The host was very communicative and responded quickly. The home lived up to the photographs and was very clean upon arrival. The beds were comfortable and water pressure was fine. The downstairs had a projector attached to the ceiling and was perfect for movie night. We also played games downstairs as well. The living room has a great western view that is perfect for sunset. The kitchen was well stocked and very roomy for cooking. It was a great stay enjoyed by all.

This home was perfect for our extended family to meet and enjoy Christmas together. Our family of 5 had plenty of room together and in spectate places. The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, dishes, utensils and seasonings. Morning coffee on the deck or in the living room with its floor to ceiling windows was so peaceful. Our family enjoyed daily walks up the mountain. We had short drives to downtown Franklin and the Natchez Trace.

The home is beautiful with very nice artwork, there was a dog smell because of all the carpet in the home, I would suggest the owner put out air fresheners or bring your own. The driveway is steep but manageable! Over all we really enjoyed our stay!!

This woody retreat was such a nice change from some of the sterile places we have stayed in. The walls are covered in fun, colorful artwork. The main living area is comfy and bright with a woody view. Kitchen was clean and well stocked. Hosts left some goodies, which was a really nice touch. Four nice bedrooms and a great TV area equipped with a pool table and space to play games and enjoy family. Definitely had a feel of being in the mountains. Not far from downtown Franklin where we found excellent restaurants and entertainment areas. The hosts responded quickly.

Great property, lovely owners

We needed to rent the property out for a video production over a couple of days. Both owners were not just understanding and helpful, but genuinely interested in our project and making the production as easy for us as possible. They were delightful to speak with, great communicators, and went above and beyond for me. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Wise

Host profile image
Hi. We are Don & Chris Wise. We have been married for 50 years and have made Middle Tennessee our home of the last 30 years. JD Wise (Don) is an artist and his works can be found throughout our home and exclusively at Nina Kuzina Gallery in Nashville. He is also a Dove-nominated producer.
Chris is a decorator, loves to sing and is mother of 3 and proud grandmother of 6.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the property because it reminded us of a year-round retreat. We have had artist, authors, editors, song writers and vacationers all spend quite a bit of time brainstorming, creating and just plain relaxing here.
There are plenty of deer grazing the property (they think it's theirs), as well as whippoorwills, squirrels, owls, and turkeys.
Our favorite thing is to sit under the bright stars at night with a glass of wine and tune into relaxing music.
We know you will enjoy the peace and quiet as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

20 minutes to Downtown Nashville, 12 minutes to Historical Downtown Franklin, 1.5 miles to the Natchez Trace bridge, and only 4 minutes from the world famous Loveless Cafe!!
