Total eclipse? Check!! Our mini-family reunion found the perfect Germantown location in Catherine's unique 1910 home. The furnishings were stylish and welcoming, the rooms spacious, and the beds very comfortable. Our party of seven loved the walkability to a plethora of highly-rated restaurants (tip- make reservations in advance) in this somewhat newly gentrifying neighborhood. While some of our family drove from KY and KS, the rest of us took Uber from the airport and out into downtown. Skip the car if you are able! There is also a free bus in the Farmer's Market area to take you to the downtown area, too.
A couple of tips - read the first-entry access directions carefully in advance so you don't struggle. You wave your hand to get the digits to light up, but it was kind of hard to see in the sunlight. We hit a heat spell and were mostly indoors when "home" (and everything indoors was perfect and comfy), but we specifically wanted to use the backyard for eclipse-watching. The lawn had not been cut and so the yard was not inviting to walk in or put out the chairs. We retreated up to a spacious deck off of one of the bedrooms, which worked well. Catherine let us know in advance that the driveway gate was not functioning and stuck in the open position for a a few feet with trash cans blocking the opening.
Everyone in our family commented on this great home and how we would definitely stay in this home when we return to Nashville. The house guidebook helped with all of the electronics and such. Thanks again for use of your lovely home, Catherine!
