Hows Manor - Luxury Historic Farmhouse Circa 1840

Built by Rasa Hows, this farmhouse was erected in 1840 and has been lovingly updated from then to this more modern fresh now. Think luxury meets refined Americana. This home is situated on 10 acres with stables and plenty of outdoor entertaining areas for the whole family or fun friends. We're on the National Historic Registry. Folklore suggests a Civil war skirmish fought on the property, to Frank and Jesse James whisky brewing... even a still under the house during prohibition supplying moonshine to Al Capone.

* 2 miles from the newly opened Ford Center Bellevue Ice Skating Rink where the Preds practice and where the Scott Hamilton figure skating school is housed.

Kayak and canoeing just down the road at Narrows of the Harpeth.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hows Manor. Jeff met us there when we arrived to give us a little history lesson about the estate. The size of the house was perfect for our group of 8. We enjoyed spending time out on the patio/courtyard in the evenings. The welcome basket was a really nice touch. We plan to stay there again next year.

Great Nashville Getaway

This property is expansive with 10 acres available to explore. Yard games available and plenty of space to enjoy family time outdoors. The home itself is historic, quaint, spacious and well cared for. The host is available quickly for any questions. Great dining room with space for meals and games. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would recommend, and will likely return.

Friends Reunion

Hows Manor was a great place to get together with friends. We enjoyed sitting on the outside patio after a day seeing the sights of Nashville. There was plenty of room for watching tv or playing board games in the evenings. Jeff told us the history of the Hows property and was very helpful with recommendations of restaurants, music venues and historical sights.

Beautiful and Calm

This is a wonderful house, decorated beautifully. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked. Everything that could be done for our comfort was done. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful place to spend our family reunion. The back porch was the perfect place to drink your morning coffee. I will continue to think of this place.

This is an amazing property. The owners have done an outstanding job of presenting this house online, but experiencing it with its period relevant decor, enhanced with the proper modern day. amenities was spectacular.The outdoor areas were equally pleasant and added to our stay. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves in a private secluded garden/ yard area as well a nice comfortable porch overlooking the former stables and property. In addition light walking exercise around the five acres was a joy. Highly recommend The only small disappointment was occasional periods of local traffic but it was short lived. All in all a wonderful visit and we hope to return

Girlfriend Reunion

Four college girlfriends from the 1960’s gathered for a reunion, choosing Nashville because a fifth friend lives in the area. The 1940’s farmhouse exceeded our expectations in furnishings-updated and comfortable. The back porch was our “go to” place for conversation and board games while enjoying the ambience and authentic farm views. We will return!

Beautiful old historic house

Jeff was great, very helpful during check-in and during our stay. There was plenty of space for our dogs, adequate wifi, and great outdoor space for relaxation. The bed was a little uncomfortable for my liking, but I'm a picky sleeper. My only complaint is that the refrigerator and freezer were not cleared out or clean, and we really needed the space as we were there for an extended stay, and it would have been nice if it was clean too. All in all, we would stay here again. Thank you Jeff!

Charming, Convenient and Historical

Our family had such a wonderful stay at this historical house in West Nashville. Feels like you are away from it all, but so convent to grocery, services and entertainment. Jeff is a thoughtful and responsive host. The home was decorated for Christmas and we felt like we were transported to an old American novel while we played games in front of the fire. Great outdoor features as well. Look forward to another stay in the future. Enjoy!!

UK College Girlfriend Reunion

We love the property, the house and land. This is our second visit and we will stay again. Just one comment, the lighting in the upstairs right side bedroom is inadequate for reading in bed. There are two downturned desk lamps that do not reflect any light onto the bed for anyone wanting to read in bed. Otherwise, just perfect inside and out!

Staying at Hows manor was amazing, the history speaks for itself. This Manor was more than I expected. The manor is beautifully decorated and has everything you need for your stay. Jeff met us and explained everything about the house and also gave a history lesson, which was great and very much appreciated. We spent most of our time outside, which was very quiet, this was a wonderful experience.

Hows Manor

Definitely a one of a kind property. Although our party was in town for a funeral service, being in this house and on the property gave us all a sense of being "Home". Jeff was very thorough in the details he puts into each room to give it that feeling of comfort without being stuffy, This is an absolute "would recommend" and is a must stay again if the need arrises.
