Germantown Inn

Top choice in Nashville

LoginSave

Germantown's oldest house, a shoemaker's cottage dating to 1865, has been flipped into a charming 10-room inn steeped in local design. Exposed brick and natural light are abundant throughout the cozy hideaway. Rooms in the main house feature original hardwood flooring and fireplaces, customized wallpaper, Frette linens, and funky graphic portraits of past presidents with Tennessee connections by local graphic designer Caitlin Mello.

Rooms in the newly outfitted Carriage House are dedicated to important women in history, and are pet-friendly. Local Steadfast coffee is served and you are within walking distance of Germantown's long list of amazing restaurants and bars. Oh, there's a rooftop patio and rates include breakfast, too!
