Didn’t last 3 hours. My adult daughter had an allergic reaction to the boho dust collecting decor. No refund after calling or communicating on line.

I got what seemed like a great price (which I needed while my husband is having specialist care at Vanderbilt); but the cleaning cost is far above the level of cleanliness. Once I did some cleaning of my own I felt more comfortable. Upholstery needs a good steam cleaning.

Cute place in a convenient location. Instructions for stay did not tell you how to use the door lock but did tell you the frig doesnt really cool. Murphy bed was more comfortable than you imagine but the host didnt bother making the bed befoe we arrived after we had to wait till 4pm to check in.

We were very inspired by the outdoor patio, having breakfast and coffee there each morning. Walked the neighborhood- so lovely and quiet.

I only stayed one of the two nights booked due to concerns with cleanliness. I spent the entire evening of my arrival, after driving all day, trying to get Vacasa to deliver clean bedding. Finally knocked on owner’s door and he came to wash a fitted sheet and blanket. Do not expect the bedding listed in pictures. I attempted to wash the items above, but the washing machine in the unit was covered in mold. The owner delivered the mentioned few bedding items above after 11:30 PM at night. I would have left upon arrival after realizing no one was managing the property except I have a large dog so I needed to find other arrangements. I have been requesting a refund of my booking since I arrived. I continue to be told by Vacasa that clean linens were available, but no one will return my call from the local office (they e-mail). I have also called VRBO for a refund of my stay, but they leave it up to Vacasa (property manager) to decide. Even the owner told me he was sending e-mails to them and the cleaner. I don’t believe a property manager should be in charge of a VRBO listing. It has been a huge headache for me to deal with this third party. I would not rent a listing in the future if this is the setup as likely you will not get help. The listing resembles the pictures, but is dated and in need of a deep clean (it smells inside). I am confused by the five star ratings, but realized people likely are rating the fun stay they had in Nashville.

Clean house and had clean linens, etc. Nice little private yard to sit in and hang out with the pup too

The Little House in Nashville is small and charming, but Vacasa is just the opposite by being large and impersonal. The other reviews of the house are on target. The house is quirky and the location is very convenient and quiet with space to sit outside.
Vacasa- Realize they are a large management company. The phone number you are given will get you to a national representative. Even though the cleaning had been completed before 1PM, we could not get in to the property even a minute early because of the rigid policy of Vacasa. We had been traveling since 2:30 AM and the temperature in Nashville was in the 90s. We were hot and exhausted and hoping to rest. They have a right to be rigid about their policy, but they should realize that their actions will impact how customers view their company. In addition, instead of a security deposit, they require a damage waiver fee of $75. I guess they just assume you will break something. We did not break anything. We will not be using Vacasa again.

The directions were misleading. The driveway is around the corner on a different street which was not clear in the directions. The lights were off as we arrived after midnight.

Great place to see Nashville. We have dogs and the neighborhood is a wonderful place to walk them. The yard is a great place to sit and relax.

Loved the privacy, private large garden and the place had everything that we needed for four days stay! We hated leaving! So close to everywhere you’d want to go also.

4.0
The stay was great, the house is cozy and clearly well insulated so the temp is easy. The main pullout was comfy. The ryoku tv was a nice touch. A good deal of amenities.
Some minor details for the owners mainly, microwave wasn’t clean when we got there. Seems like they just missed a spot.
I suggest looking at the grout in the shower and getting a silicon bath mat since the one they had really held onto water. Had to put a towel down in its place. The audio system could use an update in accessibility and instructions, some of the cords I think were damaged or went old.
I would get the electric checked since when I turned on a light it would flicker a bit and I would have to flip it again for it to be normal.
Over all a great stay.

We loved the artistic touches, especially the light switch art that helped to identify what each switch controls. The bed was comfy and the climate control kept the temp perfect during the September heat wave we stayed through. The location was top notch and we felt close to everything we wanted to do. The only things that kept me from a five start review was how well appointed it was. They did provide shampoo and conditioner, which was greatly appreciated since we forgot ours, but there was zero silverware in the rental even though there were plates, cups, and bowls. Seemed like a strange oversight. There was also no laundry soap even though there was a washer and dryer. We ended up buying some and leaving it for the next guests. Maybe they’ve had issues with theft of some items, but there wasn’t even a drawer that looked like it was supposed to have silverware in it. All in all, it was a great experience and we’d definitely stay again, but we’d have to plan on bringing some things to make it an even better experience.

