About this cottage rental

Situated in Franklin, this attractive cottage for $386 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. "There's a crazy little shack beyond the tracks And everybody calls it the Sugar Shack" - Sugar Shack lyrics - Jimmy Glimer and The Fireballs This recently restored, farmhouse style cottage, affectionately known as the Sugar Shack, is a one of a kind find in the heart of Downtown Franklin. Originally a railroad section house built in the early 1900's, it's had it's share of colorful history. It was once lived in by a woman named Beulah who sold moonshine durning prohibition. Small bottles and a funnel found under the house attest to the stories. For visitors seeking the ideal escape, the Sugar Shack provides an opportunity to stay in a piece of history while enjoying every modern luxury and convenience. The recipient of a 2017 Award of Merit from the Heritage Foundation of Franklin and Williamson County, this cottage was designed with cozy spaces, vaulted ceilings, luxe furnishings and spa like bath amenities for the ultimate retreat. The gourmet kitchen is every cook's dream with state of the art appliances, five burner gas stove, pot filler faucet and oversized farm sink and quartz countertops. Every detail has been meticulously considered, including the floors which are made of reclaimed elm from a threshing mill. A brick fireplace was found hidden inside the walls and has been exposed and reassembled to create a new gas fireplace and the wall above it is faced with the poplar wood from the original sub flooring of the house. The original wood siding of the house was milled and used as an accent wall in the kitchen. The property also has an amazing outdoor space that features two cedar porches with a custom made swing and seating, a designer gas fire pit with surround seating and a beautifully landscaped yard with pea gravel paths. Best suited for two adults due to the high end details (no pets please), fixtures and furnishings, this property is ideal for a romantic retreat, honeymoon or place of solace for the creative Artist. Created as a magical place for the owner's friends and family to enjoy, the Sugar Shack is a home for food, wine, great conversation and a place to make music, art and memories. Located a few short blocks from Historic, Downtown Franklin, Sugar Shack is within 5 minute walking distance to charming shops, restaurants, theatre, music venues and historic sites. Situated in the historical overlay of Downtown Franklin, the Sugar Shack is tucked away behind an older blue Victorian house next to the railroad tracks and a stones throw from the Harpath River. With romance in the air, you will feel like you are going back in time to enjoy the occasional train passing through town, just like those that lived here during the Civil War when it was a railroad section house. Sugar Shack is also available for intimate events (additional fees may apply).

I knew this was going to be a great place for us but didn’t realize that I would feel like I was at home. Harrison went over the top to make us feel welcome, nothing was left to doubt. I really enjoyed reading about the history of “Sugar Shack “ in Home Stories setting on the trunk in front of the sofa. Didn’t realize that Harrison was an artist and painted most of the pictures in Sugar Shack. This was a rare find and would highly recommend staying here. Will definitely recommend to my friends! Thanks again Harrison. I guess painting is your passion and maybe this is your calling also.

Properties like this restore my faith in the VRBO/ABB platform. It's been dreary out there and this is a diamond in the rough. Perfect for couples.

This is the first time I have stayed at VRBO property that exceeded expectations! The photos do not due justice to the warmth of the home, thoughtful touches of convenience, or the grace of the host. Put the Sugar Shack on your ‘must stay’ list if you are visiting Nashville/ Franklin.

My Mom & I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at #sugarshackfranklin. The updates of this home while still maintaining original charm & the attention to detail was very impressive. The kitchen was fully equipped with any appliance you may need & we found the kitchen to be more spacious than it appeared in photos. The cozy indoor gas fireplace & outdoor gas fire pit allowed for relaxing mornings & evenings with the nice Fall weather. The location was ideal & an easy walk to Main Street, yet conveniently located to the interstate for navigating to other areas. This is beyond a 5 star property & we thank the host for being so accommodating with welcome treats to allow us to feel right at home. We will definitely be back!

Wow! What a incredible find! Don’t hesitate….book it! I’m extremely picky and this beautiful cottage is a 10 out of 10. The attention to detail at every turn was so inviting and made us feel so welcomed. From the welcome bottle of wine to all the little goodies to the fresh flowers …you will be spoiled! Harrison is a perfect host and very accommodating! Don’t hesitate on this rare find…. The only problem is, you’ll be sad to leave!

We stayed at the Sugar Shack in June while I was in town for a workshop and loved it so much that we decided to come back to celebrate our anniversary. Harrison is such a gracious host and includes so many welcoming touches. The Sugar Shack is in a great location for exploring Franklin but be sure to reserve time for just relaxing on the porch. We can’t wait to come back!
