The Neighborhood:
The cottage is located in the most popular neighborhood in Nashville and just minutes away from downtown and lower Broadway’s famous Honky Tonks and the world famous Ryman Auditorium. You are also a short drive to Nissan stadium and many hip restaurants, coffee shops, music venues and local drinking establishments near our historic “5 Points” neighborhood in East Nashville.
Getting Around:
If you prefer not to drive, the public transit system is less than 2 blocks away, however I suggest you use Uber or Lyft for easy connivence getting around our city. The cottage is just under 4 miles by car to I-24 making it an easy access to venture out and tour other parts of Nashville and/or drop in on the many music venues all within 10 to 15 minutes from the cottage.
We are located just blocks from the Music City Bikeway which has direct access to downtown.
Enjoy a stroll, run or bike ride through Shelby Bottoms Park located just one block from your front door. The park offers over 800 acres of wetlands and trails that run along the Cumberland River where you might catch sight of the General Jackson Showboat chugging down the river.
There is also Vinny Links golf course a few blocks away.
On the other side of the Cumberland is the Grand Ole Opry. Take in a concert or go shopping at the Opry Mills Mall but don’t miss a walk through the spectacular atrium at the Opryland Hotel. It's free to stroll through a tropical jungle-like atmosphere with shops and eating places, there is even a boat ride on the river that runs through the hotel, all of this is located within the same vicinity.
Nashville's recently updated airport is also easily accessible and less than 9 miles (approx. 16 minutes) from the guest cottage.

Thank you so much for staying sSonia and I do hope to host you again...anytime!
Very cute and cozy cottage within a great location. Quiet, away from the business of the city but still close to everything. I loved staying here and will stay again if given the opportunity. Host communication was quick and easy. There is 1 parking place, so keep that in mind. Perfect for 1 person or a couple. Cannot say enough about this place!
Directions and check-in process were very easy thanks to the host. She is very responsive. Cottage was very cute, clean and located close to everything we were wanting to do. 10/10!
I'm definitely not a fan of the pressure to leave a five star review but in this case it was no pressure at all. The cottage is perfectly clean and a perfect location. great neighborhood walkable to a great Park close enough to downtown to drive or get a cab. We had great food in the area based on former rental recommendations. 5 star
This little apartment was a great place to stay during our vacation to Nashville. This neighborhood is close to everything and feels so safe. It’s a great place to go for a walk or a run. We will definitely try to stay here again if it is available.
Everything about our stay was wonderful. This is a beautiful cottage with a lovely owner and we are so thankful for our experience here. We will absolutely check here first when looking to stay in the area again.

The cottage we stayed in was pleasant and clean. The neighborhood was charming, quiet, and safe. We enjoyed being close to Shelby Park. Downtown Nashville was a short drive from the property. There are so many things to do jn the surrounding area if you want to explore.

Thank you Jeremy. I appreciate having great guests and to make the cottage a great experience for all who come and visit Nashville. Hope you come back. There’s always more adventures!
Amazing property! We enjoyed East Nashville very much. Convenient to downtown Nashville and ordering an Uber was the way to go. Enjoyed the outdoor space for coffee drinking and Shelby park was a short walk away.
Perfect location for exploring Nashville and going to Enchant and Grand Old Opry! Comfortable and quaint, the cottage had everything we needed!

This property is an amazing neighborhood. Walking distance to so many good eateries.
Spend one day on Nashville then move away from the city to enjoy Mother Nature. So much to do.

Thank you Jacob for your positive review of my cottage and for being a great guest. Hope you’ll think of my place when you come back to visit Nashville and don’t forget about the 900 plus acres of Shelby Park. You don’t have to wander too far out of the city to enjoy the nature. That’s what I love about Nashville.
Happy Trails
My husband and I stayed in this cozy cottage in East Nashville for 6 days the week before Thanksgiving. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Nashville by seeing lots of different sites and sounds and enjoying the many tastes of Nashville. This Cottage was a great relaxing place to return to at the end of the day. Would highly recommended for its convenience, cleanliness and overall comfortable setting.

This adorable cottage is in the perfect location for a visit to Nashville. Literally minutes from any activity from downtown partying to a visit to the Opry. The cottage was clean, beautifully decorated, (I even asked where to get the comforter!) and very cozy. Cynthia, the owner, was gracious and easy to get a hold of when needed. I would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to avoid a hotel and craving peace and quiet.

