EARLY CHECK-IN
I absolutely wish we could offer an early check-in! However, this is a large property that takes between 6-10 hours to prepare for the next guest after someone checks out. It usually is not ready until right at 5 PM. We will always let you know if it does happen to be ready any earlier. The ONLY way to guarantee early access will be to book the night before your reservation.

Estate in the Suburbs

You could feel the history of this home. The old wooden floors, large spiraling staircase. But it had all the amenities of a new home. We had 14 people stay the weekend and never felt crowded. The shower and toilet in each bedroom was a perfect addition and made getting ready so easy. The location is fair, not too far from Nashville and downtown tucked into a suburb. The host was great and very responsive to questions.

Beautiful Historic Home

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful historic estate! The property is very well kept, including the large swimming pool. It felt very clean and was the perfect size for my family's vacation (12 adults and 2 children under 3). The linens and appliances are all high quality which was a very nice extra. The hosts were great to deal with and replied quickly. I would absolutely reccommend this house!! Thanks so much Savannah for hosting us!

The perfect stay!

I had my bachelorette party here. It is such a gorgeous home. It fit me and my 13 friends perfectly/comfortably. The pool is a big plus. The place was clean, the host was super nice and helpful through the whole experience. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. We didn’t want to leave!
