About this property

Historic Speakeasy+Downtown Murfressboro+Hot Tub

Swing back in time to the roaring 20’s & stay in a historic carriage house transformed into a speakeasy. Once housing the first car in town, now transformed into a jazzy escape. Whether you want to enjoy a game of poker, board game, drink from the bar, fire under the covered patio w/ cafe lights, corn hole or relax in a parklike setting on the patio - this space has it all!

Sleeps 6 ~ 2 Bedroom 3 Beds
Full bathroom w/ shower
Large parlor for gathering or games w/ 75" smart TV

"Place is great!! It's very classy with a vintage flare references to the 20's. All the things you wish were new feel new, clean and very well maintained. The architecture and interior design are inviting, warm and secure. You can tell a lot of care & time was taken with this charming house - selecting high quality finishes and decor that you'll probably want in your own place. The location is nice and quiet, tucked away in a nice neighborhood... walked to the square for great food and coffee."~Justin

Within a short walk to MTSU, farmers market May to November, dining, shopping, live music, bar, dancing, nature center, pool, tennis, basketball & pickle ball courts.

You will enter the home through the front patio. As you enter, there is spacious galley kitchen to the left fully stocked with everything you need for breakfast in, Keurig coffee maker with pods, cream and sugar, waffle maker (pancake mix and syrup), toaster and blender. Joining the kitchen to the right is a well lit dining area with a time period table and 6 well padded dining chairs.

"Carter's Speakeasy did not disappoint...they go above and beyond to create a beautiful, unique experience. Their attention to detail and the high quality furnishings always make me feel pampered."~Susan

You will then come to a spacious parlor with game/poker table for 6 complete with poker set, board games and puzzles, antique drink bar from the Peabody Hotel in Memphis (yes the one with the marching ducks), fireplace, couch and barrel chairs with ottomans. Enjoy a view of the park like courtyard from the parlor as you play games, lounge on the leather chesterfield sofa or velvet barrel chairs with ottomans or simply enjoy a drink from the bar (alcohol not included). Delight in some photo ops as you and your guests adorn the period style hats and headbands on display.

~Behind the kitchen you will find the Roaring 20's bedroom featuring a queen bed w/ dresser to make you feel right at home. Each bedroom includes fresh linens, lush velvet quilts and decorative pillows, smart tv, a closet with luggage rack and hangers.
~The Hollywood glam room located behind the parlor offers queen bunkbeds with velvet chaise lounge for a quiet retreat. The bathroom centrally located between the two rooms and boasts an oversized glass enclosed shower including toiletries, fresh linens, vanity with make up mirror with plush velvet stool.

The Parlor and Roaring 20's rooms both have ceiling fans, if you're a fan. Ring Camera at main door and camera at gate not facing the house

Can be rented w/ Historic Victorian Cottage that sleeps 8 with 2 bathrooms, spa, cafe mood lighting, patio with comfortable seating and firetable (VRBO property ID 3223133)

Speakeasy

The house was beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. Communication was great and very quick. We even met the owners and they are so friendly and willing to help with any issues. The hot tub was very clean and in perfect working order. They provide plenty of games and some, dishes, and essentials for your stay. There are quite a few fun things to do in the area and quite a few brochures provided for local thinfs in the house. We throughly enjoying our stay and how easy and stress free the owners made it for us on our vacation!

Friends Reunion

We had the best time, we had six of us. We all had plenty of room, the bathroom worked well because of the double door. Overall all areas of the house were clean, updated & really inviting. We felt the 1920’s vibe in every space, while still having the modern touch. If you’re looking for a sweet place outside of Nashville’s but still close enough for a drive in. We absolutely loved it and plan to be back again :) Also! Denise was so kind to us! Super host for sure. We all give five starts all around!!

Just as advertised

We found the property to be exactly as presented in the listing. It was spotless! We enjoyed the security of the gated parking and the location only a few blocks from the downtown square. We walked to the square and found several restaurants that had delicious food! I definitely recommend if you ever stay in the area. They don't allow eating and colored drinks outside the kitchen/dining area but that wasn't a problem for us as we ate out at mealtime. The home was an older one with a few squeaky floor boards that added charm to this immaculate home. And we had a '20s photo shoot with the four of us in keeping with the theme of the home. That was a riot! The kitchen was fully furnished with cookware, dishes, silverware and small appliances. They even stocked some spices in the cute little spice drawer. Wonderful time at a great property.

10 Stars!!!

If I could give this property 10 stars, I would! Absolutley lovely "Speakeasy" themed decor. No detail left untouched, with excquisite quality everywhere. We enjoyed a lovely evening playing poker with family the night before a wedding. It was the most lovely place to decompress, rest and be together with loved ones. The setting is serene and the venue is magnificent. We met the owner, and he was most helpful. He took notes of our check in problems, and said they would work to correct it. Any lower ratings are due to challenges with the check in process with VRBO and missing information that made it difficult for us to access the location. We could not contact the host directly, and VRBO was not able to assist. Other than that, I highly recommend this location.

Communication with host was amazing. We had issues with 1 of the tvs and they were very helpful. Check in went smoothly. The home has some tight spaces. Can be a little difficult if you are a larger person. There were also no utensils to prepare food on the grill that was provided. There are little plaques with rule reminders all iver the home alongnwith a book of information and the rules and reminders you get upon check in. It was a little overwhelming and did make it difficult to settle in.

We had a great stay! The home was cozy and well stocked. Directions were clear for where to go and how to use the gate. The home was clean and the host was easy to communicate with!We would have preferred to know ahead of time that there were multiple homes on the same property being booked at the same time. We shared a driveway with other guests. Also, the picture of the hammock is a little misleading, because we did not have access to the front yard area and there were signs saying it was not available to us. Overall, we would definitely stay again and we loved the atmosphere!

Beautiful

The house was beautiful and nicely decorated to fit the theme. The kitchen had all of the necessary appliances to make the stay easy and convenient. The beds were comfortable and we all had restful sleep. The living room sofa and chairs were not very comfortable and made watching a movie somewhat unpleasant. Other than that the property was amazing.

We enjoy hosting and meeting new people, traveling and experiencing different countries and cultures. We are thrilled to be learning this new real estate and hospitality industry. Our hope is that our enthusiasm will show in our guests experiences.

Why they chose this property

The historic charm of the neighborhood and quaint town square stole our hearts. We enjoy walking to the square to enjoy a meal, listen to live music, shop or grab an ice cream cone.

What makes this property unique

We feel the historic properties and location of our carriage house definitely set it apart. It has been thoughtfully preserved and appointed to reflect a speakeasy during the roaring 20's.
