Debbie and I live close by in Cooper-Young should you need us for anything via message or phone call. We love talking all things Memphis, but totally respect your privacy as well. You are welcome to self check in with our Igloo Home lock box.

Residential homes meet a mix of restaurants, theaters, shopping, and night life is how I would describe the Overton Square area. Typical midtown homes built around the 1920's surround Memphis's entertainment district including Playhouse on the Square, Hattiloo Theater, Circuit Playhouse, and Theater Works, not to mention a Malco Cinema (Studio on the Square) there is no shortage of fun to be had! In addition, Overton Square is bordered to the north by Overton Park, one of Memphis' true gems.

We are about a 10 minute ride to downtown. Typical fares for Uber or Lyft to downtown are about $10.

If you've read this far down, thanks! Come stay with us Y'all! We'd love to have you!

Great location with character

We had a great time in Memphis. It was so great to be able to walk to dinner, shops, and coffee. We were never more than 15 minutes away from the places we were exploring. The house is older and we liked the Memphis decor. The host was responsive and gracious.

Nice spot for a few days

This is an older home in a nice area. I had a little issue with the key box, but the host called me immediately and opened the key box remotely. Overton Square is walkable, so we were able to walk down the road for food and drinks.

Great Stay

This was the perfect location. Very clean and spacious. We were visiting from out of town for the holiday. I was able to cook a huge Thanksgiving dinner for my family at ease with practically everything that I needed. Great location and plenty of room for my Husband and I, our Sin and his family, my grandbabies 2 and 4.

Perfect

Most responsive host ever in my experience of worldwide travel. Immediate & helpful replies to questions or concerns (which were few). Clean, quiet, comfortable home in a safe residential neighborhood within walking distance to cafes, bars, restaurants, & most importantly, the venue for the Indie Memphis Film Festival. Chris & Debbie provided every imaginable amenity - including GOOD coffee! Will definitely stay again if available next year for the Festival😊

Amazing experience for first time in Memphis

This VRBO was fantastic! The communication from Chris from the start was great and the house itself was perfect for our brief stay! It was so clean and had everything we needed! The decor and quality of everything in the house were superb. My daughter and I felt so safe and comfortable and able to relax. The neighborhood and area is really nice with great restaurants and shops so close at Overton Square. We absolutely loved this place and would recommend it to anyone! Hands down it’s one of the best VRBO’s we’ve stayed at!

Thoughtful and well-located

A lot of thought was put into the details here. Like most of Midtown Memphis, it is funky and idiosyncratic, but it was comfortable and spacious enough for three of us to have some space, plus it had everything we needed and hadn't even anticipated. It's literally a block to Overton Square, which makes entertainment and restaurants right outside your door, and a hop, skip and jump to all that Midtown has to offer. And if you don't want to drive or walk, there are bikes available to get around. With a student at Rhodes, we know we'll be back.

Would stay again

This property was exactly as advertised. Good sized primary bedroom and living room. Big television. Great location in terms of being close to attractions. About ten minutes to downtown and fifteen minutes to Graceland. Restaurants and fairly vibrant area within walking distance. We didn't do any cooking, but the kitchen looked well stocked. Driveway parking was very much appreciated. There were even two bikes for use with helmets! The only thing I might suggest if you stay here is to bring earplugs. The house fronts a somewhat busy street (which is pretty quiet at night but gets busy in the morning) and there are sporadicairplanes overhead at night.

Great Memphis charm

I was born & raised in Memphis but moved away a decade ago. So in planning my first visit back I wanted a place in the heart of things and knew right where to look, and I found this place within a mile of where I used to live. This place fit the bill perfectly. The hosts were very responsive and worked with me on several questions and it made my stay here exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend!

Daughter’s Birthday Trip

We came to Memphis for my daughter’s birthday. She wanted to see Graceland. I looked for a property with good reviews and in a good neighborhood. I found this property and decided to give it a try. This house was perfect for our stay. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 starts was because the house needs a little remodeling done due to some structural imperfections. I would recommend staying here and would stay here again if we ever go back to Memphis.

Tons of Character!

Very clean home, my wife and 3 boys stayed here recently and it fit everything we needed! Only thing that wasn't PERFECT was the front room with pullout was very bright for my 6 year old to get sleep, mixed with a couple loud cars on the street driving by.(porch light doesn't turn off and location trade off is that home is so close to great nightlife, but traffic is traffic lol) Host offered to try to help us figure something out with porch light but we just decided to make it work. We'd stay again as it was very affordable and worked well for us. Shower was nice and Small kitchen and gas range was wonderful :)

Top lodging in Memphis

To be brief, the reviews below do not lie. On the contrary, Chris and Debbie's vacation home is simply beautiful, well located, very spacious and super well equipped. Fantastic base to explore Memphis and the surrounding area.... and to recover on the porch afterwards. So, without any doubt, 5 stars from the Belgians also. ;-)
