The location to this place was great. It was a five minute walk to town, the Lotz House and Carter House. The decor was very cute the bed was comfortable. Having said that, for a short woman who does her hair and wears makeup, the mirror in the bathroom didn’t work at all. I had to use a chair and put it on the window sill to make it work. We ran out of body wash and the bleach pods to wash the towels and we had to use our phones hotspots for the Internet.

Location was fantastic, and we were able to walk downtown even in the below-normal temperatures for February in middle TN. . Adorable cottage vibe with an retro Franklin theme and nicely decorated throughout!We had unseasonably colder temps that made the cottage feel chilly most of the time as the heater struggled to keep the cottage warm. I would also add that some of the window treatments could add a few more curtain panels for better privacy on one side, and the parking space was sufficient but a little tight for our mid size pick-up truck. The front entry lock works but was a little finicky for us at times, but this surely could have been due to user error on our part. Overall we loved the charm and location and would recommend the Bluebird Cottage to anyone!

We arrived later in the night. With the rain and darkness we felt the walkway and entry could have been better lighted. We were happy with furnishings, bed, TV etc.Driveway entry is narrow for our midsize SUV. A large SUV would have problems. We were unable to get Alexa to operate but that was not a problem for us.We intend the above comments to be constructive and not intended to discourage future customers.
