About this apartment rental
Slightly Off Retreat is truly a gem: peaceful, comfortable, close to everything! A unique, fun apartment that features a full bath, 2 bedrooms (queen and full beds), huge den, kitchen and laundry room. Most guests find it hard to leave the covered porch with the idyllic view.
This is an unusual find in historic Lockeland Springs, situated next to Shelby golf course with wooded acreage behind. Enjoy the view and solitude while being only minutes away from the Country Music Hall of Fame, museums, and more. Downtown is 3 miles away (Uber/Lyft is easy & affordable), but much is in walking and biking distance -- Coffee shops, amazing restaurants, bakeries, bars and shops.
Located on the bottom level of a beautiful East Nashville home, Slightly Off is completely separated from the owner's residence upstairs, with its own entrance, driveway and carport. You will find board games, books, WiFi, ROKU TV, DVD/VHS/CD players & DVDs/VHSs to play. And because it’s music city, a guitar, banjo, and djembe are in the apartment. A stage sits in the back yard that hosts house concerts (don't worry. not during your stay;)
Shelby Park is a large city park a few blocks away; it features a public golf course, driving range, tennis courts, playgrounds, duck pond, ball fields, and walking paths in the wetlands preserve. Shelby Bottoms has miles of green ways to walk, jog, or bike alongside the Cumberland River. In the immediate neighborhood, you will find great local art, shop cool boutiques and eat at fantastic restaurants.

Very nice!! Clean, well-kept. Everything we could need was there. Great view. Very good neighborhood. We communicated with the owner a couple times and she was prompt in her replies (almost immediately). We met her outside and had a good conversation.

This is a beautiful place to stay. Kelli is a fabulous host. Situated right on the golf course great for privacy and peace and quiet. House has everything you need. Great front porch to relax on and have a morning coffee. If I ever get back to Nashville - I would stay here again

We traveled with our 6 year old and 4 year old sons and this was a perfect spot for our family! Our boys loved all of the toys and movie paraphernalia in the living room. The space is very eclectic and the outdoor area is wonderful. Kelli was a very responsive and gracious host. We would definitely stay here again!

What an amazing property to spend a weekend with your friends! Everything was nice, clean and organized for us when we arrived. Probably the best part was waking up in the mornings on the porch overlooking the golf course, listening to music, and spending time with friends! The fire place was a great addition, which we used two nights in a row. Kelli was amazing and even came down a couple time to check up on us! By far one of the best rental properties I’ve been to in a long time

We were absolutely satisfied with our accommodations. This little jewel feels like home! Loves the peacefulness and especially loved the outside covered porch. Everything you needed or could want was supplied by the Hostess. I would highly recommend that if anyone is looking for a homey, comfortable place to stay this would be it!

We had a delightful stay in Lockeland Springs. Our hostess was most welcoming; the house was very clean with many charming details. Plenty of restaurants and stores close by and the neighborhood was safe. The front porch and hilly views were quite lovely. Would most definitely stay here again.

The location of this rental can be described as “ideal” for whatever your interests are while visiting. Kelli’s home overlooks a golf course providing beautiful sunrise/sunsets for your enjoyment from the personal patio but yet close to all the attractions Nashville has to offer. If you are a walker/runner don’t miss the beautiful Shelby Park with its miles & miles of hiking/running trails, less than a mile from the rental. Downtown is a short distance away, about 2.5 miles & Uber is an inexpensive, easy, safe way to get to/from.
The apartment itself is stocked with all the extras; shampoo, conditioner, abundance of towels, etc. One of my favorites is the high end washer & dryer provided & it’s all yours!! Along with the cleanliness of the apartment the decorations certainly reflect Nashville history. We would HIGHLY recommend this hidden gem and hopefully can return to Kelli’s little piece of paradise in Nashville soon.
Thank you Kelli for helping create beautiful memories!!

Just as described! My family and I had a great stay here. Short ride to downtown Nashville. The beds were comfortable with quality sheets and pillows. This place was a home away from home with everything you need and more. I will Definitely stay here again Nashville. Awesome outside lounge area with a relaxing view.

Great East Nashville Spot
We greatly enjoyed our stay. The property is proudly advertised as a slightly off retreat with plenty of qwerks to make it unique and special. The neighborhood is great and the host is fantastic. I highly recommend this property if looking for something off the beaten path.