This was an adequate establishment. However, it is very old and the Murphy bed was not comfortable. Converted Garst. Concrete floors, etc.

I really, really wanted to love this place. We booked because the location was excellent and online the eclectic decor looked so fun and unique, but unfortunately the state of the rental upon our arrival really turned us off to the place. My daughter accidentally dropped her pillow when we walked in the door and when she picked it up it was covered in white pet hair. There was also a large clump of white pet hair under the kitchen table so I don’t think the unit was swept beforehand. There also weren’t any trash bags in the trash cans when we arrived. Other rentals we’ve used have always at least provided a starter trash bag. When we went to make the bed I found the sheets in a closet, not folded but in a big tangled ball. When I pulled them out I discovered they were still damp so we had to put them in the dryer and wait for them to finish before we could go to bed. We were looking to arrive and immediately start a relaxing weekend but instead we found ourselves taking care of things that should have already been taken care of. Unfortunately we will not be returning.

The house was nice and close to a lot of great places. We had a group of 4 adults and the bed was good, but the couch is definitely not for sleeping on, very hard and uncomfortable. We’ve stayed at a lot of Vrbos, and tend to leave a lot behind for the next guest to use (coffee, condiments etc) we came to 100% nothing. So it’s better to be prepared before arriving. The outside area was a great little space! Loved it, just felt a better bed and coffee would have been nice to have

This was one of my favorite trips to Nashville! The location is great! Only minutes away from just about anywhere you want to visit in the city! The little house is also very cute! The neighborhood is nice and safe! 10/10 would recommend!

Overall the stay was Satisfying,
Great neighborhood, it was quiet and peaceful. We mainly slept there as we were exploring Nashville and all its surrounding cities. I do want to give a shout out to Jean-Carlo, He went above and beyond in assistance over the phone, with the barroom door (be aware is a sliding door lol)
The only cons I will say is they don’t have utensils, or basic cooking spices. We only cooked breakfast 1 morning. So it was not a big deal, but if you are planning on cooking more make sure to take note of that.
I will totally recommend this cute place and stay there again.
Also please be aware that this property is manage by a third Party called VACASA
Thank you.

An artistic blend of a beatnik coffee shop & an in-the-city campsite, this rental met all our apprehensive anticipations.
The pictures show no beds & there are no beds, but the cushions & mountain of pillows can be shaped into twin beds across the apartment from each other. The kitchen is well furnished, but close the fridge door twice to be sure. The yard was ideal for us with a well-fenced yard and comfortable furniture under plenty of shade.

Quiet quaint cottage in a great historical neighborhood. Across the street from a park and close enough to Nashville…I would stay again and highly recommend this place to others.

We loved the little cottage. Beautifully thought out design and functionality. Close to absolutely everything. I wrote a bunch of songs this weekend, so it worked perfectly as a writer’s retreat. Thank you!!!

My husband, 6 year old, 4 year old and myself were all very comfortable in Little House! It had everything we needed and was a very well thought out floor plan. The location was great, too. We were close to everything we wanted to see. Would recommend to others and would stay there again if we're ever back in Nashville!

There are pros and cons to this rental.
Just be aware what you are looking for.
Pros- cute neighborhood, beautiful patio, very easy with a dog, well stocked with toilet paper,pillows, bathroom accessories.
Cons-this is not a one bedroom- it’s more like a studio.decorated very rustic, couches seemed old, floors are cement, bed is small, other beds seemed more like a couch, very dark- not much natural light. Windows are covered with sheet like hangings. This place was formerly a servants quarter, and has awards all around that they preserved it as it would be 50 years ago. So if that is your thing- this place is for you.
All in all- okay but we will not rent again as we travel to Nashville frequently.
