About this property

12 South Loft - Peaceful, private guesthouse in a perfect location!

Nashville is booming! Our unique, private guesthouse is in one of the most vibrant and walkable neighborhoods. We are one block from Sevier Park and located between the 12 South District and 8th Ave South/Melrose, and only 10 minutes from downtown. The converted, detached loft -- formerly offices for an indie record label -- has been transformed into a sophisticated, well-appointed guesthouse with a full kitchen and every comfort you’ll need for a weekend getaway or a month’s residency.

Beautiful Sevier Park (1 block away) is home to the 12 South Farmer’s Market on Tuesday afternoons from May through October. The 20-acre park has a walking path, bicycles for rent, tennis and basketball courts. The Sevier Park Community Center has excellent work out facilities, yoga and fitness classes (only $3!) and an indoor walking track.

The vibrant 12South District (2-7 blocks away) features wonderful restaurants, coffee shops and local shopping. Dine at Burger Up, Epice, Edley’s BBQ, Urban Grub, Bartaco, 12South Taproom, or Frothy Monkey, and shop at trendy Imogene + Willie, White’s Mercantile (owned by Hank Williams’s granddaughter, Holly), local fav Serendipity, or Reese Witherspoon's store Draper James.

Melrose / 8th Ave. South (2 blocks away) is home to some of the newest hot spots in town: M.L. Rose, Fenwick’s 300, and Sinema, and all the conveniences of a grocery store, drug stores, laundromat, post office, and dry cleaners.

Our stay in Nashville

The loft as they call it was exceptionally clean and with a lot of amenities. It was a central location which made it easy to explore Nashville. It is definitely a 5 star accommodation. Everything was in great working order and we would highly recommend it for a great stay in a great city!

Very clean and complete

This was our second stay at the Loft and i am sure will not be the last. Everything is very clean and the bed is very comfortable. The hosts have the kitchen and bathroom supplies well stocked. We appreciated the bottle of wine too! The location is perfect for us. Minutes to the 12 South strip of shops and restaurants and the drive to downtown is short. All in all a wonderful stay!

Great location

This is the cutest getaway and so close to everything you may need. Took us only about 6 minutes to get to downtown Nashville. Host was amazing at communication. Super clean and everything you may need was made available. Asked for an early check in and there was no problem getting that. Thank you! Next time we're visiting, we are definitely staying here again.

Nashville R and R

We came to Nashville for the Jordan Davis concert. We were not sure about areas to stay but we lucked out in one of the best ones. The 12 south area is in walking distance and has so many cute shops and great restaurants. We personally enjoyed the Frothy Monkey. As far as the actual house it was PERFECT! It is so cute and the owners made it such a welcoming enviroment with all the attention to detail. The bed was comfortable and the loft area is great. I appreciated the full length mirror and drawer space. There was everything we needed and more in the kitchen. They even left beer, wine and snacks! The bathroom was stocked with all the amenities you need including plush towels. The outdoor patio area was nice and had lighting and even bug spray (whuch I used and was thankful for). I would love to stay again and I honestly say I don't have any recommendations to make it better!

Perfect Getaway

The house was exactly as described. Perfect location ... just a short drive to Centennial Park, entertainment and food. We could go do everything we wanted to do and then we were able to come back to a quiet getaway! Great neighborhood and great communication with the owners. Would definitely stay there again.

More spacious than it looks!

This property is much more spacious than the pictures show. Very clean, hosts thought of everything, even a basket of snacks and beverages. Super comfortable bed, fluffy towels, even had Aveda shampoo and conditioner. Plenty of places to sit and curl up and plenty of throw blankets as well. This property sits in back of the hosts home and is very well lit at night. Wonderfully safe neighborhood, as we walked to the 12 south district for dinner each night and saw lots of other people out walking as well. About 13 minutes from downtown, and about the same distance from the Nashville zoo. We saw the Zoo Illumination Chinese lights festival which was Amazing,!! We even went back the next day to see the animals. Communication with Lori was EXCELLENT! What a great mini vacation we had. Would absolutely recommend this property!! Thanks so much Lori!

Fabulous Loft Space

My husband and I really enjoyed this space for our stay in Nashville. There were so many special touches and Lori had absolutely everything we could possibly need with lots of little extras. It’s exactly as it looks in the pictures and very comfy and cozy. We enjoyed being right by the park and within walking distance to 12 South.
