Country Living in the City, Relax!!

Our large, spacious 2 BR 1 BA Brick Home is located on a 1/2 acre lot in a great safe location 15 min to anywhere in the City. It has four full size beds. Two beds in each bedroom. It sleeps up to eight people if 2 people sleep to a bed. It's walking distance to Shelby Farms Park & the Green Line bicycle/walking path. Our home has a large, fully equipped kitchen with a full set of pots and pan, bakeware, blender, handmixer, dishes - everything you need to cook a nice meal. Our house has a Wine Cooler, Breakfast Bar, Washer/Dryer, iron and ironing bed. 1 Gig internet.

The house can sleep up to 8 people if 2 people sleep per bed. Please keep in mind that there is only 1 bathroom if you choose to book 8 people.

For those traveling with small children. Our home is NOT baby proof. The outlets are not covered and cabinets do not have safety latches on them.

This house is not able to accommodate parties. Please do not book if you are looking for a place to hold a party.

We do not accept reservations from guests with negative reviews from other hosts.

Our updated and remodeled home was the original farmhouse built in 1938 and the neighborhood was the farm. Over time the farmer sold off parts of his land and the neighborhood built up around it. Several of the homes in the neighborhood are on large pieces of land (2 acres to the left of us and two acres across the street from us) and many other of the houses are just normal neighborhood homes. You get a nice mix of country and suburbs in our neighborhood. We are right down the street from Shelby Farms which is a huge park with paddle boats, zip lining, bike rental and bike trails and lots more.

Old Fashion
Upon arriving the owners of the property stay in the back. Going in dust and feeling of something on my skin crawling made me uncomfortable and mention it whether it’s dust mites or bugs I was threatening with lawsuit for slander. I left after the night because I paid for two nights. Front door had a lock pole so you enter only in the back. Very old fashion and strong cleaning order from moth balls and some other smell.

Welcoming hosts that are very thoughtful
The place was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Nice, clean, soft sheets, and comfy beds. Welcoming hosts that are very thoughtful with their provisions. It is like you truly are guests in their home. Their description is very honest. We visit Memphis at least 3 times per year. We are pretty familiar with Memphis. We have stayed in hotels all over the city. (Some of them only once). If it's available, we wouldn't hesitate booking another stay here.

Great place
I stay here when I come to Memphis on business. John and Pamela are excellent hosts, never any issues. I only gave the neighborhood a 4 rating becaue of the surrounding areas. Their street is safe and quiet.and I've had no issues the past 3 years. I hate giving a high rating because I want it available when I travel there, but the truth is what it is.

Weekend stay
The outside looks a little rough, some debris from a fallen tree limb, the roof looks really old. But the inside was clean, the air conditioner worked very well. If you are expecting plush accommodations, find a different place. But if you want a nice secure clean place, this one hits all the marks. The beds were comfortable and linens clean. John was nice and had breakfast items available for us as well. The location was ideal for what we wanted to do.

We had a great stay. We had a power outage while we were at the house (tree fell on some power lines) and John was great about communicating with us through the process. The house was perfect for our needs. Definitely recommend this cute little housr

Memphis weekend
Nice little house close to I40 which made it easy to get to area attractions quickly. The neighborhood is a little sketchy but the parking was off street and behind the home. We never felt unsafe. The host was responsive to text messages. John greeted us upon arrival and gave us the tour. Super friendly and helpful.

Home away from Home
Let me start by saying that Mr. Christmas is as down to earth as you can get, he is very personable and loves a good conversation. The house was clean from top to bottom, there was even some food in the fridge for us to help ourselves. Everything you need for a great stay, and a comfortable stay was at your fingertips. Mr. Christmas was there as soon as we arrived, to let us in and even walked through the house with us to show us anything we needed to know. We are definitely looking forward to our next trip to Tennessee, and hoping to be able to rent this property again.. Mr. Christmas is a wonderful host

Amazing place to stay!! Great Home
This property was more than expected. There was plenty of space for my entire family to hang out. Everything you could possibly need was provided and the location was close to the park and not a far drive from most places we wanted to visit. I would highly recommend this home. Clean and spacious!!

What a wonderful Memphis house
This house is fantastic. Owner has everything you need for a perfect stay. Loved the fact there was a crockpot and Keurig. The beds were very comfortable. We had a bad thunderstorm and the owner checked in to see how we were doing. We had a very enjoyable trip and having a good house to stay in added to our enjoyment

Great place to come and go
We visited town for 5 days with our family of 7 and needed a place to call home base. This was perfect. The kids ran around in the yard when we were coming and going, we had enough space to have family movie night and we had plenty of dining seats for the one night we ordered in food. Easy on/off to I40 which made getting around town super easy. Clean, well stocked with the basics, and perfect for a weeks stay.

It was very gloomy and every bit of outdated. There was no tissue or paper towels, also old food in fridge. The air was stale, the place was dark with very bad lighting...needs to be brought up to date.

It was nice to meet up with our friend and see the town. We always have had the concept of a listed bedroom to have privacy, this was not available with a curtain. This listing should be a 1 bedroom.

The large yard and two beds in each room were perfect for us. We needed and ironing board and iron which was all in the house. And all commented on the strong the water pressure in the shower, a major plus. Pam is a lovely host and great communicator.
