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.

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!

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.

We were skeptal to stay at all but had to for 1 night! We forfeited our reservations for the next two nights. There were ants everywhere in the kitchen so there was no way we would cook or eat there. The location felt unsafe to even let my dog out. The property description is totally misrepresented as far as location and pictures were concerned. The host did not even offer a refund and stood by the property.

This quaint home is just a block away from million dollar homes and half mile away from downtown. It’s definitely an up and coming area. The neighbors are friendly and we felt safe walking with our infant son. Visiting from Chicago so we’re used to diversity and appreciate it. Check in and check out process is super easy and the owner is accessible. The house has everything you need. I especially appreciated the laundry!

We had an amazing stay at the Blakey House! We enjoyed numerous strolls to downtown Franklin to enjoy delicious food and desserts. The house was very clean and the owners were extremely accommodating. Our favorite hangout and gathering spot was the second floor family area. The house is well lit and beautifully decorated. Most important to me, our puppies were welcomed. There was plenty of room on the second floor for their kennels, in the kitchen for their elevated bowls, and room in the fenced backyard to explore. This will be the first place we try to book when we come back to the area.

Don’t be put off by the age of this home—it is nicely remodeled with all the conveniences you would expect. Neighbors in the area were friendly. We had no problem with noise. It’s very close to downtown and all the neat shops and restaurants. If you like history, this home and the Franklin area are a great place to visit.

We had a great 2+ week stay at the Blakey house in historic Franklin. We walked downtown almost every day and tried a variety of the restaurants and eateries which are all very good! We played golf a few times and most importantly spent great times with our family who now live in Nashville. The location of the house is so convenient to so many things to do. It was very well appointed with all the necessities that you need in a rental. The hosts were great to communicate with! We look forward to rebooking this trip soon!

Historic home with great amenities.

Historic home with great amenities.

Beautifully renovated historical home with all the amenities. Having dual a/c units is a plus especially for upstairs. The house was clean and well kept. Owner was very quick in responding to questions. Close to downtown Franklin restaurants and area grocery stores a plus. There is some street noise though as it’s located next to street/intersection.
