Help! Looking for a place to stay in Nashville

7 years ago

We have a trip planned in March for a long weekend in Nashville. There will be six adults so we want three bedrooms. We are probably going to do typical touristy stuff. I have been looking at air b & bs but I am having a hard time telling if the neighborhoods are safe and in a good location. We will have a car. Can anyone give me advise? I am not opposed to hotels but I would rather not pay $400/night if possible. Ugh, Nashville is a tough town to figure out!

Do you mean 400.00 per night for all six of you or per room? Expecting to pay under 400.00 for six adults simply isn't realistic anywhere. If you check trip advisor there are plenty of mid priced reputable chain hotels for well under 400.00 per night in the area.

I would think with 6 adults you're going to be fairly safe wherever, especially if you have parking on premises, which most seem to have. A 3 bedroom Air B&B will have reviews about safety and neighborhoods. I'd think you could find something nice for much less than $400, for sure.

Lots of choices with good reviews! Good prices, too.

Looking for Local fruit tree farm near Nashville, TN
Q
Comments (10)
Others here will know better than I about the quality of their trees, but there is a seller named Freedom Tree Farms whose main location is in Pelham TN. They claim to be the largest nursery east of MS River and they supply Lowes, Home Depot, Kroger, and Wal-Mart. You can google them to find their online site, though I know for certain that they have a much, much wider variety than what is listed on their web site. Their trees are all potted and about 5-6 foot tall- you can decide for yourself if that is better or worse than small bare-root trees that many here prefer. But here is the best part for you: They operate a satellite retail business which carries a pretty full selection of fruit trees and berry plants (more than shown on their web site) at the Nashville Farmers market every single weekend. Their trees are $15 and berries are $12 and both are large and healthy looking potted plants. So you now have an opportunity to buy almost any kind of fruit tree or berry right there in Nashville, hope that helps. Daves Garden rates them great, but only has 2 reviews so you have to take it with a grain of salt. I've bought trees from them and been very pleased, but I'm new to fruit trees and lack experience needed to be a good judge. Good luck. Nashville farmers market is near downtown Nashville at 900 Rosa Parks Blvd.

Looking for advice - throw rugs that won't stay put!
Q
Comments (12)
Ken, When you wrote that you used "tape" and your throw rug has stayed put, for 7 yrs., are you talking about the two-sided tape? If so, how much did you use? I tried that, but just put it on the corners of the back side & that didn't work. Velcro didn't work & neither did that rubber matting that I cut the same size as the throw rug. They both scooted. I recently had back surgery & can't straighten these throw rugs all day long, so please answer soon! Thanks, Chatty in Ohio :)

Organizing a bathroom so that it looks nice and stays functional

My vanity has no drawers, so I have a tall cabinet with open shelves to one side and a smaller, vanity height cabinet with a door on the other side. I keep everythign in dedicated baskets on the shelves. All OTC meds go in one, Toothbrushes, toothpaste-all oral hygiene items go in another. One to hold lotions, cremes, anything you apply to your body. One holds hair related things that I don't use all the time-straightener, extra boxes of color. A smaller basket holds hair ties, clips etc. I have a large vessel my DD1 made in HS that stores hair brushes, combs, blow dryer, etc. It sits on the counter. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc are in a basket. I keep my make up and personal grooming things in an over the toilet cabinet. I store tubed items, pencils, brushes-anything with a longer handle in pretty highball glasses. Nail utensils are in another. Small, pretty baskets hold make up, manicure items, cotton balls...I have small containers for groups of like items. I hate having to dig to get to what I want, so if I group them by like items, it's easier to find. I keep my medications in a basket that I have near my chair in the family room-I take them with my morning coffee-but if you have some you take at night, keep a pretty basket in the bathroom. In the other bathroom (DH uses that one) I have decorative jars to hold/hide his contact lens stuff, grooming items and in the cabinet I keep plastic containers that hold first aid things, extra hair products, his personal grooming things-deodorant, after shave, etc. I really hate to see things out in the open, so generally the only things on the counters in the bathrooms are the soap dispensers.

What foodstuffs stay on your (informal) eating place?

Oh, Lars, I so agree on the salt pig! I was given one many years ago and it lives in the back of a cabinet. I don't think anything much can live on salt, but I don't like putting my cooking-dirty hand in it. I like cooking with regular salt, and I got a diner style stainless salt bin with perforated top and easy handle for myself when we moved into this house. If I want to "measure" a pinch, I'll sprinkle some in my hand until it's the right amount. If I want a proper measure, I unscrew the top and use a measuring spoon, or by weight I have a little very accurate digital scale for tiny amounts. I don't like using kashering salt, sea salt, or any such thing for cooking, though I will actually use my (washed and well dried) fingers for pinches of finishing salt, like fleur de sel. So the end of the old Bragg's vinegar bottle is still on the table, and it was useful! I got a little too enthusiastic with the habanero sauce at breakfast. It's delicious, but left a lot of burn. Nothing like a good slug of the vinegar in one's water to fix that. :)

If you're hoping to pay under $400 per night per couple, try 21c Museum Hotel. It is gorgeous, and the food in the restaurant is outstanding.

Spani, post this over in Home Decorating Conversations. There are also many people there who like to travel and can chime in with ideas.

I agree about location. I don't do Air and B but my two DD's do. Most often they are happy, but last year oldest didn't like the neighborhood she was in while going to a wedding in San Antonio Texas.

You want to feel comfortable as you will be coming and going in the evenings as well as the day.

I looked at the Airbnb Nashville map. Generally where all the rentals are clumped together on the map is where most people want to be. At least that's what I've found in a medium sized city like Nashville. Just read the reviews and you should be able to discern what's appropriate for your group. If people state that they walk to a lot of attractions, most likely it's a safe neighborhood. I've been doing Airbnb for over 6 years now, and cannot recall any horror stories of being in the wrong neighborhood, or feeling unsafe but I'm sure it does happen. But I read reviews very thoroughly. You can also ask the host questions.

We go to Nashville often for concerts or other fun. Typically we stay overnight or a couple of nights and just stay in a hotel downtown where we can walk and dine where we want. But I understand your desire to perhaps stay out in a more affordable location.

I am not familiar with all of Nashville’s surrounding areas, but I do know that most of the Southwest area is good, from the Vanderbilt area south, including Belle Meade/Green Hills, Brentwood, Franklin. You will have to drive into downtown Nashville, but it will be a short drive. Prices still may be on the high side. Franklin has a charming little downtown area worth checking out, as well as some great places to eat.

There are some other up and coming neighborhoods in the surrounding areas, but those escape me at the moment. Hopefully someone more familiar will chime. Rob is one who will comment I hope.

Message me with specifics if you want! Yes, I have many ideas of the neighborhoods in Nashville. The most affluent areas are Belle Meade and Green Hills. So the nicest places. Somewhat close to downtown and the interstate.
