The location to this place was great. It was a five minute walk to town, the Lotz House and Carter House. The decor was very cute the bed was comfortable. Having said that, for a short woman who does her hair and wears makeup, the mirror in the bathroom didn’t work at all. I had to use a chair and put it on the window sill to make it work. We ran out of body wash and the bleach pods to wash the towels and we had to use our phones hotspots for the Internet.

Location was fantastic, and we were able to walk downtown even in the below-normal temperatures for February in middle TN. . Adorable cottage vibe with an retro Franklin theme and nicely decorated throughout!We had unseasonably colder temps that made the cottage feel chilly most of the time as the heater struggled to keep the cottage warm. I would also add that some of the window treatments could add a few more curtain panels for better privacy on one side, and the parking space was sufficient but a little tight for our mid size pick-up truck. The front entry lock works but was a little finicky for us at times, but this surely could have been due to user error on our part. Overall we loved the charm and location and would recommend the Bluebird Cottage to anyone!

We were in and out and primary only used the space for a bed and shower. The space in general was fairly tight, 3 people would be too many for this space. We were there for a business planning time and this space would not have been adequate for me and my wife to feel comfortable sitting for extended periods of time with laptops and papers. If we were just relaxing and watching a show then this is perfect and highly functional. The only real negative about the location was the driveway was almost inaccessible for my truck. It was very very tight to the extent that the shrubbery scratched our vehicle. For clarity I drive a Silverado 2500, its a big truck :)

Our conference was 12 hours long and we were exhausted at the end of the days and the bed and couch are both very worn and hard. We drove an escape and could not park in the driveway because it was too small and the trees were going to take off the rear view mirror and scratch the car, the place could use some work, but is very cute and the location was terrific.
