The best Airbnbs in Nashville

This sleek home is meticulously decorated with designer touches such as exposed brick, hardwood floors, minimalist black-and-white bathrooms, and polished mirrors in nearly every room.

The cottage-style home accommodates up to six guests in two bedrooms, and self-check-in is available for those who like to function on a more flexible schedule.

Suitable for all ages, one reviewer notes: "We absolutely loved our stay here! We were traveling with friends and even a 6-week old, and this spot made us all feel comfortable and at home. The extra blankets, comforters, and pillows were much appreciated and we really enjoyed hanging out."

Located a mile and a half from Downtown, it's a short drive from Nashville's most notable spots.

Some of our favorite Airbnbs in other cities have been tiny houses, due to their cozy nature and seclusion. This tiny house cottage looks like it was specifically designed with couples in mind with a woodsy fairytale-like location and lofted bed under a romantic vaulted ceiling. Young families will also be comfortable, with child-friendly amenities such as a provided travel crib, high chair, children's toys, and baby bathtub.

While tiny in size, the decor is larger than life with arched doorways, baby blue counters, and a rustic wooden bathroom door hiding a clawfoot tub. The yard is complete with patio seating, a play area for kids, and a tranquil garden.

Though this property is not as centrally located as some others, it's off the beaten path charm is well worth a look, especially since it's only a 10-minute drive from Downtown Nashville, and rideshare services make the trip incredibly easy.

The bright blue door initially caught my eye when browsing, but this trendy apartment's minimal yet mod interiors are equally appealing. A great fit for small families, this two-bedroom apartment can accommodate up to five guests with newly renovated bedrooms.

The pops of color don't stop at the front door — they're tastefully dotted throughout the home with bright lamps, pillows, and vibrant art. The modern furniture, spacious kitchen stocked with kid-friendly dinnerware, and cozy seating areas both inside and outside of the apartment give a nod to the recent investments the hosts made in this home.

This property is centered between Hillsboro Village and 12th South, so it's easily accessible to the great shopping, dining, and culture found in both neighborhoods.

This studio has somehow managed to strike a delicate balance between modern comfort and vintage appeal. Although renovated last year, the roots of its 1915 origins remain visibly intact with a black and white kitchen complete with a retro microwave and woven dining chair, to midcentury modern low slung armchairs, and intricate toiletry dispensers in the shower.

The studio is also neighbors with the iconic RCA Studio B and Warner Music Nashville and is just a 20-minute walk from Downtown's live music scene.

If you'd rather stay in, you'll be equipped with all the major basics: heat and air conditioning, TV and Wi-Fi, and an in-unit washer-dryer.

A homey spot for families, this condo can fit up to four guests with two beds. The hardwood floors and mesmerizing "Tennessee" light in the living room are eye-catching, and the balcony makes it easy to soak up some much-needed sun. Or, take a dip in the shared community pool, which is one of many shared features, including a gym and fire pit as well.

The cleanliness and prime location stand out among reviewers, with one stating: "The location is super central; we were able to walk to downtown very easily. The apartment itself is clean, has a great layout for a small group of people, and has nice amenities to make it feel like home."

Located within walking distance from buzzy Downtown Nashville, entertainment is easily accessible.

Complete with a hot tub, this cozy guesthouse is especially appealing to those looking to relax and unwind on their next trip to Nashville. The soft cream color scheme is backed by a gray headboard in the bedroom for a sophisticated hotel-like feel, but for far cheaper, and with the added convenience of a kitchen with a Keurig and large fridge. The steep slotted staircase adds a contemporary touch to this home as well, and the entire space feels clean, bright, and modern. Self-check-in and an in-unit washer-dryer are added perks.

The home sleeps six guests though there's technically only one bedroom; additional beds are found in a lofted sleep nook. And while the guesthouse is completely private, it's important to note that the hosts of this property live on-site.

The location in emerging East Nashville is one of the city's most coveted and is a short drive to more popular areas.

This generously-sized home can fit up to 10 guests with four bedrooms and six beds, but the high ceilings, open spaces, and natural light make it feel even larger.

Wooden floors and detailing feels simultaneously historic, cohesive, and calming, while fireplaces, stacked bookcases, an upright piano, and supple leather sofas and chairs lend a regal air. The kitchen boasts new appliances and the marble master bathroom feels spa-like infusing the home with modern comforts. Though, you might spend a good portion of your stay outside on the wide porch with Adirondack chairs, or the expansive back patio with a wooden deck and brick courtyard outfitted with a fire pit and chaise lounges.

12th South is one of favorite Nashville's hot spots, dotted with adorable boutiques, brightly colored murals, and often, the presence of a flower truck. This property sits in the heart of it, which 100% of guests raved about in their reviews.

Accommodating up to eight guests across five beds, this large, well-styled property is a great fit for groups of friends or large families looking to travel together. Small details like the wooden coffee table and tribal prints and pillows on the beds and couches tie the look together, and the 100% rating for the check-in process sweetens the deal.

Edgehill, where this property is located, sits between 12th South and Downtown, two of Nashville's most popular neighborhoods for easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment.

This home is quintessentially Nashville, with nostalgic hints to the city's notoriety such as the record player and guitar in the living room lined with books, the Jack Daniels poster in the bathroom, or plant-covered chandeliers. Americana prints mingle alongside tribal textiles for a hip feel throughout the two-bedroom home, which is warmed by an electric fireplace or the inviting outdoor fire pit.

Cleveland Park is described by the hosts as one of the more laid-back areas of Nashville, so this private guest house accommodating four guests is best suited for those planning a more relaxed getaway. If you do get a hankering for Downtown nightlife though, it's only a 10-minute drive.

I'm admittedly enamored by the fire engine red spiral staircase, vaulted ceilings, and wood-paneled wall, but this loft's uniquely chic design doesn't stop with these bold accents. Plenty of adorable small details are tucked throughout the home, including a vintage typewriter in one of the bedrooms, and a nook with a hanging chair on the balcony.

The airy two-bedroom home includes an in-unit washer-dryer, grill, and self-check-in. The host has received a 5.0 rating for communication, check-in, and accuracy, with one reviewer stating: "The owners were extremely responsive and provided many thoughtful amenities not typically seen in other Airbnbs, such as toothpaste, q-tips, coffee, oatmeal, tampons, lotion, razors, etc."

This converted garage is industrial but sleek with an all-neutral color scheme, contemporary lighting fixtures, and an open kitchen, all bathed in streaming natural light. While the interior design shines in this well-sized one-bedroom home, I was especially impressed by the peaceful patio with a fire pit and chairs overlooking a sprawling green lawn. Two beds can accommodate four guests, though there is just one spacious bedroom.

Located in 12th South, this property reaps all the benefits of being within walking distance from the top highlights of the neighborhood. While reviewers note this, they also recognize standout details within this home, like the kitchen that is "well stocked with cooking items."
