Our conference was 12 hours long and we were exhausted at the end of the days and the bed and couch are both very worn and hard. We drove an escape and could not park in the driveway because it was too small and the trees were going to take off the rear view mirror and scratch the car, the place could use some work, but is very cute and the location was terrific.
The outside of the cottage was pretty run down and the parking is very small and limited. Location was very good for walking purposes. Host was very helpful with the issues we had with the dirtiness of outside and needing toilet paper for the cottage. She also allowed us to park our truck in the main driveway since the main house was not occupied while we were there. Our truck did not easily fit in the dedicated space at all. The inside of the cottage was nice just disappointed with the outside and the parking. Feel like the online pictures are not accurate. We also had issues with a lot of mosquitoes inside the cottage. The host was very receptive just wish we would have booked a different location.
All in all, if youâre looking for a well located downtown Franklin location and planning to be out most of your stay, this place is a good fitâ Itâs a 5 min walk to Main Street and host seemed nice when booking. That said I donât think we would stay here again. Place was clean at first site but found chips under the bed, cobwebs in the lights/ decor, and fairly run down bathroom flooring & exterior when compared to pictures. Chairs around fire pit outside could use a good cleaning, they were pretty dirty. The lamps inside are controlled by Alexa but we werenât able to get Alexa to work so werenât able to use lamps or strung lighting, worried weâd be charged the fee to reset. Parking is a challenge as other reviews mention so we parked on street and walked most of the time. Everything else was as expected, place was pretty musty when we first arrived but once we ran AC it cleared up. Kitchenette worked for us and was clean but we werenât there much to use it.. other than mini refrig & electric stove top. As someone else pointed out there is only one mirror, which is very small above sink in bathroom and no real closet spaceâ- neither of which were issues for us though but something to keep in mind.
Overall, it was a nice little place to stay for the weekend with a great location to downtown Franklin. However, there are some things I would change/update: the parking is awful. It barely fit my momâs Rav 4 and my Enclave would not fit due to the overgrown trees/brush. If they were to trim that it wouldnât be that bad. There also isnât any available street parking nearby that I felt comfortable leaving my vehicle overnight so I had to opt for a parking garage in downtown. We had an issue with the front door lock. I think the batteries were going out. Let the host know and she said she would be over later. She never showed and never followed up so it was left unlocked for a day and we had to take our valuables with us. That was kind of annoying. I would also add a full length or at least bigger mirror. Thereâs a tiny one in the bathroom that is not very accommodating. The bed is pretty uncomfortable as well and we found hair in the shower and cobwebs around some of the decor, and the Adirondack chairs outside could use a pressure washing. However, the host did let us check in a couple of hours early per my request, which was nice and like I said the location is great! Just needs a few updates and it would be perfect!
Unbelievably comfortable, convenient, cute place to spend a few days to explore Franklin and beyond. We look forward to staying again and will recommend to friends.
Great location and overall experience. Within walking distance to everything downtown. Nice quiet location. Hosts were very accommodating. Would definitely stay again, and most likely will if weâre ever back in the area.
Super cute cottage, that is very convenient to the center of town. It is very walkable to plenty of shops, restaurants, and entertainment. Great for a weekend getaway.
Check in was easy. The cottage is super cute and well-maintained. Perfect for a little weekend getaway. So many fun things to do in Franklin and Nashville. We loved our stay at The Bluebird Cottage.
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.
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.
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.
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 doesnât seem like a big ask. The WiFi was a joke and Alexa was MIA.
Cute little house, GREAT location. Place had all you need to enjoy Franklin.The only knock I have is that there is no closet to hang clothes. If you go bring a few hangers for your use. Sincerely LPC
It was a cute location close to main street but there were some issues. I couldn't get on line. Only 1 hand towel in the bathroom. No bathmat. Chairs outside were not user friendly. I am used to stripping beds but to be required to do laundry was a surprise. Would not stay there again for the price.
We loved the Bluebird cottage.It was comfy and cute.Walking distance to downtown Franklin.Only change would be to trim the trees near parking spot to widen.
