Here’s what you can’t do in a downtown Nashville hotel room: make pancakes at 10 AM while your sister-in-law murders “Wagon Wheel” on guitar in the next room. Sprawl across a real couch after six hours on Broadway. Bring your dog on vacation without paying $200 in pet fees.
That’s why we started StayInBNB.
We’re a tiny crew – family-run, actually local – managing luxury vacation homes around Nashville and a few spots in East Tennessee. That 4× Airbnb Superhost badge? Earned it the hard way. Answering 11 PM texts about the thermostat. Actually caring when something goes wrong. Our occupancy rate hovers above 80% because guests leave happy and tell their friends. Not rocket science.
Staying in a real home just hits different in Nashville. You’re close to everything – the honky-tonks on Broadway, Grand Ole Opry, Opry Mills, those neighborhoods everyone’s always posting about. But here’s the thing: at the end of a long day, you come back to a place that feels like it’s yours for the week. Not some hotel room that smells like whatever chemical they use to mask cigarette smoke.
Throwing a Nashville bachelorette party? We’ve got houses with game rooms and hot tubs. Big family reunion happening? Full kitchens, actual space, nobody’s stuck on an air mattress in a hallway. Traveling with your dog? Several places are pet-friendly.
This one’s legitimately cool. Brenda Lee – yeah, that Brenda Lee, the “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” lady – grew up in this actual house. We restored it without destroying what makes it special, added modern stuff so it’s comfortable. Music nerds absolutely lose it over this place. Families love the nostalgia. Visiting Nashville for Christmas? I mean. Where else would you even stay?
What you’ll find in our Nashville vacation homes:
We’ve hosted Nashville bachelorette parties people still talk about years later. Family reunions where everyone actually enjoyed being together. Romantic getaways. Holiday stays at Brenda Lee’s house that made a grown man tear up (the good kind of crying).
Music City chaos or Smoky Mountain peace – we’ve got properties for both moods.
Heads up: most guests book around 90 days out. With our occupancy above 80%, good weekends disappear fast. If you’re eyeing a specific date or holiday, don’t wait around.

A place to land, rest, and feel like you belong here.
Tennessee does something to people. Slows them down in the best way. Maybe it’s some song drifting out of a Nashville dive bar at 2 AM. Maybe it’s fog sitting heavy over the Smokies while you’re making coffee on a random Tuesday. Maybe you just needed to stop for a minute.
Whatever dragged you to Tennessee, the place you stay ends up being part of your story. That’s the part that sticks with you.
We’re not some faceless rental company running things from an office park in Delaware. We’re a family operation with 4× Airbnb Superhost status. We clean these houses ourselves. Fix things when they break. Answer your midnight text about the Wi-Fi password. Sometimes we’ll literally flag you down to tell you about the bakery down the road with those insane cinnamon rolls.
Each home has its own personality – a hidden cabin in East Tennessee where you hear nothing except birds, a country house near Nashville with a porch made for long conversations, a villa where laughter carries way past midnight.
Some folks drop in for a show and two nights. Others hang around a month, working remote and spending evenings on the porch with a drink.
Our places have the everyday stuff you’ll actually use. A coffee maker that works properly. Towels that got softer over the years. Wi-Fi that doesn’t die every ten minutes. Cookware you can legitimately cook with, not just take photos of.
Maybe there’s board games stacked on a shelf. Maybe a paperback someone forgot. Those little traces of past guests make a place feel lived-in instead of sterile and weird.
Most of these homes are owner-loved, not staged within an inch of their life for Instagram. You can tell – floors with scuff marks that have stories behind them, beams that have held up through decades, that comfortable worn-in feeling that good places get over time.
Want groceries waiting when you arrive? Dinner reservations lined up before you even leave home? A handful of our properties offer concierge help for exactly that. Saves you a grocery store run your first night when you’re exhausted and just want to settle in already.
Music City to the Smoky Mountains – StayInBnB’s got a door open and a key ready. Come see what Tennessee actually feels like when you’re staying somewhere that feels like home instead of just another rental.