Quiet, clean and comfortble
Had a great 4 night stay in this adorable cottage. Well equipped kitchen and large fridge, which we appreciated since we did a lot of our meals at home. Covered porch was nice for coffee in the morning, especially when we had rain showers. Close to Shelby Park where we went every morning for a walk. Easy drive to Nissan stadium where we parked to go into downtown. Would stay here again.

Thank you Suzanne for your great review and also for choosing the cottage for your visit here in Nashville.
You are welcome anytime!
This was our second stay in Shelby Hills. Enjoy the quiet neighborhood. Close enough to downtown to get there quickly yet far enough to get away from it too. Shelby park is only a couple blocks away and is beautiful. Cottage is a small cozy place that is ideal for a couple. Thanks Cynthia for another enjoyable stay. We’ll be back again.

Thank you Todd for the steller review. I always appreciate great guests and if you pass this way again, you are always welcome!
Great location. Plenty to do in a short distance. It was a nice clean cottage. Appreciated having a house experience rather than a hotel. Price was competitive to area hotels. Perfect size for a couple, but because of the size, it is not a place to take a family. Only drawbacks were parking in an alley, when there is a spot inside the fence. Not enough towels provided for the whole stay, but we we’re asked to not wash them. And someone walked through yard to take trash out.
I booked this lovely cottage for a long weekend get a way to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The cottage was clean, kitchen stocked with supplies to cook with - even a carrot peeler (other rentals haven’t had this simple tool) and was a relaxing place to return after our daily activities. The nearby local restaurants were a pleasant surprise- Lockland Table, pizza place across from LT, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream and The Pharmacy. Loved walking in Shelby Park - it’s literally down the block. Book it- you’ll be glad you did.

Thank you Kim for the lovely review. Thank goodness I had the carrot peeler too! Haha

Within minutes from downtown. We enjoyed our stay in this little cottage. Nice new shower. Quiet. Private. It is tricky getting your car parked along fence line in alleyway.
There is a main house on this property fairly close. I wouldnt recommend anymore then 2 people in this unit as it is a small space with 3 basic rooms. But overall good.

Hi Natasha,
Thank you for your review. I'm happy to get so many compliments regarding my 1800's cottage which is original to the property. I just want to clarify for other potential guests, though I do have another space behind the cottage for larger vehicles when asked (ie: trucks) but I haven't had any problems.
Also, I am only set up for one or two guests with a full kitchen, washer and dryer, oh and free parking! LOL I have never in 11 years had more than 2 guests. It's been a cozy little "Home away from Home" and I'm happy to share it in one of the popular hoods in Nashville.
Thank you both for choosing my place and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
About the host
Hosted by Cynthia
Originally from the Pacific Northwest, I’ve traveled all over and know how important it is to feel at home when you’re away. I aim to provide a cozy, welcoming space where guests can relax and enjoy their time in Nashville. My cottage is your "home Away From Home!"
Why they chose this property
We chose this area because East Nashville is so central and easy to get around. It’s a quiet neighborhood just a block from over 800 acres of trails and wetlands. The Cumberland River is right over the hill, so you can enjoy peaceful nature walks along the river and through the park trails. Restaurants, bars, and local music venues are only minutes away, and downtown is a quick 5 minute drive for amazing live music—much of it free. With easy access to I-24 and the airport, a 15 minute drive, almost everything in Nashville is just 15 minutes away.
What makes this property unique
Nestled in a quiet, historic neighborhood once home to railroad workers, this charming cottage dates back to the 1800s. Just steps away, Shelby Bottoms Park spans over 800 acres of wetlands, scenic trails, a lake, and a nature center—ideal for walking, running, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Despite the peaceful surroundings, downtown Nashville is only minutes away, where you can experience the live music and vibrant energy that make the city such a beloved destination.
The cottage is a cozy retreat, offering a peaceful place to relax and recharge. It features a full kitchen, so you can prepare everything from a quick breakfast to a homemade dinner with ease. Step out onto the front porch overlooking the courtyard to start your morning with freshly brewed coffee or unwind in the evening with your favorite beverage, all while listening to the gentle sounds of songbirds. Whether you’re cooking, sipping coffee, or simply soaking in the calm, this cottage is the perfect home base for your Nashville getaway.
