The Two Walk-to-Broadway Rentals

3 BR · 2 full + 2 half baths · Sleeps 6 · 3,200 sq ft · 3-story · Rooftop view of downtown · Hope Gardens / Downtown / Germantown — walk to Broadway

The MCM flagship. A three-story, 3,200-square-foot boutique home in Hope Gardens with a rooftop view of the downtown Nashville skyline, three real bedrooms, 2 full + 2 half baths, and finishes that lean high-end residential rather than short-term-rental generic.

Why it wins downtownOne of only two homes in the Music City Magnolia portfolio that walks to Lower Broadway (the other is Southern Charm). Rooftop view of the downtown skyline means you can watch the city from your own home instead of paying for a hotel-bar view. Ideal for a group of six who want space, style, and location.

4 BR · 2.5 BA (2 full + 1 half) · Sleeps 12 · 2,028 sq ft · Hope Gardens / Downtown / Germantown — walk to Broadway

The larger of the two walk-to-Broadway homes. Four bedrooms, sleeps twelve, and sits in the same Hope Gardens pocket as Mockingbird — a short flat walk to Lower Broadway, Bridgestone Arena, the Ryman, and Nashville Farmers’ Market. Built for bachelorette weekends, family reunions, birthday trips, and multi-family conference stays where everyone wants to be under one roof.

Why it wins downtownThe biggest walkable-to-Broadway home in the portfolio. Sleeps twelve — enough space for two families or a full friends group without splitting into two rentals or paying for a suite block at a chain hotel. Same neighborhood, same walk to Broadway as Mockingbird, but with double the beds.

Which Downtown Rental Fits Your Trip?

  • Group of 4–6, want the flagship + rooftop view: Mockingbird
  • Group of 7–12 (bachelorette, family reunion, multi-family): Southern Charm
  • Conference at Music City Center: either works — both are a 15–20 min walk or 5-min rideshare
  • Bridgestone Arena concert or Predators game: either works — both are walk-to-Broadway, which puts you a few blocks from Bridgestone’s front door
  • Titans game or Nissan Stadium concert (walk across the pedestrian bridge): consider Cumberland Retreat or Deacon’s House on the East Bank instead

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there vacation rentals available in downtown Nashville?
Yes. Music City Magnolia has two boutique vacation rentals within walking distance of Lower Broadway, Music City Center, and Bridgestone Arena — Mockingbird (3 BR, 2 full + 2 half baths, sleeps 6) and Southern Charm (4 BR, 2.5 BA, sleeps 12), both in the Hope Gardens / Downtown / Germantown pocket just north of the Ryman.
Are there vacation rentals near Music City Center?
Yes. Mockingbird and Southern Charm are both about a 15–20 minute walk (or 5-minute rideshare) to Music City Center — the perfect base for conference attendees who want a full boutique home instead of a chain hotel. Both homes are in the same walkable pocket north of the convention center.
How close are these rentals to Lower Broadway and the honky-tonks?
Both Mockingbird and Southern Charm are on foot from Lower Broadway. Walk down, honky-tonk hop, then walk back to a real bed in a real neighborhood — no rideshare surge at 2 AM. They’re the only two boutique properties in the Music City Magnolia portfolio that walk to Broadway.
Are these vacation rentals walkable to Bridgestone Arena and Nissan Stadium?
Mockingbird and Southern Charm walk to Bridgestone Arena (Lower Broadway is right next door). Nissan Stadium is a short rideshare or a longer walk across the pedestrian bridge — if walking to a Titans game or Nissan concert is the priority, look at Cumberland Retreat or Deacon’s House on the East Bank instead.
What makes these different from a downtown hotel?
You get a full boutique home, not a hotel room — real kitchens, full living rooms, laundry, and enough beds for the whole group under one roof. No resort fees. No parking fees on top of resort fees. And a design-forward, hosted-by-locals feel instead of chain-brand generic.
How many guests can each downtown rental sleep?
Mockingbird sleeps 6 across 3 bedrooms (2 full + 2 half baths, 3-story home, 3,200 sq ft, rooftop view of the downtown skyline). Southern Charm sleeps 12 across 4 bedrooms (2 full + 1 half, 2,028 sq ft) — ideal for a bigger friends group or two families sharing.
Are pets allowed at the downtown Nashville rentals?
Not at Mockingbird or Southern Charm. Music City Magnolia’s dog-friendly homes (Hydrangea in East Nashville, Magnolia in Crieve Hall, and Rocky Top in Midtown) are all a quick rideshare from downtown.
Can we book direct instead of through Airbnb or VRBO?
Yes — booking direct at musiccitymagnolia.com gets you the lowest rate straight from the source, with no Airbnb service fee and no VRBO service fee. Same home, same hosts, better price.
