Christmas at the Blakely House

We spent Christmas in Franklin at the Blakely House. The hosts were great and accommodating and the house was accurate with the online listing. Being half of a mile from downtown Franklin was very convenient. There were only a couple of minor cleanliness issues when we first checked in. I would recommend this house to anyone.

Charming Franklin TN

Our directions brought us in about 4 blocks parallel from Main St winding us a few streets to the house. When we pulled onto the street we were a bit concerned as it appeared like we were in a whole different neighborhood. When we pulled into the driveway (4 women) we realized it’s a shared driveway that ends with 3 apartment units. At the time was filled with trucks and men. Inside we went, house is charming. Most areas are fairly small to gather but it was perfect for us or a small family. Bedrooms were great, beds perfect. They are building a house next door so we got curious about the area and explored. It is definitely up and coming, adorable homes that have been redone. We drove down to town as we went to The Factory first then shopped in Franklin. Could you walk, yes and it’s safe but it is a good walk. Trolley/bus stop is right in front of house. We went into Nashville twice, easy access to highway. Now let’s talk about the shared drive, was it a bit scary back there at first, yes. Guys were very friendly, we had no issues even sat on the backyard patio one night. We never felt unsafe. The ants that were mentioned in other reviews came to visit us as well. We got rid of them and let owner know. We enjoyed our stay!

Historic Neighborhood

Wonderful little cottage style home. It was warm and inviting all over the home. Great little book mentioning the opportunities to be had in Franklin. While we were there mostly for the Nashville experience, we were so glad to be away from the hustle and bustle of Nashville. Franklin is a visit in and of itself and our host made us aware of all the places we could visit. Enjoyed our stay tremendously.
