The rooms at the Stone Cottage -- including the front screened porch (our visit was at the end of August) -- offer plenty of relaxing space. In addition to the spacious ease, there are a lot of aesthetically pleasing elements, from the pretty tiled shower with a stained glass window, to the extensive gardens. Nancy said she can't keep up with the gardens, and it seems pretty clear why, as there are so many plants and special, little gardens and areas with patio stones, tables, etc. The yards are not manicured, nor is the Stone Cottage a polished interior space. It's eclectic and alive. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable, the kitchenette functional and pleasant, and everything in the bathroom works well, so it's an easy place to take care of yourself in. My friend and I enjoyed the two small, friendly, easy dogs (who come and go), as well as a couple of interesting conversations with Nancy, who was available if we needed her, but very much separate from us and our space although she lives in another part of the house. We also enjoyed how close the Stone Cottage is to many excellent restaurants and stores, and that it has easy access to the highways that took us to destinations farther away, like the concert we came to Nashville for, and the downtown area. If I return to Nashville, I will definitely request this sweet place again.
