Bluebird Cottage in the Heart of Historic Downtown Franklin

Beautiful comfortable property. Decorated for Christmas too

It was charming and pristine. The bed was comfy and the location was perfect for walking to downtown FranklinWe will definitely be back!.

This cottage is adorable and Nanci goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. Excellent getaway!

The cute style and quiet location were perfect for a busy week of meetings. It was a nice tucked away oasis that was so close to downtown. The curtains on the windows could be fuller or cover more though just because of the closeness of the main house...even with the tree coverage.

Cleanest property we’ve ever stayed in. Very nicely decorated! Parking is a big ZERO! The driveway/alley has uneven pavement and damaged the lower front bumper of our Lexus.

The location was great as we were able to walk to all the shops close by.

Convenient to downtown and an easy walk. Parking in the hidden driveway difficult to navigate . We could barely get out without hitting the mirror. Some directions were different in the book vs what I received in the email.

Great location to historic downtown Franklin... Very walkable. All amenities were there. Great AC!

Great location!

We had a lovely stay at the Bluebird Cottage. The location was excellent to be able to walk into downtown. We would stay again, and definitely would recommend staying here. The parking as described in other reviews is tight.

The cottage was walkable through the town of Franklin and was on a quiet side street. Perfect for our vacation. Clean and beautiful decor, the Bluebird Cottage was unique and cozy. Excellent air conditioning and big tv.

Location was fantastic, and we were able to walk downtown even in the below-normal temperatures for February in middle TN. . Adorable cottage vibe with an retro Franklin theme and nicely decorated throughout!We had unseasonably colder temps that made the cottage feel chilly most of the time as the heater struggled to keep the cottage warm. I would also add that some of the window treatments could add a few more curtain panels for better privacy on one side, and the parking space was sufficient but a little tight for our mid size pick-up truck. The front entry lock works but was a little finicky for us at times, but this surely could have been due to user error on our part. Overall we loved the charm and location and would recommend the Bluebird Cottage to anyone!

The location to this place was great. It was a five minute walk to town, the Lotz House and Carter House. The decor was very cute the bed was comfortable. Having said that, for a short woman who does her hair and wears makeup, the mirror in the bathroom didn’t work at all. I had to use a chair and put it on the window sill to make it work. We ran out of body wash and the bleach pods to wash the towels and we had to use our phones hotspots for the Internet.

Great location right in franklin for two. Highly recommend.

Great location, extremely cute cottage. Very clean and neat. Both wife and I loved the decor as well.

Perfect little cottage for a weekend getaway!

We arrived later in the night. With the rain and darkness we felt the walkway and entry could have been better lighted. We were happy with furnishings, bed, TV etc.Driveway entry is narrow for our midsize SUV. A large SUV would have problems. We were unable to get Alexa to operate but that was not a problem for us.We intend the above comments to be constructive and not intended to discourage future customers.

We were in and out and primary only used the space for a bed and shower. The space in general was fairly tight, 3 people would be too many for this space. We were there for a business planning time and this space would not have been adequate for me and my wife to feel comfortable sitting for extended periods of time with laptops and papers. If we were just relaxing and watching a show then this is perfect and highly functional. The only real negative about the location was the driveway was almost inaccessible for my truck. It was very very tight to the extent that the shrubbery scratched our vehicle. For clarity I drive a Silverado 2500, its a big truck :)

We loved The Bluebird Cottage. Walked everywhere. Loved the historic neighborhood and downtown. Great restaurants and live music. Host was thoughtful and easy to contact.

great

The host was very responsive when we had issues with the cottage. The property is very close to downtown, the space was rustic.

Adorable cottage in an excellent location. My mom and I enjoyed our stay

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 you’re looking for a well located downtown Franklin location and planning to be out most of your stay, this place is a good fit— It’s a 5 min walk to Main Street and host seemed nice when booking. That said I don’t 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 weren’t able to get Alexa to work so weren’t able to use lamps or strung lighting, worried we’d 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 weren’t 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 space—- 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 mom’s Rav 4 and my Enclave would not fit due to the overgrown trees/brush. If they were to trim that it wouldn’t be that bad. There also isn’t 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. There’s 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!

Super clean cottage within walking distance to all downtown destinations!

Perfect spot and in a great walking location to the square. Excellent communication with owner!

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 we’re 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.

Very nice place to stay. The parking space is real tight for a full size vehicle, but otherwise, it was great.

Exactly as advertised!

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.

The Cottage was just right for me to stay the week. The neighborhood is nice, quiet and super convenient to historic Franklin.

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 doesn’t 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.

Very cute, quaint and perfect location.

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.

Super clean. Looks exactly like pictures. Loved the decor. We will definitely return next time in Franklin.

smaller than picture horrible space to try to park and back out into road everyday. bathroom floor disgustingly dirty. looked like something leaked under it. no alexis heard in place so didn’t plug anything up. no room on bathroom to hardly sit on toilet and shower. door took awhile to figure out

Great location. Cute cottage.

The property is located within easy walking distance of all the downtown Franklin amenities, it was clean and comfortable and reasonably priced. However the WiFi signal was very weak, my phone was not able to establish a connection during my stay and web pages loaded very slowly on the tablet. Further, a box of tissues would have been nice.

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!!!

The place was decorated impeccably and you can't beat the location. There were a few minor things but they probably wouldn't prevent me from staying again. Owner should do away with the Alexa things because they are a bit of a pain and add very little. Bathroom door should probably get replaced because it squeaks, so your partner wakes up, and there are large gaps that make it less private than I think most people would prefer. 3 coffee pods was not enough for 2 adults 2 days, there was no creamer, and only a couple sugars. Mostly artificial sweetener was provided. I would bring my own sugar in the raw next time. Overall it was a really cute and enjoyable place.

Cute little cottage just as advertised. Great for a weekend stay for 2 people, close to Main St. Franklin.

Perfect location, great to have kitchen, washer/dryer, parking spot, sitting area. Is in a former garage behind a house, very quiet and private. Go slowly driving in, steep at the beginning. Would suggest brighter lighting in the bathroom and curtains that cover the windows better for sleeping in. Would definitely stay here again.

The location of the property is very quaint. In a very quiet street behind a beautiful, historic house. The bed was very comfortable. However, upon arrival, the unit was not ready. There were dirty linens on the stripped bed and dishes in the sink. Which made things inconvenient. The owner was very responsive and came over and fixed these things. With such a short turnover period I wondered how much refreshing could actually be done. Thwre were no dish towels and creamers not available for the complimentary coffee. Also, in the shower, bothered the conditioner and shampoos were very low and needed refilling. Perhaps the strangest thing was that someone, I am assuming the owner, because it was sent to my attention, had groceries delivered that I had to put away in the place.because there were diapers,wipes, ground turkey and other miscellaneous items, I knew they were not for me. Maybe if more attention was made to specific details this spot would be more desirable. In retrospect, I should have requested some sort of reimbursement, especially when being inconvenienced on arrival so late in the evening.

Got there early and owner let us in early. Such a cute place and close to everything. Beautiful neighborhood.
