We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was top notch! Loved how we could walk everywhere. Went to a Red Wheel show at the Factory and enjoyed the Saturday morning Farmer's Market. Great restaurants nearby!
First time visit to see family in Franklin. The cottage was very comfortable and quiet. It was perfectly located near downtown Franklin and scenic walks along the Harpeth River!
Super convenient to "The Factory" and the downtown historic district of Franklin. Owners are awesome and they obviously take great pride in their properties. Very thankful we were able to stay here.
Enjoyed our stay very much. Charming house and very convenient location. Hope to be back. Appreciate the host letting us adjust check in and check out times by an hour to accommodate a busy wedding weekend!
Super cute home with all the amenities you need for a relaxing stay. Walking distance to downtown Franklin. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood felt very safe no concerns. Would definitely come back on our next stay in Franklin. Beds are so comfortable!
This was the second time we have stayed at GGC. Matt is a wonderful host, and responded quickly to any of our questions. The unit is just lovely. My husband and I, along with our daughter and son-in-law, enjoyed the close proximity to downtown, The Factory, and the quiet street is a huge plus. We hope to stay here again the next time we visit beautiful Franklin.
If the location isn't fabulous enough, let the beautifully styled and immaculate space help you select this property. We spent a friends weekend there, and were impressed with every aspect of our stay! I'm a local real estate agent, and will be adding this property to my recommendations for out-of-state clients looking for a comfortable stay while they explore all that Franklin has to offer.
Not your average rental. The amenities and decorations made it feel like a home. Very quiet yet only 10 minute walk to all restaurants and entertainment.
We had the most amazing stay! We stayed here for 10 days and eloped. Matt and Kara were very responsive and accommodating to us. They treated us so well and we are so happy we got to enjoy this space. I’d been eyeing it for a while now! They are an amazing team with what they have created. We hope to be back again and are so thankful for the memories made!

This property is beautiful. Wonderful location, wonderful home. Does not have many amenities- ie Kleenex, spices if cooking, soaps, lotions. BUT- it did exceedour expectations. The owner did check that we left on time parking across the street and waiting. Kind of disconcerting. Wonderful town- people in community were so so so friendly! Thank you for letting us stay!
This home is lovely, everything about out stay was perfect. Matt was super responsive when we had a question.
The location is fantastic, close to town and anything that you could want.
Beautiful well kept home, well stocked, gas range, gorgeous large kitchen, huge walk-in master closet with king bed and large master bathroom, fabulous location, quiet, clean, nice yard and porches, large driveway, upscale neighborhood,
We stayed for a week and could not have found a more cozy accomodation. The decor was charming, the beds super comfortable, and the walk into town a very easy 10 minute stroll. Our parents stayed in the other unit which made our family reunion even that much more delightful.
Great location, nice neighborhood within walking distance to The Factory and DT Franklin, very clean and comfortable! I highly recommend Garden Gate Cottage for anyone who is looking for a quiet place to rest while exploring the area.
