The Caroline House was our first experience at a Bed & Breakfast. The hospitality, service, kindness & cleanliness made our stay feel like we were home away from home. And the caring attentive nature of Ashley, Michael & Teresa made the experience a memorable one. We couldn’t thank them enough and can’t wait to go back.

Caroline House Nashville

This is more like home than a B&B! A beautiful, welcoming and detail oriented atmosphere that is totally accommodating. From the fresh ground local roasted morning coffee on the front porch, to a midnight snack on the quaint back porch after taking in everything Nashville. Loved experiencing three (3) different meal vouchers at our own pace in the order we chose. Thank you so very much Ashley and Michael, we feel blessed to have experienced your fabulous space!

Amazing On Many Levels!

After spending time researching hotels, air b&b's, etc... we decided to give the Carolina House a try. I'm so glad we did! What an amazing property. We have stayed at b&b's all over the world but nothing like this. Ashely & Michael's approach to the concept of a bed and breakfast is quite clever and in addition it supports their local community which is high on our list. The house is easy to find and located in a quaint neighborhood. Upon entering we were greeted by Ashley who gave us an overview of the property. Such a beautiful home that is tastefully decorated. We chose The Coal Room which gave us luxurious sleeping quarters but also additional space to relax, read and spread out. In the mornings we were greeted with the smell of coffee, which is roasted nearby, and then headed off for our breakfast. Each morning you use a coupon that is provided by the Inn to have breakfast at one of the local restaurants. This was a fabulous way of trying different things and each place was amazing! You are walking distance to each of them which allowed us to feel more like a local by learning the area. The coffee at each place was also really nice. ( I consider myself a coffee snob!) On top of all of that every night we came in, there would be some interesting treat left on the bar for the guest. Each night it was something different. We felt like kids on Christmas morning going in to see what Ashley and Michael left this time. Lastly, we loved seeing their dog Desi. Desi is well trained and not intrusive. I sat out back at times and she would come to say hi and then lie quietly. When in Nashville again, I know now that research is not needed to find the best place to stay. I will come back to the Carolina House Inn. Amazing stay, amazing owners and definitely one amazing property. The new spin on bed and breakfast is here!

5 Star Inn in Nashville

Ashley and Michael at The Caroline House Nashville were very gracious, welcoming hosts. They helped make our visit truly special. The Inn is convenient to local restaurants, coffee shops and shopping. After delicious coffee at the inn in the mornings, we were able to easily walk to breakfast at the recommended local breakfast spots (paid for by The Caroline House). Parking in Nashville is quite a challenge so we left our vehicle in the provided parking at The Caroline House and used Uber or Lyft for the short trips to get to dinner or downtown attractions. Save for one or two trips to sites that were several miles away, we left our vehicle safely parked at The Caroline House from Monday to Friday. Our room accommodations were lovely, quiet, and inviting. This was perfect for a stress free getaway! Both Ashley and Michael were gracious hosts who were extremely helpful in suggesting local sites, events and the best local restaurants. We heartily recommend The Caroline House Nashville for a great B&B experience in Nashville!

Beautiful, comfortable B&B near Nashville

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at the Caroline House! Every detail was perfect. The house decor is lovely and comfortable and spotless. We loved hanging out on the back patio at night and appreciated having access to the kitchen and the drinks in fridge. Being able to walk to different local restaurants for breakfast was great. We especially liked Box Bongo Bakery. I had the most amazing coconut cream coffee and smoked salmon bowl. And we enjoyed petting sweet Desti, when we were mission our own Golden Retriever. Great location too---an easy Uber or Lyft ride downtown.

Outstanding!

Very beautiful location just minutes away from downtown Nashville. Walking around the neighborhood was relaxing and very safe. Local coffee houses and restaurants were fun and provided a variety of fabulous food (all within walking distance)! Our hostess and host were very accommodating and knowledgeable about Nashville and where the must-see places were. They also provided excellent transportation tips. Ashley and Michael had good senses of humor and were very warm and insightful. The inn was very beautiful and very comfortable. We would definitely stay at the Caroline House again and will recommend it to others!

Great home, neighborhood, service and southern hospitality

We stayed at Caroline House last month on a weekend trip to visit family and see our son perform after his week long piano camp at Belmont University. What a great place to stay! Outstanding customer service from the hostess, Ashley. It is like staying at home away from home. Beautifully restored home, immaculately cleaned, with interesting memorabilia throughout. The beds and linens are 1st class. We love staying in historic homes over hotels. The neighborhood is great with several choices of great breakfast, lunch and dinner restaurants within a few blocks for the house. We will be back to stay again on our next visit to Nashville. Thanks for the warm southern hospitality.

Wonderful Nashville Getaway

My 19 year-old son and I decided to take a three day trip to Nashville on a whim. I am glad we booked at Caroline House. I am a TripAdvisor reader, and this B & B had great reviews, which made me book. Ashley and Michael were perfect hosts, and the house was spotless (I am a clean freak!). My son and I stayed in the Coal Room, which was the entire downstairs. It had 2 queen beds, a sitting area and TV, a pool table, and a wonderful walk-in shower. All of the arrangements exceeded expectations. The one thing I especially loved (because I try to stay B & B whenever I can) was the fact that breakfast was off site whenever you wanted to eat. Usually, you have to get up to eat by 9 or 9:30, but we got up around 10 every day and ate at our leisure. I loved the stay and the little things that Ashley thought of, from wonderful sheets and duvets to a simple noise cancelling machine. We never heard a step from the upstairs or even the shower running! It was truly a great stay!

