All I can say is wow! Loved the eclectic decor. We spent Saturday afternoon watching football on the patio outside and loved it. The neighborhood has lots of good restaurants and feels safe. I would stay here again.

Simply amazing. My family and I loved staying at this property. The house is absolutely stunning. We loved the decorations, themes, and reading the notes about the pieces. If you're going to Memphis you must experience this house.

Wonderful Stay

This property is a magical place with lots of hidden details that make it even more special. It was close to everything we wanted to visit but was in a quiet area. Loved this place so much and would love to visit again!

Four of us had a great time staying here for three nights and exploring both the Cooper Young neighborhood and Memphis. The photos in the listing are accurate, making it a unique VRBO. We prepared a couple of simple breakfasts and found the kitchen well equipped. We also appreciated the excellent lighting in all of the rooms.There are good restaurants within a few blocks and the neighborhood is lovely to walk in. We’d definitely stay there again if we come to Memphis.

My best friend and I came to celebrate Pride in Memphis, this house was decorated with so much color, chic glam, history and a true wonderland for any visitors that come to its haven. Incredible stay! The garden is so peaceful, the beds so comfy, Bluetooth in every room. Hosts were so generous & accommodating, thank you!

This house was by far the most beautiful and creative home our family has stayed in. The owners are extremely mindful for making your stay feel like you are in a luxe hotel. From robes hanging for you in each closet, to gold utensils, and a gorgeous coffee bar, they have definitely set the bar high for other rentals. Their welcome guide book was very helpful, along with all the kitchen drawers labeled for easy access. This home was worth the trip, what an incredible experience at The Wonderland Hall!

All time favorite booking

This house was jaw-droppingly incredible, and an absolute work of art. It truly feels like you are staying in a wonderland. Every room has its own personality, with 100% attention to detail. Every amenity was high end and exceeded our expectations.

A Real 10

I don’t usually give 10s because of what that implies. However, if this is not a 10, I’m not sure what is. It may not be everybody’s cup of tea, but it was excellent and had everything. Well done!!

We absolutely loved our stay here. The home truly felt like staying in a museum, every detail was beautiful and thoughtfully kept. Home was spotless. The gardens were stunning, and with the perfect Memphis weather, we got to enjoy them at their best.We had a funny moment thinking the TV might be in the shed (because we once stayed at a rental that actually did have a media room in theirs!) but then realized it’s right on the side of the house. In our defense, it wasn’t the wildest guess.The street itself was so peaceful, and the neighbors we met were genuinely friendly, it added to the charm of the whole experience. The only thing we could have wished for was an EV charger outlet, but not a deal breaker.This place will definitely stay on our list for future Memphis visits. Just lovely.

Beautifully decorated, meticulously clean. It’s loaded with interesting decor without feeling cluttered or overwhelming. I adore the descriptions posted, like walking through a gallery. The binder of before and after was a great addition. Great coffee shops and restaurants in easy walking distance, and I love being near the train tracks. That back patio is absolutely wonderful and I wish we had more time and more people with us to truly enjoy it. My only issue was definitely a me problem. I could figure out how to deactivate the motion sensor on the sitting room chandelier, and that puppy is bright. Definitely not a negative, just a shock at 6 in the morning :). We didn’t use many of the supplies, but the place seems very well stocked for cooking and coffee/tea. Five stars all around!
