The cabin is sweet and so very peaceful. When at the cabin I never heard anything but nature sounds. Cabin is very clean and bed very comfortable. I would definately stay again. Much needed retreat.

Had a very nice stay here. Cabin was very clean and cozy. Was very quiet and peaceful. Nice area for easy strolls, a little river at the end of the street. Only briefly met the hosts (I usually keep to myself) and they were very kind. Would stay again.

Sister trirp

Morning coffee on the darling front porch with an amazing view gave us the best start to our days. Sitting by the fire pit gazing at the stars was a perfect way to spend our evenings. The bed was very comfortable. We loved the shabby chic decor. I would love another chance to stay at The Rusty Nail. The peace and quiet was amazing.

Great Little Cabin

Perfect for 2 people, clean, neat, great little touches throughout. Privacy. Very convenient to local shops, eateries, sightseeing and adventures. We shopped, we went to a lake for the day, we went Gem Mining, waterfalls. Drove over and ate at the Dillard House. We really enjoyed our stay at the Rusty Nail and the town of Franklin. Hope to make a trip back some day before too long and will definitely check with Jeanette for our stay!

Perfect house

We loved this property. The house had more space than the pictures show. There was plenty of space to store our things including luggage. There was so much to explore both inside and out. Jeanette the host was lovely. My fiancé and I will definitely stay here again when we visit Franklin. We are anxious to check out the other house on the property ‘The Wild Turkey’.
