Cozy, cute cottage with a perfect location to downtown Franklin but still very private. Everything is in walking distance. The owner is amazing and very helpful. This was our second time staying here and will definitely be back again.

Loved the cottage! Kitchen, bathrooms, everything was pristine. The close walking to downtown was fabulous and we walked to shops, Franklin Theater and several great restaurants. Sat outside downtown listening to music while enjoying ice cream and candies.

Wonderful, Cozy Getaway

This place was in a wonderful location. Just one block away from the downtown square. The rental house was so roomy, cozy and beautifully decorated. The host was very friendly and gave us some restaurant recommendations. Would definitely recommend this place!

Cute neighborhood; house needs work

Overall our stay was sufficient for what we needed. The cottage was in a nice neighborhood, walking distance from food and shopping. It was quiet at night, away from city noise. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had the normal amenities. The house needs some updating including routine maintenance and more deep cleaning. We had several mishaps that were inconvenient, one late at night and the host had sent her phone directly to voicemail. Also, we were stuck in the house during a parade that went down the street in front of the house; we were not told about this until it was too late to move the car. I suggest checking out an events calendar or asking the host specifically if there is anything going on during your stay.

Sister Getaway

The location was perfect for us! We were able to walk to most of the things we wanted to do in Franklin. We even walked to The Factory on Saturday for the farmers market. Susan made the checkin, stay, and checkout all pleasant and easy. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others.
