If privacy and charm are what you are looking for, the Hobbit House is it! Tucked away on a quiet residential street, it is only a mile from the Grand Ole Opry, Opryland Resort and Convention Center, Opry Mills Mall, movies, restaurants, the General Jackson Showboat rides and beautiful walking/biking trails. Only 10 minutes to downtown and 15 minutes from the airport. Our cozy home has a relaxing partial view of the Cumberland River, en-suite bathrooms, TV and Wifi/cable. It has wood paneling throughout the main body of the house and hardwood floors. Suitable for 4 adults. We have a well-stocked kitchen and provide nice linens and the essentials such as shampoo and soap. This home is on a street where TV shows are shot to give the impression that the setting is out in the country. This was our home for a number of years and our friends named it the Hobbit House. Several years ago we moved to a larger house just 4 doors away, but we loved this house too much to sell it, and Richard still tends his organic garden here. This home is not for people who want everything to be new. It is the home where we raised our children. It has been lived in - and loved.

We extend our hospitality to ALL people. Come to Nashville and enjoy the attractions, then come home to relax and watch the birds, the wildlife, and the boats go by. As one of our happy guests said, It's like being in the country and the city at the same time.

The home is very well stocked with things you didn’t even know you’d need. The view is incredible and the bird feeder was always busy. Downtown Nashville was just a short drive away, and there was plenty to do near the home as well. The host were easy to reach and even came and filled the bird feeder when it was out. Wonderful place. Would stay again.

    Escape to a slice of riverside paradise at this absolutely enchanting cottage on the Cumberland River. Our stay was nothing short of magical, a true home away from home that exceeded every expectation.From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the cottage's charm and the serene beauty of its surroundings. The location is an absolute dream—nestled right on the riverbank, yet just minutes away from the vibrant energy of Opry Mills and the iconic Grand Ole Opry. It’s the perfect blend of peaceful seclusion and convenient access to Nashville’s top attractions.Step inside, and you'll find a space that feels both grand and cozy. The cottage is incredibly spacious, yet every room feels thoughtfully designed and welcoming. It's a testament to the owners' dedication that the entire property is immaculately maintained. The cleanliness is impeccable—everything gleams, from the polished floors to the pristine linens.What truly sets this cottage apart is the meticulous attention to detail. The owners have anticipated every single need a VRBO renter could possibly have, and then some. The kitchen is fully stocked with high-end appliances and all the cookware you could desire. The bathrooms are furnished with plush towels and quality toiletries. There is a stunning deck perfect for sipping coffee while watching the river flow by. It's clear that the owners have poured their hearts into making this a truly perfect getaway.This isn't just a rental; it's an experience. The care

    Perfect in every way. We absolutely LOVED our stay here. It was so hard to leave! Sherry and Richard are excellent hosts. So many wonderful thoughtful details. Morning coffee and bird watching on the deck was a favorite part of our trip to Nashville. Sleeping in the super comfy bed was another favorite part of our trip! And the location is awesome. Close to downtown, but there is also so much to do within a few miles of the cottage. Some of the BEST music we enjoyed was at the clubs just a few miles away. If we make it back to Nashville, we sure hope this very charming river cottage will be available for another stay!

    My Dad, sister and I met in Nashville for a mini family reunion and we could not have asked for a better place to stay. First of all, Sherry and Richard are wonderful, thoughtful hosts. We were fortunate to meet them and they could not have been nicer, and the touches that they added like having coffee and cookies available was extra special. The location is fantastic, in a beautiful and quiet setting but close to stores, restaurants and a 15-20 minute drive downtown. This is advertised as two bedrooms, but also has a separate room with twin bunk beds. The two bathrooms are within the other two rooms, so there is not a communal bathroom which could maybe be a small issue depending on who you are traveling with (you have to go into someone's room to use a bathroom, even in the middle of the night) but it didn't bother us at all. I would highly recommend this vacation rental to anyone.

Just a few minutes from the conference but felt like our own little retreat. Hosts were so kind and accommodating, and loved relaxing in the home with a real “cabin” feel after a day of meetings. Beautiful view of the river and loved the bird watching. Perfect spot, would absolutely stay again!

The beds were very comfortable, there’s a big bathtub, well stocked kitchen….. everything you would want for a trip away! It’s also in a quiet neighbor hood! The drive to the airport , Opryland, and Downtown is reasonable and there’s lots of restaurants nearby. Definitely 5-star and although there were no problems, the owners live nearby.

    My daughter and I stayed at the Hobbit House for four days in mid-October and enjoyed our stay immensely. Our hosts, Sherry and Richard, were very gracious and available if we had any questions. The cottage was in pristine condition. The kitchen was supplied with all the basics one would need as well as fresh linens, reading material and brochures for the local attractions. The cottage itself is in a beautiful setting with a welcoming deck overlooking the Cumberland River where we sat with our morning coffee while listening to the birds sing their songs. And again in the evening after a long day in Nashville. The cottage is located one mile from the Grand Ole Opry and all the attractions and venues that surround it. Grocery stores were close by if one needed to stock the refrigerator. Every day we set off to Nashville to explore all the sights and craziness it had to offer all the while knowing we were heading back to our peaceful hideaway to kick back and relax for the evening. It was the best of both worlds! We would highly recommend the Hobbit House. We hope to return again soon to explore more of beautiful Tennessee. Christa and Christa Ann from the Jersey Shore!

    This updated log cabin is spacious, superbly equipped, clean and has a family feel throughout. There is interesting art, lively bird activity at the back deck feeder, thoughtful & safe lighting and very helpful information throughout. Sitting in the family room, we saw a white groundhog who must live down the hill near the Cumberland River, which we loved watching from the deck, seeing tugs, tows and barges. This home is quiet and is very close to Opryland and its amazing hotel with three enormous public areas, including restaurants, fountains, trees, beautiful plants and a riverboat ride with gorgeous plants and waterfalls! Expressway access to downtown and midtown is easy. We are so grateful that this homestead was available for us to enjoy a cousins' week together. It couldn't have been any better.
