The Space:
1,000 Sq ft. of fully renovated basement apartment set on 1 acre of land and a backyard dense with enormous trees. Super family friendly space. NO corners were cut in this passion project of ours. We created a space that our guests would feel inspired and relaxed in. Filled with high quality design elements from West Elm, a stunning kitchen with a HUGE waterfall island, leathered Quartz island, plenty of seating throughout, TWO 4k TV's (Direct TV App & streaming apps such as Disney Plus, Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc.), a working gas fireplace, a "Multicade" arcade cocktail table (with over 60 games like Pacman, Dig Dug, Qix to name a few), your own large patio space, your own thermostat & central HVAC system, & filled with all the amenities you need for an epic stay.
If you are traveling with any young kiddos/babies, we are happy to lend you any baby gear we have stored (pack and play, infant bath, bottle warmer). We've got a toddler, so that means we've got a lot of that baby stuff we'd happy to lend you during your stay. Just notify us prior to your stay and we'll be sure to make those items available to you!
THE TOUR:
Upon arrival, you'll pull into your own private parking spot, closest to the entrance of the apartment. You'll walk through your own serene furnished patio that will lead you to your front door. If arriving after dark, our exterior string lights are on a timer and will turn on at dark.
You'll walk in to a large open living room with lots of seating. One of the West Elm sofas is a Queen sleeper sofa. In the living room, a modern concrete working gas fireplace, with a custom-made mantel made by our friend and local woodworker Donny of Sawdust & Whiskey, a 55 inch flat screen 4K TV, and PACMAN arcade cocktail table that also has 60 other games! The living room also has an ultra comfortable Queen size Murphy bed that also serves as a fun design element. 4 can comfortably sleep in the living room.
The kitchen area has 9 different seating options between the bar/counter seating and the dining table. Our great open kitchen is perfect for eating in. The beautiful kitchen shelf, boasting organic shaped West Elm dish-ware, was also made locally by Sawdust & Whiskey. We provide many cookware essentials, a Nutri Bullet blender, Keurig Mini coffee machine (with your first round of K-cups, sugars, and creamers are complimentary). If you plan on cooking any extravagant meals, let us know in advance and we'll be happy to lend you any of our cooking gadgets or extra serving dishes upon request from our house should need more.
The spacious bedroom has a King size grey tufted bed, ultra comfy 12 inch memory foam mattress, and custom-made nightstands made from actual JACK DANIEL'S Bourbon barrels (one of our favorite touches, to be honest ;) Also, you'll have nice sized closet with black velvet hangers, ironing board, iron, laundry hamper, and two luggage racks. There's more! A 43 inch 4K TV also with Cable TV and streaming apps. The cabinet under the TV has three empty drawers for your use and also stores extra pillows and clean sheets for the sleeper sofa. You'll also love our retro-feel, high velocity Vornado floor fan if you like to sleep with a fan on or prefer to feel a "beachy breeze" in the room.
The bathroom is also rather spacious with a walk-in glass shower, a floating vanity with plenty of space for your toiletries, and a soaking 55 inch bathtub with a little table for your book or glass of wine...because you deserve to do that!
Also in the apartment is a full size washer and dryer set for your use!
Outdoor space: Firepit for guest use. Plenty of wood provided!
We want to be transparent that we live above the basement apartment with a toddler. During the renovation, we invested to have the best sound barrier insulation between us and our guests, although you will hear some footsteps from time to time (like that of an apartment or hotel). It's still private and quiet considering its a basement apartment. We do share the backyard and fire-pit area (although we won't be hanging out in your patio space!) so you may see us playing with our kiddos further down in the backyard on the swing. We love meeting our guests so feel free to come out and say hi, but we also respect your privacy if you're not in the mood!
If you're visiting friends or family living in Nashville, we're totally ok with you inviting a few guests over - it's SUCH a great space to hang and make memories. We just ask that you let us know ahead of time if you're planning on having anyone over and it cannot exceed the 6 person occupancy.
