Their entry and parking is off the alley on the other side of the building.

Fabulous house!

The Chester is an incredible property. The location is fantastic; practically on Vanderbilt's campus! The house has tons of room (3 queen bedrooms, plus a huge bedroom on the third floor with 2 queens and 2 twins), all of the amenities you could want, and it is just as charming as can be. We were a family of 9, and we had plenty of room for everyone. The hosts are fantastic as well. I hope we can stay here again!

Fantastic Stay!

The house was outstanding! The location made it easy to go everywhere we had hoped to go and more. The layout of the house was great for our group. We made use of most the amenites, which were plentiful. But possibly the best thing was the communication and care showed by the property managers. I was given help with general area information immediately upon reserving the property. We had an amazing week in Nashville! We will definitely stay here again when we come back!

GW at The Chester - Nov 2023

The 23rd Girls Weekend (GW) in Nashville was super! We're eight long-time friends, age 55+ - most of us enjoyed our first-time visit to Nashville. The Chester was a comfortable gathering space, with a central location for launching to NVL's attractions. We had a few meals in the house and also appreciated Susan's recommendations for restaurants within walking distance. Thanks for the memories!

Absolutely perfect!

We could not have asked for a better place to stay. We were a group of 4 adults who used the rental in order to attend a conference at Music City Center. It was a great location, easy to walk to some amazing restaurants as well as Broadway, and was perfect for us to do some working meetings together in the dining room. The hosts went above and beyond to help us prepare for our arrival including providing lots of helpful recommendations for all of our needs. Truly a wonderful experience. Thank you!

Just Right for a Reunion!

This was a reunion of 5 friends who met 45 years ago at Vandy. The Chester was a great location for us as we walked around campus, drove downtown and drove to Franklin. Easy parking on site and easy access to the interstate. Home was a perfect size for our needs.
