Fabulous house!

The Chester is an incredible property. The location is fantastic; practically on Vanderbilt's campus! The house has tons of room (3 queen bedrooms, plus a huge bedroom on the third floor with 2 queens and 2 twins), all of the amenities you could want, and it is just as charming as can be. We were a family of 9, and we had plenty of room for everyone. The hosts are fantastic as well. I hope we can stay here again!

Just Right for a Reunion!

This was a reunion of 5 friends who met 45 years ago at Vandy. The Chester was a great location for us as we walked around campus, drove downtown and drove to Franklin. Easy parking on site and easy access to the interstate. Home was a perfect size for our needs.

Perfect place for a writing retreat

My writer-friends and I had a wonderful stay at The Chester. Firstly, it is a BEAUTIFUL house. It was the perfect amount of space and comfort for 7 of us to spread out, get creative and connect with each other. And we loved walking to the nearby music spots and restaurants for evenings out. Communicating with Susan was easy and check-in and out were a breeze. I would highly recommend.

Amazing!

This house is beautifully renovated, clean, well-appointed, and in an amazing location that is relatively quiet yet close to dining, Music Row, and Vanderbilt. It was the perfect location for our college friends’ girls trip. We all loved it! The only thing that would make it better would be pool access! Susan, the hostess, is kind and accessible and check-in/check- out instructions were timely and clear. Well done!

Great Location, Very nice house

The house is just as it appears in the photos and description. Perfect for our group of 5 people all wanting their own large beds. We found it to be a perfect location. Quiet neighborhood, but very close to downtown and the other more interesting music listening venues like Listening Room and 3rd and Lindsley. Because it's an older house, the floors and stairs are a bit squeaky. Can't go wrong with this rental. Great communication too.

Spacious and clean home

Our group of 5 older adults enjoyed this spacious home for our first time in Nashville. We had enough room to enjoy conversation in the living room and do jigsaw puzzles in the dining room. The home was exceptionally clean in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed walking to the Vanderbilt campus as well as to the Honky Tonk bars on Broadway!
