Awesome!!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mike and Abby’s Swordfish Suite. Mike and Abby are so kind, thoughtful, generous, caring, etc……simply the best VRBO owners we’ve experienced by far. The suite was absolutely perfect for us. It was very clean, super cozy, comfortable king size bed and wonderfully furnished. Set in one of the most beautiful areas of Franklin, the location is second to none. Can’t wait to return!

Beautiful, Private & Spacious

The title says it all! It is a fabulous studio! Clean, private & plenty of space. It is just a stroll to downtown Franklin. We enjoyed our stay and if we are in the area again, we will book this spot again.

Weekend getaway

We are VRBO regulars and this by far was one of the best stays we’ve had. Abby and Mike were beyond gracious with their time and knowledge of Franklin. They have a beautiful place on their property that was literally 2 blocks from downtown Franklin. We have already told all of our friends about it and hope to stay there again in the future. Thank you again for the personal touch.

Cozy stay in central Franklin. Not super clean but I have enjoyed my stay. The owner was very kind to help me unload my car and take some heavy stuff upstairs. Thank you!

Amazing location and gorgeous space

We loved the studio apartment! It was so clean and had everything we needed. The owners took great time spending attention on the details. It felt cozy, but there was lots of room to spread out. It was also really great to be so close to Main Street. We could easily walk to restaurants and shops. We will definitely be back! 💗💗💗

About the host

Hosted by Abby & Mike Rapier

Welcome to 246 4th Avenue South in Downtown Franklin, Tennessee.
Mike and I feel so fortunate to live in the beautiful neighborhood and especially on this incredibly special street so close to Main Street Franklin. We hope you enjoy the area as much as we do.

A little history on us: We grew up in Moline, Illinois and have moved a lot during our 26 years of marriage. Starting our married life together in St. Louis Missouri, we then went on to Wauwatosa, Wisconsin where we had our first 2 daughters born. After that quick stop in Wisconsin which was just long enough to have 2 babies and become Packers Fans, we then headed out to Southern California (Stevenson Ranch, CA) – 9 months later we had our 3rd Daughter Elise. We had a wonderful 8 years in sunny CA then headed to Mooresville NC (Lake Norman/ Charlotte NC area) and we were there for almost 13 years!
Believe it or not we have only lived in the beautiful Historic Home since August 19, 2018. Because it is a Historic Home, we look at our current situation living here as “Grounds keepers” of a beautiful piece of history. We will do our best to keep it in tip top shape and hopefully even make some improvements.

Upon purchase of the property, we aspired to build out the 2nd floor of the Garage as a special place that we could share with guests and family. We completed this project November 2020! (It is one of the BEST things for us that came out of 2020)

Lastly, you may wonder why we call it THE SWORDFISH SUITE?
It is NOT because we are deep sea fisherman and we do not have a Pet Swordfish!
