Debbie and I live close by in Cooper-Young should you need us for anything via message or phone call. We love talking all things Memphis, but totally respect your privacy as well. You are welcome to self check in with our Igloo Home lock box.

Residential homes meet a mix of restaurants, theaters, shopping, and night life is how I would describe the Overton Square area. Typical midtown homes built around the 1920's surround Memphis's entertainment district including Playhouse on the Square, Hattiloo Theater, Circuit Playhouse, and Theater Works, not to mention a Malco Cinema (Studio on the Square) there is no shortage of fun to be had! In addition, Overton Square is bordered to the north by Overton Park, one of Memphis' true gems.

We are about a 10 minute ride to downtown. Typical fares for Uber or Lyft to downtown are about $10.

If you've read this far down, thanks! Come stay with us Y'all! We'd love to have you!

Nice spot for a few days
This is an older home in a nice area. I had a little issue with the key box, but the host called me immediately and opened the key box remotely. Overton Square is walkable, so we were able to walk down the road for food and drinks.

Great stay in Memphis!
We loved the location so close to Overton Park. Owner responded promptly to our questions and provided a great online guide for the Memphis area and for staying at the home. Updated, nicely decorated, and comfortable home with everything that we needed for our stay.

Tons of Character!
Very clean home, my wife and 3 boys stayed here recently and it fit everything we needed! Only thing that wasn't PERFECT was the front room with pullout was very bright for my 6 year old to get sleep, mixed with a couple loud cars on the street driving by.(porch light doesn't turn off and location trade off is that home is so close to great nightlife, but traffic is traffic lol) Host offered to try to help us figure something out with porch light but we just decided to make it work. We'd stay again as it was very affordable and worked well for us. Shower was nice and Small kitchen and gas range was wonderful :)

Top lodging in Memphis
To be brief, the reviews below do not lie. On the contrary, Chris and Debbie's vacation home is simply beautiful, well located, very spacious and super well equipped. Fantastic base to explore Memphis and the surrounding area.... and to recover on the porch afterwards. So, without any doubt, 5 stars from the Belgians also. ;-)

Great little getaway in the heart of it all!
This little home was great for our purpose. We just wanted a little getaway that was in town, and this fit perfect! It is close enough that we could have walked to many places if we so chose. Amazingly, even though it was in the middle of everything, it was also very quiet. We rarely heard any traffic at all. It is listed as a 3 bedroom, and it is, with some caveats. One of the bedrooms is in the absolute back of the house and only has a curtain, not a door. Another bedroom is the very first room you walk into, so you have to walk through this bedroom to get in or out of the home. For most renters this wouldn't be an issue, but if you have teenagers, well, it would be easy for them to get in or out without being noticed. Just give them a different bedroom. The beds were very soft and luxurious. The couch was great for lounging around while watching tv. And the kitchen was very cute! Love the remodel!! My husband even took pictures of the bathroom, so I think I may be getting an upgrade at home soon! The digital guidebook helped us find new restaurants to try and suggested some great sightseeing. We did have a little trouble when we first arrived, but it turned out to be VRBO issues, not the owners, and Chris was great at getting it all solved and handled in a timely manner. Overall I would highly recommend both Chris and this house!

Great Stay
This was the perfect location. Very clean and spacious. We were visiting from out of town for the holiday. I was able to cook a huge Thanksgiving dinner for my family at ease with practically everything that I needed. Great location and plenty of room for my Husband and I, our Sin and his family, my grandbabies 2 and 4.

Clean, Easy and Relaxing
I stayed here with my partner and we loved it! Chris, the owner was easy and quick to reply to any questions and check-in was very easy. The property’s location is in a stellar location as I was in Memphis working in the theatre district which was a 7-minute walk away. Restaurants, a street fair, and live music were all less than a 10-minute walk away. I basically parked the car and walked almost everywhere. The airport was just a 15 minute drive away and downtown Memphis was about the same. The house is in a duplex and it was quiet, peaceful, beautiful, and most of all clean. There wasn't anything lacking. There are even bikes, umbrellas, and laundry machines to use if needed. I would happily stay here again if I ever find myself in need of a rental in Memphis.

Great stay!
We came to Memphis for a few day stay to see the city. Very convenient home! My family likes to run and the Overton park is a few blocks away so they were able to get their exercise every morning. We brought our own bikes but the unit does have two available. Downtown Memphis is easy to park so the 10 drive is no problem. We ate out but appreciated the kitchen and the coffee maker! Super comfy pillows. Thanks again!

Amazing experience for first time in Memphis
This VRBO was fantastic! The communication from Chris from the start was great and the house itself was perfect for our brief stay! It was so clean and had everything we needed! The decor and quality of everything in the house were superb. My daughter and I felt so safe and comfortable and able to relax. The neighborhood and area is really nice with great restaurants and shops so close at Overton Square. We absolutely loved this place and would recommend it to anyone! Hands down it’s one of the best VRBO’s we’ve stayed at!

Would stay again
This property was exactly as advertised. Good sized primary bedroom and living room. Big television. Great location in terms of being close to attractions. About ten minutes to downtown and fifteen minutes to Graceland. Restaurants and fairly vibrant area within walking distance. We didn't do any cooking, but the kitchen looked well stocked. Driveway parking was very much appreciated. There were even two bikes for use with helmets! The only thing I might suggest if you stay here is to bring earplugs. The house fronts a somewhat busy street (which is pretty quiet at night but gets busy in the morning) and there are sporadicairplanes overhead at night.

About the host

Host profile image
My wife and I are working hard, trying our best to live like no one else now, so that later we can live like no one else, all the while being good stewards of family and planet. We try our best to pass this ideal along to our family.

Why they chose this property

While have traditionally owned long-term rental properties in Memphis, Debbie and I viewed the potential of this property's location and charm to branch out to short term rentals, and utilize our skills of customer service and focus on detail that we have developed over decades in the restaurant and travel industry. We love Memphis, and have enjoyed showing off our city to our guests!
