This woody retreat was such a nice change from some of the sterile places we have stayed in. The walls are covered in fun, colorful artwork. The main living area is comfy and bright with a woody view. Kitchen was clean and well stocked. Hosts left some goodies, which was a really nice touch. Four nice bedrooms and a great TV area equipped with a pool table and space to play games and enjoy family. Definitely had a feel of being in the mountains. Not far from downtown Franklin where we found excellent restaurants and entertainment areas. The hosts responded quickly.

Perfect Thanksgiving Retreat

Everything about this property was wonderful! The home and land were stunning, plus we had everything we needed to pull off a full Thanksgiving feast. We also loved the privacy of the setting while still being only minutes from shopping and restaurants. Our stay was simply perfect.

Wonderful stay at Chris and JD’s Hilltop Escape

We had a very peaceful relaxing stay at Chris and JD’s home. The theater room downstairs was super comfy and we were able to watch my old favorite movies in honor of my 50th birthday. The kitchen is very well stocked. The family is super communicative and sweet. We loved our stay.

Daughter's Wedding

We rented this property for our family as we were in town for our daughter's wedding. The house was beautiful and we were all very comfortable. Chris and her husband greeted us at the house and showed us where things were and how they worked which was very helpful. There were many things supplied that were were so appreciative of. We loved and used the firepit as well. It was a wonderful to stay here.

Great property, lovely owners

We needed to rent the property out for a video production over a couple of days. Both owners were not just understanding and helpful, but genuinely interested in our project and making the production as easy for us as possible. They were delightful to speak with, great communicators, and went above and beyond for me. Highly recommend.

Home Away from Home at Christmas

We had nothing but a wonderful experience with this booking. The owners were so hospitable and even left us apple our and ice cream to welcome us to the home. They put up and decorated a Christmas tree and staged some wrapped empty boxes to add to the experience for our Home away from home at Christmas.the driveway is definitely steep so prepare for that but the view and home were just perfect! Our dogs loved the walls around the property and I particularly loved the artwork and the coffee time on the balcony! Literally 5 minutes from Loveless Cafe! Would definitely book here again.

Beautiful home

House is beautiful without a doubt. Overall we had a great experience. A couple small things.. the house is on a massive steep hill. I think it is important to disclose that on the description of the listing. Sometimes people have medical situations that make steep hills harder to get around OR just making sure you bring the right vehicle to get up the hill! It is kind of like a roller coaster going up and down. One more thing, in the master bedroom there was some kind of bugs in the tub. It’s in a wooded area, but maybe just spraying for bugs or preventing them would be good! Other than those couple things the house is beautiful. Hosts are nice and helped us when the internet went out. ( not their fault.. fault of the internet provider) They called and got it fixed asap!

Wonderful Home and Host!

Spent almost 2 weeks here with my family as we were looking to possibly move to the area. It allowed us to experience the possibility of owning a larger piece of land and spending time as a family outside. This house doesn’t disappoint!

Top of the hill Franklin Tennessee

Really enjoyed our stay. We were close enough for all that Nashville has to offer but also has a get away from it all! Owner was easy to deal with and we had great communication. House was large enough for us to have our own space. We were a small group of three but house would handle eight or more guests. House was well maintained butcould use a little bit of upgrades. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and the piece and quite of this home!

Tranquility on the hill

We had 9 of us come from all over the US to be together for Thanksgiving. It was so wonderful to have the space we needed to spread out but also come together for fellowship. Worked out PERFECT for us and the view out the windows is breathtaking. Chris and JD were excellent hosts with such wonderful spirits. We will definitely be back.

Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home. It was perfect for a family get-together. This place is very well stocked and the owner left us a homemade baked pie! I would recommend this to anyone. Also, thank you for the kind "90" balloons for my dad's birthday. Nice special touch.

Beautiful home with breathtaking views all around

This was a Christmas getaway vacay with family meeting us half way in the middle. We were greeted by The Wises with homemade pie and full tour of the house. It was well stocked with everything we needed. The house does have older appliances that needed some finesse to use ( the washer gets stuck in between cycles) but nothing that put a damper on our trip. The artwork is beautiful. Location of as exactly as we had hoped for - mountain life but close to the necessities. We thoroughly enjoyed this stay!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Wise

Host profile image
Hi. We are Don & Chris Wise. We have been married for 50 years and have made Middle Tennessee our home of the last 30 years. JD Wise (Don) is an artist and his works can be found throughout our home and exclusively at Nina Kuzina Gallery in Nashville. He is also a Dove-nominated producer.
Chris is a decorator, loves to sing and is mother of 3 and proud grandmother of 6.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the property because it reminded us of a year-round retreat. We have had artist, authors, editors, song writers and vacationers all spend quite a bit of time brainstorming, creating and just plain relaxing here.
There are plenty of deer grazing the property (they think it's theirs), as well as whippoorwills, squirrels, owls, and turkeys.
Our favorite thing is to sit under the bright stars at night with a glass of wine and tune into relaxing music.
We know you will enjoy the peace and quiet as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

20 minutes to Downtown Nashville, 12 minutes to Historical Downtown Franklin, 1.5 miles to the Natchez Trace bridge, and only 4 minutes from the world famous Loveless Cafe!!
