The best of both worlds
About this house rental
Situated in Goodlettsville, this charming house for $139 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Come enjoy "The best of both worlds". After filling your day with the action of the city retreat to the fresh country air and serenity of this chalet style home, relax on the 1000 square foot deck and take in the best view in town! Sitting on a 63 acre private gated farm on the outskirts of Nashville in the town of Goodlettsville, home of the little league baseball champions of 2012. We are within walking distance of the largest antique district in Tennessee. Rivergate mall, grocery stores and every desired restaurant, historic landmark or shopping experience awaits you within a 5 mile radius. Named after my beloved black and white paint horse "Valentino" who lived to the ripe old age of 30 and reigned over these acres till early 2013. Newly remodeled "Valentino's retreat was once the "early days" home of the iconic Kris Kristofferson. It is loaded with all the comforts of home and some extras! The decor celebrates the spirit of Nashville with music business memorabilia that is from the owner Dana's personal collection. It is 13 miles from downtown Nashville. This is a peaceful place for a relaxing get away it is NOT A PARTY HOUSE.

This is a cute cottage setting. Dana was quick to respond to questions. The bed was very comfortable. We had difficulty maintaining the heat and the couch was not comfortable at all. Overall, it was a very nice stay. Great place to be if you want to be close to the city but away from the traffic.

Such a cute cottage nestled on a farm with rolling hills, Mozart the mini horse and Jill the donkey, both rescues, come to the fence for some rubs! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Very well stocked, comfortable furniture for tv watching and the bed as well. If don't want to be too far from Nashville, this is the place to stay!

Very nice and clean cottage with country views, but close to all amenities and activities. The miniature horse and donkey there are so sweet too! Communication was really great. Would definitely stay again!

Valentino's Retreat was the perfect spot for us. If you want a quiet, private, peaceful country setting that is close to downtown Nashville, this is the place. We loved it. Very comfortable, clean cottage that has everything you could need. Very comfy King bed. Loved the beautiful views all around. Easy to come and go. Loved that we could be in Nashville in 15 mins and enjoy all it has to offer but then come back to such a peaceful setting that feels a million miles away from all the congestion of Nashville. Saw wild turkeys and loved on the miniature donkey and horse, Mozart and Jill. Dana was very responsive but we never needed anything from her. Great place!

We had a nice stay here while visiting Nashville. It could use more gravel near the steps leading to the house. It rained both days during our stay, and the parking area turned muddy. I stopped by a spray wash car wash and cleaned off the car after leaving, but a little more gravel would solve the problem.

This little cottage is a nature lovers paradise. There were deer, turkey, racoons, and squirrels. A small piece of our day was spent with Mozart the minature horse and Jill the donkey. They enjoyed a snack each day, and were always eager to see us.
The location was convenient to everything. It seemed as if everywhere we wanted to go was within 25 minutes.
Dana was very quick to responde to any questions we had.
This place is highly recommended if travelling to the Nashville area.

Dana was the perfect host. She allowed us a peaceful and relaxed stay at her cottage. The cottage had all the amenities a person needs plus extras. If we decide to visit Nashville again we are definitely going to see if her cottage is available. Thanks Dana from Don and Janet

We loved the remoteness of the cottage but we were still close to town if we needed anything. 20 minutes from Nashville was perfect for us! Loved seeing the donkey, cows, and turkeys- made coming to Nashville feel a little like home.

This was an excellent getaway retreat for my wife and I. It was secluded, quiet, clean, and exactly what we needed. The back porch overlooking the tree line and meadow was beautiful. And meeting Jill and Mozart was the icing on the cake.

Dana is so responsive and the cottage sits in a gorgeous piece of green farmland. Mozart and Jill greeted us through the fence. A miniature horse and a friendly donkey. Easy access to Nashville. Go! You won’t be disappointed.

We had an amazing stay at this property. It was a great place to come back to after going to Nashville for the day or antiquing in the nearby town. The host was helpful and responsive with any questions we had. We also loved meeting Jill and Mozart (Donkey and Mini Horse). We would highly recommend and would stay here again if we are visiting the area.

Valentino retreat is in the country but was only 4 miles from our friends' hotel. The cottage was clean with a very comfortable king bed. They had everything you need in a home away from home. We saw deer every morning and opossum at night. We loved the furry neighbors (donkey and pony). I would stay here again, Owners answered questions very quickly.

This property is very clean and the owners have gone over and beyond by providing any anticipated convenience. The wrap around deck offers lots of seating and space for lovely views and outdoor dining. The walk in closet was an added bonus. I would suggest the addition of including in the property description on the website, disclosure of the several but very navigable steps from the parking area to the cottage and also installation of a grab bar at the ample sized tub. I look forward to my next opportunity to enjoy Valentino’s Retreat!

This was our second time staying here. It’s in such a great location and very relaxing. I loved having my morning coffee to the sound of birds! Dana gave us our privacy but was available if we needed her. You will not be disappointed when you stay here and you cannot beat the price…

This was a very nice find in a beautiful peaceful setting in nature. We feel we got an authentic Nashville experience with the story and history of the cottage. We also appreciated the ability to recycle during our stay. We had a great stay.

We drove the Natchez Trace on the way up. When we arrived, we were exhausted and chilled out on the couch! So very relaxing. Everything about the property was beautiful. We saw a few deer. Check in and out was a breeze. The decor was nice. It’s the perfect place to relax.

Great place to relax and unwind. When we did choose to explore the location, for us, was not to far away from Nashville, Franklin, etc. etc.

We enjoyed our stay here very much! It was homey, super clean, and a relaxing atmosphere. Check in and communication were excellent! Everything we needed was right there. The directions the owner gave was very helpful since GPS was a little off. We arrived at night and the lights were on for us when we arrived which made it even more inviting.

We had a great time at this property. It is far enough from the city that it is nice and quiet but close enough that it’s only 15-20 minutes to most places in the city. We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Nashville.
