Family & Pet Friendly Home away from home -MTSU: 2 miles, Sports Complex: 4.5 mi

Welcome to the Summit Haven Retreat! Modern living only 2 miles from MTSU and a 29-mile commute to the Nashville International Airport! Bring your family and fur babies*, and enjoy the quiet and convenience of our quaint, family neighborhood. All the conveniences of home and central to all the great shopping and restaurants that the Boro has to offer. Luxurious bedding with super comfortable mattresses for that much needed R&R after a long day of Nashville fun! Blackout and near blackout curtains throughout for late sleepers. Fast broadband internet with free wifi during your stay. We have an electronic lock which also makes it easy for last minute reservations. Summit Haven Retreat is a private duplex w/shared back yard.

*Pet Stay Fee is $15/Night/Pet
We do have a pet crate policy for this home. When dogs are left unattended we ask that they remain in their crates. If you don’t have one, let us know in advance and we can provide a clean crate for $10 per day rental. We also request that the dogs stay off the furniture and beds. We (and future guests) appreciate your compliance with our pet policy.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

Exceptional Cleanliness
* Frequently called “spotless,” “super clean,” and “the cleanest rental we’ve stayed in”
* Professionally cleaned and carefully maintained every stay

Unmatched Comfort
* Extremely comfortable beds with quality linens and pillows
* Many guests say they “slept better here than at home”
* Cozy, calm atmosphere that’s perfect for unwinding

Truly Pet- & Family-Friendly
* Pets are genuinely welcome (not just allowed)
* Low beds (queen bed only), safe layout, and space that works well for kids
* Guests say their pets “felt right at home”

Thoughtful Extras That Make a Difference
* Coffee bar and welcome snacks
* Extra towels, blankets, and pillows
* Fully stocked kitchen with everything you need
* Washer & dryer for longer stays
* Backyard space for relaxing evenings
* Fire pit and grill (weather permitting)

Quiet Yet Convenient Location
* Peaceful neighborhood guests describe as “quiet and relaxing”
* Minutes to MTSU, downtown Murfreesboro, shopping, and restaurants
* Easy access for events, work trips, and family visits

Responsive, Caring Hosts
* Known for fast communication and flexibility
* Guests repeatedly mention feeling “taken care of” and “well supported”
* We’re proactive and quick to resolve anything that comes up

Good to Know Before Booking (Clear Expectations)

We believe great stays start with transparency:
* This home is part of a duplex / multi-unit property, meaning another rental is nearby.
Most guests say this did not affect their stay, but it’s important to know in advance. The design is brilliant! The bedrooms are on the outside walls, with adjoining wall bordering only the kitchen and dining room.
* The fire pit may be shared or accessed by another guest on occasion.
* The layout reflects the character of the home—some spaces (like a half bath) are compact, while the full bath is spacious and well-appointed.

Ideal For
✔ Families

✔ Pet owners

✔ Longer stays

✔ Visiting MTSU, Seigel Sports Complex, or local venues

✔ Guests who appreciate comfort, cleanliness, and care over flashy luxury

From the moment you arrive, it feels welcoming, calm, and thoughtfully prepared—like a true home away from home. Whether you’re traveling for work, visiting family, relocating, or enjoying time with pets and kids, this space is designed for comfort, rest, and ease. We take pride in creating a space where guests can truly relax—and we’d love to host you!

We had a wonderful stay at this property! It’s close, but not too close, to MTSU. Lots of shops and stores nearby. Everything was incredibly clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully prepared for guests. The beds were especially comfortable, which made it easy to relax and feel at home. We also appreciated the extra touches, like the light snacks and even towels for our dog’s feet after being outside; such a thoughtful detail!The owners were very responsive to messages and provided excellent check-in and check-out information, which made the entire stay smooth and stress-free. It’s clear they put a lot of care into making guests feel comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

This property was perfect for our Murfreesboro stay. Very clean and comfortable. Everything was well-stocked - we had everything we needed and more. Brought our puppy and she settled in like home. We appreciated that reasonable pet fee. Jonathan's communication was amazing - he answered our questions immediately! Nice, quiet neighborhood. Great location - short distance from anything you want or need.

5 Stars – A Perfect Fall Break Getaway! We had such a wonderful stay at this lovely home during our quick Fall Break vacation! It truly felt like a home away from home. The house is located in a quiet, charming neighborhood and was just minutes away from all the activities we came to enjoy in Murfreesboro. From the moment we arrived, we noticed how thoughtfully stocked everything was—bottled water, snacks, seasonings, plenty of dishes, and even all the essentials for the fire pit! There were more than enough bath towels, extra bed linens, and the soap and other basics were fully provided. One major plus: the AC worked perfectly—which is always a relief! We also really appreciated that there wasn’t a huge cleaning fee. We didn’t mind tidying up ourselves—it felt more personal and respectful of the space. Overall, this home was clean, cozy, and extremely well-prepared for guests. Excellent place to stay—we will absolutely be back again! Highly recommend!

Quiet retreat for family

Our family had a relaxing place to go during the holiday fun. AC works great. Neighborhood is pleasant. Dana and Jonathan have done a great job setting up a beautiful stay. We only needed groceries and luggage. Everything else was there. I will recommend this to my family and friends visiting middle Tennessee.

Nice say in Murfreesboro

Nice cozy property, good location, comfortable beds with room darkening curtains so you sleep very well here. The property owners were there when we arrived installing a new TV as the old one had broken. Very friendly and welcoming. We don't watch TV but I'm sure plenty of guests would appreciate having a TV. The property owners are very responsive and want to make your stay a good one. If you are in Murfreesboro we recommend this property, you won't be disappointed.
