About this property

Slightly Off Retreat is truly a gem: peaceful, comfortable, close to everything! A unique, fun apartment that features a full bath, 2 bedrooms (queen and full beds), huge den, kitchen and laundry room. Most guests find it hard to leave the covered porch with the idyllic view.
This is an unusual find in historic Lockeland Springs, situated next to Shelby golf course with wooded acreage behind. Enjoy the view and solitude while being only minutes away from the Country Music Hall of Fame, museums, and more. Downtown is 3 miles away (Uber/Lyft is easy & affordable), but much is in walking and biking distance -- Coffee shops, amazing restaurants, bakeries, bars and shops.
Located on the bottom level of a beautiful East Nashville home, Slightly Off is completely separated from the owner's residence upstairs, with its own entrance, driveway and carport. You will find board games, books, WiFi, ROKU TV, DVD/VHS/CD players & DVDs/VHSs to play. And because it’s music city, a guitar, banjo, and djembe are in the apartment. A stage sits in the back yard that hosts house concerts (don't worry. not during your stay;)
Shelby Park is a large city park a few blocks away; it features a public golf course, driving range, tennis courts, playgrounds, duck pond, ball fields, and walking paths in the wetlands preserve. Shelby Bottoms has miles of green ways to walk, jog, or bike alongside the Cumberland River. In the immediate neighborhood, you will find great local art, shop cool boutiques and eat at fantastic restaurants.
Guests reviews describe the experience best, so please take your time to read those.

Nashville - July

Very nice!! Clean, well-kept. Everything we could need was there. Great view. Very good neighborhood. We communicated with the owner a couple times and she was prompt in her replies (almost immediately). We met her outside and had a good conversation.

Great host, awesome space

We traveled with our 6 year old and 4 year old sons and this was a perfect spot for our family! Our boys loved all of the toys and movie paraphernalia in the living room. The space is very eclectic and the outdoor area is wonderful. Kelli was a very responsive and gracious host. We would definitely stay here again!

Home away from home

What an amazing property to spend a weekend with your friends! Everything was nice, clean and organized for us when we arrived. Probably the best part was waking up in the mornings on the porch overlooking the golf course, listening to music, and spending time with friends! The fire place was a great addition, which we used two nights in a row. Kelli was amazing and even came down a couple time to check up on us! By far one of the best rental properties I’ve been to in a long time

Beyond Expectations

The location of this rental can be described as “ideal” for whatever your interests are while visiting. Kelli’s home overlooks a golf course providing beautiful sunrise/sunsets for your enjoyment from the personal patio but yet close to all the attractions Nashville has to offer. If you are a walker/runner don’t miss the beautiful Shelby Park with its miles & miles of hiking/running trails, less than a mile from the rental. Downtown is a short distance away, about 2.5 miles & Uber is an inexpensive, easy, safe way to get to/from. The apartment itself is stocked with all the extras; shampoo, conditioner, abundance of towels, etc. One of my favorites is the high end washer & dryer provided & it’s all yours!! Along with the cleanliness of the apartment the decorations certainly reflect Nashville history. We would HIGHLY recommend this hidden gem and hopefully can return to Kelli’s little piece of paradise in Nashville soon. Thank you Kelli for helping create beautiful memories!!

Hidden Gem

My teenage son I came to Nashville for a concert at the Ascend Amphitheater. This home was perfect for us! Kelli was a gracious host and the home was ready upon our arrival. The porch overlooking the golf course was the perfect place for morning coffee. My son bought a guitar during our first afternoon in town and thoroughly enjoyed playing it on the backyard Little Hollywood Bowl stage. The home is close to all things downtown without being in the hustle and bustle of downtown. It is just 30 minutes to Franklin, which has its own walkable downtown area and a nice public golf course. We greatly appreciated the pay-it-forward items in the fridge and snacks on the counter as they allowed us to have a quick bite and cold beverage without needing to rush out to a store or restaurant after a day of travel. The home is exactly as described in the listing. The beds and furniture are comfortable and it is well stocked with linens and other necessities. The kitchen is adequately equipped to prepare home cooked meals and there are plenty of great restaurants in the neighborhood without needing to head into downtown. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. Inclement weather ruin your plans for the day? No worries, there is a large selection of movies and games for an entertaining day indoors. When I return to Nashville with friends or family Slightly Off Retreat will be my go-to lodging from now on!

This place is perfect if you’d like to explore the city of Nashville but also start your days peacefully with a fantastic view. Ubers were only about $10-15 to Downtown even at the busiest times. Kelli was so friendly and accommodating, and the place itself had everything we needed. Thanks for a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Kelli Katrice Gore

I've been a resident of East Nashville, specifically historic Lockeland Springs, since 1996. Grew up in Nashville -- LOVE my city and this neighborhood, in particular. I'm a realtor who has had a BLAST since 2013 renting to folks from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

Independent, creative, odd-ball spirit embues this neighborhood and that's right up my alley. It's given birth to a terrific restaurant and shopping scene. Shelby park and Shelby Bottoms (a wetland preserve) are a few blocks over and offer great walking and biking trails.

What makes this property unique

The apartment looks out on historic Shelby golf course. Incredibly unique to stare out over quiet rolling hills as the sun comes up or moon rises. The carport is awesome and the porch is superb.
