The dining area and living room's cathedral ceiling and skylights give this room an aura of beauty and warmth, and the sleeper sofa will accommodate two more guests! For your use, you will also find a new Whirlpool front loading washing machine and a front loading dryer. There is an extra 1/2 bathroom off the living area. There is a desk area for working guests with a WiFi speed of 1200 MbPS. This guest house is a one of a kind! From its lovely decor to its convenient location, you will find that your new home away from home exemplifies the graciousness of Franklin, Tennessee!

Perfect cottage and Location to downtown Franklin

Susan is a great host. She met us at the cottage when we arrived to show us around. Her place looks small on the outside, but had plenty of space for our two dogs and us. The location is right near downtown and we walked everywhere. Lots of coffee places and restaurants nearby. We had so many options and didn’t get to try them all! Would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed 3 nights at this lovely vrbo in Franklin while we were in town for a weekend with singer/songwriter Matthew West. The home was within walking distance to the Factory where we met several times. We were also there for the tree lifting which was amazing!! Susan was such a wonderful host she came over when we arrived to show us around the house and was so friendly! 10/10!

This location is perfect as downtown is just one street over. We walked most places to eat if we didn’t use the fully furnished kitchen to make a meal. Will certainly visit again.

Charming Guest Cottage

This is our second time staying at the Franklin Guest House and we are planning a third time next year. Susan is a perfect hostess; both helpful and friendly. The bed is very comfy, which is extremely important to us. And, it is only one block off from the historic downtown (great shopping and restaurants)! 🙂

Charm and comfort

We absolutely loved our stay in Franklin, TN. We were not familiar with the area and were so grateful to be in Franklin. Very close to Nashville but so much quieter. There was a street festival happening when we were there so we were able to join in the festivities which was great. Shops and restaurants in the downtown area are within easy walking distance. Susan was more than gracious and we appreciated being able to stay there.

Perfect Getaway

A friend and I stayed 2 nights in this beautiful Franklin cottage. Everything was perfection. A block from historic Franklin’s downtown. Easy walk with beautiful neighborhoods, great restaurants and shopping. Convenient but not in the hustle and bustle of downtown Nashville. Will definitely plan on staying here again.

About the host

Hosted by Susan comer

Host profile image
Our family loved Franklin, Tennessee before Garden and Gun Magazine named Franklin 'The Best Southern Town' or Southern Living Magazine ranked Franklin on their top 'Best Places List'. In fact, we have lived here for over 150 years, and my great great grandparents lived just a block away from our guesthouse during The Battle of Franklin! For generations we have known that Franklin was an extraordinary place, and we are proud to call it home!

Why they chose this property

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION is the most wonderful feature of
The Franklin Guest House! The guest house is within moments of Main Street. Our home is next door, and when my children were quite young; they were allowed to go to the shopping/dining area of Franklin by themselves. (Back then you could buy fried rice for 99 cents, plus Gray's Drugstore had penny candy!) Such a sweet place to raise a family! Even though stores have changed, the location is still the same.

What makes this property unique

Come experience true Middle Tennessee living at our guest house which provides multiple benefits for any guest. Staying in the heart of Historic Downtown Franklin lends itself to many fun activities. The coziness of the guest house provides a romantic getaway or a relaxing stay. Staying five minutes from the interstate, and less than thirty minutes from downtown Nashville allows easy access to Music City. Whether your vacationing desires are to nestle into a quiet retreat or to be out and active this home is the place for you!
