Super stay in Murfreesboro
We stayed in Rebecca’s home when we came up to help our son move into his apartment for his junior year. We loved this property! Lots of thoughtful touches and very comfortable. We’ve stayed at lots of VRBO properties over the years and this is one of our favorites.

Family Wedding Weekend
We loved our stay at the Pickett Fence Cottage. The pictures do not do the home justice. Wonderful historic and comfortable home. We stayed in the house with our young kids and parents for the weekend. The Haynes made sure we had everything we needed and then some. Rebecca goes above and beyond with the hospitality and provides all kinds of good ideas for activities. Highly recommend staying at this property!

Charming cottage
Such a wonderful cottage! We would definitely stay here again. Decorated beautifully, so many charming details and actual antiques. Rebecca was wonderful to deal with, and the pan of delicious cinnamon rolls she left for us was such a nice touch. We wish we would have been able to explore more, it is such a lovely historic district. Unfortunately remnants of Hurricane Helene brought almost non stop rain to the area pretty much all weekend.

Charming escape amongst historic homes in Murfreesboro
My family loved staying at this cottage, the owner did a wonderful job with interior decorating and layouts, with excellent upgrades. It was a cozy getaway, very quiet and peaceful, plus perfectly located for us to drive to our Murfreesboro event. Will keep this one at the top of our list for future Murfreesboro stays.
