackout curtains throughout for late sleepers. Fast broadband internet with free wifi during your stay. We have an electronic lock which also makes it easy for last minute reservations. Summit Haven Retreat is a private duplex w/shared back yard.
*Pet Stay Fee is $15/Night/Pet
We do have a pet crate policy for this home. When dogs are left unattended we ask that they remain in their crates. If you don’t have one, let us know in advance and we can provide a clean crate for $10 per day rental. We also request that the dogs stay off the furniture and beds. We (and future guests) appreciate your compliance with our pet policy.
Why Guests Keep Coming Back
Exceptional Cleanliness
* Frequently called “spotless,” “super clean,” and “the cleanest rental we’ve stayed in”
* Professionally cleaned and carefully maintained every stay
Unmatched Comfort
* Extremely comfortable beds with quality linens and pillows
* Many guests say they “slept better here than at home”
* Cozy, calm atmosphere that’s perfect for unwinding
Truly Pet- & Family-Friendly
* Pets are genuinely welcome (not just allowed)
* Low beds (queen bed only), safe layout, and space that works well for kids
* Guests say their dogs “felt right at home”
Thoughtful Extras That Make a Difference
* Coffee bar and welcome snacks
* Extra towels, blankets, and pillows
* Fully stocked kitchen with everything you need
* Washer & dryer for longer stays
* Backyard space for relaxing evenings
* Fire pit and grill (weather permitting)
Quiet Yet Convenient Location
* Peaceful neighborhood guests describe as “quiet and relaxing”
* Minutes to MTSU, downtown Murfreesboro, shopping, and restaurants
* Easy access for events, work trips, and family visits
Responsive, Caring Hosts
* Known for fast communication and flexibility
* Guests repeatedly mention feeling “taken care of” and “well supported”
* We’re proactive and quick to resolve anything that comes up
Good to Know Before Booking (Clear Expectations)
We believe great stays start with transparency:
* This home is part of a duplex / multi-unit property, meaning another rental is nearby. Most guests say this did not affect their stay, but it’s important to know in advance. The design is brilliant! The bedrooms are on the outside walls, with adjoining wall bordering only the kitchen and dining room.
* The fire pit may be shared or accessed by another guest on occasion.
* The layout reflects the character of the home—some spaces (like a half bath) are compact, while the full bath is spacious and well-appointed.
Ideal For

✔ Pet owners
✔ Longer stays

From the moment you arrive, it feels welcoming, calm, and thoughtfully prepared—like a true home away from home. Whether you’re traveling for work, visiting family, relocating, or enjoying time with pets and kids, this space is designed for comfort, rest, and ease. We take pride in creating a space where guests can truly relax—and we’d love to host you!

About the host
Hosted by Dana and Jonathan
My family is made up of native Nashvillians, and the rest of us have grown up here. We've seen Nashville change from a quiet country town, to a busting metropolis that we scarcely recognize every time we visit downtown!
Our family loves traveling and visiting new places and especially other cultures! We also love movies (with one student in college for art, and the other studying film both at local universities)! Our youngest is still figuring out what he wants to do (for he has time), and he would love to talk to you about it if you give him the chance! :)
Our hosting personalities are to give you a peaceful, clean, and comfortable place to relax and spend time with families, whether you are visiting our great city or needing a place to stay because of home renovation or in town for work! We are happy to host you and look forward to a no drama and no surprises fees after you book or leave! As long as you treat our homes well, we are more than happy to treat you well!
We look forward to hosting you!!

Why they chose this property
This neighborhood is great! The home is a brilliantly designed, private duplex on the end of a short culdesac next to a high school in a pleasant area of Murfreesboro. On the northern side of Murfreesboro, it is a short distance from the local airport, a busy soccer complex, and more although you wouldn't know it from the peaceful location! It is a quiet neighborhood, but just minutes away from the action. We love it, and from our reviews, it appears our guests love it too!
What makes this property unique
Although it is a duplex, it's brilliantly designed with the bedrooms on the outside walls, so the only adjoining wall is the dining room and kitchen wall. The location is great, which explains why the neighbor has rented for years, and used to rent our home, but now rents the nextdoor matching duplex. We offer LG stackable washer and dryer in each home (I LOVE THEM!), little snacks and bottled water to refresh you upon arrival from your long drive in! The driveway is also long, and can accommodate larger vehicles than many other homes, just ask!
As hosts, we want you to enjoy your stay, so if something isn't great, PLEASE let us know and we are happy to fix it!
