The house was great overall. Very comfy, great location. The pink bathroom may need a little attention as those tiles aren’t going to stay on the wall much longer. Despite that, we would book again when visiting family again.

Cute house in Murfreesboro!

Centrally located near dining and shopping. House was very nicely decorated and plenty of space for our family of four. Owner was easy to communicate with. Some minor things we would change but overall we would stay here again if in the area. Be sure to check out Slick Pig BBQ near MTSU!
