My wife and I totally enjoyed our stay in this fantastic house. Everything needed for our short stay was found in this place including coffee, snacks, books, games, soaps, shampoo, etc., etc. Small touches like the Jenga block for guests to leave notes on to the small keepsake that guests are encouraged to take home with them made us feel welcome during our stay. The location was very convenient for venturing out and exploring on road trips around Nashville.

My wife and I, along with our dog, enjoyed our stay. Everything was as advertised. The neighborhood is under some revitalization and we learned of its history from the locals. The local market and coffee shop were nice and the locals were helpful. Eating at Sam’s at their marina is a must. No issues with our Host, checked on us just to make sure we had no additional needs.

This was the perfect home away from home. The host was very welcoming and friendly. The house was cute and cozy and had everything we needed. There were so many little extra things sitting around to enjoy, like books and games, and a Jenga guest book! There were even treats for your dog, and cat treats to give to the neighbor’s kitty when she visits! The bed was very comfortable, so were the pillows, and I’m usually a pillow snob! The neighborhood was nice and quiet and there’s a great little coffee shop right down the road with a cool vibe. We would definitely consider staying here again the next time we come down! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

This is the best VRBO we have stayed in! Chris is a great host; good communication and recommendations. The house has everything you could need (or didn't even realize you would want)- there are even cat treats in the cupboard so you can feed Stevie Nicks the neighborhood cat that might stop by! It was very clean, the bathtub was a dream, and the fenced in yard is great for your canine friends. Reasonable driving distance into the city, and we never had problems with traffic. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Nashville!

We chose this location because it was pet friendly with a fenced yard. We were with my mother in law who is 88 and we needed a shower that was easy for her access. The home was very quiet and comfortable.We went to Sams grill the first night we were there. It was only 5 minutes away and the food was good, so was the atmosphere. Chris had told us about it prior to our arrival.If I had any complaint it was the bed pillows were too fat, I usually bring my own pillow for that reason and I had forgotten, but I wouldnt change my review because of it.Thank you Chris for everything!

Chris was a wonderful host! The home was spotless, and many small thoughtful amenities were included. We enjoyed the visits from Stevie Nicks, and apparently she was not in the mood for the fish treats so recommend starting with the non-fish bag first! Even though it was chilly out, I took time to enjoy the lovely deck. In spring and summer with the trees fully leafed out, it must be quite private and lovely! The beds were comfortable, and the water pressure was amazing (it's the little things, ha!)! The soaking tub was wonderful and Chris even had bath salts available which was so so appreciated. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything necessary, and I was particularly fond of the throw blankets to get cozy on a stretch of cloudy cold days in Nashville. The house is laid out nicely and just feels very comfortable and safe to be in. It's an easy drive to the airport, even in traffic time, and nearby 5 Agaves is the perfect Mexican spot!! Flour Your Dreams and Sisters bakeries are nearby, and Dose had AMAZING drinks and sandwiches! We didn't get to sample their pastries, we slept too late and they sold out fast! Thank you Chris for a great stay!

The home is adorable with off the street parking.Like most of the rentals check-in was a breeze with the touch pad entry.Great location to Nashvilleand all surrounding areas. There is Close a wonderful market/deli and coffee house within walking distance.We did have to communicate with the owner and she was very quick to respond.The only reason we didn't give her 5 stars is - the house had a cat urine smell. Our allergies were off the chart. Side note: We've stayed at other home rentals that have an approved animal policy with no problems. We thought this would fine. We reached out to the owner and told her of the problem. To help solve the problem we did purchase Pooph (Pooph is a fragrance-free eco-friendly, and safe to use around people, pets, and plants on surfaces like carpets, upholstery, and hard floors. It's an odor eliminator that claims to dismantle odors at a molecular level.) which helped some. She had offered to reimburse us for the cost, we didn't think it was necessary.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Aven

Host profile image
I was raised in the Midwest, seasoned in the South, grew a family out west and returned to the South. Our family is a music and arts blend. I love curating a cozy and creative space, which hopefully provides a place for rest along with dashes of whimsy.

Why they chose this property

Old Hickory is a great hidden gem just on the north side of Nashville. In less than a mile, there is a beautiful walk along the road on the ridge by the lake. We’re very lucky to have a great cafe, a pizza pub, a local market all just a couple blocks from the house.

What makes this property unique

This sweet almost 100 year old home was built as a six room bungalow for DuPont factory workers. It has a fenced in back yard, front porch, back deck, and a sizable spa-throom. Close enough to Nashville, but far enough to enjoy some peace.
