We had a wonderful stay with my family, parents, sister’s family, and brother. It was a beautiful location to sit outside and enjoy the nature around us. Mark was a great host and ensured we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this VRBO for anyone looking to get away for a weekend and spend quality time with their family in nature.

This is a definite have to go back to property! Mark was easy to work with, very responsive and available when needed. House was perfect for our family: plenty of room to spread out and find your own space : at times with a front gated veranda and an amazing back porch leading down down to a grassy landing with a tiki feel complete with a black stone grill! All looking directly out into the lake. Our favorite spot was dinners on the deck overlooking the lake. Beautiful sunsets! House was clean, full kitchen and great area for late night movie watching after days on the lake. Again one of the most relaxing times with our kids. Of note on Old Hickory, you cannot use the private docks if you are a short term renter. There is a close boat ramp if needed. Mark has a pontoon you can rent. FYI, he is also a local realtor if the lake life really creates an impact! Going into Nashville was great one night but we only went once as we loved just staying at the house.

We enjoyed our trip to the lake. The house was just as advertised and our multi-generational family vacation was a huge success. Thank you!

Wow, our family had a wonderful stay which included a full day use of the host's pontoon. Nicely appointed kitchen and amenities throughout. The deck with all of the lounging areas was our favorite hangout area. Mark was quick to respond to our requests and is a pleasure to work with. About 20 minutes to downtown Nashville, you truly have the best of everything. Thank you!

Everything was great. If we have one comment, it's that when you pay a pretty significant cleanup fee in the price, we don't feel like you should have to strip the beds, do the laundry, wash the dishes and put them away. Taking out the trash should be enough.

This property is Amazing, you will enjoy every moment.

This lake home was perfectly for our large and busy family. We enjoyed the lake view and the comfort of the home. Mark is an excellent host- he even stopped by with cookies for our kids.

My family and I enjoyed the property. Mark is very concerned about his guests and reached out on our trip to see if everything was okay and ask if we needed anything. Overall the house is nice and Mark is working to keep improving the property. I would recommend staying at this property.

Very nice location to visit Nashville without being too far from downtown. Home and location were very nice and would be wonderful in the summer with the lake acces and outside kitchen bar area. Only downside is home needs a little TLC likely due to high rental usage. Owner was great and very easy to contact. We would definitely come back and rent again.

Our family of 6 (parents, grown kids and their significant others) met here for 5 days over the Thanksgiving holiday, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect place for us! The location was absolutely ideal —not too far at all from Nashville, but just far enough away to make our stay calm, quiet and relaxing. The home is spacious and has loads of personality —with comfy indoor spaces and LOTs of truly fun and unique outdoor spaces, as well —the views of a beautifully scenic lakeshore were an added bonus! The home is very clean, has everything you need to cook whatever you’d like —we made an entire Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings! The giant TV in the great room had enough seating for a large group to watch movies —we played some of the games in the cabinet —we took walks in the neighborhood, too! We ventured in to Nashville for some great food and entertainment, as well. Our hosts were available instantly to answer our questions, but honestly, the info they shared with us ahead of time had us feeling prepared before we arrived. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again —we had a fantastic time, and being able to be together all in one place was the key to a great holiday! Thanks for sharing your home —we will be smiling about the memories we made for a long time!

We had the most amazing time. The house is so beautiful and the lake views are breathtaking. We hope to stay there again someday.

We really enjoyed this property with family for my 45th birthday. House was big and accommodated all of the family including 3 little ones. The outside bar was great to relax at for a few drinks and grilling and we really enjoyed the fire pit at night after the sun went down. Mark also rented us a Pontoon Boat right at the house so we didn't have to deal with going to a marina to rent one and then return it later in the day. Awesome stay we highly recommend Mark and his Italian Villa on Old Hickory Lake!

We had a great time at this Mediterranean Style home on Old Hickory Lake. The outdoor space and access to the lake was why we chose it. The house is spacious and has everything you could ask for. Two foot Cove is just a few hundred yards away and is a great spot to hang out, shallow with a sandy bottom. It was a real plus to be able to bring our pup. She loved hanging out on the deck looking out over the water. Beautiful place to stay and a rare find!

