Amazing house and back porch! We stayed at the house for a month and it had everything we needed. The host was very attentive to our questions. Within walking distance to restaurants and shopping.

Truly a top-notch home with thoughtful details that set it apart from most VRBO rentals. The house is beautifully decorated and incredibly comfortable. The host was outstanding with communication from start to finish. The walkable location to 12 South made it even better—such a fun area. Highly recommend!

It’s all about the small touches! Very responsive and accommodating host, extra efforts like leaving special treats for our furbaby, holiday decorations to make the home feel even more comfortable, and a fully stocked kitchen!

So grateful you were able to come back again and enjoyed your there!
Veronica’s house was fabulous. She has thought of everything and the house reflects her attention to detail. It is newly refurbished and beautifully decorated. It is a short walk to 12th St, full of shops and restaurants. And a short drive to downtown. We highly recommend her home and hope to return on our next trip to Nashville.

I’m so glad y’all enjoyed your stay at Blackbird Manor! It means a lot that you noticed the details and the care that went into the home. Thank you for the sweet words—and I hope to welcome you back next time you’re in Nashville! 🌿💛
Blackbird Manor was paradise for our family’s Nashville stay. All amenities were of the highest quality and the special touches outstanding. We were greeted with a guest bag of local products and a bottle of Prosecco. Veronica was easy to communicate with and even accommodated a late check out. Her recommendations for restaurants were outstanding. Location was perfect… easy walk to shopping and restaurants in 12 South and close drive to Broadway. Will book again when visiting our grandson.

Veronica and her hosting of her gorgeous home was a 10/10 experience from top to bottom. She made everything so easy, communicating every step of the way before check in and on the day of to make sure we were settled in easy without a hiccup. We were greeted by a beautiful welcome gift of foods and treats local to Nashville. The house was so clean and new, beautiful comfortable beds in every room. The yard was perfect for the dog, and sunlight beamed through the whole house all day. We used the gym and sauna and loved the back deck for sun bathing and relaxing. Veronica even went to far to send us a care package after my fiancee slammed her finger in a car door. A large delivery from CVS arrived within an hour of medical supplies, so thoughtful and generous of her. We will be staying here again everytime I come to nashville to record. My favourite experience ever renting a house. Highly recommend to anyone looking at staying in an amazing neighborhood with the best shops and food 1 block away! Top host!

Thank you so much for that thoughtful review! We’re grateful you took the time to share your experience. We truly appreciate the recommendation!
We had a wonderful stay at Blackbird Manor. We were travelling with our family, that included adult children, a 2 year-old and a dog. There was ample space for everyone and we appreciated staying in a proper “home,” vs. a hotel or condo. The house has everything we needed for our grandson: pack and play, high chair, baby plates/cutlery and our dog was well-equipped too, with a doggie water fountain and little milk bones. We loved the neighbourhood: walkable to 12 South with plenty of shopping and restaurants, and Belmont University is at the top of the street (my son ran on their track every day). There’s plenty of street parking right in front of the house. We had two cars with us, and never had an issue getting a spot. We’ll absolutely stay at Blackbird Manor on our next trip to Nashville!

Blackbird Manor • 12 South Nashville
I travel to Nashville quite often, and enjoy this part of town. This by far is the best rental I have ever booked. The property is decorated gorgeously, and it is completely stocked with everything you need. The beds are quite comfortable, and the host has thought of many small touches to add to making you feel you are right at home. Including anything you might need for a fur baby. We also utilized the gym equipment and sauna, which was a special treat. Before I left, I had checking availability for my next trip. I would give this 10 stars, but I’m afraid I’ll never be able to stay here again if the secret gets out.

About the host
Hosted by Veronica Hicks
I split my time between Nashville and Orange County and love creating spaces that feel like home for guests. Hosting is personal to me—I value thoughtful details, clear communication, and making sure people feel truly cared for during their stay. You might also spot my sidekick, Mr. Big—a fluffy Pomeranian who’s well-known in both neighborhoods!
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it captures the very best of what Nashville has to offer: charm, walkability, character, and community. Tucked between 12 South and Belmont Boulevard, the area is full of tree-lined streets, historic homes, and friendly neighbors. Just steps from luxury boutiques, local coffee shops, and award-winning restaurants, this neighborhood is ideal for visitors who want an authentic, elevated Nashville experience.
It’s also close to Vanderbilt, Belmont University, and Music Row, making it a perfect home base for professionals, families, and creatives alike. I love how vibrant yet relaxed the area feels—you can spend a day browsing shops or picnicking in Sevier Park, and be downtown in minutes for live music and nightlife. The blend of convenience, culture, and southern hospitality is hard to beat, which is why I love sharing it with guests.
What makes this property unique
This home offers the perfect blend of comfort, function, and style—designed for travelers who want more than just a place to sleep. Thoughtfully updated throughout, the property combines the charm of a 1930s cottage with modern amenities tailored to today’s guests.

It includes a variety of fitness equipment, a private infrared sauna, and plenty of space to keep up with your health routine while you travel. Whether you’re in town for work or an extended stay, the wellness amenities provide a major upgrade from typical accommodations.
Each of the three bedrooms is outfitted with adjustable beds, perfect for reading, relaxing, or enjoying a movie on the wall-mounted TVs. The flexible configurations offer customized comfort—something guests consistently appreciate.
Outside, you’ll find a spacious front porch that adds to the home’s curb appeal and offers a great place to sip coffee, catch up on emails, or unwind at the end of the day. Additional highlights include a dedicated office, a newly built rear deck, upgraded kitchen appliances, and stylish furnishings that strike the right balance between upscale and approachable.
Set in one of Nashville’s most sought-after neighborhoods—just blocks from 12 South, Belmont, and Music Row—this property provides both convenience and character in equal measure.
