A Little About Your Host

​I moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 2006 for music and fell in love not only with the city, but with my husband Keith as well! My idea of a perfect afternoon involves anything from a book and a cup of coffee at home to traveling somewhere far away to discover something new.

In 2016 we built a guest house in our backyard to rent on AirBnB.  We absolutely fell in love with hosting and are proud to have welcomed over 700 guest reservations at our 12 South Carriage House.  In the Spring of 2022 we decided to expand our little rental family by adding a cabin in the Pigeon Forge area and thus the The Sweet Retreat was born.  We've already made some memories here and we know that you will too!
We have both traveled extensively for work and leisure so for both our properties we have tried to distill all our favorite hotel and guest-house experiences into well-stocked and stylish-yet-cozy spaces so each guest enjoys the comforts of home...even though you're on the road.  I still remember the kindness various hosts have shown me over the years and I hope when you look back on your trips, your time here will stand out as one of your favorite travel experiences.  

​I'm proud to have earned the distinction of being an AirBnB "Superhost"  for over five years and hope to continue hosting at the highest standard for years to come.  In the summer of 2021, I was honored to be named the "Most Hospitable Host" for the state of Tennessee by AirBnB.  I look forward to hosting each of you on any of your travels to Nashville or Pigeon Forge.

"...We wanted to say thanks for a perfect stay! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So convenient to everything and accommodations are perfect!   Sized just right for couples..." - Jeff & Tina
