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!

Spring break in Memphis

We had a nice stay at Chris and Debbie's place. The location was ideal being walking distance to many attractions and food and the place was just as described. It was clean, comfortable and we had everything we needed. We would stay here again on a return visit and highly recommend!

Great location & place

Being a Memphis native, I was drawn to the location, which was even better than I remembered. Only steps away from great entertainment in midtown! The house itself is also cute & comfy with all the amenities we needed. Would stay here again!

Great Memphis charm

I was born & raised in Memphis but moved away a decade ago. So in planning my first visit back I wanted a place in the heart of things and knew right where to look, and I found this place within a mile of where I used to live. This place fit the bill perfectly. The hosts were very responsive and worked with me on several questions and it made my stay here exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend!

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.

Perfect

Most responsive host ever in my experience of worldwide travel. Immediate & helpful replies to questions or concerns (which were few). Clean, quiet, comfortable home in a safe residential neighborhood within walking distance to cafes, bars, restaurants, & most importantly, the venue for the Indie Memphis Film Festival. Chris & Debbie provided every imaginable amenity - including GOOD coffee! Will definitely stay again if available next year for the Festival😊

Daughter’s Birthday Trip

We came to Memphis for my daughter’s birthday. She wanted to see Graceland. I looked for a property with good reviews and in a good neighborhood. I found this property and decided to give it a try. This house was perfect for our stay. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 starts was because the house needs a little remodeling done due to some structural imperfections. I would recommend staying here and would stay here again if we ever go back to Memphis.

This was the perfect location. Very clean and spacious. We were visiting from out of town for the holiday.

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. ;-)

Enjoying the Blues

This house is so perfect for a stay in Memphis due to its location, size and amenities. The host is also so helpful and available to suggest activities and to answer any questions. The website the host has created is also amazing. You can’t go wrong in staying at this property.

Nice stay

Very cool older house close to Overton Square. Everything was as described, and just as a well supplied and well appointed house. We enjoyed our stay. Downsides were the street noise from the 1st bedroom and the lack of door for the 2nd bedroom.

About the host

Hosted by Chris McHaney

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!