Caroline House

We considered a downtown hotel but so glad we stayed at Caroline House. Its location was perfect...walking distance to great restaurants and an easy uber ride to the downtown area. Michael and Ashley were great hosts. We loved waking up to a pot of hot coffee, and appreciated the wonderful breakfast recommendations provided by the host. Finally, Michael and Ashley were so well informed about Nashville. That guided us to great experiences during our anniversary weekend.

Trip with Mom

My Mom and I stayed for three days and had a wonderful time relaxing and catching some of the sites around town. Our hosts have this game down cold. The attention to detail is perfect. Always innovating and trying to do better when they have already succeeded. We lacked nothing and had everything at our fingertips. The best juice, coffee, cookies, sheets, showerheads (worth the trip) and so much more. They were always full of surprises. Sample bottles of vodka, chocolate, cookies. The breakfast tickets to local breakfast places hit the spot. We would definitely stay here again and could not recommend them more. They also comped us a dinner but won?t admit it!

Fabulous B&B

My husband and I stayed in the Rose Master Suite for 4 nights in June, 2018 and couldn't be happier with our choice. After booking, we received a wealth of pre-stay information on the property and recommendations for attractions and restaurants. Ashley was very welcoming upon our arrival and a very attentive and friendly hostess during our stay. We enjoyed our conversations and the additional information she willing provided regarding the various neighborhoods, etc. We felt like we made a friend! Loved Desti, our furry four legged friend. There were many little touches during our stay that made a big impact....a large locally made candy bar left in our room one day, Jack Daniels and wine for a Friday night happy hour, Whisper Creek Tennessee Sipping Cream left out for a night cap or cookies for a bedtime snack. The photos on the website are exactly what the property looks like inside and out. Our room was on the main level and very well appointed. The bed was very comfy with fabulous linens. Nice plush robes were provided. Noise from other guests or the neighborhood was never an issue. We sat on the front porch a few times and relaxed with a nightcap on the back covered patio sofa several nights after returning from long days of sightseeing, eating and drinking. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. The location is excellent. Close Uber ride to Broadway and all the other attractions. Never waited more than 4 min for an Uber to arrive. We loved that we could walk to the many restaurants and shops in the 12South neighborhood. The tokens to eat breakfast at local establishments in walking distance is not only an awesome idea to support local business, but is very generous. We highly recommend staying here. Thank you Ashley, Michael and Desti!

Shhhh!!! This Nashville's best B&B...the Caroline House Nashville Historic Inn

My wife and I stayed at the Caroline House Nashville Historic Inn on 6/1 - 6/3/18. Our stay was outstanding from the moment we arrived to departing. Ashley and Michael are excellent Innkeepers. Plus Desti! The Inn is absolutely beautiful. The Caroline suite was perfect. Ashley and Michael have created an amazing Inn. We look forward to staying in the Inn's other suites and sharing the Caroline House with our friends. The Caroline House is close to Broadway (Honky-tonks), Ryman Auditorium, The Hermitage, and is in close walking proximity to many excellent local restaurants in 12South. Uber / Lyft cost to Broadway is approximately $12 each way. Definitely worth it. The Inn?s Suites look exactly like the website photos. Shhhh!!! We'll be back soon and will definitely stay at the Caroline House Nashville Historic Inn.

Southern charm at its best

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Caroline House Nashville. The hosts did a great job highlighting local businesses and interest points and making us aware of what was in the area in general. The location is great. Within walking distance of shopping and eateries on 12th Street and downtown Nashville is a short drive away. Every evening, upon our return to the Inn, we were greeted with either a snack or beverage, again highlighting local offerings, which we loved. We highly recommend staying at Caroline House Nashville

Southern hospitality at its best!

We stayed at The Caroline House and enjoyed every minute. Ashley and Michael have truly found their calling in hosting. We felt welcome from the first minute meeting them until our departure. Their house has every amenity imaginable plus more! Beautifully decorated yet very comfortable. We discovered many interesting restaurants, coffee houses, shops and entertainment upon their recommendations. The neighborhood felt very safe and was fun to explore while walking or driving. Michael and Ashley are both well versed in their neighborhood, Nashville and the surrounding areas. A small detail that was appreciated was the ability to correspond during our stay via text messaging if needed. Ashley even texted us after we left wishing us a safe trip home. We have to mention Desti, the family pet. As a non-pet person, I have to confess that she is a beautiful dog and she was so well behaved and friendly, and I felt very comfortable around her. Desti shared our evenings on the restful back porch. We have already recommended their lovely home to friends and talked to other friends about making another trip to The Caroline House with us. Our sincere thanks for our great time. We look forward to being a repeat guest. Penny & Richard from Indianapolis, IN.
