Columbia Apartments

On Valentine’s Day 1945, a south Georgia born boy and a young Sicillian woman from Wisconsin, met across a hotel lobby in Milwaukee. He, a classically trained violinist and she, an elevator operator with poems in her heart and stars in her eyes. It was love-at-first sight and they wed that night. To get by in between gigs, young and starving newlyweds wrote songs that they sent off to everyone in Billboard magazine. Their first hit, Country Boy was being performed by Little Jimmy Dickens at the Grand Ole Opry as they pulled their dilapidated trailer and two baby boys into Nashville’s Rainbow Trailer Court. Boudleaux and Felice Bryant went on to get 800 songs cut, including hits such as Bye Bye Love, Wake Up Little Susie, Rocky Top, and All I Have to Do is Dream. As Nashville’s very first professional songwriters, they have been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Nashville Hall of Fame, and the Georgia Music Hall of Fame and have garnered dozens of awards. Felice and Boudleaux are no longer with us but their legacy, love story, and music lives on.When their son Del and daughter-in-law Carolyn decided to open a unique loft vacation rental, their first priority was making it luxurious, homey, and dreamy - a home away from home.

TWO LANES GUESTHOUSE is officially open to the public! This jaw dropping, 2nd floor walk-up apartment (no elevators) is located above a bike shop on the Columbia Town Square in a historic brick building that dates back to 1857. Only 45 miles south of Nashville, the loft features high ceilings, exposed brick, unique architecture and plenty of historic charm and is definitely worth the drive. The loft’s best feature may be the 13 ft windows that over look the square and the gorgeous 1905 courthouse, from which you can hear the clock in the tower on top of it chime every hour... Talk about WOW factor! Measuring 1100 luxurious square feet, this loft has recently undergone a dramatic restoration by none other than Mike Wolfe of American Pickers. Featuring a playful mix of Wild West and Americana furnishings and decor, you can feast your eyes on unique, one of a kind pieces - many of which Mike has pulled out of barns and sheds across America. This is the first time that fans of American Pickers will get to see picks from the show presented as decor! Enjoy the collection of vintage denim and handprinted leather motorcycle jackets, 130 year old bicycles hanging from the ceiling, vintage signs and even a mint green 1951 Vespa! Hop on and pose for a Instagrammable worthy moment and share with your friends and family! Walk out the door and you’ll discover an original downtown with a vibrant Main Street, bordered by the Duck River. Referred to as “Muletown” for the long standing tradition of “Mule Days” - an annual weeklong celebration going on in Columbia since the 1930’s, community pride and southern tradition run deep here. This fast growing Tennessee town is a year round destination filled with delicious local restaurants, great shopping, craft brews, plenty of art and history and a good live music scene. Don’t miss out on a celebration of small town, Main Street America at it’s very finest. Enjoy Two Lanes Guesthouse and the Columbia Town Square for your next getaway!
