Perfect getaway

Everything about this property is amazing. The home is beautiful, the neighborhood is beautiful, and the hosts have thought of Everything. The evening we arrived there were terrible stoms and tornadoes going thru TN. The host messaged us and kept us aware of the weather conditions we would be driving in to. We appreciated that so much considering we were in unfamiliar territory. We have stayed in several vrbo properties over the years but this one is my favorite and by far these are the best hosts we've ever had. I would give 6 stars if i could.

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Haynes

Dan and I have called Murfreesboro home for 25 years. We raised our 3 sons here and all of them graduated from MTSU, so we are fans! We have always loved the charming vibe of our historic downtown square and have dreamed of owning a cottage in this area. When this one came open in May of 2020, we jumped at the opportunity! We both have the gift of hospitality and thrive on creating memorable experiences for others. It is our hope this historic cottage will provide many special times for friends and families!

Murfreesboro is an awesome place to live and play and downtown Nashville is only a 35 min drive away! We are proud to be a Premiere Partner with HomeAway. Book now for a 5 star hospitality experience!

Why they chose this property

This home is one house off historic and beautiful Main Street, is 3/10ths of a mile from MTSU and a 1/2 mile to the downtown square. We have taken special care to make this cottage a delight for you and your family. It has a welcoming and cozy feel. The back courtyard is private and is a delightful hide away to enjoy the peace and beauty of nature.
