Our updated and remodeled home was the original farmhouse built in 1938 and the neighborhood was the farm. Over time the farmer sold off parts of his land and the neighborhood built up around it. Several of the homes in the neighborhood are on large pieces of land (2 acres to the left of us and two acres across the street from us) and many other of the houses are just normal neighborhood homes. You get a nice mix of country and suburbs in our neighborhood. We are right down the street from Shelby Farms which is a huge park with paddle boats, zip lining, bike rental and bike trails and lots more.

The outside looks a little rough, some debris from a fallen tree limb, the roof looks really old. But the inside was clean, the air conditioner worked very well. If you are expecting plush accommodations, find a different place. But if you want a nice secure clean place, this one hits all the marks. The beds were comfortable and linens clean. John was nice and had breakfast items available for us as well. The location was ideal for what we wanted to do.

We had a great stay. We had a power outage while we were at the house (tree fell on some power lines) and John was great about communicating with us through the process. The house was perfect for our needs. Definitely recommend this cute little housr

Very nice little house that has everything you need to stay! It's close to the freeway, food places and multiple gas stations within walking distance! Pam was absolutely awesome in her communication with me! I would absolutely stay there every time I come in to town! Thank you Pam and John, we were very comfortable in your home!

Enjoyed being so close to Shelby Farm Park.

Nice little house close to I40 which made it easy to get to area attractions quickly. The neighborhood is a little sketchy but the parking was off street and behind the home. We never felt unsafe. The host was responsive to text messages. John greeted us upon arrival and gave us the tour. Super friendly and helpful.

Let me start by saying that Mr. Christmas is as down to earth as you can get, he is very personable and loves a good conversation. The house was clean from top to bottom, there was even some food in the fridge for us to help ourselves. Everything you need for a great stay, and a comfortable stay was at your fingertips. Mr. Christmas was there as soon as we arrived, to let us in and even walked through the house with us to show us anything we needed to know. We are definitely looking forward to our next trip to Tennessee, and hoping to be able to rent this property again.. Mr. Christmas is a wonderful host

Great 3 day golf trip to Memphis, the house is close to restaurants and bars “away” from Beale street, and very convenient!

Cute 2 bedroom house in an older quiet Memphis neighborhood close to the intestate. Great off street parking, comfortable beds, nice cute bathroom and great hospitality. A great place to enjoy family.

This property was more than expected. There was plenty of space for my entire family to hang out. Everything you could possibly need was provided and the location was close to the park and not a far drive from most places we wanted to visit. I would highly recommend this home. Clean and spacious!!

This house is fantastic. Owner has everything you need for a perfect stay. Loved the fact there was a crockpot and Keurig. The beds were very comfortable. We had a bad thunderstorm and the owner checked in to see how we were doing. We had a very enjoyable trip and having a good house to stay in added to our enjoyment

Everything was just what the pictures showed, it was very nice, and the Host were the best. Pam & John thank you both for making our trip a special occasion.

We visited town for 5 days with our family of 7 and needed a place to call home base. This was perfect. The kids ran around in the yard when we were coming and going, we had enough space to have family movie night and we had plenty of dining seats for the one night we ordered in food. Easy on/off to I40 which made getting around town super easy. Clean, well stocked with the basics, and perfect for a weeks stay.

It was very gloomy and every bit of outdated. There was no tissue or paper towels, also old food in fridge. The air was stale, the place was dark with very bad lighting...needs to be brought up to date.
4.8
It was nice to meet up with our friend and see the town. We always have had the concept of a listed bedroom to have privacy, this was not available with a curtain. This listing should be a 1 bedroom.

The pictures are pretty accurate, what you see is what you get and that's always nice. Nothing fancy, but very comfortable and exactly what we wanted for a buddies weekend away.

The large yard and two beds in each room were perfect for us. We needed and ironing board and iron which was all in the house. And all commented on the strong the water pressure in the shower, a major plus. Pam is a lovely host and great communicator.

Host thinks of just about everything. We felt at home for our stay. Highly recommend this place.

Communication was excellent with the property owners, and they were kindly able to accommodate a small special request. This older house was spacious, perfectly clean and comfortable, and extremely well stocked with everything we needed and much more for our long weekend visit. Just a short drive, maybe 20 minutes from anything we wanted to see or do in the area, and we felt more secure not staying downtown. We also appreciated that the owners were very responsive but not at all intrusive.

Ladies Roadtrip July 2022
Everything about this property was perfect for the two of us (although many more could be accommodated). The location of the house was on a quiet little street in the Memphis suburbs (10-15mins drive to Memphis attractions). The house had everything you might need from great off-street parking, large bedrooms with comfy beds (my preference is for a firmer bed and these were good), excellent shower & water pressure, all kitchen gadgets, our host John even had stocked up some food so we didn't have to run out right away the next day. There was bagels, fruit, cereal and milk, and eggs. Wonderful! John is a great host. He is super interesting to talk with and has lived in the area a long time and knows the city inside-out. Our only complaint was the blasted heat. Everyday the heat index was over 100. The A/C worked perfectly. Do not hesitate to rent from John and Pam! This property was awesome!

Spacious Home for 2 Couples
We thought this property would be perfect for our stay in Memphis area and it was. We were even able to add a day on the front end after the initial booking. The house was clean and well-stocked with all we needed and more! If we find ourselves coming to the area again this is the property for us!

This house was perfect for my family. My son had a tournament at the Agricenter and this house beat any hotel we could have stayed at. Older home that is remodeled very nicely! The homeowner was very nice. We have stayed in many rentals and this was the best stocked one we have ever been to. Would def stay here again!!
