The coziest stay! This home is so wonderful, comfortable, clean and charmingly decorated! Centrally located in East Nashville and the hosts are incredible. The house has everything you need and everything you didn’t know you needed! The kitchen has it all for travelers looking to cook and relax at the property. The accommodations for small children are incredible (high chair, baby monitor, black out curtains, baby bath and so many great toys and books). If we could give this property 10 stars we would! Highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Southbound Stays
Hi! We’re Megan & Richard. We are a husband-and-wife team who own and host our own rentals as Southbound Stays. We provide family- and dog- friendly accommodations in areas that we frequent and trust. Our goal is to simplify travel and ensure a memorable stay for our guests by providing plentiful amenities, clear communication and a variety of travel suggestions.
Our hosting journey began in 2016 and today, we own and host 6 short-term rental properties in Tennessee & Florida. Our guests enjoy staying at our rentals because:
• They are in incredible locations that we frequent and trust. • Each rental was designed with intention to maximize space and comfort • Plentiful amenities, including family-friendly conveniences
Whether your travels lead you to the city, countryside, or coast, we are ready to welcome you! We’d be honored to be your hosts and hope our rentals become a cherished part of the memories you make during your own southbound stay in Tennessee or Florida.
Why they chose this property
The Country Cottage was our first vacation rental home! We, ourselves frequented the neighborhood because of the locally owned area businesses - dining, bars, shopping! The home was built in the 1920s and held so much historic charm. The street itself is in a historic overlay and we loved that the character of the neighborhood was intact without all of the new builds. We did our first interior renovation in 2016 but in 2022, we tackled an extensive restoration / renovation and took the home 'to the studs' while adding a bathroom and 2nd living room. The 9-month renovation allowed us to carefully curate everything in the home from the ground up and maintain its historical charm while offering modern amenities.
