72 hours in Nashville

Great house with a superb layout for a large group. Location convenient to everything in Nashville. Just be aware there is a lot of traffic noise-planes, trains and automobiles! The hosts provide snacks and beverages which was lovely to see after a long day of travel. First time in Nashville, would definitely stay here again!

Our Stay in Nashville

Our stay was fantastic! The place had everything we needed and the extras, like candy, wine, paper products, shampoo, etc. were great! My only suggestion is ask your cleaning service to vacuum under the beds and couch and the Mr. Coffee pot was broke. I really don't want to sound like I'm complaining though. Your place was great and i would definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by John Oden

Hi, This is John, and my lovely wife Ellen ☺

We are your fun loving hosts at Heidtke House!

I often joke with others that I am one of the 12 born-and-raised Nashvillians that still live in Nashville!

I grew up on a farm in Nashville TN. Raising horses, goats and going to fairs to show our Shorthorn cattle has occupied my earlier years. I am currently managing IT in a software company which has an office in the Tampa Bay Area. When I am not pounding on the keyboard, I involve myself in renovating houses, gardening, cooking, and entertaining friends and family.

My wife Ellen was born in China, a true city girl, her interests are more into fashion & Electrical Engineering. She came to the states to research high-voltage transmission, but I really think she came here to find me and my secret BBQ recipes ☺

We love to travel together and have been to Beijing, Hong Kong, London, Vancouver... Everywhere we go, we try to stay away from hotels, staying with locals is way more interesting.

Nashville is a very southern but also culturally diverse city, it offers amazing food and cultural experiences from across the globe. There are wonderful cultural events (many for free) and restaurants to explore.

As a true local Nashvillean, I would Love to connect you with your special interests. We are available to interact with you as much or as little as you like. We love our city & community, and can’t wait to share it with you and help you have a fantastic visit to Nashville!

Why they chose this property

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Nashville, the Donelson neighborhood stands out as a truly distinctive destination itself. With its unique blend of charm, culture, and convenience, Donelson offers an unparalleled experience for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the essence of Music City.

Donelson is known for its eclectic atmosphere and diverse array of attractions. Renowned for its culinary scene, the neighborhood boasts a plethora of award-winning restaurants that cater to every palate. From Party Fowl's fiery Hot Chicken to Food Network-featured Phat Bites, and local favorite Edley's BBQ, Donelson showcases the most unique of Nashville's culinary traditions.

Beyond its culinary delights, Donelson offers a rich tapestry of experiences to explore. Spend days in the world-famous Opryland Hotel, then shop at Opry Mills. The Lane Motor Museum is known for its European automotive collection in the U.S., and delve into rich history at President Andrew Jackson's home in Hermitage.

One of the most compelling features of Donelson is its proximity to Nashville's iconic attractions. While situated just a short distance from the bustling downtown core, Donelson offers a tranquil retreat away from the city center's pace. Enjoy the best of both worlds, immersing in Nashville's vibrant scene before retreating to the peaceful ambiance of a Donelson home.

Moreover, Donelson's central location provides convenient access to a wealth of entertainment options and outdoor adventures. From exploring nearby parks to indulging in live music performances, you'll find activities to fill your days and nights.

What Ellen and I love most is its sense of community and hospitality. Unlike impersonal hotels, Donelson lets you experience Nashville like a local, forging connections with friendly neighbors. Whether attending a festival or sharing stories over coffee, you'll feel the welcoming atmosphere.
