3 mothers, 3 daughters, and one grandmother rented this cute house to stay in while our daughters competed at an equestrian show. We had a great time and will definitely try to rent it again next year. Great location, great yard with hot tub for the girls to unwind, and very clean.

This cottage stay was beyond excellent. I love finding places with history and stories when I travel, and this home definitely fits the bill. The host, Denise, was lovely and attentive throughout our entire trip, also. I can't say enough about how well cared for and comfortable we felt. There are rules for this home, please be prepared to respect that when you come here. I don't say that to be critical at all, just expect it and be courteous of this home's history. This is a historic building, and I appreciate the attention to detail and the high standards for anyone who stays here. It's clear a lot of effort has been put into maintaining this home and the property itself. We also appreciated the security of the area, the amenities, and the convenient location to everything we wanted and needed while in Murphreesboro. We also loved the aesthetic flair of the place, too. We plan to try to stay here whenever we come back to visit!

What a beautiful place to stay! The area was quant and walkable. The house was larger than we were expecting, allowing for plenty of room for people to “spread out” and relax when needed. The house was stocked well, and the host was available for questions We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would come back/recommend to friends and family!

We had a great experience at this VRBO in Murfreesboro. The location was perfect—just a short and pleasant walk to downtown, which made it super convenient to explore the local shops, restaurants, and historic sites. The neighborhood felt safe and welcoming, and the home itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Communication with the Denise was smooth and responsive. We’d definitely stay here again next time we’re in town!

Cute and historic

Overall the property and hosts were amazing. They live on the grounds and although they were working in the yard, they never invaded your personal space while staying there. I have to say that the street noise was a tad much but to be expected with the proximity to downtown. Historic touches throughout the home along with the grounds made for a beautiful backdrop for our trip.
