If you read nothing else - read this: BEST. AIRBNB. IN. NASHVILLE.
The cost, the location, the beautiful home design, and it's incredible and selfless hosts are truly unprecedented.
This cottage is PERFECT for a couples or bestfriend getaway to Nashville, as it is located only a short 5-7 min drive away from some of the best donut shops and taco shops in Nashville and 15-18 min drive away from the heart of bustling downtown Nashville (drive time only to the stop lights!)
Our stay here was nothing short of magical and welcoming! The bedroom's memory foam mattress, pillows, and sound machine gave us the BEST night's rest we have had in any AirBNB, ever. I cannot stress this enough. I woke up EVERY morning refreshed. The beautiful but functional kitchen provided everything we needed (including very thoughtful snacks, water, and coffee for our busy days).
If you stay here, you MUST do at least 2 things:
1) Make cocktails and sit on the porch at dusk. The chairs are SO COMFORTABLE and the beautiful, open back yard was DANCING with fireflies! It was simple, so unexpected, and truly magical.
We were stunned at how close we were to the city and everything was still so quiet and peaceful. We had almost convinced ourselves we were staying in the country.
2) If you bring your bikes (like we did), you MUST drive down the street to Cornelia Fort Airpark! It's an old AirField that they have turned into a park (with jungle gyms for kiddos), as well as an unofficial bike course on the old tarmack. It was unlike anything I had ever seen!
This park was a well-kept secret amongst the locals, but still attracted families from the neighborhood. Several couples were training or raced their bikes amongst themselves (w/ the occasioinal docile deer which appeared from the woods and were a very pleasant surprise). These field trails also connected with the Music City Trails - which lead us to a beautiful bridge that crossed over Cumberland River. Riding across this bridge at sunset with the cotten candy skies and hidden artwork was a memory I'll cherish forever.
Stay here for your next trip to Nashville.
Your heart will thank you for it.
