We visited Merrilyn's place as part of a long weekend to watch the solar eclipse. It's exactly as depicted in the photos and exceeded expectations. Very clean, comfortable and it feels like home. The kitchen is amazing and the back porch is a very peaceful place to enjoy coffee in the morning. She includes a DVD which tells you about the East Nashville (very cool) area and recommends several restaurants nearby. There are plenty of dining options nearby, (including amazing Nashville Hot Chicken at Pepperfire). Merrilyn's place was very relaxing and we will check it first for our next trip to Nashville.
