Cozy cottage central to everything
We had a wonderful stay. The cottage really felt like home. It is in a great location, central to everything. My husband and fur baby loved the property across the street where they could roam and play. We were not wanting for anything as the cottage had a fully stocked kitchen, bath, bedrooms, and mud room with games, books, and brochures. We would definitely book again.

Cozy Cottage on the edge of Town
This cottage is better than advertised. It felt like a true home away from home. The location was perfect... close to downtown Franklin yet tucked away just enough to be relaxing and peaceful. The cottage was updated and spotlessly clean. The neighbors were all so friendly and the scenery was gorgeous in all directions. We're already dreaming of coming back!

Nice, comfortable little house
I had a lovely time staying at this nicely decorated house. Everything was well thought out and I was very comfortable in this house. I was worried that it might be a noisy place because the house is right beside the road, but it wasn't a busy road and the neighborhood was very quiet. I would definitely consider staying here again.

Special Farmhouse Cottage and Wonderful Hosts
Lovely and comfortable cottage. We were greeted with special dog treats for our little dog and wonderful banana nut bread for us. Second day in Franklin I had a bad fall and then our little dog had to go to vet (on a weekend) local vets closed. Our hosts were so kind - brought food when I fell and also provided information on where to take our little 17 year old dog. We loved the little farmhouse. It was a good place to recuperate. Wonderful, kind hosts.

Great
Everything was great. We enjoyed the ready to go coffee station. Our ten month old loved crawling around. We loved the location. Not too far from Franklin but not right in town.
