Music City is always a good idea. Creativity runs deep in Nashville, where residents and guests enjoy world-class museums, theater performances, and, of course, live music. But the city is also in the epicenter of Tennessee’s culinary scene, with hundreds of new restaurants popping up in and around Nashville in the past few years alone, transforming it into a food lover’s mecca. And, of course, you can’t leave without exploring the many distilleries producing some of the best whiskey and bourbon in the country. And if you’re not a fan of strong spirits, then you’ll appreciate Music City’s bustling craft brewery scene, indulging patrons in everything from classic Pale Ales to hard ciders. Finally, there’s the sheer joy of walking down Broadway Street in downtown Nashville, admiring the eclectic blend of neon signs, honky tonks, and historic architecture.
And if that isn’t enough to make you want to book a trip, we put together a list of our favorite Nashville Airbnb rentals — each stands out with unique amenities and character. From Taylor Swift and Dolly Parton-inspired stays to sleek modern houses with panoramic views, here are the best rental homes in Nashville.

This home has a magazine-worthy décor that you won’t get tired of looking at — art installations, striking wallpapers, custom furnishings, and modern amenities.
