Beyond Expectations
This place will wow you! They have restored the house with great attention to detail. It is amazing! The rooms and beds were so comfortable and roomy. The space is divided up so that you can reduce noise flow if people want to sleep when others do not. The kitchen is well stocked. The host was very communicative. Make sure you give the hot tub a little time to warm up before you use it but it is great. You can see lightning bugs flying around in the evening and it is a short walk into the heart of town. Just lovely!

5 Star Property
It’s amazing to think that this historic cottage was built in the late1800s. The renovation made it a beautiful, modern, tasteful home with the needed advantage of lots of electric outlets, perfect lighting in high ceilings, and fans that add just the right touch as the efficient A/C keeps the house at a perfect temp. It’s very well thought out for comfort! The kitchen has everything needed- all high quality. The 4 beds are very comfortable with high quality linens, quilts & throws. 4 TVs give plenty of options. The rooms are divided in such a way that there is privacy, including pane glass doors which give the feel of 2 wings of the house. That was perfect for our family of 6. The furnishings are high class and comfortable. I was amazed at the quiet within the house. I say this because we were in Murfreesboro during the Cicada brood activity and as soon as we closed the door, the sound was gone. The property is enclosed by a security gate so we felt extra safe even in such a nice area which is great for walking around older established homes away from the very busy thoroughfares of Murfreesboro. Pucketts is a 4 minute walk away as is the farmers market. The variety of fresh fruit & vegetables made shopping easy- also Publix less than 3 miles. The host is very responsive, kind & easy to work with. We didn’t use the spa, but it looked new & inviting-nice outdoor furniture & grill. Games for kids- perfect condition & selection. Great Wi-Fi! Great showers! Super clean! 5 Star!

About the host

Hosted by Denise Carter

Host profile image
We enjoy this journey together amidst the curve balls and bits of chaos. We have six children and are fortunate that some help us with our AirBnb. We enjoy hosting and meeting new people, traveling and experiencing different countries and cultures. We are thrilled to be learning this new real estate and hospitality industry. Our hope is that our enthusiasm will show in our guests experiences.

Why they chose this property

The history of the city and the charming neighborhood stole our hearts. The historic aspects of the homes and charming town square, the mature landscape and most importantly the neighbors we are so grateful to call friends.

What makes this property unique

Our historic cottage stands on the grounds of an iconic estate built by the Darrow Family formerly of Oaklands Mansion. The cottage was originally located on Main Street and later moved to its location. Through the decades it has stood the test of time adding charm to the neighborhood. The cottage has been added onto and renovated with a tasteful mix of period pieces boasting modern conveniences.
