About this property

The Magic Tree Haus: A Creekside Getaway

Looking for a tranquil getaway?! Look no further than The Magic Tree Haus! It’s a fun, quirky house with its own backyard creek to splash in!

As you pull up, all you will hear is the rustling creek! A perfect, peaceful place for all your relaxing needs!

Sip a cup of coffee outside! Dip your toes into the creek! Roast a s’more at the fire pit!

Close to downtown Franklin, you will still have access to all your major needs but feel like you’re in your own private escape! Upon entering the cabin, you will enter the main living area! On the main floor you will find the living room, kitchen, sunroom (with a modular couch that can turn into a bed), a bedroom with a queen bed, a full bathroom, and a laundry area! The kitchen may be small but should have all the essentials you will need! 🛏️ 🥘 🛁

Walk up the stairs into the loft! The loft has a futon, an old school tv and VCR for nostalgia, and plenty of books to relax with! Upstairs is also another full bathroom and a bedroom with 3 twin beds! 📺 📚

There is a large deck with your choice of outdoor seating! A patio table and chairs for dining or an outdoor couch for lounging! ☀️

An outdoor fire pit with seating is perfect for chilly nights, roast some marshmallows and enjoy the outdoors! 🔥

Enjoy just listening to the creek or find the entrance to dip your toes in! The kids will love playing in the water and looking for creatures! 💦 🪨

We had a wonderful stay! This home was perfect for our family of six, with plenty of cozy spaces for everyone to relax and enjoy. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, and the beds were comfortable. Our kids loved playing in the creek, and we made great memories roasting marshmallows around the fire pit. The home itself is so cozy and beautifully decorated, with thoughtful special touches like games, books, and VHS movies that added so much charm. The sunroom was a huge hit and the perfect hangout spot for our teens! Overall, this was such a welcoming, comfortable home with so much character. We would absolutely recommend it to other families!
