This is a cottage located off an alley about 3 blocks from Vanderbilt Hospital. I had intended to walk there, but the triple-digit heat made that impossible. Every room contains thoughtful touches. The two wall A/C units (living room, bedroom) held their own for the first 3 days, but on my last night the bedroom unit wasn’t working as well and the room got warmer than I like. That is about the only thing I found wrong. Prospective guests should note that the stairs leading up to the unit are VERY uneven (each one a different rise up), a challenge for me at my age.

The property is perfect to visit Belmont, We walked to campus. The space is cute, clean, and well maintained. The only issue we had was that we were promised a parking space and other people parked in the asiigned spot. You cannot park on the streets overnight so we were stuck with no parking. The cottage is not on a street - it is behind another building in an alley so we did not know what to do. If you have no car and want to be close to Belmont it will work great!

We enjoyed our stay. There were partially dried towels in the laundry, so we washed them again with the ones we used. Loved the closeness of restaurants . The steps were to the house were a little dangerous, but we managed. Will stay again.

This was a quaint one bedroom cottage in a nice neighborhood near Vanderbilt University. It was a ten minute drive to downtown Nashville and 20 minute drive to the Grand Ole Oprey. We had a few problems with getting the internet up and running but the owner was very responsive and we had our problem resolved quickly. In keeping with the quaint cottage look there are stone steps and sidewalk. Some of the stones and mortar were loose on the outside steps and walk leading up to the front door. We managed fine but it would not be appropriate for someone with a walking disability. We would definitely recommend this cottage.

My husband and I stayed here for a wedding we were attending. The location was great if you have an event at Belmont or Vanderbilt and was also fairly close to downtown Nashville. We also appreciated that it was a stand alone building with its own parking spots. The Cottage was clean and accurately described on the website. The AC/heat is a window unit in the bedroom and was quite loud when on. I would be mindful of that for all who are sensitive sleepers.

Perfect for our needs. Great location. Lots of restaurants within walking distance and easy for Ubers. Pancake Pantry is a few steps away and lived up to the hype. The furniture is a bit tired but beds were very comfortable. As other renters have pointed out, the bedroom window air conditioner rattles but you do need to keep it on to muffle outside noise from the alley right behind. The outside stairs and pathway are poorly lit at night—especially when it rains, which it did a lot while we were in Nashville—and steps can be treacherous. I don’t have mobility issues but almost fell a few times so could be hazardous for older folk and small children.

We stayed here for a short vacation. Really enjoyed it! Location was great. Almost anything you would want to visit is going to be a short car ride away. Super quiet for being down town. As other reviews stated elderly/children may need to be extra careful on the stairs. Only small issue is the water pressure in the shower isn’t great although I’m not sure there is anything that can be done about that. Host instructions for parking and entering were clear. We would definitely book again!

Perfect place for our family to stay while visiting our oldest kid at Vanderbilt. This is closer to the freshman dorms than any hotel, includes a parking space, and had plenty of space for us and our two younger kids.The house is spacious, clean, comfortable, quiet, has no stinky air "fresheners" (all too common in rental homes these days), and had nice touches like extension cords for easy bedside phone charging and granola bars and oatmeal for breakfast. The host's checkin/checkout instructions were very nice and clear.Things to know:* The parking space isn't huge. No problem for our mid-sized rental car but if you show up with a giant truck it might be a tough squeeze (especially when the neighbor's giant pickup is parked in the next space).* The windows don't have screens. We used the AC anyway but if you must have the windows open, it might be an issue. * The windows don't have blackout shades. The wooden blinds were good enough for us, but if you require a pitch black room for sleeping, this might not be your first choice.* The host requests that you run the dishwasher, a load of towel laundry, and take out the trash. All reasonable requests, but a reminder that this isn't a full-service hotel. We'd DEFINITELY come back.

Stayed in midtown for a marathon, and we had everything we needed within a short distance. Everything was well-stocked and comfortable at the flat, only thing would be cleanliness of the floors. (We were looking for something dropped and noticed a lot of debris under the couch, just that it hadn’t been cleaned underneath in awhile.) But overall the place served us well and we left feeling rested!

The place was clean and well-stocked with everything we neede. The parking spot was so convenient! Thanks for a great stay.

Our stay at this wonderful cottage was exceptional! It's very clean, well taken care of and so cozy. Beds are very comfortable. Every amenity you could need is provided and then some! The area is quiet and felt very safe! Eating establishments and shops are with a 2-block walk. Pizza Perfect has a delicious pizza! Hop on Hop Off Trolley stop #4 is .8-mile walk. This cottage felt like home and we would stay here again if we're going to Nashville. The Owners are great communicators and are so thoughtful. We'd highly recommend staying here!

Husband and I came to Nashville for first time. This was a nice, quiet location but close enough to downtown and Broadway area. Older building so the floors are a little wonky, but the place was clean and comfortable. We did not cook much but there was basic equipment available. There is a washer/dryer in the unit with detergent pods which was helpful. Don't wash clothes when you want to wash tv because it is loud. Easy to get in and out of place with doorpad. Thanks for the lovely stay.

