This property is bare bones. No soap in the showers; soap containers next to sinks were nearly empty; NO condiments in kitchen (NONE); some coffee. Beds were comfortable. Bath towels were adequate. Soap door on dishwasher would not close. NO mirrors in bedrooms.. In my opinion, over priced. Would not stay here again.

Our trip was lovely and staying in this home make it even better. The inside was clean, well kept and stocked with items that are thoughtful to a travelers needs. The house is laid out well. The beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet. There was plenty of parking and the outdoor sitting area was perfect for those who wanted to enjoy the outdoors. My elderly parents were able to get in and out of the house easily and enjoyed the bedroom with the bath. We would definately rent here again if visiting the area.

High Marks for Location

This place gets high marks for being so conveniently located within close proximity of everything you will need. Others have noted, and it was also our experience, that the property could use some updating. As a specific example, the en suite bathroom shower is very small. In the other bathroom, wallpaper is falling off the wall. The property was clean but needs some maintenance.

Great home very near campus

Our family of 9 adults with a small dog had a great stay here. This is a very old home that has been renovated with an updated kitchen and additional bedroom. The home says it sleeps 9 (and we knew this) but one person will have to sleep on the couch. There are 4 beds. The only negative was there are no extra linens for the couch to be slept on. The air condition quit on us one night but the owner/property manager responded very quickly and had a worker out within 3 hours to repair it. This was a perfect home for us all to stay together to celebrate our son’s wedding. The long driveway even accommodated 5 cars at one point.

Home Away From Home

If you're looking for a cozy home in a quiet area, look no further. There are some restaurants and stores around, and the city and nightlife is not too far of a drive. Book this home for your family and enjoy some quality time on your next vacation!!

Cottage very dated

We booked this for our son’s baseball tournament and our spring break vacation. We arrived to a mildew smell, dirty kitchen, moldy coffee pot, broken bed, and stained sheets. We reached out to the owners and they were very responsive sending over their handyman and cleaning crew within an hour. While there was improvement with fresh sheets, cleaned kitchen and repaired bed, the smell never went away. The fourth bedroom is actually a converted garage with no insulation thereby being very sensitive to the weather as well as noise. This ‘cottage’ is an old house with a lot of work needing to be done - specifically in the bathrooms and kitchen - to justify its cost. We really were so appreciative of the fast response of the owners and we did sleep well. We enjoyed the walk to downtown Murfreesboro as well as MTSU.

Cute house in Murfreesboro!

Centrally located near dining and shopping. House was very nicely decorated and plenty of space for our family of four. Owner was easy to communicate with. Some minor things we would change but overall we would stay here again if in the area. Be sure to check out Slick Pig BBQ near MTSU!
