I was on the fence about reserving for next fall. The country charm and friendliness you wont find at this place anymore. People are rude and have attitudes. I know everyone has a bad day. I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I reluctantly reserved a year in advance again. Apparently there policy reads they will charge 50 percent... More

We just returned from our annual trip to Nashville, IN and being with the family. Once again we stayed at the Artist Colony and had wonderful accommodations. The food was very good and the people there make your stay a pleasure. I never moved my car once while there, so it was very relaxing and we had everything within walking... More

My husband and I have been coming to this inn for 3 years now. We come about 4 times a year...once every season summer, fall, winter, spring. It is pricey but if you email the lodge they do have specials, usually Sunday through Thursday. We have stayed for the same price as a Days Inn. The restaurant serves delicious food,... More

It's such a charming place from the outside, it's no wonder we expect it to be a great Inn. It tries to insert some of the local personalities of the early 20th century into the country charm of the inn. They also have chosen the Amish country furniture style for several of the rooms. Unfortunately, the spirit of the decor... More

Felt like an Amish Bedroom. Minimal furnishings. No frills. To me it was nothing special considering the price. The only benefits were the restaurant below and that it was located in the heart of Nashville. The bathroom lacked counterspace and we had the room with the corner balcony that was about as big as a shower stall. One stay there... More

We have been coming up every year from East Tennessee to gather for a family outing with Indiana relatives. Artist Colony Inn is a great place to stay. We get the room on the second floor with a balcony.

Had a wonderful weekend at Artist Colony Inn. Very busy weekend in Nashville, yet they were very accomodating. Rates are a bit high, but loved the room, large and spacious, like being in a bedroom and not a hotel. The restaurant was very good, loud and noisy but it was expected for a weekend in October. If someone is bothered... More

Checked into room 311, a two room suite. The room was nice but tired. The location of the room was on the third floor of the adjacent building and the elevator only went to the second. We had to carry our luggage up stairs to the third floor. In the room we found the bathroom floor dirty and the toilet... More

We visited Artist Colony for dinner one night and after being seated by the hostess, we immediately left the restaurant. We rarely do that because it is embarrassing to walk out like that, but we could not stand how loud it was. The acoustics are horrible...banging dishes and talk from all over the restaurant. We were tired and didnt want... More

Just a warning if you are thinking about going a note about room 202. If you like small rooms, on a noisey corner, with a tiny tv that you can only see from one part of the room and if you like sleeping on concrete that is the room for you. There are no box springs on either one of... More

The Artists Colony Inn prides ourselves in doing all we can to insure the comfort of our guests. If the mattress is an issue, we have other rooms that we can move a guest to in order to make the stay more comfortable. The Front Desk staff indicated there was no complaint either written or verbal when the guests left... More
