Spotless Cottage in Gorgeous Setting, pet friendly , miniature donkeys, wildlife
About this bed and breakfast
In rural Franklin nestled under amongst the rolling hills and cow pastures, you will find this absolute treasure of a guesthouse. Located on an immaculate 6-acre property, this little house welcomes guests of all backgrounds for a luxurious stay only about 15 minutes from the beautiful, quaint downtown Franklin, Tennessee - recently rated one of the best towns in the USA. We have outfitted it with all the best materials and provide the amenities that make your stay special - like luxurious sheets and towels, a ready and waiting coffee pot, sometimes even freshly-baked muffins or bread. Come and stay with us to experience vacation rentals as they should be! L Within 10-15 minutes of Hatcher Dairy, Arrington Vineyards, the Barn at Sycamore Farms, New Approach School for Jewelers, Williamson County Ag Center, Downtown Franklin, Cool Springs, Brentwood, I-65, I-840, I-24, Spring Hill, Columbia, College Grove, Arrington, Leiper's Fork, Murfreesboro, and more. An easy drive takes you to all that Nashville has to offer including the Nashville Predators, the Tennessee Titans, Nashville Soccer Club MLS, the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Ryman, the Grand Ole Opry, Opry Mills, the Honky Tonks of Broadway, Vanderbilt University, Green Hills Mall, and so much more. 30 minutes on the interstate will have you in Murfreesboro as well for the Miller Coliseum, MTSU, or other events happening there. The cottage, which was once a pole barn and then an art studio, has been recently remodeled into a delightful, open space with a very large bedroom, a walk-in closet, a full-sized washer and dryer, a beautiful bathroom, a living room with leather furniture, television with streaming services, stereo speakers with Bluetooth, dining area, and complete kitchen with walk-in pantry. The space features beautiful vaulted ceilings and huge picture windows facing the north so there is continuous beautiful light in the cottage. From experience, the owners know that it can be very difficult to find a high end rental property that is small and sized for just a couple of people! They are delighted to bring this cottage to market and help fill that gap! The bedroom has a roller shade in case you desire a bit of privacy, although there is nobody around except the deer. It is completely handicap accessible throughout, and we are extremely proud to often host wheelchair-bound guests. The owners live on the property in the main house but rarely interact with guests. Dogs are welcome to come and stay, and with coordination with the owners, may enjoy the beautiful property. There are rabbits and chickens on the property so guests often create a delicious breakfast with fresh eggs. A beautiful little patio with twinkle lights is a wonderful place to enjoy morning coffee or a nice glass of wine in the evening. The grounds are perfectly manicured and make a delightful backdrop for guests to enjoy watching the wildlife in this remarkable place. The owners also have two miniature donkeys who are quite friendly and enjoy pets from guests. Frequently seen wildlife on the property includes deer, wild turkeys, foxes, and hawks. Every so often one is lucky enough to spot an owl. Many guests find the wildlife, peaceful setting, and quiet surrounds to be extremely therapeutic. Guests are invited to bring their own pets (dogs and cats, others with prior approval) to enjoy the property as well. There is a pet fee. Important note: Do NOT book if you are bringing a trailer or a UHaul truck without contacting us first. If you show up with either without our prior notice we will not honor your reservation !! This is for your and our safety.

A most comfortable, tranquil and hospitable extended weekend getaway. We, including our two dogs, thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
A perfect place to relax and unwind and catch up with family. We enjoyed taking a daily walk to the main road, checking out the local restaurants and small town charm Franklin has to offer.
Leaving truly is the hardest part. Looking very much forward to returning to the Franklin community and your lovely cottage again in the near future.
Thank you so much Kendal.

The property location was beautiful and very quiet. We had no trouble relaxing and enjoying our stay. The home was very unique and had everything needed for our stay. We especially enjoyed visiting with the donkeys and the rabbit. The location was very convenient for visiting Franklin, Nashville, and surrounding communities. We truly enjoyed our stay and would come again if traveling in the area.

I was looking for a quiet place for an overnight, personal retreat, and this hit the spot! It's off the beaten path, which was perfect for what I was looking for. Nice also to have a spacious property to explore.

