City Retreat: Modern Gulch Pad!

Welcome to Illume, a stylish, modern condo with 2 BR/ 2 BA, a pool, gym, and gorgeous balcony views of downtown in the BEST location! It is a short walk to Nashville’s popular spots, Downtown, the Gulch, Music Row, 12th South, and a short drive to Midtown or East Nashville. Decorated in mid-century modern, this newly renovated condo sleeps 6. Relax by the pool or have morning coffee on the balcony with amazing views, as you plan the day. The city’s best right at your door! :)

We paid special attention to every little detail of this space to make it stylish and interesting, but to give our guests a little taste of Nashville, and of us... a couple who has stayed in vacation rentals worldwide since 1996. What we have done with our condo is what we have come to expect in a short-term vacation rental. Upon first entering, the feeling is one of comfort and curiosity as you discover all of the unique art on the walls, and the special touches that make this place our own. The Nashville photos were taken by a friend of ours who lives here. The Johnny Cash photos were taken by a famous local photographer to the stars -he`s a friend and such a character. The photos in the second bathroom are from our personal travels, and the frog... well, the frog is a favorite of Kim`s and comes from our home. The same goes for the record wall, just a sampling of Kevin`s vinyl selection at home. Every piece in this home means something to us & we hope that special attention to detail makes your stay comfortable and wonderful!

We`re also city dwellers who like to be close to the action, which is why we are offering this particular location. When we travel, we love to feel part of a neighborhood and to feel like we are living like locals. Three of Nashville`s awesome neighborhoods — The Gulch, 12th South and of course, downtown — are within walking distance of our space. East Nashville is short Uber or Lyft ride away. Each area is filled with small shops, bars and eateries that we enjoy and are sure you will too. Our space is also close to some of our favorite live music haunts like the Cannery, Mercy Lounge and High Watt Lounge. If jazz is your thing, Nashville`s premier live jazz club, Rudy`s Jazz Room, is also a short walk away. If you like cigars. Montecristo Cigar Bar is minutes away on foot. Ask for Hutch, he will set you straight on cigars and drinks. Check out our guidebook for our favorite places to eat and drink. Speaking of adult beverages, one of Nashville`s biggest and most diverse liquor, beer, and wine stores, Frugal MacDougal, is just a short walk away. Lastly, Joyride Nashville, which offers a diverse range of party experiences & sightseeing tours for every age group, is located beside our building. Yes, heading downtown on a party bus is as easy as walking to the next-door building. Enjoy the city!

We`ll send you the access code/parking information for our unit on the same day of check-in. Additional information about our lovely home, including address and parking specifics is included in our guidebook, which will be sent to you 2 days before your stay! So so simple.

We are just a message or phone call away.

We are less than half a mile from the Gulch and a little over a mile to Broadway. It is a great, walkable area. The location and proximity to the popular Nashville neighborhoods truly does not get much better than this.

Uber / Lyft are a perfect way to tour around our stunning and friendly city. You are steps away from the Gulch and less than a mile from the Music City Center.

You`ll receive a detailed guidebook 2 days before your stay. Please review this as it contains the address of our home, parking, Wi-Fi information, and what is included with your stay. Please ask us if you have any questions regarding what we provide or information about the condo.

This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $500 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $40 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.

To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.

If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!
