Graceland Getaway! Let’s Go Girls house!

KellyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We loved celebrating my daughter’s birthday at Sean’s beautiful home. The house is so nice and open, with large rooms, tall ceilings and windows. Our girls had a blast singing karaoke and having their slumber party all upstairs while the moms hung out and slept in the nice bedrooms downstairs. Highly recommend this rental for a girl’s weekend.

Walking in Memphis

AllisonRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We chose this house because of location, the floor plan, and the price. We had a party for family and the house was great. The kitchen is about the best appointed one we've ever had. It's a full kitchen. The house is exactly as pictured and described. The bed in the master bedroom is very comfy. Plenty of towels, extra blankets. Diana is a great host, very responsive and helpful. She had some snacks, coffee, and bottled water for us. It's a very comfortable house and we really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay there again.

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. The fall and spring months boast pleasant, cool temperatures, a great time for booking your Memphis vacation rental. The city has a packed annual calendar as well. 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.
