About this property

Urban Airstream Retreat

Meet our charming 1971 Airstream named Cecilia. Retro with touches of modern decor will transport you to your happy place in no time. Leave worries behind & simply enjoy your favorite person’s company with the adorable kitchenette, tiny yet beautiful bathroom, comfy beds & more. When the sun goes down, campfires are made easy with all the supplies provided + s’mores. Get ready for a nostalgic glamping experience close to fun shops, tasty restaurants & Memphis history.

We hope you thoroughly enjoy our wonderfully diverse & transitional neighborhood of Binghampton. We've lived & raised our family here for 18 years and it’s our favorite part of Memphis, a beautiful example of poverty and affluence living side by side. You might meet some of our International Community, see urban gardens, colorful artwork, and eccentric neighbors. We're a short drive (or a long walk) from one of the best zoos in the nation, Overton Park (with walking/running trails, dog park, playgrounds & more).

Broad Ave arts district is a 2 minute drive and worth checking out. City & State is great for coffee and gifts, Wiseacre for craft beers, Sugar Ghost for ice cream & boba tea, Broadway Pizza, & Liquor Store for a meal out and lots more.

We’re old school Airbnb hosts who live next door and can assist if you need anything. This 29’ 1971 Airstream Ambassador includes all of the amenities you might expect with a small studio apartment or tiny home. The futon folds out into an almost full-size bed with memory foam topper & there are two single beds made up and ready to sleep in. The petite bathroom is perfect for us (5’11” & 4’11”) but may be less comfortable for others. The kitchenette includes a 4-burner propane stovetop, original gas oven, microwave, fridge & freezer, coffee maker, and small waffle maker in the closet.

And be sure to snap a complimentary Polaroid as a keepsake for the memories made in Memphis.

You’ll be nice & toasty in the winter and cool in the summer with a space heater, rooftop AC, and portable fan.

You have the entire airstream to yourself and share the spacious backyard with guests in a house on site (rent all together for up to 9 guests here: airbnbcom/h/bohoblue).

Four guests maximum in the airstream. No extra overnight guests are permitted and please note that smoking is not allowed inside but welcome outside. Although we love pets, we believe that an Airstream is not a pet friendly environment; therefore, no pets are allowed please.

This Airstream is in the backyard of a house with two airbnbs rented out separately or all together. There may be other guests on site during your stay but your place is only accessible to you.

Your stay provides a living wage for a refugee family who lives in the neighborhood and provides the housecleaning. Also, we donate a percentage of the profit from your stay to nonprofits that connect people in need with temporary housing. Thank you for staying with us!

We can usually provide an earlier check-in or later checkout with a $25 fee for the extra coordination with housekeeping that is required. Just message us and we’ll let you know if possible.

There will be a $15 pet fee per stay for extra cleanup often required. This is in addition to the regular rate and will go through Airbnb. There is an additional $15 fee for over to pets that can be paid through the app.

You may hear city sounds like overhead planes, distant trains, etc. but this hasn’t bothered the large majority of our guests. We do provide a white noise machine as well as ear plugs for light sleepers. NOTE: the neighborhood rooster mentioned in past reviews has moved away :-)

While our cancellation policy is set as firm, reach out to us if plans change. We usually are able to provide a full refund if someone else books our place after you cancel.

The following does NOT apply to reservations made on Airbnb (who has their own vetting & resolution process). For all other booking platforms, guests are required to complete our pre-arrival process including a photo of a valid ID, signing our rental conditions, and submitting a valid credit or debit card to be pre-approved for a security deposit (card will not be charged just authorized in case of damage or rule violation). This process needs to be completed before check-in.

Airstream oasis

Everything about this property was as described in the listing and exceeded all of our expectations. The guests were incredibly responsive from the moment of booking all the way through to check out. Will absolutely recommend this place to friends and will return for a stay when we're in the area again!

Great host and a great experience

After stressful day and a long rainy drive from Nashville, settling into our airstream rental felt like coming home. With the little Christmas tree, fireplace space heater, and knowing that anything we needed was just a text message away, we felt very at ease and welcome during our stay.

A blast from the past. A cozy one.

Nothing more nostalgic than an air stream right? Walked in and you can tell that this unit has been well maintained and deserved some love. With that being said, it’s in the perfect area. Not too far from the forum, but just outside enough to enjoy that historic district. The owner was very transparent and helpful if I had any questions. It was clean, well maintained and cozy. Perfect for a couples getaway for a short weekend.I will definitely be coming back!

Terrible!

Our trip was terrible. The property was uninhabitable. When we arrived there was a miserable smell. We could not stay and ask the host for a refund. The host offered to send the housekeeper back and we told them that would not fix the problem. The host later explained the smell was a propane leak. They said they shut off the gas and told us to come back and refused to refund our money. We could not stay there and they refused to refund our money.
