Just Right for a Reunion!
This was a reunion of 5 friends who met 45 years ago at Vandy. The Chester was a great location for us as we walked around campus, drove downtown and drove to Franklin. Easy parking on site and easy access to the interstate. Home was a perfect size for our needs.

Perfect place for a writing retreat
My writer-friends and I had a wonderful stay at The Chester. Firstly, it is a BEAUTIFUL house. It was the perfect amount of space and comfort for 7 of us to spread out, get creative and connect with each other. And we loved walking to the nearby music spots and restaurants for evenings out. Communicating with Susan was easy and check-in and out were a breeze. I would highly recommend.

Amazing!
This house is beautifully renovated, clean, well-appointed, and in an amazing location that is relatively quiet yet close to dining, Music Row, and Vanderbilt. It was the perfect location for our college friends’ girls trip. We all loved it! The only thing that would make it better would be pool access! Susan, the hostess, is kind and accessible and check-in/check- out instructions were timely and clear. Well done!

Great Location, Very nice house
The house is just as it appears in the photos and description. Perfect for our group of 5 people all wanting their own large beds. We found it to be a perfect location. Quiet neighborhood, but very close to downtown and the other more interesting music listening venues like Listening Room and 3rd and Lindsley. Because it's an older house, the floors and stairs are a bit squeaky. Can't go wrong with this rental. Great communication too.

Susan and Ron were great hosts, very responsive and welcoming and informative. The house is in a great location, across the street from the Vanderbilt campus and easy walking distance to music row and Edgehill. Tons of space, lots of beds, and immaculately maintained. Highly recommend, especially for families or groups.

Spacious and clean home
Our group of 5 older adults enjoyed this spacious home for our first time in Nashville. We had enough room to enjoy conversation in the living room and do jigsaw puzzles in the dining room. The home was exceptionally clean in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed walking to the Vanderbilt campus as well as to the Honky Tonk bars on Broadway!
