About this property

Cottage on the park.

Come enjoy all midtown has to offer in our newly renovated carriage house apartment directly across the street from Overton Park, the Levitt Shell, the Memphis Zoo and the Brooks Art Museum. This charming apartment has a fully stocked kitchen, private washer dryer, brand new bathroom, and accent wall dividing a comfortable living space from a cozy bedroom. We're located on the only street in Memphis that faces Overton Park, and close to the great night life and restaurants of Overton Square.

The space:
Our cottage is the ideal spot for those looking to enjoy an amazing season of free concerts at the Shell, our city's wonderful zoo, and all of Memphis' great events in a safe & quiet atmosphere. We're available as needed in the main house to make your stay as enjoyable as possible, and our newly renovated cottage has been lovingly updated with all the comforts of home.

Along with the fully stocked kitchen, washer dryer (with detergent) and easily adjustable heat/air unit, we've also provided a new TV with Sling and Roku - allowing access to a wide variety of popular channels for your viewing pleasure.

Guest access:
We will be in touch with each guest to review the details of check in and check out procedure. You will have sole access to the cottage, and on street parking, which is generally ample.

Interaction with guests:
We will be available throughout your stay to address any issues or needs, but want to give our guests privacy and space.

The neighborhood:
Cottage on the Park is located in a safe, sought-after area of Midtown directly across from Overton Park. Overton Park is a 342-acre public park which contains a nine-hole public golf course, the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, the Memphis Zoo, the Memphis College of Art, the Levitt Shell, Rainbow Lake, Veterans Plaza, the Greensward, two playgrounds, and the 126-acre Old Forest State Natural Area. The Brooks Museum of Art is the oldest and largest art museum in Tennessee, and the Memphis Zoo is one of the highest ranked zoos in the US. The Levitt Shell is where Elvis first played and holds more than 50 free concerts a year at its outdoor amphitheater.

Rhodes College, The University of Memphis and Christian Brothers University are also in close proximity.

This Cottage is also very close to all of Memphis’ downtown attractions where you will find the world famous Beale Street, Sun Studios, Peabody Hotel, the Gibson Guitar Museum, the Fed-Ex Forum where the Memphis Grizzlies play, the Redbirds Baseball Stadium, and the largest Bass Pro in the United States, located in The Pyramid overlooking the Mississippi River.

Getting around:
Street parking is generally abundant, and we are very close to all of the great restaurants and night life of midtown.

Other things to note:
In a nutshell, this is a brand new cottage in the city's best location - providing a wonderful home away from home for any guest!

Cold carriage house

Hosts very pleasant but forgot we were coming. Had to wait in cold car while host checked house changed sheets and turned on heat. It did not warm up until midnight. But was always cold. Over an unheated garage and cold oozes out of baseboards. Great location nice kitchen, no where to put suitcases but living room floor. It was inexpensive and ok.

Perfect Place

I stayed at 5 nights while in Memphis for a visit with my son and his family. I wanted to give them space but be close by and this was the perfect place for me - it was quiet, safe, comfortable, bed was great, internet was fast and had all the conveniences I needed. I was able to have food on hand for stacks, dried out my clothes when I got caught in the rain and was able to work part of the time. I had originally been looking forward to being able to utilize the nearby park but unfortunately I was recovering from a shoulder replacement and did not get to take advantage of all the area had to offer. I hope to come back again so I can!

Can't imagine better

Spectacular location in a quiet neighborhood across from the zoo, art museum, and a park but just a few minute drive to everything. Check in/out was very easy and the place was clean and comfy. Places like this one are why we use VRBO.

We had a wonderful stay and can't wait to return. We loved being able to walk to breakfast, the museum, and ride bikes in the park. Our hosts were wonderful and accommodating. This is the perfect little spot for a getaway in Memphis! It's definitely a hidden gem!

So quaint and quiet

We absolutely luved the property! We were able to walk to the zoo and aquarium! We walked to the music in the park also! We were in a central location to lots of shopping, food, places to visit. The owners are very helpful and kind. They shared a few things with us to make our stay perfect. Having washer and dryer on site made packing nice and light. We would luv to return to this property

Great birthday/anniversary getaway!!!

Jordan and Geer’s apt was very cozy and comfy. We absolutely loved the location. So close to many Memphis favorites with an extra plus with Overton Shell hosting another memorable concert. A favorite band!!! All arrangements were very easy. Such a nice calm atmosphere in the neighborhood!!! Planning to come back soon!!

Quiet Sanctuary Away from the Busy Bustle

We had a great weekend. This location provided us with a perfect retreat from a stressful professional life. Right across from Overton Park, Brooks Museum, Levitt Shell, and the Zoo! Perfect driving distance to a lot of great places to dine and drink. We had a great weekend.

Time with spouse before conference

We had 3 days in Memphis prior to a weeklong conference. We chose to stay in midtown as the conference was downtown. The location across the the street from walking trails,art museum and what turned out to be an exceptional zoo was perfect. We did not have a car. Several restaurants were close. Ecco being close was a great choice. Cafe Society also close was expensive and a disappointment. Other restaurants a bit further away 30 minute walk to Overton Square were great. Would highly recommend staying here.

Fantastic Location & Great Place

This was a fantastic property and even better location. We came into town for a wedding and everything was very nice. The house and accommodations were clean and we had everything we needed for our short stay. Bed was nice and comfortable and house was tastefully decorated. Location was great. Safe and central location in a beautiful area of Memphis. Will definitely stay here again if we visit Memphis again in the future.

A Wonderful Stay

This cottage really is perfectly located, especially for visiting our child at Rhodes. We were minutes away from all the fun things both downtown and in Midtown, and the zoo is just outside the front door. It was very comfortable and clean, and was equipped with everything we could possibly need. It also felt really private like we truly had our own space. We definitely plan to stay here again! One note -- we couldn't get the fan in the living room to turn on, but it was so cool, we didn't need it anyway. (And very easily could have been operator error.)

Stellar and casual

Don’t be jaded by “downtown”. A stay at Overton park is the go-to spot in Memphis with lot of designer houses in a desireqble neighborhood. We had a great time walking to restaurants for dinner,walking for Gatorade in the AM, and walking to a workout in the park (for free) with Cardi-o. The guest house was private and quant and exactly what you would expect. Enjoy your stay in Memphis by Overton park

Great rental in a great location

We were in town for a concert at FedEx Forum. We wanted a convenient location away from the the downtown Beale Street hubbub. This was perfect! A beautiful neighborhood of stately, older homes in Midtown. The Brooks Art Museum was just a short stroll away in Overland Park. The apartment itself was clean, modern and comfortable. I highly recommend this listing!
