Perfect Family Getaway

This property and its charm, location, convenience and unique features made for a perfect spot for our little family reunion. We felt close enough to the downtown scene while enjoying te peace and quiet of the 12 South Neighborhood. Walking distance to dinner, breakfast, ice cream, shopping and more!!We will be back - for sure! Jimmy was extremely accommodating and we really felt like we were at home away from home!

Great house in a lovely, walkable neighborhood

Our family had an amazing time in the house. It was perfect! The main floor living space gave us plenty of room to eat and hang out together. The basement was almost like an apartment and it had a nice place to play games and to watch movies. It also gave two of our folks, a great place to work remotely in the bedrooms. We enjoyed being at the house and walking to the shops and restaurants in this neighborhood more than the Broadway scene. The host was really easy to work with.

Amazing Nashville Neighborhood

We had a group of 5 couples that travelled to Nashville for an NFL game. While the location wasn't close to the stadium, it was an amazing neighborhood. When the new stadium is built we would love to stay at Jimmy's home. There was plenty of room for all of us to hang out together and quiet places to hand out in smaller groups. The kitchen was well stocked with misc spices, coffee (pods and grounds) and cleaning supplies. The neighborhood is very safe and within walking distance to a few restaurants and coffee shops. We were able to Uber/Lyft very reasonably to Broadway and DT Nashville. There was also ample street parking. Jimmy's home is perfect for larger groups and would be great for families as well. Thank you so much for hosting us!

5 Star Stay for 5 Lifelong Friends Celebrating 65th Birthdays!

All y'all! If you are visiting Nashville & want a truly comfortable, personally decorated home that is centrally located in the 12 South area... and with hands down The Best Equipped Kitchen of any VRBO we've ever booked, this is your jam! We are 5 livelong friends now scattered (New Orleans, Alabama, Atlanta, Myrtle Beach area, Cape Cod) who decided on Nashville for our collective 65th birthday trip. Host is responsive & oh so easy to communicate with. We had one minor issue & Jimmy arrived within the hour to address/fix (honestly, it was operator error on our part) & he is so engaging that we visited for almost an hour. The home is 5 separate bedrooms spread among 3 floors, 3 baths, one on each floor (no elevator). Cute front porch, nice lower back yard area as well, both great for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The main level living area is comfortable, so much so that our last day we spent the afternoon nestled on the sectional sofa with blankets, popcorn & Hallmark movies! The dining area in the kitchen has a fabulous table meant for long chats & making memories & we spent hours there in the mornings & evenings telling stories, catching up & laughing so much that our sides hurt... probably a Good Thing that table can tell no tales! This property is historic/older, which means quirky, but in the best possible way, lots of interesting renovation details & a truly personal (vs corporate/rental) feel. Highly recommend & we would definitely return.

Kathryn’s birthday

We couldn’t have had a more perfect time. Everywhere you look in the house there is something so interesting. We had room for everyone, short Uber rides to broadway, great bars and restaurants walkable. The young people used scooters to get around town. We had a wonderful fire one night, it was the best vacation ever, thanks Jimmy for your wonderful hospitality!!!

Amazing House in Nashville!

This house has it all. Such a cozy stay for a family, at a very reasonable price. The kitchen is open, and we were able to have a family gathering of 30 people easily. The back yard is very open and perfect for kids to play around. The owner was super responsive, and helpful during our stay. If we come back to Nashville, I know where I will be staying again.

Great Weekend Away

There were nine of us that stayed for a long weekend to celebrate our 50th birthdays. The house worked out perfectly for us and the location was wonderful. Places to go within walking distance and just a short and inexpensive Uber ride into downtown. Jimmy was very quick to respond to any questions and he was extremely friendly. Definitely recommend.

Perfect family stay

My family and I rented this house to do our yearly family vacation. The location was perfect. Easy to get to downtown Nashville, the 12 South district was easy to walk to (and we did to get cronuts most days!). The area was very safe and quiet. The house provided plenty of space for our company (8 adults and 2 teenagers). We spent most nights hanging out in the extended kitchen area playing games and doing puzzles. The kitchen was large enough that we made most of our meals here. The beds were comfortable and clean. The bathrooms were large enough that no one felt crowded. This is the perfect location for a family vacation. The owner was easy to communicate with if needed. We can't thank Jim enough for the wonderful time we had.

Old men hockey tournament get away!

A group of 10 of us stayed for a long weekend to play some hockey for old men. Yes we range from 30-45 and we still love to put our bodies through the wringer. The house was perfect and had everything we could ask for. The shops that were within walking distance were amazing and the neighborhood was very peaceful. We will definitely be booking with this host again if we come back next year!

Wonderful craftsman home in the 12 South section of Nashville

First and foremost, Jimmy was a great host! The house was perfect for our group of 10 ranging in age from 18-78. This home is roomy with a large open kitchen/dining area- great for the meals we shared while there. The basement, which included a pool table, was a welcome space to kick back and relax. This is an older house, so the stairs could be a bit tricky for some. The main level and second floor bathrooms are accessible through bedrooms. This was not an issue for us, but may not be suitable for all. Located in the 12 South neighborhood, we were a quick Uber ride away from downtown (10 mins) and the airport (20 mins). We also strolled down 12 Ave and found a couple of cool bars and restaurants. During our stay, a family member experienced car trouble. When I reached out to Jimmy for a mechanic recommendation, he immediately offered to pick them up. Although it wasn’t necessary, his concern and offer of assistance was so kind! I would happily stay here again 🤗

Wonderful stay for a large group

We arrived in town ahead of schedule and our host was very generous to let us check in early. The house was great for a large group because the bedrooms were spread between all three floors. I like to go to sleep early and wake up early. My friends were able to stay up late and hang out in the basement game room without disturbing me. Because the kitchen has a door that closes, I was able to get up early and enjoy a cup of coffee and make breakfast without disturbing them! Thank you so much to our host for making everything perfect and being very responsive during our stay. We will definitely be back again next year.

Fabulous host, beautiful neighborhood, great location!

The home was as reported-adorable and spacious. Perfect location- $7.00 Lyft to Broadway and airport. 12 South area is so cute with lots of shops and restaurants. Our favorite was Play Date. We contacted Jimmy a couple of times with questions and he responded within 30 minutes. We lost power one morning and he contacted me before 7 am to check on us and ask if we needed anything. He then contacted me two more times giving me updates about the power. Luckily it was only a couple of hours. Best host I've ever had at a rental property. :)

Wonderful Stay in Nashville!

This was our fourth year coming to the Nashville area to meet up with family from other states and it was our best rental yet. Honestly. The house was cleaner than any we've ever rented, it was a great space and a terrific location. The host could not possibly have been nicer or more helpful. Truly a top notch experience. The only thing I would mention is there are stairs to a bedroom up and two bedrooms down. The home is older, so the stairs are steeper than some, just something to be aware of if someone coming has any issues. We would absolutely recommend and we would rent again. Thanks so much for a great experience and stay!