Absolutely loved our stay! The house is amazing and has so many different places to sit out and enjoy the lake atmosphere.

Great time loved the property. Loved the deck it was really relaxing with the view of old hickory lake. Out door kitchen was put use for a fish fry!! This stay was for my 50th birthday party and enjoyed it thoroughly!!!

Overall a great stay. Kitchen well stocked, tiki bar area great, beds comfortable. Loved the covered patio. Only problem was a lot of algae at the beach area but totally out of the control of owner. Rented a boat from the owner at a reasonable price and they addressed any problems we had very quickly.

Mark was so great to deal with throughout the entire process. He checked us in and made sure we knew where everything was. We also rented his boat for a few days which was awesome! There is a sand bar just a 30 second drive from the house where the kids had a great time being able to stand in the water! The house was just as beautiful as the pictures and was just a 25 minute drive into downtown Nashville! Truly the best of both worlds!

Beautiful lake. Glad that I had access to a boat which allowed better swimming options and views of the lake. House had plenty of room and nice amenities.

Place was fantastic. Relaxing atmosphere with great proximity to nashville. Beautiful lake with majestic views. Tiki hut was great for cookouts. Mark was a great and accommodating host. Will be back again.

Sunsets and birdwatching from this house are spectacular. Owners/manager were very responsive to my reach out for help cooling the place off. (Many houses on the Lake use combo heat pumps, and I happened to visit during a heatwave. Local folks were super warm and friendly. This is convenient to Nashville and the airport whose flight path the lake sits nearly under. I would definitely stay here again with a larger group. For ignorants like me, this isn’t really in a “swimmable” part of the lake but if you take a boat out a few hundred yards you’ll be in a place where boats and folks are standing waist deep in the water laughing and drinking and having a party.

This property is amazing, All the amenities you could want or need. Clean and luxurious. Mark was fantastic to deal with prior to and during our stay. This is the best VRBO property we have ever stayed at, and we have stayed at many. You will be glad you picked this incredible house and location for your stay.

Great location. Wanted the lake during the day and the fun of Nashville at night so this was a great fit!

We had our sibling reunion -- three couples -- at this lovely property. Views from many levels and lots of room to move around where we could all gather together or have our separate spaces. Mark the homeowner was responsive from start to finish. The kitchen is fully stocked and the tiki hut was wonderful for grilling and eating out overlooking the lake. Loved our stay!

I was so impressed with the communication with Mark. He was very easy to get ahold of and if we needed anything he made sure to get it to us very promptly. The house was amazing!! The view in the morning was great also. It was absolute paradise and will definelty be coming back.

We enjoyed our stay and didn’t have any problems. Everything was as described. Less than 30 minutes away from the airport and downtown Nashville. Mark was great host. We would definitely stay here again.

So much fun!!!! We had 7 in our group and some local family visited daily. Plenty of space for everyone. The decks were amazing. So much outside living space (napped outside on the deck a few times after enjoying the lake!). Made great use of the blackstone and bar area in the tiki hut. The only thing we would change……,rent the pontoon the entire week! We only did two days and regretted it. So stinking fun!! Mark was a great host, so accommodating and friendly! Can’t wait to do it again!

This place was amazing with an easy commute to downtown. Stayed with the extended family (10 people) and had enough room for everyone. Working with host was easy and enjoyable. He took care of everything we needed. I would highly recommend staying here.

The home is as beautiful in person as the photos. The master bedroom was wonderful - waking up to the view of the lake is spectacular. Mark and Jen are fantastic hosts, communicating often to answer questions. Kitchen is stocked. The boat rental was perfect and the kids loved taking out the kayaks! For authentic Mexican food, go to El Comal and definitely get the ceviche! Great stay and we highly recommend!

Perfect spot to relax with your family or friends. The home is very roomy and with eight of us we never felt on top of each other; plenty of spaces to sit indoors & out! The owners made everything easy from check in to check out. They have the house decorated beautifully. The Outdoor spaces are perfect to enjoy the lake and the tiki hut is a lot of fun With lights all around! Mark is a great host and let us rent his pontoon to enjoy the lake one day! Great location And the neighbors are very friendly. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a lake getaway and not too far from Nashville. Wish we could’ve stayed longer! Hope to go back sometime!
