About this property

In the heart of Historic Downtown Franklin


Nestled in the original five block square of Historic Downtown Franklin, you will be able to walk to the Square, the Franklin Theater, and all the charm of Main Street in less than five minutes. It is faster to walk than to drive! Truly, one of the most convenient locations available. The Franklin Guest House is a converted garage that has been renovated into a delightful guest house. The bedroom provides a peaceful night's sleep with its king size bed. Adjoining the bedroom is a full bath with a shower and jetted soaking tub combination. There is a fully equipped and updated kitchen with granite counter tops and tile backsplash. 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 Location, Comfortable Accommodations
The host, Susan, is very welcoming and helpful. The cottage is exactly as pictured - cozy, comfortable, clean, and in the perfect location to walk to all the shops and restaurants on Franklin’s Main Street. The king size bed is especially comfortable. We highly recommend this property.

Excellent host, location, and accommodations!
Great location! Nearly everything was within walking distance. Two teen girls loved being able to come and go as they pleased, and I appreciated not having to worry about their safety. The hostess was very communicative, and offered the place to us several hours early. I would definitely book this place again!

Weekend away
This was such a wonderful experience! The property was exactly what we expected and was absolutely charming! It’s located within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants in historic Franklin and is truly just a couple of blocks away. There was no reason for us to use our car when we stayed in Franklin. It’s a short and easy drive to Nashville (we also spent some time there). The property was very clean and our host made sure we had everything we needed. We highly recommend this property and will book again if we plan another trip to the area.

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!
