About this property

Family & Pet Friendly Home away from home -MTSU: 2 miles, Sports Complex: 4.5 mi

Welcome to the Summit Haven Retreat! Modern living only 2 miles from MTSU and a 29-mile commute to the Nashville International Airport! Bring your family and fur babies*, and enjoy the quiet and convenience of our quaint, family neighborhood. All the conveniences of home and central to all the great shopping and restaurants that the Boro has to offer. Luxurious bedding with super comfortable mattresses for that much needed R&R after a long day of Nashville fun! Blackout and near blackout curtains throughout for late sleepers. Fast broadband internet with free wifi during your stay. We have an electronic lock which also makes it easy for last minute reservations. Summit Haven Retreat is a private duplex w/shared back yard.

*Pet Stay Fee is $15/Night/Pet
We do have a pet crate policy for this home. When dogs are left unattended we ask that they remain in their crates. If you don’t have one, let us know in advance and we can provide a clean crate for $10 per day rental. We also request that the dogs stay off the furniture and beds. We (and future guests) appreciate your compliance with our pet policy.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

Exceptional Cleanliness
* Frequently called “spotless,” “super clean,” and “the cleanest rental we’ve stayed in”
* Professionally cleaned and carefully maintained every stay

Unmatched Comfort
* Extremely comfortable beds with quality linens and pillows
* Many guests say they “slept better here than at home”
* Cozy, calm atmosphere that’s perfect for unwinding

Truly Pet- & Family-Friendly
* Pets are genuinely welcome (not just allowed)
* Low beds (queen bed only), safe layout, and space that works well for kids
* Guests say their pets “felt right at home”

Thoughtful Extras That Make a Difference
* Coffee bar and welcome snacks
* Extra towels, blankets, and pillows
* Fully stocked kitchen with everything you need
* Washer & dryer for longer stays
* Backyard space for relaxing evenings
* Fire pit and grill (weather permitting)

Quiet Yet Convenient Location
* Peaceful neighborhood guests describe as “quiet and relaxing”
* Minutes to MTSU, downtown Murfreesboro, shopping, and restaurants
* Easy access for events, work trips, and family visits

Responsive, Caring Hosts
* Known for fast communication and flexibility
* Guests repeatedly mention feeling “taken care of” and “well supported”
* We’re proactive and quick to resolve anything that comes up

Good to Know Before Booking (Clear Expectations)

We believe great stays start with transparency:
* This home is part of a duplex / multi-unit property, meaning another rental is nearby.
Most guests say this did not affect their stay, but it’s important to know in advance. The design is brilliant! The bedrooms are on the outside walls, with adjoining wall bordering only the kitchen and dining room.
* The fire pit may be shared or accessed by another guest on occasion.
* The layout reflects the character of the home—some spaces (like a half bath) are compact, while the full bath is spacious and well-appointed.

Ideal For
✔ Families

✔ Pet owners

✔ Longer stays

✔ Visiting MTSU, Seigel Sports Complex, or local venues

✔ Guests who appreciate comfort, cleanliness, and care over flashy luxury

From the moment you arrive, it feels welcoming, calm, and thoughtfully prepared—like a true home away from home. Whether you’re traveling for work, visiting family, relocating, or enjoying time with pets and kids, this space is designed for comfort, rest, and ease. We take pride in creating a space where guests can truly relax—and we’d love to host you!

This property was perfect for our Murfreesboro stay. Very clean and comfortable. Everything was well-stocked - we had everything we needed and more. Brought our puppy and she settled in like home. We appreciated that reasonable pet fee. Jonathan's communication was amazing - he answered our questions immediately! Nice, quiet neighborhood. Great location - short distance from anything you want or need.

We needed a safe place to stop and relax for a day while driving across 6 states with all my work tools and trailer. The location, house, safety, check in/out and communication were all exceptional! We may stay here on the way back if available.

Quiet retreat for family

Our family had a relaxing place to go during the holiday fun. AC works great. Neighborhood is pleasant. Dana and Jonathan have done a great job setting up a beautiful stay. We only needed groceries and luggage. Everything else was there. I will recommend this to my family and friends visiting middle Tennessee.

Very cute house, one of the nicest rentals I’ve stayed in. They had lots of good amenities (coffee, breakfast foods, toiletries) and high quality linens. They were very accommodating with our dogs. We only stayed overnight on a road trip - lots of food options available around. Would recommend!

Cozy and Convenient

The king bed is very comfortable, the pots and pans are very easy to clean after home cooked meals, the neighborhood is very quiet, and it's very close to a Kroger and Walmart with plenty of food options in the area to pick up at for convenience. The owners are very friendly and quick to respond to our needs. My husband and I definitely enjoyed our stay.

Great place to stay!

We had a great time staying here & visiting our family in Murfreesboro. The home was very clean & had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked & well equipped to cook basic meals for our family. The dishes were clean and in good condition. The tap water does not have any weird smell. There were plenty of small cups and dishes for serving children. Overall, I recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful & quiet stay with our without small children. I will definitely consider staying here in the future when we come back to visit our family.
