The Waverly - Less than 2mi from Downtown

Stay in the Heart of Nashville: Ideal for Large Groups!

Located just two miles from downtown, one mile from the convention center, Music Row, Vanderbilt, and Belmont, and just blocks from vibrant music venues, bars, and restaurants, this home offers the perfect setup for large groups seeking both proximity to the action and a peaceful neighborhood for rest. With three floors, numerous sleeping areas, and five full showers, this home is ideal for families, bachelorette parties, and corporate retreats! (Permit number: CASR-201518940)

Featured on A&E and CMT!
This house has been showcased on A&E, in country music videos, and in major publications like Rolling Stone Magazine. With its soaring 15-foot ceilings, the grand entrance is highlighted by a hand-carved Victorian staircase. You'll find custom trim, designer touches, and six original hand-carved fireplaces throughout the house.

Prime Location in Historic Woodland-in-Waverly
Once part of 12 South, Woodland-in-Waverly is Nashville's oldest surviving suburb. Just two miles south of downtown and conveniently close to I-65, this location provides easy access to everything: Downtown, Broadway, Music Row, Hillsboro Village, 12 South, and West End are just minutes away. You can also walk to local bars, coffee shops, comedy clubs, and unique thrift stores. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and charming, with wide streets and sidewalks perfect for a stroll.

Parking & Transportation
Street parking is available at the front, along with three private parking spots in the gated rear of the property. It's just a short ride from the airport (10 minutes, $10-$25 by Uber/Lyft), and downtown is only 2 miles away (around $8-10 by Uber/Lyft). The Metro Bus also has a stop nearby.

Your Home Away from Home
The house is fully yours during your stay, with only a few private areas (food pantries/storage) labeled. We aim to make you feel at home, and while we’re available nearby for any assistance, we’ll respect your privacy unless you request otherwise.

Enjoy walking around and soaking in the early 1900s mansions, 1920s/30s bungalows, and the welcoming atmosphere. Families, pets, and locals chatting are a common sight.

For those wanting the best of both worlds—closeness to the action and a relaxing, historical neighborhood—this is the place for you!

The Publix market was a .5 mile walk for groceries and there was several conveniene stores within one block for easy beer and seltzer runs if you want to enjoy the porches and yard or pre-game in the house to conserve some "fun money" that you'll inevitably be hemorrhaging for beverages while out on the town, lol. The Uber transportation options are plentiful and you're typically on Broadway or other downtown destinations within 20 minutes or less from placing the order to jumping out of your ride. If you appreciate historical houses and buildings - this is an easy choice with close proximity to the action as a bonus.

Beautiful property, great for a large group!

This house was so wonderful! It is charming and spacious and was perfect for a large group. There were workers that came to do loud yard work early in the morning which woke everyone up. I wish we would of had a heads up about that. Otherwise, it was a great stay and I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Even better than expected

This house is gorgeous. The mixture of historical and modern was so tastefully done. The living areas are perfect for a large group. The management company was extremely responsive and accommodating. The kitchen had all the basics though may have been a little light on extras for the gourmet cook. The beds were amazingly comfortable and the neighborhood was close to so much it was very convenient. We absolutely loved it.

Incredible House and Location

Everyone in my group of 12 was raving about the house the moment they walked in and had the tour. What a beautiful house, well looked after, incredible location. We were there for my wife's 60th birthday celebration and we had people flying in from all over. We are already talking about making this an annual event and stay in The Waverly again. Right after I arrived, I received a call asking if everything in the house was okay and they offered their phone number should any issues arise. Thank you for everything you did to make our Nashville trip a very memorable one!

Celebration Time

We loved the house and especially it's location. We were able to access everything within minutes. The house has the charm of being historic with modern updates. We all had plenty of room and the whole house was a comfortable temperature. The yard needs some attention, but may have been due to recent rains. Our group, a mixture of men and women had no complaints and we would return to this location for a Nashville visit.

Not what I expected

The property was not at all what I expected. The check in was horrible. I wont go in to details because the property manager did contact me after the fact and he did make things right with me to help cover all the bad things that had occurred so I do appreciate him. Other than that the stay was ok. The house does have potential. It seems to need a good cleaning and general maintenance upkeep. Quite a few things that were broken. The neighborhood was not the best. They built this place up in my head by telling me how amazing it was and I was let down and so were all of my guests.

Beautiful Home but needs some "tune ups"

This house was for 14 of my family members to celebrate my daughters 21st birthday. The house fit us all nicely, but it needed a few "updates". First of all, with that many of us it was impossible to have to keep track of the key...a keypad on the door would have been much better so the door could be locked and unlocked with just a code. Secondly, the house wasn't very clean. There were cobwebs everywhere and since they charge a cleaning fee you would think the house would be spotless. We had something stolen out of the house also, so not sure if someone knew the code and came in after we left but there were a few things that were unexplainable. Overall, we had the best time, but the cleanliness of the house could have been better. Oh, and if you are trying to sleep while others aren't good luck you can hear everything on the first floor...the people above you and below you it was like they were right in the same room as us, so there must not be that much insulation in the floors. Also, the one bedroom downstairs had a curtain missing in the bedroom that went to the main entrance so we had to use a bathroom towel to cover the window. I hope the property owners tweak a few things! Overall, we had a great time in Nashville!!

Fantastic home for group trips

Highly recommend staying at this property. It was gorgeous and so unique. It is also huge and had more than enough room for our large group. We were in town for a bachelorette party and loved that the house had plenty of space for hanging out, both indoors and outdoors, and that it was so easy to get around town. There are a few great places in walking distance and it is an easy Uber to Broadway. It was the perfect place for our busy weekend of exploring the town. The hosts were also responsive to all of my questions, before and during our stay. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great Place if you need the space

Shoddy exterior but much better once you get inside. 5 bedrooms on the main and upper floors and another in the basement if you can handle the typical musky smell of most basements. Paisley did a great job setting us up with food and beverages- nice option to take advantage of. A bit close to a main road - was hit up by the homeless a few times while sitting on the porch and there were a few times cars stopped and the drivers hopped out to relieve themselves on the corner. Big city life with big city issues I figure. We had 4 couples stay and there was plenty of room for us all. Downtown is a close ride away, and Hattie B’s is a quick walk for the best hot chicken you will ever consume. Place has potential for sure, just need to work on the little things to get another star (dual pane windows, bathroom rugs, exterior paint, backyard update, etc.)

This is a gorgeous house. Its old and a bit creaky but it is beautifully updated and decorated. Its was a lovely, quiet location, very clean and well kept. We got stuck an extra night in Nashville due to the SouthWest debacle and Gerry & Paisley were very helpful and allowed us to stay an extra night for a discounted rate. Couldn't recommend more!
