What a great little place, in the perfect location. We were able to walk to the heart of downtown Franklin. Would highly recommend to single/couples for a getaway. Only note would be parking. We had a large SUV and it was tight (doable but tight). Host was super accommodating and let us use other driveway when it was not in use.

Great location in Franklin TN

We stayed two nights at this property. The location is great in that you can easily walk to the restaurants and shops downtown. The place is like an efficiency apartment ... cute and comfortable with pretty much everything you need. There is a single parking place that is a bit of a challenge, but it is available.

Great cottage and outstanding location

You cannot beat where this cottage is located! Walking downtown Franklin is pretty easy and the cottage is no more than about a 15 minute walk from everything.Size is perfect and very well laid out. You have plenty of space and do not feel crowded while it is cozy and inviting! The bed is awesome and very comfortable. Driveway can be a challenge if you have a large SUV, but take advantage and park on Evans Street by the AT&T fence.Would recommend to any couple who need a place to stay while visiting downtown Franklin, TN.

Bluebird cottage stay

The location is prime. It was a short walk to everywhere we wanted to go. No shortage of charm but The humidity in the cottage was a problem. Not that I could see what the humidity was doing to my hair anyways because this property lacked usable mirrors. I mean a decent mirror doesn’t seem like a big ask. The WiFi was a joke and Alexa was MIA.

Birthday Getaway

Our overall stay was amazing. Property was very clean and walking distance to everything downtown. My only suggestion would be a new mattress. It was quite uncomfortable, other than that, our stay was AMAZING and the cottage was fabulous!!!