If I could give this place negative stars I would. The house was not clean and the photos are not accurate. There was poop residue in the toilet and the bathroom shower head fell on my husbands head, but that wasn’t why we left. My family was there for less than 24 hours because of all the bugs everywhere. According to the owner it’s very common to sleep with lady bugs and “Japanese beetles” when you stay on a farm. I’ve stayed in multiple rentals and farms before, but never had this issue. Make sure you document every single bug you see before you kill, vacuum, or brush them outside, or the owner will call you a liar. I vacuumed and cleaned the entire rental and as soon as I sat down the bugs were everywhere again. When we left I told the owner my husband was not feeling well; he and I had constantly been cleaning bugs and picking up the entire time we stayed at this location. The owner implied that I was lying about my husband having an emergency, even though I have a voicemail from his doctor and his emergency room discharge papers. After we left and the owner found out about the bugs she said her family would have come in and cleaned them out. I’m sorry, but if I payed for a rental property and I don’t want the owner to have to come into the property while I’m there. After looking back at the reviews it seems the family who stayed there the weekend before us also had an issue with bugs. Save your money, your time and rent somewhere else that is clean and has honest owners

it is a beautiful chapel converted to a cottage, I left one day early because of an invasion of insects and bugs. Note: There are no doors or curtains or shades on the windows. There is no door on the bathroom which is visible from the outside. There are 360 degree external cameras.

We had an amazing time. This place is worth every penny. The listing says that it has a sleeper couch for 1 and that you can take the cushions off to make it a larger sleeping space, however the cushions are completely attached. If you have 3 people staying the third will have to just sleep on a regular couch that doesn’t pull out or have extra space or anything. There is also a blowup mattress option too. The host is super helpful - we were here during a snow storm and she was so kind in checking to make sure we had what we needed and supplied extra blankets for us! Overall, it was so welcoming and we enjoyed staying at this little chapel out in the rolling hills of Franklin, TN!

The property was exactly as stated. Our friend is wheelchair bound and had easy access for our visit.
We found the cottage to be so sweet. All of us decided we should build one on our own properties at home!! Everything was very thoughtfully appointed. We hope to be able to stay again on our way home in the spring.

The Room with a View was spectacular. Very comfortable, clean, cozy, and well-appointed! Very close to many restaurants and activities but quiet and relaxing. Would definitely recommend and hope to come back someday!!

This was our Hallmark Christmas getaway and the little cottage did not disappoint. Very well stocked with all the things you might need and a few extra surprises. Comfy bed and couch. The property is beautiful, very safe and quiet. And the donkeys and bunny are precious!

Wonderful stay at the little chapel. Quiet area which worked well for our dog. The place is well appointed and spacious. Loved the cookies and fresh eggs. Comfortable furniture too. Will book again when in the area.

This place was adorable and exactly as pictured. The surrounding area was so enjoyable and very impressive upon entering the lane to the cottage. Beautiful homes and countryside. If we ever visit Franklin/Nashville area again, we will certainly book this place. Judy, the hostess, had everything provided. Convenient to all the areas we wanted to visit in Franklin and Nashville. Just be prepared for lots of traffic.

Adorable chapel in the country. Great attention to every need and detail. We arrived to fresh eggs from the chickens and fresh cookies awaiting us. Great place to relax and refresh along our journey. I loved it!
5.0
This was a beautiful property and the cottage was decorated tastefully! The welcome/information book was the best I have seen at a VRBO/Airbnb/Homeaway property and very useful. Communication was easy and quick with the hosts. The only suggestion I have would be to add a floor length mirror or have a second mirror outside of the bathroom. We had two events to get ready for and sharing a steamy, smaller sink mirror added some extra time.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! First, it is tucked away on a beautifully manicured private oasis. As soon as you walk in those majestic doors, you know you’ve picked the perfect place. It was very clean and decorated perfectly, with no detail left undone. I would definitely recommend.

This property was perfect for our 25th anniversary. It was quiet, clean, & beautiful. Our hosts went above & beyond making our time special. I loved all the extra details like the special card, eggs, Bath&Bodyworks soap, the nice shampoos and the sweet treat. Sometimes it’s just the little things that make your trip fantastic!

This place was amazing, I loved it!!

Thank you for allowing us to stay and we will be back!

