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.
During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be within walking distance of Smyrna Golf Course. You'll find features like an outdoor pool, a spa tub, and an arcade/game room. The vacation home offers free WiFi and a private pool.
  • Air-conditioned home with private pool, kitchen, and washing machine
  • Free WiFi
  • Take a swim in the outdoor pool or soak in the spa tub
  • Just a 3-minute drive from Stars and Strikes Family Entertainment Center and a few minutes from Sam Davis Home and Museum

Excellent Stay!
We loved this property! It was charming and clean. It had the perfect amount of space for the 10 of us, and it was conveniently located not too far outside of Nashville. The kitchen was well stocked and all of the extra small perks were much appreciated. It really had everything we needed!

Family Getaway
This historic house was a great place for our family of 12 to be together. The large pool was a great addition to the stay. The house was very clean and equipped to feed a large crowd. We were even able to watch the fireworks from the back yard. I would recommend this home to friends.

Work Retreat
We were a group of 10 co-workers having a summer retreat. It was nice to be able to get work done at the huge nice table and then take a break in the pool and hot tub. We had 6 people in the hot tub so it lost a lot of water but the owners came out and got it going again. They were very friendly!!

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!

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!!!

Estate in the Suburbs
You could feel the history of this home. The old wooden floors, large spiraling staircase. But it had all the amenities of a new home. We had 14 people stay the weekend and never felt crowded. The shower and toilet in each bedroom was a perfect addition and made getting ready so easy. The location is fair, not too far from Nashville and downtown tucked into a suburb. The host was great and very responsive to questions.

Beautiful place. Owners are very responsive.
Small issue with the water. Owner came to the house, himself, with the Utility Company, in record time, in the rain, and supervised the resolution himself. BTW, it was the utility company’s fault, but the owner made sure it was fixed, and followed up with me before he left.
