Perfect little getaway

The house with the blue door was an amazing stay. Everything we need needed even a sound machine for sleeping. Communication with the owners I would say was top notch. Would definitely stay here again. My daughter loved your encouraging “ good luck “ on the letter board since we were in town for a soccer tournament. The Christmas light it the small town felt like a hallmark movie. Thanks again for a home away from home felt stay.

Historic property with historic charm and modern conveniences

The location was convenient, and the amenities were modern and top-notch. The prior reviews about the bathroom were not applicable from my perspective. The shower worked as expected, with good water pressure & enough hot water for many showers. The delivered cookies were a real surprise & treat. This comment applies across most VRBOS and its competitors... with a 10 am check out time and assigned cleaning chores (trash, dishes & linens), it makes for a rushed morning which was a bummer. Would recommend a stay with no chores or a later check-out time to accommodate guests cleaning the rented property.

Dissatisfied

My first impression of the home was the "musty" odor that assaulted me when I walked in. Secondly were the noticeable cobwebs hanging in the corners of the dining area and kitchen. We also had to re-wash the dishes before using some of them. The small step in front of the bathtub/shower was visibly dirty with hair and dust. The communication with the host was almost non-existent. Unfortunately, while visiting a tourist site near us my friend fell, and we ended up in the emergency room at a local hospital. She ended up with a fracture of the fibula and was told not to apply weight to this leg for several weeks. This is only relevant because this particular place had stairs to access the restroom and bedrooms. My friend could not physically manage these steps. I had sent the host a message relaying this information and informing her we would have to vacate a little earlier. No comment from her. We were asked to do the first load of laundry before we left, I discovered wet linens in the washing machine and clean clothes in the dryer. So, I had to complete the washing process of the previous tenant, which by the way left clothing behind for me to discover. I did notify host of this as well. I am just a bit frustrated because I have always had better communication with my previously VRBO experiences. VRBO is a great change from the "normal" hotel experience if you find the right place. This was not the right place.

Great Experience!

We had a great stay at this house! Our family of four - two adults and two littles - had a great experience. The space was very cute and clean. The kitchen was stocked with lots of extras, and it was nice that they provided lots of extra blankets and sheets. The owners were FANTASTIC to work with - we had last minute flight changes and they were super responsive and worked with us on changing times. Will stay again!

Best Location in historic Murfreesboro, Tn

This was a really great, comfortable place to be, very accessible to the charming historic part of Murfreesboro, walking up to the town square was lovely and fun. The hosts were very helpful, the house so lovely and comfortable, and we only wish we could have stayed longer. A great place for a week's vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Marida Balch

Host profile image
We are a true Southern family and pride ourselves on welcoming everyone and never meeting a stranger! We love to take our boys on adventures, sometimes with a just few hours notice. Because of that, we really appreciate when we find great accommodations whether with friends or at a warm, cozy Airbnb, which is why we want to make sure ours is just that!

Aside from traveling, we love music and have fun taking our boys to festivals in the warmer weather (which is sometimes January around here)! When we travel, we are always on the lookout for good food and local hangouts so, rest assured, you won't get the "tourist trap" recommendations from us. ;)

We like to live life to the fullest...making each moment count!