What a great property. Our chapel-style home had every amenity needed as well as the charm of a coastal cottage. The windows of the rooms provided such light; with the green leaves of the trees against the blue sky as a bonus! It’s amazing to feel so at home so quickly.
5.0
Staying in this cute little cottage with 300 yr-old doors with a peaceful setting was simply adorable. The charm of the doors seemed to transport you back in time, and I couldn't help but be in awe of their age and beauty. The tranquility of this piece of land truly made it a hidden oasis where we could unwind and relax. It was the perfect location to Franklin and only a few minutes to Down Town Nashville. Overall, the experience was delightful, and will definitely look forward to returning for another stay.

Such a cute place in an awesome country setting. Lots of places to walk around and explore if you love a country setting. They are very dog friendly as well. They had everything you needed on site and more! Even had fresh eggs, condiments and many other things. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Quiet area. Beautiful setting. Not far from town.

We had an amazing time. Such a beautiful property! We visited the animals on the property and also saw deer as we were leaving one morning. Perfect place for an anniversary getaway. We have made a trip to this area every year for the last 6 years and have stayed somewhere different each year. I think we found the place we want to visit again.

This was our first time in a Vrbo and it definitely exceeded our expectations. The location was beautiful, quiet and serene with rolling hills and horse farms but still close to restaurants and activities. Would definitely go back!

We enjoyed our stay at this property while in Franklin. The cottage is quaint and comfortable. We enjoyed walking our little dog a couple of times a day in this beautiful area. She loved it too! Hope to visit again soon!

We needed a quiet place to stay for one night on a special trip. This little chapel/ cottage was perfect, comfortable, and so charming.

Very clean, beautiful surroundings and easy access to Franklin and other rural areas. Loved the animals! Would definitely stay here again.

We actually live local, but SO needed to get away from work and Decembers added activities. This really fit the bill. VERY peaceful and pastoral. Comfortable, lovely and unique. As a Realtor, I'll be passing this property on to clients on their often short visits. And don't miss a little hang time with the chickens or the miniature donkeys, Gunsmoke and Chocolate Chip.

My daughter and I stayed on our way through Franklin heading home and loved everything about the little chapel and the property. The donkeys definitely stole our hearts!!! Property was very clean and hosts were great! Highly recommend for such a fun and unique experience.

Beautiful, peaceful location! Short drive to everything, but away from tie hustle and bustle. Property and cottage are just lovely as well as the owners.

Wonderful two-room cottage in rolling hills outside Franklin, TN. Once a pole barn turned into an art studio then converted into a cottage named "Inglesita" as it looks like a little chapel. Miniature donkeys, fresh eggs from the hen house, and chocolate chip cookies on arrival. Was a perfect surprise birthday weeken getaway. We will definitely return!
5.0
Beautiful property with 5 star comfort. Plenty of yummy coffee choices, but bring your own cream and sugar, should you need that to enjoy your Java (tiny, local,.country store doesnt carry cream). Yummy homemade cookies, gave our stay an extra homestyle touch.
5.0
Pictures do not tell the whole story or give you the experience of feeling at home. This cottage is the perfect locale for relaxing and the host is so responsive and available. From the drive up to the property, you will feel that home awaits past the welcoming chapel-like doors. Loved the layout, open floor plan, beautiful retro kitchen, exquisite spa-like bath and comfortable bed with reading nook. If you look to stay in the country but within reach of modern conveniences, Judy has taken care of every detail and even managed to answer your hearts desire for a second home away from home. Also, the donkeys, chickens and bunny will make you want your own. Highly recommend and high praises for the host.

This place offers a peaceful setting with rolling hills, and nice, neat living quarters with all the essentials. Accomodations for my little dog were perfect and we enjoyed our stay.

Loved visiting all the animals (donkeys, chickens, bunny and dogs). The place is stocked with everything you need. When you come in you'd be greeted with cookies and calming/relaxing music. Not far away from concert venues and great food! Such a beautiful place.
5.0
We really enjoyed our one night stay. The location is lovely and the cottage is roomy - it was very quiet (and it was fun seeing the chickens and bunny). The hosts thought of everything we might need, the bed was very comfortable, great sheets and towels (the water pressure in the shower was great!), and the kitchen had plenty of eggs from the chicken coop for breakfast the next morning.
We can't think of any suggestions to make it better - it was a really perfect stay!
