Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Step Back N Time~Walk To Downtown~2 Hot Tubs~Gated
Worked well for our two families traveling to come together, great common areas to hang out in, comfortable accommodations that were well appointed and considerate.

Fatherland Cottage
We had an amazing stay! Host was always super helpful and responsive if needed. Home was just as wonderful as described. Many places within walking distance to check out and very close to downtown Nashville which made it very convenient. It had everything we needed and more. Highly recommend, and we would definitely stay again!

*Cozy* Birdhouse Cottage with spa, kayaks, dock!
I was surprised when originally it said check in time was 5:00 PM couple days prior to checking in. I did reach out and he responded right away that nobody was there day before and we could check in anytime after 1:30 which was a huge relief. I had not seen a check in time when I booked. Everything about the place was as described and perfect. Note: there are no lights on the dock for night fishing. Matt at no time said there were and when I asked him if there was a place to turn on lights he actually said we could run into town purchase something and he would reimburse us. I thought that was going above and beyond. Fishing was great. It was a very nice place. I did pay more than I usually do after fees and taxes more than I usually do per night. After our stay I would be tempted to pay the money to stay there in the future. Matt is a great host.

3/2 Artist Studio Retreat (20 mi. from Nashville)
We had a great time at the cottage - loved the hot tub, watching movies on the projector screen, and fresh eggs in the morning! Nice, peaceful reprieve after a day downtown. Host was very responsive!
Recharge and Renew in a Preserved Historic Cottage
Nice and close to downtown, beautiful historic cottage with a lovely garden path! Would love to come when it's not storm season to see the flowers in bloom. Clawfoot bathtub was really nice to soak in. Didn't make it to the hot tub bc we got back so late but our visit was great! Thank you so much!

Historic High Tea Cottage~Walk 2 Downtown~Hot Tub
Wow! The pictures don't do this home justice! We booked this for a girls trip and it could not have been better! The house was beautiful, clean and very charming! There were a ton of original touches mixed with new upgrades! Denise was very responsive and very kind! She suggested several fantastic spots in town, and checked in on us! We would glady book with her again, in this property or another one of hers! You can tell she takes pride in her properties and they are well taken care of!

Serene Farmhouse Retreat w/sunrise & sunset views
We loved our college roommates ladies' weekend at this cottage. The back porch swing and hot tub were great for catching up in. Valerie left thoughtful items around the home--music, timed candles, twinkle lights, complimentary goodies and some for purchase, bathrobes, lots of towels and wash cloths. Beautiful backyard view. We enjoyed shopping and eating in Nolensville and Franklin.

Cozy Retreat ~ East Nash, Close to DT, Parking!
We had a wonderful stay! The place was super clean and incredibly cozy. Itās in a great location, within walking distance to several great restaurants and a charming coffee shop. Despite being close to everything, the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, which made for a really restful stay. Highly recommend!

Lakeside:King Beds, Firepit, Kayaks & Fishing Gear
The property looked like the pictures. It was supplied with many more amenities than other Airbnb properties. Almost anything we could want was already supplied. They even had a pet station with supplies. We had a little hitch getting into the property, but were contacted immediately and it was promptly fixed. The property was beautiful, with lots of wildlife. The downstairs hvac system was very inconsistent, but we were able to make it work. The check-out instructions were very reasonable compared to other properties. Don & Dora supplied a very in-depth guidebook for the area. If we werenāt visiting locals already, it would have been very useful. Over-all, it was a very enjoyable trip in a very comfortable house.

Cliffside Cottage
It was a homecoming for my wife and I, we used to live in TN for 6 years & haven't been back since 2018. We adopted our 4 street dogs from Nashville & Memphis, all of them near the end of their life (age, arthritis, cancer, you name it). Plus we added two little daughters. This was a perfect place to get back to our "roots" and enjoy Tennessee. Kids enjoyed their rooms, we all slept great. It was February so weather was raining more than half the time but when it wasn't we certainly enjoyed the grounds. The creek is just great for a 7yo & 4yo to play in (safe and shallow). Perfect country get away for city dwellers. Thanks Josh!

Charming Historic Cottage downtown Franklin
Would absolutely stay here again. Walkable to Main Street, Franklin, with plenty of restaurants, bars and shops. Walkable to a nice park with running paths for me and my pup. Felt right at home. Got a great nights sleep, great water pressure in the shower, beautiful back yard- note it is not fenced in, but still lovely.

Cheerful *CozyCottage615*/2bed/1bath/15 min-GM
Canāt say enough about Jenny and the @Cozy Cottageā. Jenny left a book with a bunch of recommendations and she let us know if we needed anything else or information about the area she was there. Her place was so cozy and clean and had everything you needed plus more. The covered porch with the swing was perfect to sit out on with a beverage or nothing and watch the sunset. It was quiet and peaceful and would love to stay again. Jenny and her husband are great hosts and loved that they fly the American Flag in all their homes (being veterans it was nice). Loved our stay for the 2 weeks!

