I got to be a mom again

My mother and I had a great time visiting my son for his 23rd birthday! He stays in a small apartment so we decided to stay here so we had room to just hang out. The house was comfortable and had everything we possibly could need. It was quiet and close to all kinds of stores and restaurants. It was wonderful just to hang out with my boy, celebrate his birthday and cook him a birthday breakfast. We will stay again if we are coming to the area.

Comfortable

Comfortable home with a few nice touches (coffee/tea station). Outside could use some TLC. Dirty or broken outdoor furniture and just not the same vibe as inside. Certainly does not ruin the stay, but a little disappointing. A little surprised and initially concerned by the bars on the windows as we arrived at night, but did not encounter any problems. Quiet neighborhood.

Great house and location. Just note that this is the bottom floor of a split house.

Loved this location and house. Very clean and neat interior. About 5 minute drive to everything, 40 minutes to downtown Nashville. Our only complaint was that we had no idea that the house was a duplex. The top floor is rented out separately, and this rental is the whole bottom floor. We were on a trip as someone’s last weekend before moving out of the country, and had no idea we would have to be quiet at 9pm due to sharing the house. Just beware when booking, that quiet hours begin at 9pm every day, and you will most likely have upstairs neighbors during your stay.

Blue Door Cottage

We had an enjoyable stay at the Blue Door Cottage. I was visiting my daughter for three days just before she moved from Nashville to California. It was a perfect mother-daughter weekend! There were many lovely touches, like two big comfy couches, couch throws, toiletries, and cookies. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The hosts were gracious, had excellent communication, and allowed an early check in as my flight arrived in the early morning. There were a couple of very minor issues, but I will address them privately with the hosts. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

About the host

Hosted by Marida + Thomas Balch

Host profile image
We are a true Southern family and pride ourselves on welcoming everyone and never meeting a stranger! We love to take our boys on adventures, sometimes with a just few hours notice. Because of that, we really appreciate when we find great accommodations whether with friends or at a warm, cozy VRBO, which is why we want to make sure ours is just that!

Aside from traveling, we love music and have fun taking our boys (ALL 4!) to festivals in the warmer weather (which is sometimes January around here)! When we travel, we are always on the lookout for good food and local hangouts so, rest assured, you won't get the "tourist trap" recommendations from us. ;)

We like to live life to the fullest...making each moment count!
