The Neighborhood: Vibe: Marathon Village, a unique neighborhood of sorts that has become quite a Nashville hotspot, is made up of a group of 100-year-old warehouse buildings which was originally where the Marathon, a car made in the early 1900s, was built. Fast forward to today, and it has become a complex for artists’, photographers’, and designers’ studios.
Eat: Some of Nashville's best whiskey and spirit makers call Marathon Village home. In between your tasting tours, do stop by The Bang Candy Company for one of their amazing marshmallows. You can thank us later!
Play: Serving as a model of adaptive reuse of historic structures, Marathon Village is one of Nashville's most creative communities -- with more than 45 tenants representing fine, commercial, and performing arts. The building used to house the Marathon Factory back in 1910, which produced the Marathon Automobile. Guests are welcome to browse the facilities to see some of the old remains of this historic building in Music City.

Nashville Pickers, distillery, coffee, shopping, lots of history!) • Midtown (college bars, Vandy kids, good food) • Germantown (great food, very safe area, former warehouse district) • The Gulch (good eats and shopping) • Lower Broadway ("The Strip", Honkey Tonks, The Ryman, museums, etc.) • Hillsboro Village (no chains, everything in this area is locally owned) • 5 Points (Think Nashville's version of Williamsburg or Silverlake) • 12 South (good eats and shopping)

This property is owned by a property management group. They only advertise through VRBO. After you have reserved and pay for the property, they require a picture of your drivers license, a selfie with the DL, and a front and back picture of your credit card. Then they charge you a ridiculously high deposit on top of what you have already paid. None of this is optional. And you don't find this out until right before your stay so you have no option. On top of that they do not have a phone number at all. On top of all of that, this property is in the middle of a very sketchy neighbor hood. My wife and I were approached by people trying tell sell us things we were not interested in. This will probably be the last time I use VRBO.

Shane, we appreciate you tkaing the time and leaving us a review. But, with all due respect, we have been hosts for a couple of years and have a personal account rep with VRBO, we meet with every month about everything from policy updates, tech integration, issues to financials. We are aware of what we are permitted to as ask of our guests, which is outlined in our house rules. Please understand that we are not trying to make things harder for you intentionally. We have an incredibly stringent set of rules and requirements from the building owner, whom we are contacted by regularly to ensure we are operating and hosting within the their requirements and the city policies. I do sincerely apologize but we absolutely cannot forgo the requirements, as this would mean our relationship would be on the line with the building owners, the city, etc.
Originally four of us were going, but two had to cancel. Thankfully they did because there were not enough towels for four. We had a total of four bath towels, one hand towel, and three washcloths. The furniture was old and uncomfortable. The living room had a loveseat and a chair. Again, we were thankful only two of us were there as there was not enough “comfortable” seating for four. The fourth person would have had to sit in a dinette chair. Parking is awful. Do not count on a parking space and do not take a large vehicle. The parking lot is basically an alley with spots haphazardly placed. Permanent residents have an actual parking lot. Their lot was nearly empty the whole time we were there white the non resident lot was overflowing with people trying to create spots. We did not feel safe in the neighborhood. I’m a runner and did not feel comfortable going out for a run. The entire property is fenced so inside the fence we were fine. I have spoken with the property manager about my concerns. The response was prompt.
Great spot to stay if catching a show at Marathon Music Works. Fairly easy walk to Music Row or Downtown.

Get closer to downtown
Property was ok. Room was clean but was in a dated building and in an area not super close to downtown. Updates were not done well especially the bathroom. AC worked well and the area was surprisingly quiet with the exception of the train whistle in the mornings. Downstairs neighbor left their garbage in the hallway and the odor was overwhelming. Area was somewhat sketchy and we observed a fight between two ladies at an adjacent property after coming back from downtown. I would probably spend more and get closer to downtown next time.
