About this property

A quiet Franklin suite with its own entrance, close to downtown and Cool Springs

A quiet one-bedroom suite above our garage with its own entrance, 9 minutes from downtown Franklin and about 10 from Cool Springs. It sleeps four on a queen bed and a double sofa bed. You'll have 698 Mbps Wi-Fi, a 65-inch Roku TV, a walk-in shower and a kitchenette for coffee and easy meals. Keypad entry and two free parking spaces make arrival simple, and we live on site if you need anything.

We're Jason and Mindy, and this is our home. The suite above our garage is set up just for guests and kept separate from our living space, with its own entrance and its own two-zone heat and air. Guests mention how clean and quiet it is again and again.

WHAT GUESTS LOVE

Our reviews keep coming back to the same things: a spotless suite, a quiet neighborhood that's still close to everything, a queen bed guests often mention for how comfortable it is, and hosts who answer quickly. Guests also mention the roomy walk-in closet, the acoustic guitar and the guidebook of things happening in Franklin each month.

THE SPACE

The bedroom
A queen bed with room-darkening curtains, a reading chair and a walk-in closet with plenty of hangers and shelf space. Extra pillows and blankets are provided, and there's an iron for work clothes.

The living area
The sofa pulls out to a double bed, best for kids or one adult and snug for two adults. There's a 65-inch smart TV with Roku guest mode, so you can sign in to your own streaming apps, plus books and an acoustic guitar if you play. The dining table seats four and doubles as a desk.

The kitchenette
Set up for coffee, breakfast and takeout rather than full cooking. You'll find a mini fridge, microwave, toaster oven, Keurig with coffee, dishes, silverware and wine glasses. There's no stove, full-size oven or dishwasher, so if cooking full meals matters on your trip, our Columbia cottage or a larger home will suit you better.

The bathroom
A walk-in shower with fresh towels, shampoo, conditioner, body soap and a hair dryer.

Working remotely
The Wi-Fi tests at 698 Mbps, fast enough for video calls and large uploads. The dining table makes a comfortable desk, and the suite is quiet during the day.

Traveling with a little one
A Pack 'n Play with sheets is always in the suite.

Staying comfortable
A two-zone ductless mini-split heats and cools the suite year-round, with one unit and its own remote in the bedroom and another in the living area, so you can sleep cool while the living room stays warm. There's also a ceiling fan and portable fans if you like extra air or white noise at night.

GUEST ACCESS

The whole suite is yours. Your entrance is a keypad door into our garage, marked with a Nashville Suite sign and lit at night, and 14 steps lead from the garage up to your door. You can arrive any time between 3 and 10 p.m. without waiting on us. We'll send exact directions, entrance photos, your code and the rest of your arrival steps before you arrive.

Two free parking spaces are set aside for you in the gravel parking area. The parking area can't take RVs, moving trucks or trailers. Our house, garage storage and yard are for our family, but the suite, its entrance and your parking spaces are all yours.

YOUR HOSTS

We live in the main house, so help is close by, but we'll give you your space. Message us through the app any time and we'll answer quickly during waking hours. We've lived in Franklin for more than 20 years, so if you want a dinner recommendation, a good coffee shop or something fun for the kids, just ask. Our guidebook has our favorite local spots and what's happening in Franklin each month.

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BOOK

The suite is 14 steps up from the garage and there's no ground-floor option. If anyone in your group has trouble with stairs, message us and we'll send photos.

The suite sleeps four: two on the queen and two on the double sofa bed. Four adults will fit, but it's snug, so it works best for two adults or a family with kids.

This is our home, so you may see our family coming and going. Ring cameras record video and audio outside our house at its four corners, on the white shed and at both doorbells. There are no cameras inside the suite.

Our two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels live in the main house and have their own fenced area.

Our lawn service comes weekly in mowing season, usually Tuesday through Thursday. Pest control is exterior only, and no service provider will enter the suite during your stay.

No pets and no smoking or vaping inside, with a $250 fee for either. We check for smoke and odor after every stay.

No parties. Quiet hours are 10 p.m. to 8 a.m.

Stays of a month or longer are welcome.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

You're in a quiet residential neighborhood a short drive from both historic downtown Franklin and Cool Springs, so you get easy access to everything without the noise of downtown.

