Blakely's Stone Cottage: Walk to downtown Franklin & Civil War Sites

Good location with easy access and on-site parking. Short walk to town square and historic sites.

I was really impressed with the communication. There was construction on many of the houses around us but with the open communication the entire time we were not bothered by the little things like some work being done. The host was super welcoming. The area was perfect. The house and backyard were perfect for my family. We stay in Tennessee often And this will be a go to in future stays

Every thing was good! We just kept getting blocked in by the construction. Not a big deal.

Easy check in and out. Hosts went beyond expectations to make a great stay from coffee supply to a welcoming chocolate bar. House has all you need done tastefully and easy walk to downtown Franklin.

If you’re looking for a wonderful place to stay in Franklin, Tennessee, look no further. The location of the Blakely Stone cottage is fantastic! Within walking distance to acquaint downtown and all the Civil War history. The hosts are kind and welcoming. If I’m in the area again, I will certainly stay at Blakely‘s Stone cottage

Charming, spacious, comfortable, and clean...Tics all the boxes for me! Hosts were friendly and communication was perfect. I wish all VRBO experiences could be this enjoyable.

Best VRBO I have ever stayed at. The house is adorable and has everything you need. It set up perfectly for our group (four adults and two teenagers). Easy walking to downtown Franklin and easy drive to Nashville. House was extremely quiet. Hosts were perfect to work with. Highly recommend!!!

Great Location! Communication with the host was quick and helpful. The accommodations were perfect.

Great location, thoughtful touches for our little ones!

Good stay nice home

The host was very welcoming with a my name listed, with a small treat and a little decorated Christmas tree! Messages upon arrival checking in about our comfort and anything needed as well. Everything was perfect! The home was very clean, decorated beautifully, fully stocked with more than what we expected and so many comfortable areas to relax! The fenced yard was perfect for our little dogs and having parking behind the home was such a bonus! The location was perfect as well! The home is close enough to walk to the downtown Franklin area and an easy drive to Nashville! We look forward to our next visit!!

Great location from downtown Franklin, The Factory, and historical sites. We loved the enjoyable walk downtown for breakfast at the Frothy Monkey. We also attended the Grand Ole Opry for their 100 year anniversary night which was awesome! Getting around from our home base was easy and enjoyable. The Blakely’s Stone Cottage was comfortable for the four of us adults (room to spare, with a set of bunks that were not even used), and we had along two small fur babies, who enjoyed a fenced in back yard. We had everything we needed, as far as equipment and serving pieces to prepare a lovely Thanksgiving meal! We would highly recommend this awesome home for a family gathering in the quaint community of Franklin!

I can honestly say that this host was the best we've ever had. Extremely accommodating, quick to respond and very helpful! The property was equipped with EVERYTHING we needed. And we so appreciated the attention to detail (Extra pillows and bedding.Materials provided for local attractions. VERY comfy beds. Spices and plenty of coffee pods in their lovely coffee bar. Complete with extra yummy flavorings! Easy checkout instructions) Proximity to downtown was great for an easy walk. And very easy to navigate to. Had a great stay - thanks to the Blakely Stone Cottage!

Great stay

Loved the space, which was lovely, clean, and pet friendly!

Good location to the down town. The house was remodeled and pleasant.

Excellent

Hosts are very attentive and responsive in both the booking phase and the actual stay.

Excellent stay! The home was clean, spacious, and close to downtown Franklin. Our family loved the Pac-Man machine! Would def. stay there again.

Cute inside & out, clean but musty smell inside, unique home, plenty of space, easy access, loved the extra portable fans to use in upstairs bedrooms, great host!

Very clean , beds were very comfortable, the location was perfect for walking to town center

We had a nice stay in this home that was in close proximity to the main square. We only stayed one night, but enjoyed the peace and quiet of the community. If you like history (as we do), you can explore the site of the Battle of Franklin just a short distance down the road.

Our family stayed in the Blakely’s Stone Cottage for two nights and it was perfect. We are local to the area and needed a place to stay during a move. The house was exactly what we needed. We were able to bring our two dogs and our whole family relaxed for two days while we waited for our new house to be ready. The house is historic and has been lovingly updated. The historic charm has been preserved while allowing for modern updates. It was clean and comfortable and had plenty of space for the 6 of us. The host was very responsive and kind. This would be a perfect spot to come and explore Franklin and rest at the end of the day.

We had an absolute wonderful stay at this property! The location was perfect—close to downtown Franklin, but still quiet and peaceful. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches the host provided, like stocked spice cabinets, plenty of towels, games, books and yoga mats. My favorite parts were the two separate living groom areas and reading/ exercise room that overlooked the neighborhoods. Communication with the host was seamless. They were responsive, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed for a smooth check-in and enjoyable stay.This is one of the best VRBO experiences we’ve had, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to friends and family. Thank you for a fantastic trip!

We stayed with our kids and dog for the weekend. It was a great stay!

