The Artist's Abode

GreigRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This place was fantastic. We often like to stay away from the main downtown area and use something more closer to the local community, the Cooper-Young area offered that. One recommendation is Barksdale's for breakfast. We had a car and the place was easy to find, plenty of space to park on the drive or even the street. Easy entry using the keysafe and walking in for the first was like WOW! Very clean tidy and felt like home straight away. The bedrooms were beautifully made up and the beds OMG....sooo comfy. Wifi and TV were great with access to YT, Netflix etc. Everything is available to you in the kitchen. Bathroom is spotless and the shower is perfect flow. Laundry unit was easy to use aswell. Uber to/from downtown was around $16 and took around 10-12 mins.

SuperClean Retro Cutie Guesthouse

Kelly And JoeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Sarah’s place is delightfully clean and well organized. The pops of color throughout and comfortable furnishings allows one to enjoy their time within the cottage. Since the location is off the main streets, it’s quiet at night for a sound sleep. Our car was just “small” enough to fit in the parking spot. I found it worth squeezing by the car into the cottage to keep it off of the main streets. I would happily stay again.

Cozy Central Gardens Home | Outdoor BBQ | W+D

NicolaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Zach and Maxwell's place was just perfect for our needs. It is a beautifully remodeled home in the Central Gardens Historic District, and importantly to us, close to Rhodes College. Zach checked on us to make sure we had what we needed. He was very responsive and courteous. We were grateful to have the use of the garage. This helped us move our daughter out of the dorm and keep the car packed overnight. The home was modernly furnished and had all the amenities we needed (for a family of 5). The staircase had lights that allowed us to travel downstairs easily at night. I particularly enjoyed the record player and old Elvis albums! My mother enjoyed sitting in the backyard with a book and looking at the plants. The home is close to a variety of restaurants as well as a Kroger's, if you choose to cook. If you are traveling to Memphis, this is the perfect home for you!

NEW! Reno'd Historic Designer Skylight Prime Area

AdrianahRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Very cute house! Pro: Great location, kind host, spacious house, amazing backyard! Cons: Airplanes (right by main airport we found out after we booked) , trains, and police sirens all day and night! No closets available to hang up my good clothing, only dresser drawers. Stray cats on the porch every morning when we left. (Not a bother for me as I love animals lol) And last couldn’t sit on the chairs on the porch as they were badly stained from weather.

I’ve always found it a bit weird staying on the same property as the owner but, when I tell you Ms. Kathy is the sweetest unbothersome lady I’ve ever met. Only stayed for a night but she gave me a little bit of a personal tour just to make me more comfortable with the place. Very clean on the inside and put together

All About Memphis

Located along the banks of the Mississippi River, Memphis is America’s musical mecca, where enduring ties to blues, soul, and rock ‘n’ roll linger at every turn. Music lovers from all over the world make the pilgrimage to the holy altars of Graceland and Sun Studios, birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll. And when it comes to honoring its past, the Tennessee city packs in some great music museums, including Stax Museum of American Soul Music, Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum, and the Blues Hall of Fame. For an immersive way to learn about the American Civil Rights Movement and its legacy, the former Lorraine Motel, forever etched in the collective consciousness, is now home to the National Civil Rights Museum, featuring displays and exhibitions that span five centuries.

The pulse of the city, Beale Street, hums with activity and entertainment. Live music spills out of the restaurants, bars, and nightclubs and onto the neon-lit roadway. The city is known for its Memphis-style barbeque and is brimming with local eateries and restaurants serving succulent, distinctively smokey, pit-cooked delights. For some downtime, take the short drive to Shelby Farms Park, a lush oasis spanning 4,500 acres of scenic greenery and open space with more than 20 lakes, where you can fish, kayak, paddleboard, and chill out. The park also offers 40 miles of trails for walking, hiking, and cycling.

Memphis experiences four distinct seasons. Summers tend to be long and hot, while winters are typically short, cold, and rainy with little snow.

In October, the River Arts Fest features hundreds of artworks from regional and national artists displayed along the Mississippi River.

Come spring, some of the area’s most beloved events — a barbeque cooking contest, riverside race, and music festival — span the entire month of May. Summer welcomes many famous musicians to Memphis for live concerts and music fests.
