Elvis Presley Designed And Financed This Home For His Doctor
About this house rental
Nestled in Germantown, this attractive house for £616 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Elvis Presley designed and financed this home for his doctor. Located in an upscale East Memphis neighborhood, it has been restored and furnished to its 1970's charm. It has an upstairs suite built for Elvis (he never stayed there) but he would play racquetball late in evening with Dr Nick and his son Dean. It is the perfect place for a large group traveling to Memphis or that Elvis fan visiting Memphis. The feeling is all retro just the way it was in the 70's plus a few modern upgrades like 8 flat screen tv's and new appliances. It is very spacious with a huge den downstairs, banana plant solarium, living room with wet bar plus bonus "game" room overlooking the racquetball court including a shuffleboard table. One master has adjoining library another master has a pool view and access. The upstairs master was Elvis's suite. All other bedrooms have Smart TV's and shared bathroom access. (NOTE: the upstairs has 3 bedrooms and access to only 1 bathroom, an additional full bathroom is located in the game room for those staying upstairs to use)

We loved our stay at this property! Our daughter was married at the The Dixon Gallery and Gardens which was close to the house. The bridesmaids got ready here before the wedding and it was such a unique and fun setting! The bar served endless mimosas and the large kitchen space was able to display a delicious breakfast buffet. The little ones (and really all of the adults, too) had so much fun on the racquetball court and playing the Elvis pinball machine. Everyone enjoyed the pool and the outdoor area, as well. Can’t say enough good things about this property! Would definitely stay again! Oh! Ask about the Rolls in the garage!

We gathered for a weekend as a family to celebrate a Birthday. This property was perfection in every way! Inside it is spacious with a retro vibe and the outdoor area and pool were put to good use in the Memphis heat. The kitchen and bedrooms are good sized and are well equipped.. I would highly recommend this property.

We enjoyed the uniqueness of the house. The decor brought back memories of the 70’s. Knowing that Elvis was here was special. Although the house does need some updating, but not destroying the integrity of the original house, we thoroughly enjoyed our week here. Thank you for preserving the past.

The house is fantastic for entertaining and a large family group. It is fully stocked with everything need including sun tan lotion. Great pool and lots of room. The house needs a little TLC but i would stay there again and recommend it.

We loved this place! Our group of eight lifelong friends thoroughly enjoyed our 7 night stay in this exceptionally clean rental. It had everything we wanted including 5 bedrooms with their own bathrooms and a pool. In addition, a Kuerig and a coffee pot, beach towels and an abundance of glassware, dinnerware, knives, silverware and serving trays were provided. We enjoyed playing the Elvis pinball machine and the shuffleboard table. We spent much of our time in the beautiful pool area. It is surrounded by tall trees making it very secluded. We were delighted with the variety of bright, colorful birds. The owners did a great job in mixing the old with the new, keeping some period-appropriate while updating when necessary to ensure the comfort of their guests. Jim and Dallas exuded southern hospitality. They were warm and friendly and responded promptly to my queries but respected our privacy for the length of our stay.

Our family loved the house! It was a great place to stay for our quick Graceland trip with our group. The racquetball, Elvis pinball machine, Pac Man and pool were huge hits and we didn't even have any kids in the group! Very easy process for booking and check in and out was nice too. It was a blast!

This was our 12th destination race as we had 11 runners race the St. Jude half marathon. It is so much fun to stay together in a house compared to separate hotel rooms. We need to come back in the summer time and enjoy the pool area, it looked like a great place to hang out after a run.

My family had so much fun at this bit of Memphis and Elvis culture! The house is older but the large space, racquet ball court, pool and neighborhood makes you overlook the age! Maggie greeted us there at check in and was such a delight! Mr. Walker soon came over to assist us with the tv, all had cable and steaming! It’s a perfect house for a family get together! Our kids want us to mention the bathroom heated floors rock! Our family of 7 enjoyed the whole Labor Day weekend stay!

12 of our family and very close friends met in Memphis and enjoyed the house immensely! The weather was great and we spent a lot of time at the pool; however, if we had had rain, there would have been room for us all to play games and visit together. Dallas, our host, was very attentive and offered ideas to do around Memphis. She also told us interesting stories that involved the history of the house. Thank you for sharing such a unique property!

