Perfect place to stay

This was the nicest house we've stayed at in Nashville. Very clean and Beautifully decorated. Love the Nashville decor! Newly renovated and very organized. Things were easy to find because of how everything had a place and the labels really helped. We went for the SEC basketball tournament and it was an easy and quick commute to downtown. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood. It felt safe. We also enjoyed walking to the coffee place nearby. The beds were super comfortable and we slept great. I would definitely recommend and come back to stay here again.

PERFECT

This house is absolutely perfect, comfortable furniture and beds, lovely decor, clean and new appliances, super fast Wi-Fi, and a wonderful location with plenty of restaurants and shopping with a walkable distance (under a mile) and very easy to get downtown with rideshare. We were here for a game at Nissan Stadium and could not have been happier with both the house and the location. An additional bonus is having a fenced in front yard with the fact that it accepts dogs. 100% recommend, you will not be disappointed, it's like home away from home.

This home is so beautiful, comfortable and well equipped that we didn’t want to leave. It’s a great location near everything in Nashville but on a quiet street. The hosts are great, they have given you all the information you could want about the house and surrounding area. Lots of great communication!

Amazing property, Amazing Host, Amazing Attention to details

I talked to host several times regarding our stay and she was super responsive and helpful. When we arrived at the property we were very happy with the accommodations, the property itself was updated with very nice finishing touches and the decor was definitely Easy Nashville ! The kitchen was well stocked (we love to cook together and eat together) and had enough plates and silverware for us to have 2 meals a day without having to wash dishes in between. There were extras in the baths in case you forgot something (which it seems someone in our group forgets something) like spray deodorant, new razors, and others. We would definitely recommend this property and this host, and since my sister lives about a mile from the property, may stay here again.

Always like home away from home...

At the risk of sounding selfish and delusional, I want to keep pretending that the Country Cottage is my second home! We have been coming here for about five years now and it's really perfectly located for us because we have friends nearby and it's away (but not too far) from downtown. There are too many great things to mention, but I will try: A lovely front porch where we like to sip wine from Woodland Wine Shop and watch our dog sunbathe in the yard; the new massive shower in the master bedroom, the proximity to so many great restaurants, and most of all, the dog friendly and welcoming attitude of Megan. She truly does think of everything and is so accessible. Anyway, we had a great time and we will definitely be back again soon!

I would teleport this house back home

Seriously, Everything about this property is simply great. This is a classy, well thought out and strategically accessible home. The decor is SO stylish, quirky and fun, thoughtful, contemporary, and yet not ā€˜in your face’ at all. From the front porch and yard and throughout the house, the house seems to beg you to be comfortable and feel at home while maintaining its fresh, clean lines. When you stop and look at the details and contents of each room, you really appreciate the thought and enthusiasm put into this renovation. Furniture is very comfy without and engulfing you. In the back family room there are even cushy ottomans to rest your feet up on. There are four televisions in the house and I turntable with Albums! Thick velveteen blackout drapes complement the comfy bedrooms. The master bathroom is huge with separate toilet and a walk in closet. The guestroom is large and the beautiful guest bathroom is just out its doorway. Even the guestroom has double sinks and the tile surrounding the tub/shower is gorgeous. There are wood floors throughout, which makes it comfortable to walk without shoes. I loved the solid wood square dining room table that would comfortably seat eight folks with a variety of mismatched chairs. The kitchen was stocked almost as well as my own. With two living areas, it gave us a chance to each have our own space to read or watch TV during our downtime. The garage outback has been turned into a smaller rental, but no one was there while we stayed. House is in walking distance to Walgreens and countless restaurants. Nashville East is a very active area with nightlife and eateries everywhere. Didn’t track down the nearest coffee shop though. We were in town to visit friends who lived closer to Music Row so we weren’t in our neighborhood as much. And speaking of the neighborhood, it is very walkable. I literally would not hesitate to rent this spot. And next time we’ll probably bring our dog too. Hosts with Southbound Stays are marvelously friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic about what they do. I wish they had more rentals in more areas than just this area of Tennessee. Have y’all thought of branching out into Asheville area? Maybe a little bit of Weaverville or Lake Lure?? Oh, and don’t miss the Country Music Hall of Fame while you’re here. And take advantage of the zillions of places for live music.

Amazing stay at Country Cottage!

Our stay at Country Cottage was just perfect! The house is beautiful and was spacious enough for six of us - the bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and living areas are beautiful and just as pictured! We couldn’t find anything that they haven’t thought of to ensure that it feels like home away from home! The perfect weather also allowed us to enjoy the front porch before and after our adventures in Nashville. And if all of this wasn’t enough, there was the special touch of birthday balloons and cake! Thanks Megan and Richard for an amazing stay! ā¤ļø

We felt so at home at this beautiful house. It was decorated with such detail, and surprisingly close to downtown. We were also able to walk to restaurants, a brewery, and the grocery store. Very dog and family friendly. (Be sure to bring sheets to cover the furniture. It’s too pretty to cover in dog hair. Lol) We will keep this at this top of our list for all future stays and recommendations to friends. Wonderful experience!

About the host

Hosted by Southbound Stays

Host profile image
Hi! We’re Megan & Richard. We are a husband-and-wife team who own and host our own rentals as Southbound Stays. We provide family- and dog- friendly accommodations in areas that we frequent and trust. Our goal is to simplify travel and ensure a memorable stay for our guests by providing plentiful amenities, clear communication and a variety of travel suggestions.

Our hosting journey began in 2016 and today, we own and host 6 short-term rental properties in Tennessee & Florida. Our guests enjoy staying at our rentals because:

• They are in incredible locations that we frequent and trust.
• Each rental was designed with intention to maximize space and comfort
• Plentiful amenities, including family-friendly conveniences

Whether your travels lead you to the city, countryside, or coast, we are ready to welcome you! We’d be honored to be your hosts and hope our rentals become a cherished part of the memories you make during your own southbound stay in Tennessee or Florida.

Why they chose this property

The Country Cottage was our first vacation rental home! We, ourselves frequented the neighborhood because of the locally owned area businesses - dining, bars, shopping! The home was built in the 1920s and held so much historic charm. The street itself is in a historic overlay and we loved that the character of the neighborhood was intact without all of the new builds. We did our first interior renovation in 2016 but in 2022, we tackled an extensive restoration / renovation and took the home 'to the studs' while adding a bathroom and 2nd living room. The 9-month renovation allowed us to carefully curate everything in the home from the ground up and maintain its historical charm while offering modern amenities.
