TRULY CENTRAL EAST NASHVILLE COTTAGE

The Cottage:
Located in the popular East Nashville neighborhood a hidden garden oasis awaits you as you enter the courtyard through your completely private entrance. The guest cottage was originally a railroad workers home and one of the oldest structures in the neighborhood. Built in the mid 1800’s, the now renovated cottage is a unique hideaway close to downtown and reflects a love of art, gardening and the comforts of your “home away from home”. It is perfect for a single person or couple to enjoy a restful and cozy environment after a full day of visiting Music City.

The guest cottage is run by two culturally experienced, open-minded, world travelers who offer a practical, comfortable and inspired visit for people who, given the correct amenities and location, prefer to take care of themselves.

The cottage features it's own separate entrance in the alley behind the main home.
Your stay will leave you in want of nothing else except to explore the sights and sounds of what is nicknamed “Nashvegas”.
So come on and be our guest and experience the old and new Nashville!

What you'll find when you get here:
The cottage features it's own separate entrance from the alley behind the main home.
Please note The main house is a private residence. Please do not disturb.

Guests Arrival:
When you reserve your visit you are given the code for your easy access to self-check in. I am available by text or cell in the event you need anything or have any questions while you enjoy your stay.

The Neighborhood:
The cottage is located in the most popular neighborhood in Nashville and just minutes away from downtown and lower Broadway’s famous Honky Tonks and the world famous Ryman Auditorium. You are also a short drive to the many hip restaurants, coffee shops and local drinking establishments near our historic “5 Points” neighborhood in East Nashville.

Getting Around:
If you prefer not to drive, the public transit system is 2 blocks away, however I suggest you use Uber or Lyft for easy connivence getting around our city.
The cottage is just under 4 miles by car to I-24 making it an easy access to venture out and tour other parts of Nashville and/or drop in on the many music venues all within 10 to 15 minutes from the cottage.

We are located just blocks from the Music City Bikeway which has direct access to downtown.

Enjoy a stroll, run or bike ride through Shelby Bottoms Park located just one block from your front door. The park offers over 300 acres of wetlands and trails that run along the Cumberland River where you might catch sight of the General Jackson Showboat chugging down the river.

There is also Vinny Links golf course nearby.

On the other side of the Cumberland is the Grand Ole Opry. Take in a concert or go shopping at the Opry Mills Mall but don’t miss a walk through the spectacular atrium at the Opryland Hotel which is free and all are located within the same vicinity.

Nashville's airport is also easily accessible and less than 9 miles (approx. 16 minutes) from the guest cottage.

Great place to stay!

This little apartment was a great place to stay during our vacation to Nashville. This neighborhood is close to everything and feels so safe. It’s a great place to go for a walk or a run. We will definitely try to stay here again if it is available.

Return visit

This was our second stay in Shelby Hills. Enjoy the quiet neighborhood. Close enough to downtown to get there quickly yet far enough to get away from it too. Shelby park is only a couple blocks away and is beautiful. Cottage is a small cozy place that is ideal for a couple. Thanks Cynthia for another enjoyable stay. We’ll be back again.

Cottage in the city

Within minutes from downtown. We enjoyed our stay in this little cottage. Nice new shower. Quiet. Private. It is tricky getting your car parked along fence line in alleyway. There is a main house on this property fairly close. I wouldnt recommend anymore then 2 people in this unit as it is a small space with 3 basic rooms. But overall good.

East Nashville cozy cottage

My husband and I stayed in this cozy cottage in East Nashville for 6 days the week before Thanksgiving. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Nashville by seeing lots of different sites and sounds and enjoying the many tastes of Nashville. This Cottage was a great relaxing place to return to at the end of the day. Would highly recommended for its convenience, cleanliness and overall comfortable setting.

Perfect spot to stay in Nashville

This adorable cottage is in the perfect location for a visit to Nashville. Literally minutes from any activity from downtown partying to a visit to the Opry. The cottage was clean, beautifully decorated, (I even asked where to get the comforter!) and very cozy. Cynthia, the owner, was gracious and easy to get a hold of when needed. I would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to avoid a hotel and craving peace and quiet.

Quiet, clean and comfortble

Had a great 4 night stay in this adorable cottage. Well equipped kitchen and large fridge, which we appreciated since we did a lot of our meals at home. Covered porch was nice for coffee in the morning, especially when we had rain showers. Close to Shelby Park where we went every morning for a walk. Easy drive to Nissan stadium where we parked to go into downtown. Would stay here again.

Great location

Great location. Plenty to do in a short distance. It was a nice clean cottage. Appreciated having a house experience rather than a hotel. Price was competitive to area hotels. Perfect size for a couple, but because of the size, it is not a place to take a family. Only drawbacks were parking in an alley, when there is a spot inside the fence. Not enough towels provided for the whole stay, but we we’re asked to not wash them. And someone walked through yard to take trash out.

Birthday surprise

I booked this lovely cottage for a long weekend get a way to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The cottage was clean, kitchen stocked with supplies to cook with - even a carrot peeler (other rentals haven’t had this simple tool) and was a relaxing place to return after our daily activities. The nearby local restaurants were a pleasant surprise- Lockland Table, pizza place across from LT, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream and The Pharmacy. Loved walking in Shelby Park - it’s literally down the block. Book it- you’ll be glad you did.

A tranquil escape at a cute cottage

This cottage was a restful reprieve after exploring the city. It was the perfect size for two and gave my husband and I a "home away from home" feeling. Its obvious Cynthia is an experienced host. From the information we were given ahead of time and that which we recieved upon check-in, my husbnd and I were well informed. She was even willing to accomodate a special request which was so appreciated. I could not recommend more. Im already trying to convince my husband to buy the same couch she had in the cottage. So comfy!

Short stay, two nights

The room was rather shabby and I don’t mean shabby chic. No long mirrors to check yourself out before going to a wedding. Entry is from the alley which is gravel. as well as a gravel walkway and square stepping stones to the cottage (not good if you are dressed up, pulling luggage or getting back to the cottage after dark. Limited counter space in the bathroom. No tissues.
