We stayed in Rebecca’s home when we came up to help our son move into his apartment for his junior year. We loved this property! Lots of thoughtful touches and very comfortable.
We’ve stayed at lots of VRBO properties over the years and this is one of our favorites.

My son left some things after we checked out. The host left on porch for a friend to pick up. Spent a lot of time in backyard. Really enjoyed an and highly recommend..

Everything about this property is amazing. The home is beautiful, the neighborhood is beautiful, and the hosts have thought of Everything. The evening we arrived there were terrible stoms and tornadoes going thru TN. The host messaged us and kept us aware of the weather conditions we would be driving in to. We appreciated that so much considering we were in unfamiliar territory. We have stayed in several vrbo properties over the years but this one is my favorite and by far these are the best hosts we've ever had. I would give 6 stars if i could.

We arrived and were thrilled to see the house was along the MTSU Homecoming Parade route. Simply walked up to the corner (1 house back from Main Street) and there was the parade. We were able to walk to the tailgate and football game in no time. The home is beautifully decorated and has great outdoor space as well. Owners are wonderful to communicate with and such gracious hosts. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this home for a stay in Murfreesboro.

We had a wonderful trip celebrating our son's graduation from MTSU. The Picket Fence Cottage was the perfect place to call home for our family. Clean, cozy, well appointed, close to MTSU, quite neighborhood and just overall cute! We definitely recommend to others. Rebecca is very responsive and her homemade cinnamon rolls were terrific!

We have traveled extensively and stayed in many vacation homes over the years, but none of them can compare to the experience of Rebecca and Dan’s cottage. They have thought of everything imaginable, to make the accommodation comfortable. The house is located in a very quiet neighborhood, but just minutes away from everything we needed. The accommodations were immaculate both in and out. The attention to detail and the attentiveness of our hosts made this a memorable experience for my family and myself.
Definitely planning on a return visit!

This was by far the cleanest and best equipped VRBO that we have ever rented! It was lovely in every way and better than the pretty photos. Communication with the owner was excellent in that she is timely and polite. We definitely felt welcomed!

Do not pass this cottage up!
This was the most amazing stay to date and we've stayed in quite a few VRBOs. From the 1st inquiry to Rebecca, to the last message that we left, it was THE BEST experience ever! House was clean, comfy, it felt homey, she left homemade cinnamon buns on the kitchen island along with a note to our dear daughter wishing her luck at the camp she was invited to play in. That personal touch really hit a home run with us. We cooked, we continued to eat as a family in the beautiful dining room, played one of our favorite games in the backyard during our down time, slept in the comfy beds, etc. I can go on and on. There is no way I would stay anywhere else the next time I am in Murfreesboro! If you want yummy Mac n Cheese balls, you NEED TO go to The Boulevard Bar & Grille. You can walk or drive. The service was impeccable. Hoping to be back in July 2023. Thank you Rebecca and Dan for sharing your beautiful home which we loved so much! We didn't want to leave :)

We so enjoyed the charm of the home as well as the amenities available. I’m a bit of a neat freak and was impressed with the cleanliness!! I’m also focused on comfort, the living room furniture is super comfy as well as the beds.

Picket Fence Cottage - A rare find
We stayed for 3 nights Pickett Fence. The cottage was clean and had all you need to feel at home away from home. Rebecca was responsive and replied to questions promptly. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom was stocked with plush towels, nice shampoo, conditioner as well as lotion. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of plates, bowls, untensils, coffee mugs and more. The location is closed to the university and we enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, appreciating some unique architecture in the area.
We highly recommend this property and will definitely stay here again in the future.
Thank you Rebecca for being such a great host.

The cutest cottage
We loved our stay at Picket Cottage! Rebecca, the owner, was a pleasure to work with! She was accommodating of our schedule and allowed an early check in and had freshly baked cinnamon buns waiting for us upon our arrival! The Picket Cottage was the perfect destination for our daughter’s soccer games in Murfreesboro! It was very clean, well appointed, great backyard area and nice neighborhood! We hope to stay again sometime soon!