Downtown Franklin is 9 minutes away, with Main Street's shops and restaurants, the Franklin Theatre, Pinkerton Park and GRAY'S on Main. History lovers can spend a full day between the Carter House, the Lotz House and Carnton, all within 13 minutes. The Factory at Franklin, home to the Franklin Farmers Market, restaurants and live music, is 10 minutes away.

For families, SOAR Adventure Tower is 3 minutes away and Extreme Escape Games is 10. Arrington Vineyards is 15 minutes out for a relaxed afternoon, and Cool Springs puts shopping and dining close by.

Franklin hosts big weekends throughout the year, including the Main Street Festival in the spring and Dickens of a Christmas in December, plus concerts at FirstBank Amphitheater. Book early for those dates. Downtown Nashville is 22 minutes away when you want a night on Broadway, and you'll come back to a quiet neighborhood when it's over.

GETTING AROUND

You'll want a car or a rideshare. The suite is in a residential neighborhood, and shops and restaurants aren't within walking distance. Uber and Lyft are easy to get here. Downtown Franklin is 9 minutes away, Cool Springs about 10, downtown Nashville 22 and the Nashville airport 25, all without traffic.

QUESTIONS GUESTS ASK

How many stairs are there?
Fourteen, from the garage up to the suite door. There's no elevator or ground-floor option.

Can four adults stay?
Yes, the suite sleeps four, but two will be on the double sofa bed and it's snug. It's most comfortable for two adults or a family with kids.

No. The kitchenette has a mini fridge, microwave, toaster oven and Keurig, which covers coffee, breakfast and takeout. There's no stove, full-size oven or dishwasher.

Can we check in late?
Check-in is from 3 to 10 p.m. If you're running later than that, message us and we'll do what we can.

Is it walkable to restaurants?
No. It's a quiet residential neighborhood, so plan to drive or use Uber or Lyft. Downtown Franklin is 9 minutes away.

Is it near the interstate?
I-65 is a short drive away for quick trips to Nashville or Cool Springs, and the suite itself sits on a quiet residential street.

Is the Wi-Fi good enough for work?

Do you have a crib?

Yes. The garage entrance is lit at night and marked with a Nashville Suite sign, and we'll send photos of it before you arrive.

There's no cable. The 65-inch TV runs Roku in guest mode, so you can sign in to Netflix, Hulu, YouTube TV or whatever you use at home, and your login is cleared when you leave.

Is coffee provided?
Yes. There's a Keurig with coffee to get your morning started.

Is there a washer and dryer?
Not in the suite, but there's a laundromat nearby. If you're staying a week or longer, message us and we'll point you to the closest one.

How far is the airport?
About 25 minutes by car without traffic. Uber and Lyft both serve the airport and our neighborhood.

Can we stay for a month?
Yes. Longer stays are welcome, and the walk-in closet, iron and fast Wi-Fi make them easy.

Can we bring a pet?
We're sorry, but no pets are allowed. Our own dogs live in the main house.

Where do the hosts live?
In the main house on the same property. You'll have your own entrance and your own space, and we're close if you need anything.

Is there anywhere else on the property for a bigger group?
Yes. We also host a tiny house on the same property, with its own fenced yard, deck and grill. It sleeps four and is listed separately.

Slice of peace near Nashville

Wonderfully comfortable apartment close enough but far enough to Nashville. Located in a private, quiet neighborhood of Franklin. Car is needed to get to where you want to be but a quick and easy ride into Nashville. Franklin is also a great small town with great shopping and resturants. Loved Red Byrd coffee shop in close by Leipers Fork that is a must do for coffee lovers. Will be returning here on our next visit to Nashville.

Sweet Suite

Cute 1 bedroom studio suite. Nice place to stay if you just need a place to shower and sleep. I stayed here with my 25 year old son this last past 5 days while visiting my daughter who recently moved to Springhill. He slept on they sleeper sofa which was a tad uncomfortable but he’s a big guy. The master bedroom bed was very comfortable. Hot showers daily. I’d stay here again in the future.

Convenient location to all the fun Franklin stops. Beautiful subdivision. Shower was smaller than I expected. I’m 5’1 110 lbs and my elbows were hitting the shower doors, but not a total deal breaker. Floor was also wonky, not level and cracked in major walkway. Mostly a cosmetic issue but our socks would catch which was annoying.
