Pool, Hot Tub & Outdoor Theater: Franklin Retreat

Our stay was very relaxing. Peaceful setting was perfect for our family ranging from toddler to grandparents. Perfect place to spend time walking outside and visiting together inside in between wedding activities

This rental was fantastic! Had family in town and decided to all stay at this property together. Kids were back and forth between the pond and pool all day. Pond was a bit low due to not having much rain lately, but the boys were still able to pull bass and a couple catfish out.I'd highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a country setting out of the city.

The three pros for staying at this property: the view out the front door, the beds were very comfortable, and plenty of space for a large group. The cons: lack of care and cleanliness throughout the entire home; inside and out.It Peeling wallpaper, dirty carpets, dirty kitchen and pool. The list goes on. The property manager was not helpful nor cared when we called to address the algae in the pool. We would not recommend staying here.

The house was clean and fit our needs. We were in town for a family wedding.

1. Oven Issues: neither of the oven doors would stay closed. We had to use duct tape to hold it in place in order to cook. The ovens were also was in need of a deep clean.2. Grill Incident: the grill caught fire while we were preparing ribeye steaks due to grease left from previous use3. Cleanliness Concerns: Upon arrival, it was clear that the property had not been cleaned properly, which was disappointing given the premium fee we paid. The trash can was dirty, along with someone else's trash behind the trash can. Some of the drawers were dirty as well. There was also someone else's vacuum remnants in the vacuum on the property. 4. Basic Supplies Missing: There was no hand soap at one of the sinks in the master bath and no hand soap at the kitchen sink. There were also no trash bags or paper towels provided in the property. We had to go out and buy these items, which we left for the next guest. We also left some dish cloths, as there was only one we could find.5. Table upstairs: There was a table that was on the top floor that was broken and not usable. It actually caused a concern as one of the kids was trying to use the table and toppled over because it was broken. This is a safety concern that needs immediate attention.6. 1st Bedroom down the hall: This bedroom had heavy stains on the carpet in the room. In the bathroom the shower curtain had mildew on it and the fabric curtain was stained badly.

We had seven adults, eight children and a dog. We loved the outside theater, the hot tub and the fire pit. The house was big enough that if you needed a quiet space you could find it but also had games for the kids, and pool room, TVs everywhere if they needed it. The outside was so enjoyable, beautiful area, close to a fantastic little town. Any problems we had were addressed immediately. We enjoyed our time immensely!immensely. sEnjoyedenjoyed our time.

This is a fantastic, spacious, elegant large property in a great location for navigating wedding activities from Downtown Nashville to Columbia. Host was very responsive when we could not find wash cloths the night we arrived (they were in washer and dryer). The next day host even sent new ones. As is common with short term rentals, some washcloths had old makeup stains and one bedroom had wine drips and small hole in carpet. Overall, though, a lovely place for a large group!

Overall, this is a fantastic, lovely, large property and house! It is in a convenient location as we traveled pretty easily between downtown Nashville, Franklin, and Columbia for wedding weekend activities. It appears to be primarily for rental purposes and would make for a fantastic bachelorette weekend, etc. The host was quick to respond when we were not able to locate towels (they were in the washer / dryer). The host also sent new towels / washcloths the next morning.

The grounds are beautiful. We enjoyed the pool and the hot tub very much. The house is large enough for everyone to have their own private bedroom/retreat. Great location.
