Loved this house. Easy to get to and only 30 minutes from downtown Franklin. Another couple of minutes and you would be on Hwy 64. The decor is what you see on VRBO - rustic and very well made. The side tables have a USB and regular plug- in built into the top - so convenient. The beds were comfortable but they are pretty high. If you are short, you may want to bring a step stool (I didn't look around to see if any were in the house).The ice machine works in the freezer. The living room was so comfortable to relax in at the end of the day (2 individual recliners and the couch also had 2 recliners). It was lovely to have breakfast on the deck. There was ample parking for 3 cars - could have fit a 4th if needed. We didn't use the basement game room but it looked like a lot of fun.
Very spacious and clean house in a great location! Not too far from town but feels secluded. Saw lots of deer from the back porch. Fully stocked kitchen with everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!
