GREAT LOCATION IN GERMANTOWN

Comfortable cottage in a great location in Germantown. Easy to walk to multiple restaurants/coffee shops. Nice little porch to sit out on. It would be nice to have a table and chairs out back to sit on too. I only gave a 3 star for cleanliness because the ceiling fans are caked with dust and under the dressers/beds/sofa was not clean. The welcome snack basket was a nice touch. Overall we enjoyed our stay there.

Comfortable little house in the wonderful neighborhood

We loved this little house in Germantown. It’s an older house but we had everything we need, good pressure in the shower, clean and comfortable beds, kitchen with enough of utensils and appliances for light cooking. The neighborhood is perfect- very close to everything, very safe and quiet. Plenty of little coffee shops and breakfast places within walking distance. Few towel hooks in the bathroom would make this house even more pleasant.

Overall it was great. The house is cute. It needs some work. The bathroom is old and dirty. The owners were prompt when we couldn’t get in the front door. They also were very accommodating letting us check out late.

Comfy little cottage

Beds are super comfortable. Location is close to everything. Off street parking is nice but a little tricky to find in the dark. We didn’t get in unto 11pm and we circled the block several times to find the alley parking lot. It would be awesome if there was a sign that labeled the parking lot Germantown cottages. The bathroom door handle does stick from time to time and the bathroom shower handles could use some improvements.other than those minor things everything worked well. The owners are very transparent that this is an older home. Several reviews claimed it needed a deep cleaning. The only dirt we found was the dust on the baseboards and cobwebs in the corners. Everything else was clean. I highly recommend staying here. The price is reasonable , location is great and the beds are really comfortable. The hosts communicate well. Also Go to the centennial cafe for an awesome Down to earth country breakfast.

24th bday for Daughter first time Nashville visitors

We loved our stay in Nashville and fell in love with the home, neighborhood and Nashville. Loved seeing so many people walking the neighborhood, home was quiet and so close to downtown. We rented a car so we could explore on our own around Nashville but Ubered downtown as well.Home had everything we needed and was cozy for our downtime - we can't wait to go back. thanks for letting us stay in your quaint home it was perfect for my family of 3. :)

Excellent location in Germantown. House was clean and check in with smooth with very responsive owner. It is small and would be cramped for two couples. Bathroom fixtures and door knobs could use updating. Overall had a great stay. Provision of coffee and other amenities were a nice touch

Fantastic location, would overall recommend

Can't say enough about how close to town everything is which is great. Has 4 beds which is helpful. I wish the owner would warn you ahead of time about certain run down parts of the home. The door handles are very very old and do not close well or really at all. We were too afraid to close doors since the handles were so loose. Outdoor light needs fixing as it is more of a strobe than a light. House was cute and the porch swing was nice. If you stay here just take photos on arrival to always protect yourself.

Lovely little place

This was exactly as we'd expected - a cute little cottage, very nicely presented, and just a short drive from downtown Nashville. We had busy days downtown and quiet evenings back at our Germantown base, usually with a glass of something while sitting on the porch.