Amazing property
This house has absolutely everything you might need. Beautiful neighborhood. My entire family was very impressed. The pool temperature was perfect and the racquetball court were the best of our vacation. Definitely coming back!

This house offers you the unique chance to live as Elvis might have in 1976. The furniture (low sofas , chairs on wheels and chairs shaped like hands), oversized lamps, blue porcelain sinks and sun burst clocks are all from the 70s. We found the best part of the house to be the backyard pool area. The backyard is strung with white lights and features a lot of different seating options for a large group. The kitchen was well stocked with glasses, plates and platters- retail stores have fewer options than we had at this house! Unfortunately the pinball machine was broken and the shuffleboard game was uneven- making it unplayable for our visit. The racquetball court was a fun diversion though. One bathroom did have a hole in the shower where old shower head used to be as well as some mold on the floor, but rest of the house was pretty clean. Neighborhood is lovely and house is pretty close to most attractions.

We stayed at the property for a weekend family event and the house was amazing! The history of the house makes it even more special and that it has been so well maintained and preserved. The host was very communicative and responsive. I highly recommend this property for any group visiting Memphis!

Wedding celebration
For all Elvis fans, this is a “must stay” rental. Full of nostalgia, room to stretch out, racket ball for younger adults. Super comfortable for a group. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Awesome home!!!
The house is huge. Its fantastic. It was even better than advertised. So much history in that home. Elvis built the home and had his own bedroom there, even though he never stayed it in, it was super cool. We played racquetball on the same court that Elvis played on. I could go on and on about this property. The owners were fantastic. There was a tour upon check-in and then the house house was ours. I think the Elvis pinball machine was my favorite. But hey, I'm a guy! Love this property and would definitely stay there again. Thank you Jim & Dallas.

Luxurious Nostalgia!
We loved this property and the experience. The group was impressed by the space and amenities. We were even rained in for the weekend and had plenty of room to gather, reminisce, relax, cook great food, and enjoy the architecture and space. The racquet ball, pinball machine and game room were a hit! The entire check in and out process was easy peasy. The area is lovely, safe, and centrally located to plenty of restaurants, shopping, and activities. We would do it again!

Transported back to the 70's
Great property and Jim was a fantastic host! We gathered as extended family to celebrate mom's 80th birthday. This was the perfect fit for our Elvis-themed celebration. Nice to have so much common space throughout the house to gather, play games, talk and enjoy the weekend. Great location as well.

Host and property perfect otherwise!

Memphis for the holidays
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Memphis with my older but spry parents, our four adult kids and their plus ones. Jim welcomed us upon our arrival and shared the history of the house, how he acquired it, and his wife's successful efforts to decorate it as it would have been when it was built. The house was the perfect size and the kitchen was stocked with enough plates and glasses so we could eat in when we wanted. The ice maker was a huge hit too - we never ran out of ice! The house was decorated for the holidays which made it even more special. All attractions and activities are about a 20-minute car ride away which was very convenient.
The house is a fun 1970s trip down memory lane with the furnishings and the architecture. Have fun!

Spacious, funky and fun
Working with owner and his rep was easy. I had to change my dates early on and it was no problem to accommodate the new dates with my 5 siblings coming from all over the country for our early Thanksgiving get-together. The house was well stocked, had nice amenities (projector web streaming onto huge living room wall, heated bathroom floor tiles, crushed ice machine in the bar, screaming WiFi) and we used the racquetball court more than I had anticipated. The furnishings, Elvis connection and 70’s look made this location very special for my out of town guests.

...and I'm not even a huge Elvis fan! Great swimming pool, the house is very spacious - plenty of room to spread out. Retro kitchen was fun to explore and (sort of) playing racquetball where Elvis did was a blast. Especially if you're an Elvis fan you will want to stay here!

Fabulous house, great location, everything exactly as described and equipped with everything you need!
We had family from California, Washington, DC, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts and the house was perfect for our family gathering for a wedding.
Jim was great to work and even stayed to give us some history of the house.
Thank you for sharing this historic home.
