Fabulous house!

The Chester is an incredible property. The location is fantastic; practically on Vanderbilt's campus! The house has tons of room (3 queen bedrooms, plus a huge bedroom on the third floor with 2 queens and 2 twins), all of the amenities you could want, and it is just as charming as can be. We were a family of 9, and we had plenty of room for everyone. The hosts are fantastic as well. I hope we can stay here again!

Just Right for a Reunion!

This was a reunion of 5 friends who met 45 years ago at Vandy. The Chester was a great location for us as we walked around campus, drove downtown and drove to Franklin. Easy parking on site and easy access to the interstate. Home was a perfect size for our needs.
