About this property

The best of both worlds

Come enjoy "The best of both worlds". After filling your day with the action of the city retreat to the fresh country air and serenity of this chalet style home, relax on the 1000 square foot deck and take in the best view in town! Sitting on a 63 acre private gated farm on the outskirts of Nashville in the town of Goodlettsville, home of the little league baseball champions of 2012. We are within walking distance of the largest antique district in Tennessee. Rivergate mall, grocery stores and every desired restaurant, historic landmark or shopping experience awaits you within a 5 mile radius. Named after my beloved black and white paint horse "Valentino" who lived to the ripe old age of 30 and reigned over these acres till early 2013. Newly remodeled "Valentino's retreat was once the "early days" home of the iconic Kris Kristofferson. It is loaded with all the comforts of home and some extras! The decor celebrates the spirit of Nashville with music business memorabilia that is from the owner Dana's personal collection. It is 13 miles from downtown Nashville. This is a peaceful place for a relaxing get away it is NOT A PARTY HOUSE.

Beautiful property
The cottage and land were beautiful. It’s close to restaurants, and secluded at the same time. The mini pony and donkey came up to us when they saw we were out. The bathtub was great! The bed reminded me of the memory foam mattress we have at home. The place is decorated nicely and feels comfortable.

Serene setting
This is a cute cottage setting. Dana was quick to respond to questions. The bed was very comfortable. We had difficulty maintaining the heat and the couch was not comfortable at all. Overall, it was a very nice stay. Great place to be if you want to be close to the city but away from the traffic.

Slice of Heaven
Such a cute cottage nestled on a farm with rolling hills, Mozart the mini horse and Jill the donkey, both rescues, come to the fence for some rubs! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Very well stocked, comfortable furniture for tv watching and the bed as well. If don't want to be too far from Nashville, this is the place to stay!

Beautiful county getaway close to Nashville
Very nice and clean cottage with country views, but close to all amenities and activities. The miniature horse and donkey there are so sweet too! Communication was really great. Would definitely stay again!

What makes this property unique

This 63 acre gated farm has the best view in town! As you sit on the 1000 sq ft deck you overlook the city of Goodlettsville. From the deck you also have a nice view of our pond located here on the farm. Our lovey little equine Mozart the miniature horse and Jill the miniature donkey will greet you (watch them they'll try and charm you out of a slice of apple or carrot!) The wild life is an added bonus!
