About this property
Fancy Free Nashville - Stay Where Country Music History Was Made
AS SEEN ON CBS’ STAYCATION! Nashville - Want a true Nashville experience? Stay at our amazing little piece of country music history nestled on a quiet street in the middle of it all. 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, game room, outstanding back deck with fireplace, wet bar, hot tub, outdoor commercial heaters & a 16' disappearing glass door that opens the entire back of the house up to a back yard oasis with fire pit & bocce court. Minutes from downtown Nashville & less than a mile from Bluebird Cafe.
Welcome to Fancy Free - an Entertainer's Dream
When I first stepped foot on this property it was 1982 and I was just a little girl. My uncle was a successful songwriter and manager of The Oak Ridge Boys publishing company. He and his wife took the royalties from his #1 hit Fancy Free by The Oak Ridge Boys and bought the little 1930’s bungalow that was originally on this property and turned it into my favorite place on earth.
Fast forward to 2018 and my husband and I bought the property and built our very own dream home and it is still my favorite place on earth!
This place is filled with country music memories from all of the stars and extremely talented writers that stayed a many a night right here. Walk through the house and you will see gold and platinum albums that tell a little bit of the history.
If you are looking for an amazing Nashville experience, this is the place for you. We are located right in the middle of everything but with the beautiful wooded lot you feel far away from it all. Only one mile from the world-famous Bluebird Cafe and a couple of miles to Broadway, this is the perfect vacation spot.
We are also two doors down from a great public park with tennis courts, a covered pavilion, basketball court, small baseball diamond and walking trail.
Go a couple of blocks over and spend some time hanging out at Elmington Park where you will find the most amazing food trucks on the weekends!
About 1.5 miles and you are at Centennial Park where you can tour the world’s only replica of The Parthenon and feed the ducks.

What makes this property unique
"Vintage Nashville" Bedroom
This bedroom comes with an extremely comfy queen size bed, a desk, Roku tv, it's own coffee station and a vintage 1964 RCA Victor vinyl record console player. Spin your favorite vinyl and enjoy the crackling sound that only a vintage record player can provide! We have even included a couple of records that include songs written on this very little piece of land!
This bedroom shares a full bath with Hillbilly Highway.
“Hillbilly Highway” Bedroom
The Steve Earl hit Hillbilly Highway was co-written by my uncle, the original owner of this property, and was an homage to his road from Newton, MS to Nashville when he was only 14 years old.
They began writing the song at William Lee Golden's beach house on ONO Island on the trip that secured Steve Earl's record deal with Tony Brown and MCA Records. After coming back to Nashville they finished writing Hillbilly Highway right here on the back porch and it became part of the award-winning Guitar Town album.
At the 1986 ASCAP Country Music Awards, Steve Earle was the new hot artist with a Grammy Nomination for Guitar Town. Following the awards, he spent the night right here in this very spot :)
This bedroom has a comfy queen size bed, tv, writing desk (in case inspiration strikes) and a Wii game console. This bedroom shares a full bathroom with Vintage Nashville.
“Reba’s Room” Upstairs Master
This bedroom has a full size bed, Roku tv, large walk-in closet and its own full bathroom.
Named for the Reba McEntire hit Red Roses that was written from this very place. Red Roses was on the Have I Got A Deal For You album that went Gold. I remember listening to the demo tape from the living room couch and thinking how clever those lyrics were. It was co-written with David Lee Murphy about 10 years before Party Crowd which they also co-wrote.
