The cottage was very cute and cozy. It is beyond pet friendly and the fenced yard is big plus. Loved the two en-suites. Plenty of big fluffy towels and all amenities including blankets and towels for the pups. Nice, quiet location. We enjoyed our stay!

This is everything I wanted my trip to Franklin to be. This place is located perfectly — near Main Street, close to a large grocery store and other tourist attractions including the Lotz House. Wonderful response from the host and so kind to allow pets. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice quiet cul de sac within about a mile walk to downtown Franklin. Very close vicinity to civil war battlefields and museums. Home was perfect for our stay. Property owner is very attentive. If we are ever in Franklin again we would stay here.

Sweet, Comfortable Cottage

My family and our pups stayed at Deborah’s for three nights, and it was a truly lovely getaway. Deborah is a thoughtful and attentive host who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. She generously offered an early check-in (over two hours ahead of schedule) and greeted us with wine, cookies, sparkling water, and a beautifully arranged coffee and tea setup. We especially enjoyed the comfortable beds and quiet mornings spent sipping coffee on the screened porch, listening to the birds. Throughout our stay, Deborah checked in just the right amount, available when needed, while fully respecting our privacy. She even offered a late check-out, which we greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!

Nice home and location

Great location. Clean, cozy and welcoming home. Quiet street. The hostess provided coffee, tea, creamer and bottled water which was appreciated. Comfortable beds. Two full sized bathrooms each with a walk-in shower. Fenced in backyard was perfect for our dog. The space is small but was fine for my husband and I and our 24 pound dog.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Brannan

Host profile image
I'm excited to be your host at Battlefield Cottage. I don't live on the property but I'm close by in Cool Springs. I own a small pottery shop in the historic Factory of Franklin
I adore Franklin for it's friendly people and small town feel. I don't ever advertise this property on Craigslist. If you see it listed there, it is not legitimate.

Why they chose this property

Battlefield Cottage stole my heart the first time I saw it. Located on a safe and quiet street close to everything you would want to do in historic Franklin. It has the charm of an older home but the addition of new bathrooms make it super comfy.