EARLY CHECK-INS OR LATE CHECK-OUTS:
Early check-in or late check-outs must be PRE-ARRANGED. Please do not ask on the day before, or the day of arrival as we will NOT honor it. We have our cleaners scheduled at specific times and are unable to make last minute changes. Any non pre-arranged late check-outs will result in withholding of deposit.
The only way we can guarantee an early check-in is if the night prior to your stay is available, we can block it off for you at half the price. Same goes for late check-out, if there is no one booked the night of your check out date, we can block off the night for you for a guaranteed late check-out at half the price.
LUGGAGE DROP OFF:
While we would love to be able to accommodate luggage drop off requests, there simply isn’t a ‘'holding area” in our home that wouldn’t interfere with our cleaners ability to move freely during their clean. We recommend you contact Stow Station.
CANCELLATIONS:
100% Refund if cancelled within 48 hours of booking if check-in is at least 14 days away.
50% Refund if cancelled at least 7 days before check-in.
No refund if cancelled within 7 days of check-in.
RESERVATION CHANGE FEE (less than 30 days out):
-NO reservation changes are allowed within 10 days or less from the original check-in date.
-Any reservation changes made 30 days or less from their check-in day will incur the $100 change fee (and still not allowed within 10 days from check-in date).
-All reservation changes are final, will not be eligible for refund, cannot be changed twice and must be used within the next 365 days
-When a guest is not eligible for a refund, we can refund them the difference in price if their canceled dates get rebooked.
The total price of the reservation is based on the nightly rate set by the host, plus fees or costs determined by the host or booking platform. Extra guest fee charged by some hosts for extra guests beyond a set number, which may fluctuate.
FAQs
🧍🏽♂️ Additional Guests We kindly ask that your guest count stays within what was confirmed at booking. If your plans change and you'd like to bring a few extra faces, just reach out before your stay — we're happy to see what we can do!
🎥 Exterior Cameras For everyone's peace of mind, we have exterior cameras on the property for safety purposes.
🎈 Decorations We love that you might be celebrating something special! Just a couple of things to keep in mind — please avoid glitter and confetti (they're a cleaning crew's worst nightmare 😄), and steer clear of placing anything on the wallpaper. We just ask that all decorations are removed before you check out. Have fun with it!
🎉 Gatherings & Visitors Our cottages are designed as a peaceful retreat, so we ask that the property not be used as a hub for outside visitors or rotating guests. We want everyone — including our neighbors — to enjoy the space!
🤫 Quiet Hours We have wonderful neighbors, and we'd love to keep it that way! Please help us by keeping outdoor noise to a considerate level during quiet hours. Thank you!
🚭 Smoke-Free Property To keep our space fresh and comfortable for every guest, we ask that there be no smoking inside or within 25 feet of the property. If you smoke outdoors, please keep windows and doors closed. Please note that a $500 fee applies if smoke is detected indoors.
🛠️ Accidents Happen! We truly mean it — we get it! If something breaks or gets damaged during your stay, please just let us know. We appreciate your honesty and it always makes a big difference. No need to stress — just a quick message is all it takes!
🧼 Leaving the Space Our cleaning team works incredibly hard, and we're so grateful for them! The standard cleaning fee covers a normal turnover, so we ask that you leave the space in a reasonably tidy condition out of respect for their time and effort. Our check-out instructions (found in this welcome book) make it easy — just follow those and you're all set. We appreciate you helping us keep things country-cool, classy, and cozy! 🌿
⏰ Early Check-In & Late Check-Out Want to arrive a little earlier or linger a little longer? Early check-in (from 8:00 a.m.) and late check-out (until 5:00 p.m.) may be available — just send us a message ahead of time to check availability for your dates. A small fee applies for approved requests, and availability is limited, so the sooner you ask, the better!
🧳 Luggage Drops Unfortunately, we aren't able to accommodate luggage drops outside of your check-in window. We recommend Luggage Hero, Stow Station, or other luggage storage options nearby — they're super convenient and easy to use!
