We had a great experience at this VRBO in Murfreesboro. The location was perfect—just a short and pleasant walk to downtown, which made it super convenient to explore the local shops, restaurants, and historic sites. The neighborhood felt safe and welcoming, and the home itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Communication with the Denise was smooth and responsive. We’d definitely stay here again next time we’re in town!

Cute and historic

Overall the property and hosts were amazing. They live on the grounds and although they were working in the yard, they never invaded your personal space while staying there. I have to say that the street noise was a tad much but to be expected with the proximity to downtown. Historic touches throughout the home along with the grounds made for a beautiful backdrop for our trip.

Great Get-Away

Had a great weekend while there for The Indy Race at The Nashville Super Speedway. Close enough to the track, but a refreshing slice of hometown rather than downtown Nashville. Cute little shops and restaurants.

Murfreesboro Delight

Nestled a few steps off historic Main Street, this charming home offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. The single-story residence features a welcoming front porch, well-manicured lawn, and secured parking in a spacious driveway. Inside you’ll find this home squeaky clean, quite spacious with a generous rooms where natural light floods through large windows creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, stone countertops, well stocked amenities, and a large island seating six. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the home provides plenty of room. Outside comfortable seating, a fire pit and hot tub. Located just minutes from shopping, dining, and 40 minutes to Nashville. We couldn’t have been happier staying here.

Amazing property!

This home is amazing! It is truly unique and filled with so many interesting pieces of history. The home is also filled with everything you could need, including plenty of towels, shampoo/conditioner/bath wash in both bathrooms, plenty of toilet paper, and even laundry detergent in the laundry room. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes and cookware and there were even some k-cups and creamer! We travel alot and this was probably the cleanest Vrbo we have stayed in! I dropped and earring and it rolled under a dresser…it was spotless underneath. I wish I could find a housekeeper to do such an excellent job at home. Denise was very accommodating and communicated clearly throughout the entire process! We will certainly look to stay here again if we are ever back in the area. Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with our family, Denise!

A True Gem

My family and I had the opportunity to stay at the High Tea Cottage for an early Christmas visit from out of town. Located in a relatively historic area of Downtown Murfreesboro, this place was absolutely beautiful. The structure has been completely renovated with modern amenities while many aspects have been restored or preserved. The pictures just don't do it justice.Check in was a breeze and accommodations were made to allow us to arrive a bit earlier to drop off bags. Instructions were very clear and thorough on procedures for entry and exit. Communication was excellent.The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had state of the art appliances. The floors were beautiful. The furniture was elaborate with many peices looking historic as well. Master shower was fantastic. All-in-all, we highly recommend this property and hope to stay here again for our next visit.
