Reserve the whole house



The whole house, just for your group
Picture everyone together under one roof: coffee on the front porch in the morning, long conversations in the sitting room at night, and no one heading back to a hotel across town. When you reserve the whole house, Sylvan Park Boarding House becomes your group’s own place in Nashville for a few days.
All eight suites of our 1910 home are yours, with room for up to 18 guests, along with the sitting room, front porch and front yard. Out back, the courtyard is shared with our neighbor Tantísimo, which makes a group dinner or brunch easy. We’re in the Sylvan Park neighborhood, about 4 miles from downtown.
Company offsites & retreats
Bring your team somewhere that feels nothing like a conference hotel. Leadership retreats, offsites and recruiting visits stay together in a private house, with a private bath in every suite, breakfast together each morning and the front porch to unwind on at the end of the day. The house works best as your team’s overnight home base. The sitting room is cozy and suited to casual conversation, so larger meetings and workshops are best held at a nearby venue, all a short drive from Vanderbilt, West End and downtown.
Plan an offsiteWedding-party stays & celebrations
The ideal place to house your wedding party. Keep the bridal party, family and the people you love under one roof for the whole weekend: everyone wakes up in the same house, breakfast is waiting, and the stories from the night before get told on the front porch. The buyout is lodging for your group, so your ceremony and reception will need their own venue. It’s just as lovely for family reunions, milestone birthdays and anniversaries.
