KaylaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Wowzers!! What an exceptional pink and gold home! We were pleasantly surprised at how beautiful and clean this home was. It is exactly how it looks in pictures and felt very comfortable and homey. The backyard was a beauty and very flat for good entertaining and games. I would HIGHLY recommend this home for a stay in Memphis! Everything I'm the home matches down to the cutlery and lamp shades! It was a super cute and comfortable stay for a couple of tom-boys :) .

Refined 2 BDRM Self Check In - Prime East Memphis

BethRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Angela's place was very convenient for our trip. We were only there to sleep, as we were attending a conference. We did have difficulty with the thermostat, as I think it was programmed to get very cold during the night. I would suggest you ask the host how to set it to stay at a certain temperature if you don't want it to get cold during the night. Overall the place was clean, comfortable, and very convenient to the interstate.

KieraRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Wonderful place. Wonderful location. Wonderful host. Brian let me do an extended stay here for an internship/ job I had in Memphis. The entire time he was extremely kind and attentive. At one point, he even brought me a space heater just in case the actual heater wasn’t enough for the Winter cold — the actual heater was perfectly fine though. The house was extremely stocked with living supplies, and everything looked exactly like the pictures. Overall a great stay and great host.

SuperClean Retro Cutie Guesthouse

Kelly And JoeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Sarah’s place is delightfully clean and well organized. The pops of color throughout and comfortable furnishings allows one to enjoy their time within the cottage. Since the location is off the main streets, it’s quiet at night for a sound sleep. Our car was just “small” enough to fit in the parking spot. I found it worth squeezing by the car into the cottage to keep it off of the main streets. I would happily stay again.

Big River Crosstown Bungalow

I've always enjoyed staying at Nancy's; this was my fourth time. Airbnb needs to create a new term for hosts of her caliber - maybe "Extraordinary Host" would be appropriate. She has improved this place with a new huge TV in one of the bedrooms and a new fence in the backyard.

AmyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had such a great stay at this Memphis home! From the moment I arrived, everything felt welcoming and well thought out. The place was spotless, stylishly decorated, and had all the little touches that made it feel like a home away from home—plenty of clean towels, bed linen etc. it was super easy to get to downtown, Beale Street, and other Memphis attractions. I really appreciated how communicative and helpful the host was throughout my stay—they made everything seamless from check-in to check-out. Whether you're visiting for music, food, or just some Southern hospitality, I highly recommend staying here. I'd absolutely book again next time I'm in town!

Responsive and friendly host. A unique, quirky place to stay that was safe even though its outer appearance may look different. The apartment has a boho, hippy vibe with unique and fun decor and furniture. Cathy, the host, was accommodating and let us bring our pup with no worries. Her and her husband were nice to talk to in person and over the Airbnb app. We would definitely come back to this place.

One of my favorite AirBnb stays! Beautiful old house, tastefully updated, kept spotlessly clean. Loved the location — safe quiet street, walking distance to Overton park and Cafe Eclectic, and Midtown to the south. Comfy beds, spacious common areas, good amenities, sweet screened porch. Great host communication, easy check in and out. Thanks for the wonderful visit!

Your guide to Memphis

All About Memphis

Located along the banks of the Mississippi River, Memphis is America’s musical mecca, where enduring ties to blues, soul, and rock ‘n’ roll linger at every turn. Music lovers from all over the world make the pilgrimage to the holy altars of Graceland and Sun Studios, birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll. And when it comes to honoring its past, the Tennessee city packs in some great music museums, including Stax Museum of American Soul Music, Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum, and the Blues Hall of Fame. For an immersive way to learn about the American Civil Rights Movement and its legacy, the former Lorraine Motel, forever etched in the collective consciousness, is now home to the National Civil Rights Museum, featuring displays and exhibitions that span five centuries.

The pulse of the city, Beale Street, hums with activity and entertainment. Live music spills out of the restaurants, bars, and nightclubs and onto the neon-lit roadway. The city is known for its Memphis-style barbeque and is brimming with local eateries and restaurants serving succulent, distinctively smokey, pit-cooked delights. For some downtime, take the short drive to Shelby Farms Park, a lush oasis spanning 4,500 acres of scenic greenery and open space with more than 20 lakes, where you can fish, kayak, paddleboard, and chill out. The park also offers 40 miles of trails for walking, hiking, and cycling.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Memphis

Memphis experiences four distinct seasons. Summers tend to be long and hot, while winters are typically short, cold, and rainy with little snow.

September hosts 30 Days of Opera, a month-long event featuring free opera performances at festivals, parks, and opera houses. In October, the River Arts Fest features hundreds of artworks from regional and national artists displayed along the Mississippi River.

Come spring, some of the area’s most beloved events — a barbeque cooking contest, riverside race, and music festival — span the entire month of May. Summer welcomes many famous musicians to Memphis for live concerts and music fests.