Cottage near Nashville - Allow Pets/Fiber Internet
We recently stayed at this magical cottage and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The whole atmosphere of the place was truly enchanting. The cottage itself was cozy, well-maintained, and full of charm. The surrounding scenery was breathtaking, and we loved taking leisurely walks and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The host was incredibly accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, our time at the cottage was simply magical. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a peaceful retreat.

Creekside Cottage Near Nashville- Pet Friendly!
Nicoleās place was adorable and sooo peaceful. We spent hours sitting in the screened-in porch, listening to the babbling creek and watching the birds feed right in front of us. We felt like we were at a movie theater. We even saw great blue herons wading and gliding along the water! We loved coming home after spending the day in and around Nashville (about a 30-min pretty drive along some winding roads). Nicoleās cottage is cozy and clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinner. And donāt forget to check out the hammocks down by the water! If we return to Nashville, we will be coming back to stay in this home away from home.

Remodeled 2 bedroom 1 bath cottage close to town
My group really enjoyed staying at Williamsās place. Itās such a cozy place,well decorated, and comfortable. He quickly responded to emails before I got there and after check-in. There were snacks on the counter and several easy to fix items in the cabinet, which wouldāve been handy if we had not been able to get to a grocery store before check-in. I loved the shower and could have stayed in there for days. I felt very safe walking the dog in the early morning hours before sun up. The neighborhood is lovely and is close to downtown. When you stay here, I recommend you walk around the square, read the historical markers on each business, and admire the murals. I highly recommend this home to other travelers. Thank you, William for making it a great weekend.

Breezeway Guest House - Franklin, TN
The pictures do no justice to the beauty of this peaceful cottage tucked amongst the trees. We were fortunate to book on short notice with Mike and Donna navigating the details expeditiously. The cottage is rejuvenating, its appointments warm and comfortable. Some things take you back to a simpler time. The anticipation in visiting again makes me smile. Lucky for me I already know I'll be back. Thank you greatly Mike and Donna for your hospitality and acceptance. Our family was able to enjoy much needed quiet time in a beautiful environment ā¤ļø

Visit Civil War Sites from a Private Stone Cottage
We had a great time celebrating our Mom's 80th birthday! Great location. Great house. Would stay again!

Poplar Hollow Farmhouse
Pamelaās place was a wonderful, quaint, clean and beautiful cabin out in the country and was the perfect place to stay! We spent plenty of time on the rocking chairs on the front porch, said hello to the horses and fell fast asleep each night in the cozy cabin bedrooms. We look forward to hopefully staying again in the future!
Stone Cottage E Nashville 3 miles from downtown
Nancy was a super responsive, kind and helpful host! Her cottage is in a great area and had everything we needed. It was comfy and cozy and completely unique! And, Nancy gave us some plants to take home. Overall, a great experience!

Mule Town Cottage Stunning Gardens, 3BD/2BA, Wi-Fi
Darrel and Bev's little cottage was the perfect spot for my weekend away. From pre-check in, to meeting us onsite for a quick overview of the place when we arrived, everything was perfect. The screened in front porch was a personal highlight, I spent more time on that than anything else. Can't recommend it highly enough if your looking for a weekend away in Columbia! Thanks Darrel!

Music City Studio B, Music Row, Nashville, TN
Great location! far enough away from the nightlife of Broadway but a cheap Uber to get there if you wanted! The apartment was perfect for a party of 4. It was so clean, cute, and cozy! Only small complaint is there is no where to hang up towels after using them. A few hooks in the bathroom wall would be an easy fix! Overall we loved our stay here.

Maple Roost-A stroll to downtown Columbia & Square
This was our second time staying at The Maple Roost. We had a wonderful 2 week stay there in the summer and so we didnāt even look at other accommodation options for our most recent 1 week stay. The Maple Roost is well appointed, cozy, clean, and comfortable. We enjoyed being able to settle in easily. It is in the perfect location; close to the charming town of Columbia, you can walk to the town square, and yet you feel the peaceful quiet of being out of town. Holly is a delightful, thoughtful, and responsive host. The Maple Roost mirrors Columbia; warm, inviting, a great place to make fun memories.

River Roost
Had a wonderful stay at the cottage. Hiking trails were really close by, we did lots of hiking. We wouldāve loved to go canoeing but it was off season, however thereās several places to rent canoes and kayaks close by. Took 30 min or less to Nashville, easy drive back and forth. Recommend stopping for groceries before getting into town, only place really close by is a Dollar General about 5 miles away. Although I was able to get everything we needed from the DG. Super clean, kitchen had everything I needed. Beds were comfortable, a little on the softer side for those who might want a firm bed. Highly highly recommend for a peaceful, relaxing, nature filled place to stay!
