About this property

Spotless Cottage in Gorgeous Setting, pet friendly , miniature donkeys, wildlife

In rural Franklin nestled under amongst the rolling hills and cow pastures, you will find this absolute treasure of a guesthouse. Located on an immaculate 6-acre property, this little house welcomes guests of all backgrounds for a luxurious stay only about 15 minutes from the beautiful, quaint downtown Franklin, Tennessee - recently rated one of the best towns in the USA. We have outfitted it with all the best materials and provide the amenities that make your stay special - like luxurious sheets and towels, a ready and waiting coffee pot, sometimes even freshly-baked muffins or bread. Come and stay with us to experience vacation rentals as they should be! L

Within 10-15 minutes of Hatcher Dairy, Arrington Vineyards, the Barn at Sycamore Farms, New Approach School for Jewelers, Williamson County Ag Center, Downtown Franklin, Cool Springs, Brentwood, I-65, I-840, I-24, Spring Hill, Columbia, College Grove, Arrington, Leiper's Fork, Murfreesboro, and more. An easy drive takes you to all that Nashville has to offer including the Nashville Predators, the Tennessee Titans, Nashville Soccer Club MLS, the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Ryman, the Grand Ole Opry, Opry Mills, the Honky Tonks of Broadway, Vanderbilt University, Green Hills Mall, and so much more. 30 minutes on the interstate will have you in Murfreesboro as well for the Miller Coliseum, MTSU, or other events happening there.

The cottage, which was once a pole barn and then an art studio, has been recently remodeled into a delightful, open space with a very large bedroom, a walk-in closet, a full-sized washer and dryer, a beautiful bathroom, a living room with leather furniture, television with streaming services, stereo speakers with Bluetooth, dining area, and complete kitchen with walk-in pantry. The space features beautiful vaulted ceilings and huge picture windows facing the north so there is continuous beautiful light in the cottage. From experience, the owners know that it can be very difficult to find a high end rental property that is small and sized for just a couple of people! They are delighted to bring this cottage to market and help fill that gap! The bedroom has a roller shade in case you desire a bit of privacy, although there is nobody around except the deer. It is completely handicap accessible throughout, and we are extremely proud to often host wheelchair-bound guests.

The owners live on the property in the main house but rarely interact with guests. Dogs are welcome to come and stay, and with coordination with the owners, may enjoy the beautiful property. There are rabbits and chickens on the property so guests often create a delicious breakfast with fresh eggs. A beautiful little patio with twinkle lights is a wonderful place to enjoy morning coffee or a nice glass of wine in the evening. The grounds are perfectly manicured and make a delightful backdrop for guests to enjoy watching the wildlife in this remarkable place.

The owners also have two miniature donkeys who are quite friendly and enjoy pets from guests. Frequently seen wildlife on the property includes deer, wild turkeys, foxes, and hawks. Every so often one is lucky enough to spot an owl. Many guests find the wildlife, peaceful setting, and quiet surrounds to be extremely therapeutic.

Guests are invited to bring their own pets (dogs and cats, others with prior approval) to enjoy the property as well. There is a pet fee.

Important note: Do NOT book if you are bringing a trailer or a UHaul truck without contacting us first. If you show up with either without our prior notice we will not honor your reservation !! This is for your and our safety.

Room with a View
What a great property. Our chapel-style home had every amenity needed as well as the charm of a coastal cottage. The windows of the rooms provided such light; with the green leaves of the trees against the blue sky as a bonus! It’s amazing to feel so at home so quickly.

Perfect place to stay!
We really enjoyed our experience. What a lovely place to stay! Clean, comfortable, everything you need, beautiful! Our son and his wife live in Spring Hill. We will definitely be back as this was a perfect place to stay. Close to everything we wanted to do. And a special bonus - very pet friendly which is important to us. Thank you!

Perfect place to relax, reset and rejuvenate
A most comfortable, tranquil and hospitable extended weekend getaway. We, including our two dogs, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A perfect place to relax and unwind and catch up with family. We enjoyed taking a daily walk to the main road, checking out the local restaurants and small town charm Franklin has to offer. Leaving truly is the hardest part. Looking very much forward to returning to the Franklin community and your lovely cottage again in the near future. Thank you so much Kendal. Kurt, Lia, MayBelle & Diddle

About the host

Hosted by Judy Musgrove

Host profile image
Our family includes myself and my husband, Kendall, as well as our two daughters. Our older daughter left for college in the fall of 2018, and our younger daughter is in middle school. We love living in the beautiful countryside of Middle Tennessee where we have access to all the wonderful things that Nashville has to offer, but we can escape to our paradise of peace and quiet. We have two Weimeraners and a couple of cats, as well as chickens, bunnies, and 2 miniature donkeys. Our hobbies include woodworking, baking, cooking, reading, travelling, and I also love to throw pottery.

Why they chose this property

This property captured our hearts the moment we saw the first photograph of it. To be able to retreat to such an idyllic location where we can truly escape the craziness of Brentwood, Nashville, and the city yet be so close to it all when we need or want it is more than we could have ever dreamed. The guest house was originally built as an art studio for one of the previous owners of the property. Many of the pieces of architecture in the studio came from a 300-year old church in Baltimore. We remodeled it to become a guest house and home for my husband's mom. She lived really happily there until she needed a higher level of care, so we decided to offer it for rentals.

What makes this property unique

What makes the guest house such a wonderfully unique little place.... the ceilings are open all the way to the roof, the huge north-facing picture windows let in the beautiful light all day, the space is so open and yet so warm and wonderful. The kitchen is brand new with modern GE appliances and quartz counter-tops as well as a farmhouse sink. Same with the bathroom, it has custom cabinetry, a beautifully tiled shower, and a quartz countertop. The furniture has been specially selected to be comfortable and luxurious. I chose each piece of bedding myself so that your stay in the bed will be comfortable, cozy, and special.
