This is the perfect spot for a family to rest after hitting Nashville, which is about a 20-minute drive. The fully-finished basement is very neat and tidy with a large, homey living room. Beyond the living room is a bedroom with a bunk (bottom is a double) and a floor mattress they’ll put out for you. The master bedroom is lovely with its own private sitting area, which closes off to the rest of the basement. There are TV’s in this sitting room and in the living room. The ceilings are surprisingly high, considering this is a basement. You really don’t feel like you’re in a basement – Deane told us that they finished the entire floor for his mother-in-law who lived with them for years. Really, the place is much nicer than the photos depict.
A dining area has a table and chairs where you can have morning coffee. Deane and Connie even provide both regular and decaf coffee for the little 5-cup coffee maker. I had mistakenly thought that they had a kitchen, but that’s not the case. They have a refrigerator and a microwave for your use, however.
On the first night we stayed over, they had family and grandchildren over, but you’d hardly know it. We heard the teeny-tiniest patter of feet now & then, so it’s obviously well-insulated. We stayed one night at the halfway point during our trip to Florida, and stayed again on our way back to Florida. Both times, we basically wanted to just go down, settle, find a place to eat, then sleep and mission was accomplished. Deane and Connie gave us all the privacy we wanted. I highly recommend their home.