The property was extremely clean. Such a clever use of space. The hosts were very gracious and generous, and we would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.

The property was charming and welcoming. The hosts had everything we needed in place and responded quickly to our questions. You couldn’t ask for a better location to enjoy the city of Franklin!

This house was even better than advertised! Clean, perfect size, charming and very updated! So easy to stay here and the owners are very communicative! A great trip and so close to everything in Franklin

We had an amazing time staying in Blakely’s Stone Cottage. It was very convenient to downtown Franklin. The hosts were amazing and kept in contact with us making sure things were good throughout our stay. Of course the house is historical, but on the inside it had all the comforts of a newer home. Very clean and nice. We would definitely stay there again!

We loved this home... beds were comfortable, the video games a nice extra... our kids even got us to play a little. Great location for everything in Franklin. Loved the little extra touches... popcorn, tea, very thoughtful. Thanks for an easy in and out, wonderful stay.

We adored the quaint charm of this lovely 1930s built bungalow. The hosts were wonderfully communicative. Being former VRBO owners ourselves, we know the extra effort it takes to truly make a property feel like home, and their effort is deeply appreciated. The property is located very close to downtown Franklin, a mere few minute, walk to the main two circles. We hosted Thanksgiving for our family of 4+2 additional family members. There were ample rooms for privacy for all. No lack of hot water, place settings, or diversions for guests of all ages. The hosts ensure that there are games, puzzles, electronics, books and smart TVs that may be enjoyed by all. An additional touch, the coffee bar is stellar. Not knowing whether or not the kitchen would be appropriately stocked to host such a daring meal, The only thing I wish I had was a knife sharpener and a meat thermometer. Understand that the stone building is nearly 100 years old. Tastefully, decorated and renovated, the floors are a little creaky and modern amenities took creative efforts to install, but this does not take anything away from the property. The home straddles a gentrified section of Franklin. We felt very secure with the police department down the street any fenced in yard that our dog spent hours exploring. The photos are true to the home's condition. Should her family ever need a VRBO in the future, we would absolutely return.

This house was just what we were looking for. First, it was in a fantastic location, a ½ mile walk from downtown Franklin, TN. We loved looking at the lovely 1800’s homes, beautifully restored, along Main Street as we walked into downtown. The location was also convenient for trips into Nashville, an easy 20-mile drive. We drove off the main highway into Nashville several times so we could enjoy seeing all the pretty properties on the way. Secondly, the house itself was great. It was remodeled and had a newer kitchen and 2 bathrooms. There were 2 family rooms with TVs, one upstairs, one down. It was just the 2 of us, but I could see how this house would be an excellent choice for 2 families. The house was very clean and tidy, and there was a laundry room – one of my “must haves” on longer vacations. Maybe most important to the success of our stay were our hosts. Dan and Amy communicated well - from the time our reservation was made to the day we left. They checked in to see if we had any questions/needs after arrival, they suggested a walk we might like, and they sent us a reminder when we left. They even provided a framed postcard of Franklin as a souvenir of our stay. A very thoughtful team. We would highly recommend this property for anyone visiting Franklin or the surrounding areas.

Cozy and nice home. Will be back!

If you do not like staying in big cities like Nashville, this house is ideal. The house is very comfortable and spotless. The fenced yard is perfect for your dog. As advertised it is a short walk to civil war sites. And a short drive to the Natchez Trace, Leiper's Fork, and Nashville. Perfect!

The owners were great and the house was exactly as advertised. Coffee bar was a nice surprise! Would stay again if ever in the area.

We enjoyed our stay at this cute cottage near downtown Franklin. It was a quick couple of minutes drive to downtown where parking can easily be found at the 4th Street parking garage. The house is stocked with everything you could need for a comfortable stay, board games and puzzles to entertain the kids, and a cute little coffee/tea bar in the kitchen (I especially loved the electric tea kettle!).

Quiet and convenient to downtown, easy walk. Friendly neighborhood and great for a short or long stay. Host checks in on you to ensure all is good.

We had a wonderful time visiting family in Nashville over Labor Day. The hosts were very responsive to our questions and the property was in a wonderful location. Would definitely visit again!

Charming house with everything you need clean and Comfortable

This is a lovely little getaway with 2 living areas and large kitchen. Newly refurbished, comfy beds. It is in an older area of Franklin that is mixed use and being gentrified. Wonderful hosts.

The exterior and interior of the stone cottage was lovely, as was the host and hostess!

We had a fabulous time … nice kitchen, comfy beds a great set up.

My family loved our stay at the Blakely House. Blakely House is a historic home that has been beautifully redone. The home still has so much of the historical charm with all the modern conveniences. The hosts also had a great area with maps & information about the beautiful town of Franklin. We were visiting the area because it was a convenient spot for a tournament we were in but ended up loving the town of Franklin. We loved our stay & we'll definitely choose Blakely House again.The

Came for a football tournament and really enjoyed the stay