Perfect for family
We loved this rental! The outdoor area is great for relaxing, having a drink or grilling. The kids enjoyed all of the available games, dress up box and movies. Host was so welcoming and easy to communicate with. We are looking forward to visiting again.

Hidden Gem
My teenage son I came to Nashville for a concert at the Ascend Amphitheater. This home was perfect for us! Kelli was a gracious host and the home was ready upon our arrival. The porch overlooking the golf course was the perfect place for morning coffee. My son bought a guitar during our first afternoon in town and thoroughly enjoyed playing it on the backyard Little Hollywood Bowl stage. The home is close to all things downtown without being in the hustle and bustle of downtown. It is just 30 minutes to Franklin, which has its own walkable downtown area and a nice public golf course. We greatly appreciated the pay-it-forward items in the fridge and snacks on the counter as they allowed us to have a quick bite and cold beverage without needing to rush out to a store or restaurant after a day of travel. The home is exactly as described in the listing. The beds and furniture are comfortable and it is well stocked with linens and other necessities. The kitchen is adequately equipped to prepare home cooked meals and there are plenty of great restaurants in the neighborhood without needing to head into downtown. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. Inclement weather ruin your plans for the day? No worries, there is a large selection of movies and games for an entertaining day indoors. When I return to Nashville with friends or family Slightly Off Retreat will be my go-to lodging from now on!

Would definitely stay here again!
This place is perfect if you’d like to explore the city of Nashville but also start your days peacefully with a fantastic view. Ubers were only about $10-15 to Downtown even at the busiest times. Kelli was so friendly and accommodating, and the place itself had everything we needed. Thanks for a great stay!

The location was really peaceful off the 10th fairway. The apartment is eclectic, yet functional. You can hear the host above you while in her kitchen and her dog. Not too far from downtown and several blocks if walking downtown East Nashville.

This property is absolutely amazing. The location is perfect with a view of the golf course.
We absolutely loved this property. The host was amazing and kept in contact letting us know about things happening in the area. The house was very clean and well maintained. We will definitely be back.

East Nashville Gem
We loved our stay (family of 4 with 2 boys ages 12 & 10) and the apartment was a perfect accommodation for us. Felt like we were at home when we walked in. Kelli allowed us in a little early and was very easy to communicate with.
Location suited our needs and was close to downtown. Beds were comfy and apartment had most everything you'd need during your stay.
Love the pay it forward deal Guests have continued. One of our fave aspects was the porch h fireplace and the fact the place is adjacent to a golf course. Was quiet neighborhood and had fun hitting golf balls onto golf course at end of the day. Built fire outside daily and had s'mores of course! Even played the guitar a few times!
We hope to be back to stay someday soon and visit more of the immediate neighborhood.

BETTER Than Described!
I will start by saying that Kelli's VRBO photos do NOT do this rental justice! Lots of thought went into this awesome place. So much character and incredibly comfortable. Kelli has thought of everything plus more...We spent our time indoors as well as on the porch. Comfortable in every way.
Bonus is that Kelli is a wonderful host. She stayed away until we had questions. She shared some history, turned us on to a private "house party" to listen to live music and made some other great suggestions.
This trip was a girls trip (for the Rock n Roll Series Half-Marathon), but all 4 of us were in agreement that we will be returning to Kelli's place with our spouses sometime in the near future!!! Laura
Kelli was the perfect host!

Fun, unique place
We only had a short stay, but our kids had so much fun here. All the special touches…dress up bin, movie selection, stage and disco ball out back. They will remember this part of our trip for a long time because of its unique qualities. The outdoor sitting area with heater was a great place to hang out after kids were asleep. Thanks Kelli!

Fabulous stay!
The property and its location was far better than expected! I can’t believe how close to downtown Nashville it was! The space was so well appointed too. I would highly recommend this place for families!

We stayed 8 days and loved every day. Such a convenient location from the city. A $9 uber ride to Broadway! Extra set of clubs at the property came in super handy and inspired us to play 18 holes. Kelli was so nice and accommodating! Had a hiccup with the washer machine while there and Kelli took our clothes upstairs and washed and dried for us! Full of good recommendations and doesn’t appear worn down from tourists (which I would be if I were her)!

We did a weekend at the property, for a girls trip. We loved everything about it. It’s close to everything. The property itself is amazing. We booked it after seeing the lovely outdoor space. The patio is a great place to gather and overlooks the golf range, making it very private. Kelli is an excellent host and is easy to get in touch with. We’ll definitely be booking again