This was the perfect spot for my quick two-day trip to Nashville. Located not far from Vanderbilt, one would expect it to be in a somewhat noisy area; instead, I found it to be incredibly quiet and perfect for reading and doing work at the end of each day. The owners provide everything you might need to get started: fresh linens; laundry and dish detergent; basic toiletries; coffee; oatmeal and snack bars; coffee pot and tea kettle; cookware; silverware; and a basic set of spices. The furniture was extremely comfortable, and between the ceiling fans and air conditioner in the bedroom I had the perfect prompts for sound sleep. One of my favorite finds was the cottage guide; unlike many places where you'll find information in a notebook, the owners created an actual book that was published with all the information you'll need (seems small, but to me it was a huge personal touch). Outstanding communication and a warm welcome from the owners also contributed to a great visit. I hope to be back in Nashville soon, and I'll definitely be returning to this cottage!

My husband rented this cottage for my Mom, sister, and I to have a girl’s weekend away. The cottage was cozy, clean, and had all the comforts of home, plus some extras. We really appreciated the welcome book. It was full of good information and restaurant recommendations. The apartment is in close vicinity to lots of attractions. Communication with the host was always very prompt and professional. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

This was a quaint one bedroom cottage in a nice neighborhood near Vanderbilt University. It was a ten minute drive to downtown Nashville and 20 minute drive to the Grand Ole Oprey. We had a few problems with getting the internet up and running but the owner was very responsive and we had our problem resolved quickly. In keeping with the quaint cottage look there are stone steps and sidewalk. Some of the stones and mortar were loose on the outside steps and walk leading up to the front door. We managed fine but it would not be appropriate for someone with a walking disability. We would definitely recommend this cottage.

We had a great time at this cottage!! It was comfortable and clean. Communication was excellent. We had one small issue at no fault of the owners but they were on top of getting it fixed for us even with an early morning phone call. A perfect place to unwind and rest after a busy day exploring!! Thank you!

Cute cottage, super clean in a quiet, yet accessible part of the city. Extremely humid weather crept into the cottage making it uncomfortable, but our hosts immediately provided a dehumidifier which made a huge difference. Incredibly responsive.

Extremely well located to visit Vanderbilt and Belmont (the Vandy tour ends about 4 minutes away). Communication was particularly excellent.

The cottage was perfect for our stay in Nashville. Susan and Ron were extremely helpful and understanding every time we reached out to them. The cottage was stocked with everything we could’ve possibly needed. We had a wonderful stay!

The property is perfect to visit Belmont, We walked to campus. The space is cute, clean, and well maintained. The only issue we had was that we were promised a parking space and other people parked in the asiigned spot. You cannot park on the streets overnight so we were stuck with no parking. The cottage is not on a street - it is behind another building in an alley so we did not know what to do. If you have no car and want to be close to Belmont it will work great!

We loved it here! We were in Nashville for my son to tour Vanderbilt and Belmont, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect location. Most of the time we left the car parked and were able to walk anywhere we wanted to go. The cottage was a great comfortable place for us to return to at the end of the day!

Perfect place to stay for our stay in Nashville. We have a freshman at Vanderbilt and we could walk to his dorm in under 5 minutes. Super close to Hillsboro Village for dining and shopping. We would definitely stay there again!

The Cottage was a perfect place to stay. Easily walkable to coffee, restaurants, and shopping and a short Uber ride to downtown. Highly recommend. I also felt very safe in the area.

I loved this little cottage! It was the perfect size, and had everything I needed. Check in and out was very easy and host had a lovely book with all the instructions plus local things to do. I walked everywhere, it was so convenient, even to downtown! It is a quiet area and I felt safe. I hated to leave, I really enjoyed my stay here!

The cottage is amazing. We hope to return one day to Nashville, and when we do we are hoping we can stay here again.The place was spotless.The beds were comfy.Great water pressure in the shower.Communication with the hosts was never an issue; they offered their own list of favorite places to check out locally.While we were warned that locals had been a pain recently in taking the parking spot allocated for the cottage, we used the cone and had zero issues.The only thing I would mention that I do not recall seeing in the listing, is that the steps into the cottage are a bit tricky: they are tall, and a bit uneven in spots, but we were never in a condition that made me concerned for our well-being while entering or leaving.Our only “gripe” was that the cottage was so homey, welcoming and relaxing that at times we had to force ourselves out into Nashville to do the “tourist” things; we were just so comfortable inside, that relaxing in the cottage was far too easy of an option.We cannot recommend this place enough!

Property was clean and suitable for our quick stay. It was with walking distance to shop and food. And we were able to walk to Midtown. We used the Hop in Hop off trolley which was beneficial to get around and explore. CMA fest was this weekend which was an experience we weren't expecting but fun.

Very clean and cute cottage! Communication was good and the place looked just like the pictures online. I appreciated the bottles of water in the fridge and granola bars on the table. Just a heads up that the air conditioning is window units, not central a/c. The temperature was fine - no problems there - I just prefer central air.
