These Tennessee Airbnbs harmoniously mix music history and creative inspiration.

Neil Diamond, Jack Harlow, Carrie Underwood, and other legends likely sipped coffee here, too.

The atmosphere may be serene, but the walls thrum with possibility.

Im staying atDark Horse Estate, a 1993 private recording studio that hosts three Airbnbs on a 10-acre property.

Several chairs on the wooden porches are customized for guitar playing, making jam sessions even more seamless.

My anxious energy dissipates as I breathe in the sweet Tennessee breeze.

Guests can request tours of the three recording studios on property.

We witnessed artists at work, their passion palpable.

At 15 years old, Taylor Swift recorded her first album here, said Woolsey.

She was like any other young hopeful that records here today, owner Robin Crow shared.

The staff was unaware of the superstardom that awaited the singer-songwriter.

I wondered who might be crafting the next chart-topping hit here today?

Crow performed as an instrumental jazz rock guitarist for the first 25 years of his adult life.

When reality hit that I would never become a headliner, I opened Dark Horse Recording, he said.

The name is based on the idea of emerging as an unexpected winner.

Within a couple years, it played a part in a dozen gold and platinum albums.

Now, thousands of talented artists have added notes to Dark Horses legacy.

Woolsey is in awe of the fact that Partons voice once filled the space now occupied by his office.

Who would have thought an unassuming stay at an Airbnb would drum up so much inspiration?

But thats the quiet grace of Dark Horse Estate.

It subtly radiates a feeling that anything can happen.
