About this house rental
Mid-Century Brick Ranch - simple and efficient. What more can I say - I love this house and this location. Each of the three private bedrooms has a queen sized, comfortable, double sheeted bed and room for all your stuff. Everybody shares the bathroom but surprisingly this works better than you would think. Wireless internet will keep you connected, cable TV can keep you informed. Central heat and air will keep you comfortable. Starter supplies like paper towels, soap and TP are also stocked. Other standard amenities include a washer and dryer, full sized kitchen, stove, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, refrigerator and dishwasher. The kitchen table is unique. A local metal artist made the boomerang and it seats 4. Out back there is an enclosed porch, casual dining table for 4, and a charcoal grill on the flagstone patio.
Your furry, 4 legged family members are welcome. We do allow pets with their proper supervision. There is a doggie door in the laundry room that leads out into the fenced yard. It has a big tree with squirrels. Just up the street is the Shelby Dog Park. We do ask that pets be crated when left alone in the home.
About 1.5 miles down the street is the eastern edge of the Cumberland River and the Shelby Avenue pedestrian bridge. Parking here is sometimes free and you can walk over the bridge into the Lower Broadway area. This is where you will find the Country Music Hall of Fame, honky tonks like Tootsies and Legends, the Hatch Show Print store, Music City Center, Wildhorse Saloon and much more.
Within walking distance is the Shelby Bottoms Greenway and Nature Park. It is one of the true jewels of Metro’s Park and Greenway system. This 810 acre park offers 5 miles of paved multi-use trails and another 5 miles of primitive hiking trails. Along the trails, visitors can enjoy boardwalks, scenic overlooks, interpretive stations and seven rustic bridges. The area is well known as a haven for migrating birds and other wildlife.
Shelby House, established 2006, makes it East Nashville’s first “VRBO” and Nashville Neighbors grew from there. When we set this house up in May of that year our realtor Maggie questioned the feasibility. “Who would want to come to Nashville and stay in a house in East Nashville?” The Times They Are A-Changin’.

Overall just what we needed. Kids had their own rooms to decompress in. Could have used a bit more living room seating. Couldnt really use the screened in porch, there was no lighting out there or in the back yard. Seemed liie the hot water didn't get very hot & didnt last very long

Home is clean and well equipped, we had everything we needed. We were grateful they allowed our 3 poodles. The location is ideal, near downtown, the Nissan stadium, Germantown. We had a great time!

I booked this property for a client of ours and her family. They had some insurance repairs going on in their home that prevented them from living there while repairs were going on. My client had no complaints or issues at all during their stay. I worked out to be a great fit for their needs. This host was great to work with and very helpful. We would recommend them.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy a fun weekend. Great coffee shop, restaurants & eclectic shops within walking distance. We were able to bring our pups & the fenced in yard was perfect.

Sleeps 6 but only living room TV was a bummer since there isn't enough living room furniture to accommodate 6 people. Made it work but wished we had blow up furniture or something. Location was great. Not even 2 miles from downtown.

We had a great experience staying here. The house was clean, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed. Being able to bring our pets was such a bonus, and the fenced in back yard was perfect for them. The location is excellent — walkable to many restaurants, shops, and the greenway. Highly recommended!

Enjoyed our stay, plenty of space in the house. Very easy to come and go. Or favorite parts were the huge backyard and comfortable rooms. Couple areas need a little updating, but everything is clean and no complaints!

I stayed with my 2 dogs while working and looking for permanent housing. The house was perfect and the dogs loved the yard. It’s also really close to a wonderful dog park. The location is convenient to both east and west Nashville.

Excellent East Nashville location. Strollable to an excellent coffee shop and convenience store. Very, very clean. Backyard is large and fenced in—perfect for pups. Beds are comfortable and towels are plush. WiFi fast and supports many devices. Only downsides are an uncomfortable couch and inadequate plumbing. TMI but the toilet struggles to flush a normal adult waste deposit. I cannot imagine sharing this house with more than one other person for that reason alone.

This was a family trip for us to nashville and a first time for half of us. It was a great little spot. The east side reataurants were close and very nice and downtown was also very close. We had a blast and the house waa great for sleeping having some breakfast and relaxing on a few of the nights.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Shelby Hills. We were in town for the inaugural Music City GP and this location was the perfect distance for a quick uber to the track and while also be closing enough to downtown to enjoy it but not be gobbled up in all the partying.
We had brought our bikes to get around but the combination of grossly underestimating the intensity of the hills along with 3 days of 90-degree weather, we didn't get much use out of them. We were pleasantly surprised to find a bike shop across the street, however - and even more surprised to find out the guy working there was from Indianapolis (like us)!
The only things I'd note for future travelers - it is an older home so you should set your expectations accordingly. That said, it was charming and we had no issues at all. It was very clean and had everything you might need. And finally, we are avid recyclers and the bulk of our waste was plastic bottles, aluminum cans and cardboard. We didn't realize there was a recycling bin in the alley until we were bringing all of our trash out on that last day so that was a bummer. All that to say - if that was our biggest issue of the weekend, I think we were doing pretty good!
The owners make everything very easy for you (check-in/out) and we really appreciated their willingness to let us bring our 3 dogs. We live in the city and were quickly spoiled by having a fenced-in backyard for the weekend. We hope to come back next year for the race and would absolutely hope to be able to stay here again!

At first thought we would be closer but after figuring out the public bus system it was great. Should leave bussing schedule for guest . Otherwise it was great and we appreciate it. Thank you.

After checking in, we realized quickly the air conditioning was not working. The homeowner sent their maid to address the issue, at which point she quickly said it was frozen over (so it must be a reoccurring issue with this old home). We had to turn off the AC to get it to unfreeze. It was 98 degree weather, and the temp in the house reached 88 degrees. With two dogs and a 77-year old mother, this was a nightmare.
After the homeowner granted me a refund, I was not going to leave a bad review. Then they decided to re-coup some of the refunded money by charging us a damage fee. What a joke! These hosts are not the best people to work with at all. My suggestion, stay elsewhere. The AC unit needs to be replaced...bottom line. Worst experience I've had with VRBO thus far, and I never complain or leave bad reviews.

Super cute house in an amazing neighborhood. Loved the places to eat and visit in the neighborhood and still close to all the stuff downtown.

A bit unusual but we stayed as we had home renovations that ran long. We stayed with our two doggies. Yard is perfect. Even a dog door. The screened in porch was awesome to relax during the week. Very eclectic in decoration. Very clean. Would definitely stay again if needed.

The Shelby Ave house met all of our needs! My husband, son, two dogs and I traveled from the Milwaukee area. We loved the location of the property...very close to downtown Nashville. The dogs loved the fenced in backyard and made friends with next door neighbor dogs and dogs at the dog park, which was within walking distance. The covered screened in back porch was perfect at night when we wanted to have a beer and talk. East Nashville has some amazing breweries and restaurants, too.

The Shelby House was all we didn’t know we needed. We had a plenty of space for three couples to hang out and catch up. The house location was perfect, just a few minute Lyft ride to Broadway and surrounding sites.

Our 2nd time back in 5 weeks, we have really grown to like this house. Loved the new look and appliances. The perfect amount of distace from Broadway , food trucks and parks. The one and only downfall is the shower needs to get some attention. Billy and Dawn McNamara
