Paris Tennessee Stay in the Little Gem Beyond Amazing
We stay in rentals often especially when traveling as a whole family. The house was exceptionally clean. The neighborhood is quiet. The host is easy to contact and made every effort to make we were happy. Beds are comfortable, coffee is great, and process is simple. Host has other properties in town and I look forward to renting from her again if I ever need to travel through Paris.

great little place
I traveled to this location from out of state due to the death of a friends mom. Another friend traveled with me, and we were originally going to stay in a hotel - but decided at the last minute to stay here and it was a great decision Not only was the house super cute and clean, it was very conveniently located to everywhere that we needed to go. Additionally, staying here allowed us the opportunity to prepare some dishes to take to the family. The kitchen was very nicely stocked and had everything that we needed to use. this is a great little house and I would 100% recommend it for anyone considering renting it. Also -- I read in one of the other reviews that there were a lot of dog's barking in the neighborhood. While there were dogs out and about - their barking was not an issue when we were trying to sleep. Each of the bedrooms had a white noise machine. Not sure if they were added after the noise complaints - but they worked great.

Cute house- loud neighborhood
Clean and cute house! The biggest downfall was the neighborhood. We got woken up by multiple neighboring dogs at 6:30am for 2 of the 3 nights we stayed, non stop for hours on end. Being that we only used this house to sleep in it was a big negative. I have never heard dogs bark so loud and so repetitively. I had half a mind to knock on the neighbors doors. Would not stay here again just for that reason!
