Stone Cottage Vacation Getaway: Blakely House: - Stroll to DT Franklin

Albert Blakely's enchanting stone cottage is a meticulously restored 1930s historic home nestled in the heart of Franklin. Recognized as an iconic landmark by The Heritage Foundation of Williamson County, this residence seamlessly merges modern amenities with old-world charm. Meticulously upgraded for your comfort, it's a 1/2 mile walk to the vibrant and eclectic downtown Franklin, where you can immerse yourself in live music, shopping, delectable dining, and Civil War history.
Amidst the wave of demolitions and new constructions replacing older homes in the vicinity, the experience offered by the Historic Blakely House from the 1900s is increasingly rare. Here, you'll encounter a glimpse of architectural heritage in a vanishing landscape, steeped in the stories of remarkable people.

The entire house will be at your disposal.

We reside in Franklin and are readily available should you require any assistance.

The Historic Blakely House is located on Natchez Street, a mere mile away from downtown Franklin. This area holds historical significance, once being the site of the Battle of Franklin. For over a century, it served as a hub for various businesses, many of which were segregated. Franklin has evolved significantly over the years and now finds itself on lists like Big 7 Travel's "Most Charming Small Towns Across America." Downtown Franklin is a harmonious blend of historical preservation and contemporary sophistication. Just 14 miles from Nashville, you'll discover a haven of Southern hospitality within a 16-block historic district, housing award-winning antique shops, local gift stores, fashionable boutiques, privately owned art galleries, lovingly restored residences, and more.

Nashville, Leiper's Fork, Columbia, and a host of other vacation destinations are short drives from the Blakely House.

Please be aware that there is a $95 pet fee for guests bringing their furry companions. Kindly inform us in advance if you plan to bring your pet.

The driveway to the right of the home is shared, though the parking spaces are not. There's ample parking available at the rear of the property.

Two security cameras are installed outside the house, with one focused on the parking area and the other monitoring the front porch.

Unwind on our front porch, sipping sweet tea, and bask in the authentic community of Franklin.

Perfect stay for Brownland experience
We were looking for a place close to the horse show at Brownland Farms that would accommodate a few people and allow pets. We had no idea how cute and perfect this house would be. Only 10 minutes from the show grounds and, bonus, 5 minutes from downtown Franklin! Could not have picked a better house.

Repeat Renter at this Property
We really enjoyed our stay at this property several months ago, so rented it again. On this visit, we had some time to enjoy the second-floor sun porch at the front of the house. It is a great place to watch people and cars go by, or to read a book. We were very comfortable in this home and plan to book it again.

Great Place to Stay
The house itself was very cute. My family and I enjoyed staying here. We had some trouble with the AC, and the host came and fixed it as soon as he could be there. The hosts were very responsive to messages whenever I had questions. The house was clean, and stocked with amenities. I would definitely come back.

So Very Clean!
First and foremost, our hosts could not have been more communicative! We were utterly impressed with their care and consideration over our entire stay. The drive is shared with two other abodes and the neighbors were friendly and helpful! While this house is historic, the renovation and furnishings are top notch and very comfortable! Definitely would stay again!

Diamond with History
Our stay was not only superb, featuring a spotless home with all the amenities, but also has a facinating history. Our hosts were the best, most communicative from the start. Home was warm and welcoming. Parking was ample behind the property which was a short walk from the Carter and Lotz historic homes. We are looking forward to a return later this year, God willing.
