Because it's surrounded by woods, we enjoyed sitting on the deck and using the propane fire pit while enjoying a bit of nature. The house was clean and comfortable. It's a bit tricky the first time you go in the driveway, but once you do it, it's easy!

Ignore the weird signs in the bathroom that say This is Towel.. no clue what it means but they appear to be towel racks.. and there is no sign pointing to the road where the cabin is located.. once you are up the hill take a right in front of the house at the top past the tree then it is up on the left. Cute place once you find it.. on a good note I met the neighbors!

Sorry for your confusion regarding the bathroom towel sign. The sign is for multiple guests to write their names on Post-it notes and place them on the sign. This is (Jeannie's) towel. Instructions are in the kitchen next to the comment card, along with Post-it notes. In the directions I sent you for the road to the home, I noted to follow the blacktop road all the way to the house.

The house was super cute, clean and exactly what we were looking for. We were in Franklin for a memorial service, so we weren’t able to go out exploring the surrounding areas, but enjoyed our stay. Very easy check-in and checkout.

The house was very accommodating. Nicely decorated and had everything we needed to make us feel at home. Would recommend it to anyone. Private and secluded, yet close to town and everything. If we had an issue, the owners were most responsive.

We love staying at this home. It’s clean, comfortable and cute. We have an event that we come into town for, so unfortunately we only sleep there. Would love to have more time to really enjoy it.
