We travel a lot. This was one of the accommodations that we will absolutely return. Wonderful stay. We were there for the state basketball championship and it felt almost like we had a home away from home. The convenience to the glass house was unmatched.

Just arrived home from a fabulous mini-vacation at this sweet cottage in downtown Murfreesboro. Loved the gated parking area and fenced yard, the hot tub was perfect on this chilly vacation. We enjoyed all the rooms, and the beds were spot on, with firm mattresses! Convenient location to shopping, and such, although we fixed most of our meals during our stay, instead of eating out. There are plenty of TV's in the home, so you can watch everywhere. It was the perfect getaway. Thank you!

We had an amazing stay at this Vrbo in downtown Murfreesboro. The historic vibe of the place was exactly what we were hoping for—you can really tell the owners put thought and care into preserving the charm while still making everything comfortable. The antique furniture was a highlight and made the space feel so unique and full of character.The bathrooms were also fantastic—especially the master shower. The dual shower heads were such a treat, the water pressure was great, and it heated up quickly and stayed nice and hot. It felt like a little luxury while still fitting the historic feel of the home.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone wanting a cozy, charming place right in the heart of town.
