This was my first experience with Airbnb and let me tell you, this really sets the bar high. I had a month’s stay in Nashville for work and couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend it. The setting is unreal; it’s difficult to believe such a serene setting still exists in such a large metropolitan area like Nashville. You are right near a main highway but you’d never notice you were anywhere near a city as soon as you hit the driveway. The location is also excellent. Less than 15 minutes from Nashville Airport, Trendy East Nashville, and less than 5 from the Grand Ole Opry, Opry Land, and Opry Mills Mall.
The cabin is absolutely beautiful inside and out with its real stone walls and rustic décor, which gives it a really warm, homey feel. Large windows span the wall by the bed and look out upon a peaceful creek with nice wooded clearing on the other side and, if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to catch a glimpse if some local wildlife strolling across the clearing. There is an exceptionally comfortable memory foam bed, high end front load washer and dryer, and fully equipped kitchen with full sized fridge, stove, and a small microwave in case you want to do some cooking. You will need to face a couple steps to get down to the cabin, so those with mobility issues should take this into consideration.
And now on to my favorite part of the whole experience, the hosts, Kathy and Henry, Some of the loveliest people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. They really made me feel at home and were very attentive to making sure I was comfortable and that everything was to my utmost satisfaction. Kathy had some excellent recommendation on places to eat and I had a wonderful time just sitting in the yard and chatting with her and Henry.
This has been one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had and is definitely a huge step above any hotel you’ll find in Nashville.
