Swordfish Suite is awesome!

If you’re looking for an awesome cozy suite that is located on the best street in historic Franklin then the Swordfish Suite is for you. It’s impeccably clean and very tastefully decorated. Mike and Abby are super friendly and the most gracious hosts. They’ve supplied their suite with everything one would need. We’ve stayed at the Swordfish Suite twice now and are looking forward to more visits in the future.

Beautiful place that is close to everything!

We stayed 2 nights on our road trip. The place was so cute, in a beautiful and safe neighborhood that was walking distance to everything we were interested in. The place was decorated beautifully and well stocked. We had a great time.

Visiting family in Franklin

Having private laundry facilities was a great amenity. Some of the surfaces hadn’t been completely wiped down (crumbs on kitchen table and counter), but that was a minimal issue. Would definitely stay again.

Franklin stay

This property is super cute and despite being a suite over the garage of the primary residence. It still felt private. The property is super cozy and covers all the basic needs. There were some small hiccups with blankets and towels but nothing that couldn’t be solved with the washer and dryer in property.

Everything we expected and more.

The location was ideal. We were able to just walk a couple of blocks to get to downtown Franklin. The property we stayed at was exactly as advertised and our hosts, Mike and Abby, were two of the nicest people you will ever meet. Everything went exceptionally well, and we plan on returning to the area very soon.

husband had Board meeting + spending time with daughter in Nashville

This was truly the best location. My husband had a board meeting and I worked remotely and we hung out with our daughter who lives in Nashville area after we all got out of work. My husband needed a car to drive to his meetings and I was in walking distances to restaurants for breakfast and lunch. the apartment was the perfect size and the separate living room on the main floor was the perfect place to hold virtual meetings! I would highly recommend this location to anyone!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mike and Abby’s Swordfish Suite. Mike and Abby are so kind, thoughtful, generous, caring, etc……simply the best VRBO owners we’ve experienced by far. The suite was absolutely perfect for us. It was very clean, super cozy, comfortable king size bed and wonderfully furnished. Set in one of the most beautiful areas of Franklin, the location is second to none. Can’t wait to return!

We are VRBO regulars and this by far was one of the best stays we’ve had. Abby and Mike were beyond gracious with their time and knowledge of Franklin. They have a beautiful place on their property that was literally 2 blocks from downtown Franklin. We have already told all of our friends about it and hope to stay there again in the future. Thank you again for the personal touch.

We loved the studio apartment! It was so clean and had everything we needed. The owners took great time spending attention on the details. It felt cozy, but there was lots of room to spread out. It was also really great to be so close to Main Street. We could easily walk to restaurants and shops. We will definitely be back! 💗💗💗

Perfect!!!

We enjoyed our stay so much and wish there were more than 5 stars to give. The owner was extremely accommodating and sent several suggestions for activities and resturants. The home was absolutely perfect, clean, and wonderfully decorated. Anything and everything you may need, they had! There were storms while we were there and the owner checked in with us to make sure we were aware and what to do in case of an emergency. We were greatful for that! I just can't say enough, so I would highly recommend if in the area.
