Idler’s Retreat, also known as the Dillon-Tucker-Cheney House, a rare jewel in Middle TN, is situated in the Front Street District in Smyrna.

EARLY CHECK-IN
I absolutely wish we could offer an early check-in! However, this is a large property that takes between 6-10 hours to prepare for the next guest after someone checks out. It usually is not ready until right at 5 PM. We will always let you know if it does happen to be ready any earlier. The ONLY way to guarantee early access will be to book the night before your reservation.

Beautiful Historic Home
My family and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful historic estate! The property is very well kept, including the large swimming pool. It felt very clean and was the perfect size for my family's vacation (12 adults and 2 children under 3). The linens and appliances are all high quality which was a very nice extra. The hosts were great to deal with and replied quickly. I would absolutely reccommend this house!! Thanks so much Savannah for hosting us!

The perfect stay!
I had my bachelorette party here. It is such a gorgeous home. It fit me and my 13 friends perfectly/comfortably. The pool is a big plus. The place was clean, the host was super nice and helpful through the whole experience. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. We didn’t want to leave!

A beautiful home
My friends, family, and I had an amazing time at Idlers Retreat! The home is absolutely breathtaking and we all enjoyed the pool very much. The location of this home was also perfect for us to get to downtown Nashville as needed. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful!
Really enjoyed our stay! We loved how they kept charm of the historical house, but with modern conveniences.
We have stayed in many short-term-rentals and I can say this one was the cleanest one we've seen!

Beautiful Home for our Family Gathering
We celebrated family birthdays all week in this very comfortable house. We had 8 adults and 2 children and there was more than enough room for everyone.
The kitchen is fantastic and we enjoyed cooking our meals on the wonderful gas stove.
The dining room had more than enough room for all of us to sit and eat together.
The pool was amazing!
The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful.
We couldn’t have asked for a better visit!
Thanks for sharing your fantastic property!

My Family Loved Staying Here!
My family and I stayed here over a long weekend to participate and celebrate my cousin's wedding. All of my family members expressed deep appreciation for having this wonderful home to gather, share meals, hang out at the pool, sit in nature, play games, cook together in the large kitchen, and be located close to the freeway in order to have access to may other parts of the Nashville greater area. My 70 year old mother enjoyed having a couple of stairs to climb in order to stay in the second home with a large and comfortable bed. We had so much fun and experienced so much love because there was enough space to for all of us to just be together! Thank you Savannah! Thank you to your husband as well!!! You responded immediately to any questions or requests we had. You are wonderful hosts!!!
