My wife and I had a great time in Franklin staying at the Dark Horse Recording Studio! Stayed in the bunkhouse and just loved it. Austin was very friendly and helpful. We brought our dog Cooper and it was a great place for a dog lots of land for him to roam and explore. We meet Robin the owner who was also very friendly and nice. Such a neat setting not one you find very often. Would recommend to anyone for a great get away from the ordinary! Thanks Dark Horse team we loved it! Jim

The dark horse was exactly what I was, hoping for, and exceeded my expectations! Minutes away from downtown Franklin, the owner and staff live on the property and were excellent! Can’t wait to come back!

I am always looking for unusual places to stay other than the big hotel chains. My experiences this year vacation traveling staying in Vrbo homes and in this case at a recording studio where great musicians have recorded was a wonderful opportunity. Set in country settings away from big crowds and cities I was not disappointed…check out the website for Dark Horse in Franklin Tn

The property is beautiful and very peaceful. We loved having a cup of coffee on our private porch in the morning. Communication with manager Robin was a great! We really enjoyed touring the studio spaces and having musicians around. The town of Franklin is nearby and so charming! Nashville is also within striking distance. We will be back!!!

The property is super cool and a totally different experience. Our 5 year old loved the bunk beds in the bunkhouse room. The walkout porch allowed us to drink coffee outside and watch out little boy play in the yard. We could definitely hear music coming from the studio above on Friday night, but it was welcomed and enjoyed!! Robin was a gracious and friendly host and we look forward to returning.
