Bed & Breakfast with a Personal Touch

We are an urban bed and breakfast walking distance (about a mile and a half) from downtown Nashville and a couple of blocks from the popular 5 points district. This is a prime location without paying the higher prices of a downtown hotel. We are a professional B&B Not a room rental or VRBO as advertised on the AirBnB website. We are customer service oriented and serve a full hot breakfast for all our guests at a chosen time to start off your day each morning.

We will help you discover the incredible tours, music venues, and restaurants Nashville has to offer. You can contact us through the reservation page or even better give us a call at 615 256-8375 and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you might have and help you create a great vacation.

Music

Right in our own living room! You are invited to hear some of the great musicians and songwriters who give Nashville its reputation as Music City, USA. Four or five songwriters sit in a circle and perform their original songs. It's your opportunity to be part of the inside music scene in Nashville - who knows, you might hear the next big country hit or meet the next big country star! See the Events section for scheduled music nights.

Art

A wide range of art, including paintings and sculpture, grace the surroundings of the Big Bungalow. Local artists are well represented...you might even decide to take a piece home for a great price.

Quiet Guests.

It is always the quiet ones.

the show Nashville Cast
With great appreciation from the cast and crew of "Nashville" (especially the location department), thanks for your support and friendship through season 2.
Cross your fingers for season 3!

We are also just minutes by car from Music Row, the famed Bluebird Cafe, The Opryland Hotel and the Grand Ol' Opry, as well as the airport, Vanderbilt University and all local hospitals.

See the Links Page for websites with locations and more information.

The Big Bungalow is also just a short drive to the Hermitage, Cheekwood, and Belle Meade Mansion as well as many beautiful public parks. For walkers and joggers, Shelby Park is close by.

If you're an antique buff, you won't want to miss losing yourself in one of Nashville's countless antique shops and antique malls.

And when it's time to fill your tummy, I've got the scoop on the city's best and most fun eateries!
