Rich in history, The Timothy Demonbreun House is a tribute to the “First Citizen” of Nashville, Tennessee, Timothy Demonbreun, who was a French fur trader. In 1756 he canoed down the Cumberland River from Quebec, Canada, and established a trading post calling it "French Lick." He became known at that time as Nashville's first white settler. This historic house was named in 2000 to honor Timothy by his great-great-great-great grandson Richard A. Demonbreun, the house’s current owner.

Located just one mile south of Downtown Nashville and Music Row, The Timothy Demonbreun House is unquestionably Nashville Tennessee's premiere Bed and Breakfast.

It was awarded the "2000 Metropolitan Historic Zoning Commission's Architectural Preservation Award" designating it as one of Nashville's most beautiful historic residences.
