Hi Crystal, Thank you for staying at our place and your amazing 5 star review! Come back again soon.

Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear our home worked well for your crew and that the number of beds and sleeping areas made it comfortable for everyone — that’s something we’ve intentionally set up so groups can spread out and rest easily. For future guests, traffic conditions can vary depending on the time of day and local events, especially during peak hours. With light traffic, it typically takes about 20 minutes to get to Nashville, and around 30 minutes with normal traffic. During rush hour or major events, travel time can be longer. While traffic itself is outside of our control, many guests find that planning trips outside of peak hours or leaving earlier in the morning makes getting around much smoother. Using real-time traffic apps during your stay can also help with timing and route choices.

Thank you for your fantastic 5-star review! We're glad the home was a perfect fit for your family and that you appreciated the cleanliness. We'd love to host you again on your next visit to Franklin!

Our home is a farmhouse-style property with a spacious layout, comfortable beds, and plenty of room for families to spread out and enjoy—especially the basement and outdoor areas. Regarding cleanliness, we always implement a detailed cleaning checklist with our cleaning and maintenance team to ensure consistency and high standards across every stay. In addition to our standard turnover process, a full deep cleaning of the home was completed on April 7, going above and beyond to ensure every area is thoroughly refreshed and detailed for incoming guests. For the outdoor space, landscaping and lawn care were completed on April 1, including mowing and general cleanup, so the yard is maintained and ready to enjoy. We continue to stay proactive with upkeep so guests can enjoy both the character of our home and a clean, well-maintained environment.

Hi Amalia, We hope you enjoyed your stay in our country escape in Franklin! Our home is thoughtfully appointed and equipped with all of the comforts of home. The charm of the location and this authentic old farmhouse are what make it the perfect location for visitors to the area. We hope to welcome you back to for a future visit!

Hi Dan, Thank you for staying at our place and for your amazing 5-star review! Come back again soon.

We want future guests to have a clear and accurate picture of our home, so we’ll address each concern directly. Our home is a rustic farmhouse-style property, and while it has that older charm, it is maintained with care. Following this stay, we completed a full walkthrough with our team on April 1 to verify every item mentioned. Regarding pest control, service was professionally completed on April 1, and all traps are placed discreetly as part of standard preventative care. The note about the shower door being off track was checked on April 1, and it was confirmed to be fully functional and properly aligned. Bathroom cabinets were also inspected the same day, and none were found to be broken—everything was confirmed to be in working order. We did identify some minor paint touch-ups needed on door frames, and those will be addressed ASAP As for the yard, seasonal lawn care and cleanup (including mowing and clearing tree limbs) were started April 1st 2025. The fire pit is positioned as shown in the listing photos, and the chairs provided for outdoor dining are designed to be easily moved and used around the fire pit as well. Our home is spacious and designed to comfortably host larger groups, and we continue to actively maintain and improve it so guests can enjoy both the charm and functionality of the space.

This guest mentioned many of the things they loved about our home, yet some of the concerns raised are actually part of what makes the property unique or are features clearly described in our listing. For future guests, we’d like to provide some additional context. The basketball area was checked on August 6, and there are two basketball hoops available for guests to enjoy. The game room has one couch, which is part of the current setup and accurately represented in our listing. The game room floor has a rubberized coating, which can feel slightly sticky when walking barefoot, but the floor is clean and maintained that way by design. We also replaced all bath towels with brand-new towels on August 8, 2026. Our home has a smaller kitchen table with two benches, as well as a separate dining area with a large table and six chairs. The kitchen is stocked with one large skillet along with multiple pots and pans. The electric stove was also checked on August 6 and confirmed to be working normally. We love the beautiful grounds, patio, and all the unique charm that makes our farmhouse special, and we’re glad those were highlights of this guest’s stay.

Hi Darla, We are pleased to hear that you felt our charming, private farmhouse in Franklin was clean and inviting! We pay special attention to ensure this is the case for each of our guests staying with us. We always welcome constructive feedback from our guests to ensure that we can improve for each group and encourage those staying with us to alert us right away of any issues experienced so we can rectify them immediately. As we did not receive any communication from you during your stay, we were unable to address any issues you may have experienced while you stayed with us. We hope to welcome you back for a future stay!

Thank you for your review. For clarity to future guests, the issues mentioned were never reported during this guest’s stay, and we were available to address any concerns promptly. Our team ensures the home is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained for every guest, and all reported concerns are resolved immediately.

Hi Nan, Thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed the convenient location near Graystone Quarry and found the bedding comfortable during your stay. To clarify your comment about the kitchenware, the home is fully stocked with ample plates, cups, and utensils for the number of guests the property is designed to accommodate. After reviewing the inventory, we confirmed everything is in place. It’s worth noting that having additional, unregistered guests can understandably create the impression that supplies are lacking. As for the bathroom wallpaper, we’ve taken care of that. On June 2, 2025, we completed repairs in the back right bedroom's bathroom, including repairing the peeling wallpaper and treating the wall to eliminate all signs of mildew. That space is now clean, refreshed, and in great shape for future guests. We’re proud to offer a spacious, charming home in a prime location, and we’re always working to keep it in excellent condition.

Hi Carol, We are disappointed to hear of your perception of our authentic farmhouse escape in Franklin. We aim for our listing descriptions and images to depict the reality of the property and feel as though they are accurate for what our guests can expect. We have not altered any images showing the property or building. The concrete stairs to access the home are in good, usable shape. We appreciate your feedback regarding the sliding door and can confirm that following your check-out, our maintenance team used WD-40 to lubricate the doors so they are easier to open and close. After you alerted our team regarding the dishwasher, we immediately arranged for someone to visit the home and fix the appliance. Thank you for letting us know about the hair dryer - we have added one to our inventory for the one that was missing. We have also installed a privacy film to the windows in the bathroom to provide more protection for guests while using it. Our maintenance team also checked on the toilets, which are all in good working order. We do clearly note where each of the bedrooms are located within the home in our listing description. We have had our maintenance team check on the outlets throughout the home, all of which are in good working order. We also note in our listing description that we have a 20mbps upload speed and 200 mbps download speed and that this speed will vary based on the number of devices connected to WiFi. The ceiling fan has been assessed by our maintenance manager and is in good working order as well. We have had our team check on every appliance and the only one that had any imperfections (the microwave missing a handle) has been fixed. All of our appliances, though older - are in excellent functioning order.
