Play Pool at a Sleek Home in 12th South!
Fabulous! Most important~ 1. Location, location, location~One minute walk to 12S, but still quiet and calm! 2. Parking~ you have a long private driveway-street parking and even paid parking fill up extremely fast, even on a weekday in the rain! With these attributes, you may expect to have to settle for a less than ideal space. Absolutely NOT the case here. Reminiscent of AirBnB at their high point. Incredible space, design and function! Extremely kind and knowledgeable owners who live nearby and are involved in restoration and preservation of the homes in the neighborhood. Adorable, well planed, spacious home with 2 large bedrooms each with an en-suite bath. Info book is just great and helpful. Owners are responsive about more in depth questions. New restaurant, Fonda Mexican, is one block away and incredible. Try the taco platter-we split it between 3 people which was perfect. Will definitely return when back in Nashville! Thank you!

Nashville Escape by Geodis Park close to Downtown!
Alyssa’s place was the perfect home for my family and I over the holidays. Great location - quiet, safe neighborhood but very convenient for restaurants, groceries and getting into downtown. The house was squeaky clean, spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed. Alyssa was super responsive in the lead up too. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Downtown Dream - Extra Bedding - Mins To Broadway
Setup of the house is great with separation of sleep space on bottom and top floors, with middle floor as the common spaces. Location was good proximity to restaurants, grocery stores, and an easy drive downtown. We were missing kitchen towels and host had some delivered to us right away. Much appreciated. There isn't as much in the kitchen (salt and pepper only for spices, one spatula, one mixing spoon, etc...) would recommend providing some spices and a few more of the eating utensils and cooking utensils for those that want to cook. Coffee maker is great, plenty of plates and glasses. One note, which is not any fault of the property or owners--if you are a sensitive sleeper, there can be a lot of emergency vehicle noise at night due to the location of the property. Some nights we heard none, some nights 4-5 different times throughout the night and the house doesn't really block out the noise. Great place. Would stay again!

Must See Home. Walk E Nashville. Six Minutes to Downtown.
The house was perfect-great location and large enough for the 4 of us. Jaison got back to us right away if we had any questions. Super easy to find and check in to. Again, the location was perfect for quick uber rides to Broadway and many other places!!

GREAT FOE LARGE GROUPS SLEEPS 12 Close to DOWNTOWN
My family had such a wonderful time at Nina's house. The home is absolutely beautiful and spacious, and the location is perfect. Nina and Lynn were fantastic hosts and very quick to respond. We would absolutely stay there again!

*Large Home(s) near Broadway*Nashville's Finest*
We had a great time. There was plenty of space for all of our guests and everything was close to us. 10/10 would recommend!!

Taylor Haus III: Germantown Rooftop Retreat
Was perfect spot for three of us couples to spend the weekend! Would recommend!

Victorian W. Nashville apartment. great location!
This is a great area and Nick is a top notch host! I was in town for a music work trip and this was a great situation. Great food nearby and easy access to downtown without having to be in the middle of bachelorette party madness when you want to escape it. Lol!
Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Downtown, Nashville

Pet-friendly, colorful bungalow in the Nations
We were so grateful to have stayed in such a wonderful home. The plants! So many, so lush. The art added to the plant-filled beauty, as well as the beautiful, quality furniture, blankets, and creature comforts. Plus the outside options are next level! So much outdoor space AND outdoor seating. Great space, great home. Thank you.

Casa Rover | Pet Friendly w/ Fenced-in Yard
We had a great time in Nashville. Danny’s place was exactly as described in the listing. Convenient to shopping, groceries and restaurants. Just a quick Uber ride to downtown and all the fun on Broadway. Our two dogs loved the fenced in yard to freely run and play. Showers were awesome and beds comfy.

Walk your dog to 5 Points; 3 mins drive downtown!
Perfect place to stay for the two of us and our two dogs! Fran was a wonderful host and the location was ideal. We were able to walk for coffee and breakfast and there was a dog park only 5 minutes away. Downtown was a short drive. Loved it really.

East Nashville studio 10 minutes to downtown
we only stayed for a night, but I can see that the neighborhood has a few new buildings, great coffee shop and workout studio. Would definitely stay here again!

The Classic Den - pet friendly - near downtown!
This is a great location, close to Broadway, but far enough away to be quiet. The host was very responsive and the space was comfortable!

❤️MANDOLIN COTTAGE❤️Downtown in 10 minutes ❤️
We booked Mandolin Cottage last minute and our expectations were far exceeded! We traveled with our dog to Nashville to visit our daughters, son-in-law, and grandsons for 9 days. The house and neighborhood felt very safe. We were amazed that just half a block away was an amazing park/greenway/golf course we had visited before. It was absolutely beautiful and so enjoyable to walk around. The neighborhood itself is picturesque! Several restaurants were also walkable. The house and beds were so comfortable and no detail was missed! The master bath was amazing! We had everything and more we needed for our stay. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking! The back porch also provided a delightful setting. Ed & Elizabeth were so kind and responsive. We couldn't have been more pleased! We hope to find it available for our next visit! Thank you Ed & Elizabeth!

Shelby House-Time for a Good Time
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The neighborhood and area is very nice and friendly, and the location makes it easy to get to all parts of Nashville. The house is cute and cozy, and matches pictures and description well. The back yard is huge and fantastic if traveling with pets.

