The Red Door Cottage is absolutely beautiful and comfortable. It's in a safe and quiet neighborhood. We even walked around a couple of blocks one morning. Very nice neighbors. Mary was not available to meet us but we were in constant communication via text messaging. She even left us a bottle of wine in celebration of our wedding anniversary.
The cottage is very nicely decorated with a touch of elegance and sophistication. Mary even placed some seasonal items throughout the place making it look fun and festive but not taking way from the beautiful décor.
The cottage is located about 10 minutes from downtown Nashville. Uber or Lyft will get you there safely, costing around $10 depending on the time of day. Please note: during busy times, the car rates can double even triple, so plan your trip accordingly. During busy times you may want to be dropped off and picked up a block or two away from Broadway where all the bars and honky tonks are. The drivers can take as long as 30 minutes to go two blocks during peak times.
If you are staying more than two days, and need to get groceries, Krogers supermarket is a short 5 min drive...and they sell wine!!!! One stop shopping for us!!! There are other retail establishments in that area as well. Uber cost about $5 each way.
Speaking of longer stays, if you plan to stay at the cottage for more than 2 days, please note there currently is no closet space to hang your clothes, only hooks behind a couple of doors, but Mary is working on that. She does pride herself in making the cottage very comfortable and accommodating to her guests.
I highly recommend the Red Door Cottage if you want to be in a quiet and comfortable area.
