Downtown Franklin is a vibrant blend of historic preservation and modern sophistication.

Perfect small town getaway!
We had an absolute wonderful stay at this property! The location was perfect—close to downtown Franklin, but still quiet and peaceful. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches the host provided, like stocked spice cabinets, plenty of towels, games, books and yoga mats. My favorite parts were the two separate living groom areas and reading/ exercise room that overlooked the neighborhoods. Communication with the host was seamless. They were responsive, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed for a smooth check-in and enjoyable stay.This is one of the best VRBO experiences we’ve had, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to friends and family. Thank you for a fantastic trip!

We had a nice stay in this home that was in close proximity to the main square. We only stayed one night, but enjoyed the peace and quiet of the community. If you like history (as we do), you can explore the site of the Battle of Franklin just a short distance down the road.

Charming historic home
Our family stayed in the Blakely’s Stone Cottage for two nights and it was perfect. We are local to the area and needed a place to stay during a move. The house was exactly what we needed. We were able to bring our two dogs and our whole family relaxed for two days while we waited for our new house to be ready. The house is historic and has been lovingly updated. The historic charm has been preserved while allowing for modern updates. It was clean and comfortable and had plenty of space for the 6 of us. The host was very responsive and kind. This would be a perfect spot to come and explore Franklin and rest at the end of the day.

Wonderful Stay
We had an amazing time staying in Blakely’s Stone Cottage. It was very convenient to downtown Franklin. The hosts were amazing and kept in contact with us making sure things were good throughout our stay. Of course the house is historical, but on the inside it had all the comforts of a newer home. Very clean and nice. We would definitely stay there again!