Southern Charm on the East Side! Pets are welcome
Christie’s home was a total gem! We were traveling through town with our pets, and the space was exactly what we needed: warm, cozy, super duper pet friendly (massive fenced in back yard!). The house is in a quiet residential area, but still super central to East Nashville spots and downtown. Christie was very kind, helpful and responsive. I would definitely return!

Family Home Downtown Nashville
This home met our needs perfectly! The home was well appointed and comfortable, and was located within a short Uber ride from great bars and restaurants. Would love to stay again in warmer weather to enjoy the backyard and all of its amenities!

Between Flatt & Scruggs
Anytime I’m in Nashville. THIS IS THE HOUSE. Always love it. Thanks for having us!

Nashville Home w/Parking & Yard Walkable to Geodis
Would highly recommend, only 2 points to consider before booking, which are also clearly visible from the posting, so nothing is obscured: there is no real living room area for chilling in the unit, in addition to no kitchen. Also you are upstairs from the host, separated from a sliding wall at the bottom of the steps, so you’ll want to avoid making excess noise. Like I said though, it’s a great place, would certainly recommend, especially for a soccer game!

Piomingo - Minutes from Downtown, Eclectic Design
We spent my 30th birthday here and the whole family loved it! Rose was very welcoming and responded to any questions we had promptly. There was plenty of space for our family of 7 and the space was so much fun to be in. We will definitely be staying here again for future family get togethers! Highly, highly recommend.

Walkable Bungalow Near Vandy/Parking for 2
Perfect Nashville Airbnb. Great location, great home. Gated yard easy for taking pet out. I don’t stay in Airbnb’s often, but was very impressed with this home. Would recommend to anyone, and stay again.

Feb. Discount! HotTub, Fire Pit, Arcade
The hot tub was definitely a plus! I enjoyed the arcade games, new high for Galaga! The beds were very cozy and everyone had their own bathroom. The house is very comfortable and relaxing. Plenty of space to socialize and then to have your privacy.

Vintage 1920s Craftsman in East Nashville
Great house. Spacious and comfortable. Fully stocked, just bring your clothes. This house had so much more than we needed. The beds were clean and very comfortable. The bathrooms are well stocked and clean. There’s even a bed for my dog. The back yard was private and spacious. The location of the house is ideal. Close to great restaurants and groceries and a short drive to downtown but tucked back enough to be quiet and peaceful. The neighborhood felt very safe. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit Nashville. Thank you Julia for providing a memorable stay.

Modern, Pet-Friendly Home, Near Downtown Nashville

Your guide to Downtown, Nashville
Welcome to Downtown Nashville
For decades, Downtown Nashville has revolved around the lively Honky Tonks, the name bestowed upon the bars and live music venues that pump tunes out into the streets nearly 24/7. Known locally as Lower Broad, or sometimes Honky Tonk Row, the section of Broadway that stretches between 5th Avenue North and the riverfront is the beating heart of the city’s entertainment scene. But even if burning the midnight oil isn’t your thing, Downtown Nashville has plenty more to offer, such as historic Printers Alley — once home to the city’s thriving newspaper and publishing industry — or the galleries of Fifth Avenue of the Arts, which is where many of the famed sit-ins took place during the Civil Rights Movement. The Witness Walls nearby also pay tribute to that period in Nashville’s history. In addition to housing the state Capitol, Downtown Nashville is home to long-time establishments like the Tennessee Performing Arts Center and the city’s main baseball stadium, which also hosts many special events.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Downtown, Nashville
Crowds in Downtown Nashville are at their peak in the summer months, particularly every June, when for four days the CMA Music Fest takes over with stages and free concerts throughout downtown. April is beautiful in the city, when the weather is balmy and spring flowers are in bloom. Spring also brings with it a few major events like the annual St. Jude Rock ’n’ Roll Nashville marathon and half-marathon. If you want to slide in between the busy season and the heat of summer, plan your trip for October, when the hottest weather has subsided. Fall is equally desirable and has a few fun events of its own, including the wildly popular Nashville Oktoberfest in Germantown.
Top things to do in Downtown, Nashville
Country Music Hall of Fame
Even the lukewarm country music fan will be impressed by this expansive museum that anchors the downtown scene. The Country Music Hall of Fame pays homage to some of the greats of the early years of country music while rotating in exhibits, costumes, and tour memorabilia from new, up-and-coming artists. Be sure to check out the storied letterpress operation, Hatch Show Print, that’s been around since 1879 and produces its iconic show posters out of the ground level of the Hall of Fame building.
The National Museum of African American Music
This new 56,000-square-foot museum in Downtown Nashville highlights the many genres that were created, inspired, or brought to popular consciousness by African American musicians. In addition to a theater offering immersive experiences, NMAAM’s permanent exhibitions include such galleries as Wade in the Water, chronicling Black religious and spiritual music from the golden age of gospel to R&B and soul.
John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge
This iconic 1909 truss bridge links Downtown to East Nashville, allowing you to cross the Cumberland River on foot for that perfect photo opp. On the other side of the bridge is Cumberland Park, with its well-maintained playground and water features running in warmer months.
