Perfectly peaceful

My friends and I were looking for a place to reconnect and relax for a weekend. Firefly Cottage was the perfect peaceful getaway for us. It was comfortable, clean, and full of thoughtful touches. The cozy and inviting atmosphere was exactly what we were hoping for, and the porch-sitting time was the restorative experience we needed. We enjoyed our time there and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Four sisters stayed in the Firefly Cottage for a few days in March 2026. The cabin is adorable, bigger than it seems online, very clean, decorated very cute, and is well stocked with all you need. The screened in porch was our absolute favorite spot. The cottage is close to some hiking trails, the Natchez Trace parkway, Franklin, and beautiful drives through the countryside (check out the enormous houses. ). Amber was a delight to deal with and very responsive to messages. if we ever return to the area, we will certainly book our stay at the Firefly Cottage.

Thanksgiving in the forest

We were hosting our of town family for Thanksgiving and found this great, cozy cabin in the woods right near the Natchez Trace parkway. It was very clean and had everything we needed to host a Thanksgiving meal (except a big pot to make mashed potatoes 😉). The location was tranquil and close to hiking on the Trace. It was also convenient to Franklin and any store we would want/need.

World Series

We stayed here because our daughter was playing softball in the World Series in Fairview. The owner was very responsive with anything that I needed. The house has a nice layout and was very clean and nicely decorated. It’s not too far from Nashville and has a beautiful view from the porches.

Nashville

We had everything we needed and then some. We cooked a few breakfasts, and used the screened in porch. The tv took us a while but eventually figured it out. A couple went downstairs to the bottom deck and they loved it!! Said the chairs were way more comfortable. I never went upstairs but my girlfriend said it was nice. We enjoyed it very much and Amber was a big help with questions we had about Nashville. Would definitely stay again. My only complaint is we are old all over 65 and it was hard to get out of the living room chairs lol

We loved the Firefly Cottage! It is secluded but yet so close to everything. We absolutely loved the screened in porch- it was so relaxing to sit out there & listen to all the sounds. Such a relaxing atmosphere. The house was so clean & had everything we needed. We will definitely visit again.

Of all the vacation rentals I’ve been to over the years, Firefly Cottage was our best experience. Everything was cap well cleaned you feel at-home. Appliances worked well and the furniture was comfortable. The setting is peaceful- every window looking out to woods. Our kids enjoyed the selection of board games during dinner preparations. We absolutely would re-book firefly cottage!

About the host

Hosted by Amber Wagner

Host profile image
We are Tennessee transplants from Colorado and have grown to love the area of Franklin and Nashville. We love exploring and experiencing all this area has to offer. From festivals, amazing food and music, to spending time outdoors and listening to incredible music, there is nothing we don't love about Franklin!

What makes this property unique

Firefly Cottage is a secluded sanctuary nestled in the woods. You can escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse yourself in the peaceful serenity that surrounds our enchanting retreat. As the sun sets and the fireflies dance, you'll feel a sense of tranquility wash over you, allowing you to truly unwind and reconnect with nature.
You can spend your time lounging on the cozy screened-in porch reading or enjoying a glass of wine or cup of coffee or head down to the lower porch, turn on the string lights and play a game and watch nature walk right by you.
Or step inside and discover a haven of comfort and charm, where every detail has been thoughtfully curated to enhance your stay.

This location is unique because it is secluded enough to allow you escape from every day life, the convenience of modern amenities is 10-15 minutes away. Kroger is 10 minutes away and downtown Franklin is a 15 minute drive.
