Perfect getaway
Everything about this property is amazing. The home is beautiful, the neighborhood is beautiful, and the hosts have thought of Everything. The evening we arrived there were terrible stoms and tornadoes going thru TN. The host messaged us and kept us aware of the weather conditions we would be driving in to. We appreciated that so much considering we were in unfamiliar territory. We have stayed in several vrbo properties over the years but this one is my favorite and by far these are the best hosts we've ever had. I would give 6 stars if i could.

Great location for MTSU Homecoming Weekend
We arrived and were thrilled to see the house was along the MTSU Homecoming Parade route. Simply walked up to the corner (1 house back from Main Street) and there was the parade. We were able to walk to the tailgate and football game in no time. The home is beautifully decorated and has great outdoor space as well. Owners are wonderful to communicate with and such gracious hosts. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this home for a stay in Murfreesboro.
