You can take advantage of the grounds and porches and feel like you are miles away from everything. Yet, it's a short ride to downtown Nashville and the Grand Ole Opry is just around the corner. We've set up the kitchen so that you can make anything from a quick breakfast to a gourmet meal. Kitchens are kind of important to our family!

We are very excited for you to stay here and hope that you enjoy your time in Music City. Please feel free to let us know if you need anything or if you have any concerns. We will assist you in any way that we can. If you would like to ask anything about Music City, we will be glad to offer our ideas about this great town. It is also set up so that if you don't ever want to see us, you probably won't. We will be sending you our guide with restaurants, things to do and places to see during your stay so you can do it like a local. Also, look at our Electronic Guest Book for an offer for free credits for rides from Lyft Rideshare. Uber and Lift are very convenient and quickly accessible.

This area of Nashville has plenty to offer with the biggest Mall in Tennessee and lots of restaurants and things to do. It can also be a quiet relaxing time if that is what you like. Quiet hours are between 10:00 pm and 8:00 am. Please respect the quiet neighborhood and neighbors. Nashville has the highest Hotel rates in the nation. We are less than half as much and you get so much more with the Rustic Retreat! We would love to host you! Book today as things fill up quickly.

Nashville adventure.

This is a great place to stay in Nashville. Our party included 3 couples and we spent three nights exploring the city and this was a great central location. Walking in we all felt welcomed and this rustic retreat supplied us with everything we needed. Our favorite place to hang out was the screened in porch in the morning to enjoy our coffee and at the end of the night to recap all the fun activities we did throughout the day. We all would definitely stay again, it felt like home.

Very comfortable and convenient

We loved our stay at the Rustic Retreat. It was extremely clean and comfortable. We were in town for a wedding at the Gaylord Opryland and a reception at Gaylord Springs Golf Club. This home was very convenient to both locations as well as to downtown Nashville. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Nashville. Thanks Doug and Darolyn!

Country Vibe close to city

Cozy and clean. Nice table in the kitchen to enjoy meals. Keurig coffee maker and everything you need to cook and eat, just bring your food. Fireplace is lovely, we didn't use the TV. Furniture is comfortable. Beds are comfortable, trundle bed is a little squeaky. Linens are clean and lots of towels in the bathrooms. House is dark, but has lots of lights. Very cute pull chains on ceiling fans (light bulbs for light and fans for fan). Enough plug ins to charge your items. The WiFi was good. Great location, only minutes from Gaylords and Opry. 15 minutes to Broadway. Birds chirping in the morning, deer running around in the evening, a nice firepit to enjoy evenings outside with chairs and picnic table. We enjoyed our stay here and would stay again. The back door lock is a little difficult to work.

July Vacation

Overall this was a great place. The hosts were very quick to respond to any messages and accommodated us with a cooler to pack lunches for our day trips which was greatly appreciated. There was plenty of space for us to spread out, the beds were comfy, the kitchen & bathroom surfaces were clean. It was very quiet & peaceful and while it was incredibly hot outside it was nicely cooled inside. We called for a Uber/Lyft on the 4th of July to take us to Broadway for the festivities. That was very reasonable - around $15 each way. Highly recommend - it’s much cheaper than paying for parking. The only reason I did not give 5 stars on cleanliness was due to the many cobwebs hanging from the wooden beams & dust buildup on lights & stove vent screen. While some may feel this adds to the “rustic charm” for others it triggers major allergy attacks. Overall we would book this home again.

Lovely cabin close to so much!

We really enjoyed our stay. The rustic retreat was close to so many of the activities we wanted to do but it was also a great place to rest afterward. We were all comfortable in our beds and slept well. We would stay again if (when!) we visit Nashville again!

Easy location

Great location with easy access. Spent 5 days/four nights at the retreat. Easy Uber/lyft ride to opry (less than $10/each way) and broadway/gulch ($25-30/ each way). The Retreat’s bedrooms were large with enough room to spread out. The kitchen had all the necessary utensils for a good breakfast. We enjoyed the front porch, drinking coffee and watching the deer and turkey. It’s a property I would recommend.

We stayed from April 22-26. The house was charming. Even tho it was surface clean ( bathrooms, beds, kitchen, table tops) the house needs a serious deep clean. Corners, silk flower arrangements , kitchen cabinet decor, lamp shades are past dusty and moving on to dirty!

About the host

Hosted by Doug and Darolyn Praskach

Host profile image
Greetings! We are Doug and Darolyn and we are longtime residents of Music City, which we love as one of the most exciting cities in the world.

Doug is a former Professional Chef and will be happy to share a quick and easy recipe to whip up in our well-appointed kitchen. Darolyn loves to be the perfect hostess and her green thumb constantly tends our walk through gardens on the grounds. We both love meeting some amazing people through AirBnB and sharing our passion for Nashville!

Davis is another part of the family who will do everything necessary to make your trip fantastic!

Whether you’re going to stay a night or a week in Nashville we want to make your stay memorable. With our Luxury Log House Rustic Retreat near everything, we can help you get to just about all the “must see” sights and sounds of Music City. We are more than happy to make restaurant recommendations and guide you towards transit options, and some of the hidden secrets of our city. That's what makes this experience different than a night at the Holiday Inn.

Why they chose this property

We are less than two miles from the Grand Ole Opry, Opryland Hotel, and Opry Mills, one of the top shopping malls in Tennessee. We are 11 minutes from Nashville Airport and 15 minutes from downtown with it's Honky-Tonks and fun. We are only 1 mile from the Nashville Greenway and it’s 190 miles of biking and walking trails. There is a Wave Pool, and Two Rivers Park with Disc Golf and a Skate Park within 2 miles. And oh yeah, there are more restaurants nearby than you can eat at in several visits.

Whether you want to relax or kick up your heels, we just want you to have an amazing experience and can’t wait to meet you!

What makes this property unique

There is no experience like staying in this log house. You feel like you went back in time but with all of the modern amenities. There is a magical tin roof that seems to make music when it rains. The warm wooden walls are simply amazing and sitting on the porches and relaxing make the entire trip more enjoyable and very memorable.
