The Starlight Retreat - Starry Nights & Huge Yard

Welcome to The Starlight Retreat — a peaceful country escape where guests can relax, explore, and enjoy nature at their own pace. Nestled on a quiet, private 1.5-acre lot, right outside of Nashville this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home comfortably sleeps up to 5 guests and offers the perfect balance of space, comfort, and convenience.

Why guests love staying here:
• Large private yard with plenty room to enjoy
• Calm, quiet setting away from busy roads and city noise
• Hosted by an experienced Superhost who values comfort, cleanliness, and clear communication

Nature by day, stars by night:
Mornings are filled with birdsong and peaceful views — the birds here are truly beautiful. In the evenings, gather outside by the fire pit and look up: on clear nights, the stars absolutely light up the sky. Guests often spot both the Big Dipper and Little Dipper, making stargazing a favorite family tradition during their stay

Comfortable & practical inside:
• Cozy living room for movie nights or board games
• Fully equipped kitchen for easy family meals
• Comfortable beds and thoughtfully arranged spaces so everyone can feel at home

Easy access to family activities:
• 20–25 minutes to Downtown Nashville’s attractions, museums, and restaurants
• 10 minutes to Beaman Park for family-friendly hikes and outdoor adventures
• Under 30 minutes to Opryland, Opry Mills Mall, and more

Whether you’re roasting marshmallows, listening to birds with your morning coffee, or spotting constellations before bedtime, The Starlight Retreat is a place where guests can reconnect, relax, and make memories that last long after checkout.

Felt like Home!

We truly enjoyed our stay. The home was very relaxing and had all the accommodations we needed for renting a place for a week. Quiet area and just far enough from busy Nashville. Plan to come back in the future!

Relaxing retreat

What a great home! We spent several days here while touring Nashville. This house was perfect! Kitchen had all we needed and a few extras like fresh popped popcorn! The backyard was very private and HUGE! Lots of outdoor toys to help make use of it. Furnishings were nice and comfortable. Our host was amazing and went above and beyond! We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Nashville.

Quality time.

My wife and I had quality time with our grandson for 5 days at The Starlight Retreat. The location is perfect for hiking, caving, fishing, canoeing, history, and music. We visited the Hermitage and the Bell Witch Cave on this trip. There are plenty of good local restaurants, but the kitchen is very functional if you prefer to cook. The backyard is big and well-equipped. We enjoyed the firepit one night. The beds are very comfortable. Lisa is a gracious host and answered questions promptly. We would stay here again.

This property does not disappoint!

We have opted for vacation rentals instead of hotels when we travel for work in recent years. The home was very clean and super comfy. Our host had basic necessities on hand too so I was able to run a load of our laundry. We may have been slightly sad that the "extra" door didn't lead to a magical world. Lol! But seriously, we truly enjoyed being able to come "home" at the end of each very long day. Thanks!

Absolutely loved this little cozy place. Very clean and comfortable. Has a lot of little signs around the house with positive sayings which is amazing. There is a coloring book with crayons to color a picture and leave a nice message to leave on the board. It’s interesting to see where everyone is from. Will definitely stay again

Nice property!

Loved the flexibility of check-in time. Lisa was very responsive to all inquiries. The bird's chorus was a bonus! Mother Nature didn't cooperate for us to enjoy the firepit and outdoor swing. Maybe, next visit! We would definitely book again.

Everything was perfect, the little touches that Lisa did throughout was VERY nice.

Great first experience with VRBO, no problems, Lisa was very quick with all her responses. Couldn't ask for a better host! Loved the waffle mix and small waffle griddle, along with the hot chocolate made the cold mornings a little warmer. Thank you Lisa!! We will be back, when it's warmer!

Totally Terrific!!

Spotless; beds are comfy; lots of little details "Lisa" includes to make it feel warm, convenient, and homey. We stayed 3 days. If we were to return to Nashville in the future, we'd try to reserve this place once again. The property is located away from the city. After dealing with Nashville traffic congestion all day during the 3 days we were there, the little bit of country was a blessing! Thank you Lisa 5+++++

Country site to relax from city high life

Check in good Facility adequate. Kitchen small; would not plan to prep/serve meals. Big bed we used was fine. Bathroom kind of small with no stopper in tub. Solved problem with “new car odor” by unplugging air freshener by desk. All in all, adequate and comfortable for our visit to Nashville.
