Cute blue bird cottage
Great location, really cute garage converted to a country cottage. Matching robins egg blue appliances. Comfortable bed. Plenty of hot water, and towels clean space. Safe. Cozy. Easy to Come and go using combination door. Drive way bumped bottom of car, No wifi signal, two kureg coffee pods, no sugar or cream for two people staying 3 nights, confusing directions for Alexa lamp, no bleach pods supplied to follow laundry directions, grass and bushes needed trimming especially near driveway.

Pleasant experience.
Thankfully my stay was pretty much seamless. Upon entering was just taken by how adorable the overall look was exactly as pictured in listing. I checked in later in the day so the ambiance with the lights & soft classic music playing the background was simply magical for me. It’s cute, quaint and beautifully done. Basically like a hotel stay since there’s no actual kitchenette but I was just fine with that being for the weekend & utilizing local fare.

Our stay was for an event in Franklin, the lighting of the Christmas better and Matthew West Come Home for Christmas event. The location was perfect, walking distance to most of the event with a lovely neighborhood. It is so refreshing to be in a safe, kind and comfortable considerate community

Location is great!
Loved the cottage! The location is great - walking distance to so many things! As mentioned, parking is definitely tight. Seems like it would be an easy fix to remove the foliage and widen it a bit. Didn’t realize their was a main house rental, too. Our neighbors were very nice! Would definitely stay here again!

Convenient
The property was very convenient for everything I had planned. I could walk or drive to downtown Franklin for shopping or having dinner. I loved the vintage interior of the property. Will stay there again sometime.

Skip This Place - I have photos to prove it!
Disappointed. Small brush trees are so grown out , if you try to squeeze in the “hidden” driveway , it will scratch the paint on your vehicle. Cobwebs present, the mattress was lumpy, the bathroom had mold at bottom of shower. Only one wash cloth present . Air conditioner could not cool the little cottage - it was at best keeping it from just being outright hot. This might all be ok for a young college student looking for a cheaper place to stay I guess, but if you and your spouse are looking for a nice place near downtown Franklin, we would say keep looking and skip this one. It’s a quaint looking little place, but with all the issues, could never recommend anyone I know to stay at this VRBO.. Franklin is far too nice and a lot of fun to stay at a place that needs some investment and help

You should take time to read this:
Well, the property itself is very cute, that is where the benefit of the stay ended. The parking is nonexistent so don’t drive anything bigger than a very small SUV, the owner will say how close it is to the residence because it’s basically an alley that you can barely get your car in. The outside looks nothing like the pictures, it is overgrown with mosquitoes and weeds. The air-conditioning did not work, and I had to leave because it was so hot in there. I took the owner more than four hours to reply to my request about air conditioning and when I finally gave up and stated, I would just report this, she told me she would have the AC company come out to give a statement of working order. Additionally, the Internet did not work, which wasn’t really a big deal, just another thing. The biggest problem is the communication with the owner. I am certain she will reply to this post, because she defends her wrong choices. At every turn. She is rude and disrespectful, she is underhanded and refuses to accept any wrongdoing and always blames everything that could possibly have gone wrong on the client. While other seem to have had a nice stay, that was not my experience. I would proceed with extreme caution— the owner is a horrible person and treats people like they are stupid and incapable of operating air conditioning and Internet reception. As a business owner myself, it is bad practice to consistently tell your client that they did not follow instructions. I did.

Disappointing
We felt like we had booked a cute little studio cottage within walking distance to historic downtown that represented the overall vibe of Franklin with an outside sitting area and nestled little cottage. This property has not been kept up at all. The “hidden” driveway is barely room for a compact SUV and is very overgrown that some simple yard grooming couldn’t fix. It was a chore to make sure our rental car didn’t get all scratched up by the overgrown bushes and trees each time we used the driveway. The fire pit area was a mess with all four chairs pretty dirty. There was overgrown greenery straight across the only door you use to access the cottage. I took pictures of all of this with video if anyone disagrees. Inside the cottage was cute and decorated with a vintage feel. There was absolutely nowhere for any clothes you might need to get out of the suitcase and hung up. No dresser and no closet. The curtains do not cover the windows at night in the kitchen and in the bathroom when you shower you have to hope you have the curtains angled right. I am only 5’5” and could see right out into the driveway while showering. The only nice thing was the location is definitely within walking distance everything else was a disappointment including the uncomfortable mattress. Pick somewhere else, we will next time we’re back in six months.

Quaint Cottage
We really enjoyed Nanci's quaint cottage. It was a real perk being able to walk to downtown. The decor was very pleasing and comfortable. Perfect for two! Parking is tight as mentioned by other guests so we took our smallest vehicle and had no issues.
