We travel a lot. This was one of the accommodations that we will absolutely return. Wonderful stay. We were there for the state basketball championship and it felt almost like we had a home away from home. The convenience to the glass house was unmatched.

The cottage was absolutely adorable. It was everything we needed. Only 30 minutes away from The Opry, Broadway & The Country Music Hall of Fame. It was so peaceful after a day walking about. Communicating with Denise was a breeze. She was so thoughtful with all the little gems and touches with the cottage and extremely helpful with the recommendations on places to eat. Our family would definitely stay her again. 10 out of 10!

Just arrived home from a fabulous mini-vacation at this sweet cottage in downtown Murfreesboro. Loved the gated parking area and fenced yard, the hot tub was perfect on this chilly vacation. We enjoyed all the rooms, and the beds were spot on, with firm mattresses! Convenient location to shopping, and such, although we fixed most of our meals during our stay, instead of eating out. There are plenty of TV's in the home, so you can watch everywhere. It was the perfect getaway. Thank you!
