Pollys Place for bird lovers - Private, Close to Gallatin-Sleeps 10-Pet Friendly

Yearning for those slower days when the world seemed to pass you by and where the loudest sound came from the birds chirping, the wind blowing in the trees or the sound of a distant water falling? Well, welcome to Polly’s Place.

This sprawling 2200 sf three-bedroom, two full bath home with sleeper sofa will remind you just how refreshing a break from the normal pace of life can be. Step onto the large back deck and spend the morning sipping a cup of your favorite brew and watching the many birds who have been welcomed for many years. Grab a pair of binoculars and see how many of the visitors you can identify. At sunset, catch a few four-legged friends grazing in the woods behind the home.

Evenings are spent in the large family room sharing stories, reading books or just chilling to your favorite movie. Gather in the large dining room for a long-missed family dinner where laughter and conversation are always on the menu.

This home has been recently updated with all the comforts but still has a charm that reminds you of family getaways from the past. The layout has a split bedroom design with the master and other two bedrooms at opposite ends of the home. The master bedroom has a full en-suite with a soaker tub.

Close to town but secluded. The very large deck, living room and rec room allows families to spend time together while also providing privacy to just read a book. The dining room seats 10.

The home is designed to allow large groups to be together in spaces (inside and out) or to separate for more privacy. The recreation room has cards, games, turntable and records, and children’s area and toys. Hundreds of books provided for your enjoyment. Welcome to Polly’s Place! Kickback, relax, and enjoy everything Portland and our house has to offer.

Convenience store is 2 mi away, Gallatin/Portland are 7 miles away, Hendersonville is 15-20 min away, Nashville is 40 min away and the lake is 15 min. Up to two pets is a $50 fee More than two pets requires approval and possible extra charge
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Dotti is an awesome host. Pollys Place was our 2nd Vrbo home we stayed at where Dotti is the host. Her homes are always decorated to be warm & inviting from the moment we walked in the door; it actually feels like our 2nd home. Dotti is also excellent at communicating with me answering all of my questions. Her homes are filled with everything you will need and we love that she is pet-friendly. We have rented from Dotti 2 times and will plan on renting from her again. Thank You Dotti!

The door into the bonus room from the outdoors was perfect for my mom that has mobility issues. The chalk wall in the kitchen was cute. The kitchen was well equipped. So many nice furnishings and antiques and each room was comfortable(like visiting a close relative’s home). So glad the antique horse was stored away to keep our curious 5 year old from touching it. We enjoyed our stay.
