EARLY CHECK-IN
I absolutely wish we could offer an early check-in! However, this is a large property that takes between 6-10 hours to prepare for the next guest after someone checks out. It usually is not ready until right at 5 PM. We will always let you know if it does happen to be ready any earlier. The ONLY way to guarantee early access will be to book the night before your reservation.
Perfect location and accommodations for our trip and beautiful property. Hosts are nice and responsive. We were all adults for our trip. I would not recommend for young kids.
My family and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful historic estate! The property is very well kept, including the large swimming pool. It felt very clean and was the perfect size for my family's vacation (12 adults and 2 children under 3). The linens and appliances are all high quality which was a very nice extra. The hosts were great to deal with and replied quickly. I would absolutely reccommend this house!! Thanks so much Savannah for hosting us!
I had my bachelorette party here. It is such a gorgeous home. It fit me and my 13 friends perfectly/comfortably. The pool is a big plus. The place was clean, the host was super nice and helpful through the whole experience. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. We didn’t want to leave!
My friends, family, and I had an amazing time at Idlers Retreat! The home is absolutely breathtaking and we all enjoyed the pool very much. The location of this home was also perfect for us to get to downtown Nashville as needed. Would definitely stay here again!
Really enjoyed our stay! We loved how they kept charm of the historical house, but with modern conveniences. We have stayed in many short-term-rentals and I can say this one was the cleanest one we've seen!
Such a wonderful time, in such a gorgeous house!
We celebrated family birthdays all week in this very comfortable house. We had 8 adults and 2 children and there was more than enough room for everyone. The kitchen is fantastic and we enjoyed cooking our meals on the wonderful gas stove. The dining room had more than enough room for all of us to sit and eat together. The pool was amazing! The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. We couldn’t have asked for a better visit! Thanks for sharing your fantastic property!
My family and I stayed here over a long weekend to participate and celebrate my cousin's wedding. All of my family members expressed deep appreciation for having this wonderful home to gather, share meals, hang out at the pool, sit in nature, play games, cook together in the large kitchen, and be located close to the freeway in order to have access to may other parts of the Nashville greater area. My 70 year old mother enjoyed having a couple of stairs to climb in order to stay in the second home with a large and comfortable bed. We had so much fun and experienced so much love because there was enough space to for all of us to just be together! Thank you Savannah! Thank you to your husband as well!!! You responded immediately to any questions or requests we had. You are wonderful hosts!!!
We had a large group of people, the property was large enough to still have peace and quiet.The bedrooms were very comfortable and everything was centrally located to the property. The pool was a plus and well enjoyed.
You could feel the history of this home. The old wooden floors, large spiraling staircase. But it had all the amenities of a new home. We had 14 people stay the weekend and never felt crowded. The shower and toilet in each bedroom was a perfect addition and made getting ready so easy. The location is fair, not too far from Nashville and downtown tucked into a suburb. The host was great and very responsive to questions.
The property gives a historic vibe that we wish we knew. It was perfectly modern and rustic.
Small issue with the water. Owner came to the house, himself, with the Utility Company, in record time, in the rain, and supervised the resolution himself. BTW, it was the utility company’s fault, but the owner made sure it was fixed, and followed up with me before he left.
