Hop! Skip! Jump! ...Or Walk To Historic Downtown Franklin, Tn. Harmony Cottage

New listing! Don't miss this one. . . Perfect vacation!

Franklin,TN. voted to be one of the top 5 small cities in the country to see. Everything NEW but the house itself. Situated on a quiet dead end street that is part of the original Battlefield. The newly renovated and professionally decorated Harmony cottage awaits your arrival! ! Attention has been given to every detail "top to bottom" from the beautiful refinished hardwood floors to the ship lap ceilings throughout. ALL furniture has been chosen with care using brand new, along with some antique pieces.
As you walk in the front door you will be welcomed by an open concept living room, dining room, kitchen, so you can enjoy your family time together.
The newly tiled bath with soapstone vanity, the large walk in shower and luxury linens, are there to pamper you, after a long day of enjoying your out and about time!
Choose the bedroom with king sized bed or queen sized bed for a restful night on plush bedding and linens. Both bedrooms feature ceiling fans, dimmer switches, luggage racks and much more,
Fully stocked kitchen has all you will need to fix a full meal or just a simple snack. Right across from dining area is a full sized washer and dryer for you convenience.
Just out the back door, in the kitchen, you will find a stainless steel gas grill, beautiful new patio furniture, and a completely fenced in backyard for your privacy. Enjoy playing a fun game of corn hole while enjoying the outdoors.
So let yourself in to sit a spell, (or longer) relax , then head out to visit one of the most unique and quaint little cites in the country. As you stroll towards downtown Franklin (less than 1 mile walk) you will pass many historic sites along the way, snapping pictures as you go to share with others when you get home . This walk will be an experience you will never forget. ( cottage is less than 1 mile from the downtown area)
Downtown Franklin is known for all it's unique shops, restaurants, tours, antiquing, historical sights, live music venues, playhouse, Civil War sites, etc. and about the friendliest folks you will meet anywhere.
Be sure to save some time for visiting the quaint little Village of Leiper's Fork located about 8 miles west of downtown Franklin, for another big surprise or should I say treat. It's like a step back in time where more of the friendly southern hospitality will welcome you to the Village....antiquing, art galleries, restaurants, live music most every Thurs , Fri, Sat, Sun.
If you want to venture to downtown Nashville it is approximately 20 miles North of Franklin taking I-65 N. Lots to do there too!
After enjoying fun filled days visiting all the fantastic things there are to do in Franklin, Leiper's Fork or Nashville, head yourself right back to Harmony Cottage to relax, fix a nice home cooked meal in the fully equipped kitchen, or a snack, watch some TV, sit on the patio, or make plans to go out and kick up your heels for the evening. So many casual dining places available in downtown Franklin along with many upscale dining places that you can still dress casual as remember you are enjoying " Southern Hospitality".....Some places do require reservations so be sure to call ahead to make sure you have a table.
So.....come on in and see for yourself as Harmony Cottage is ready and waiting to welcome you with "open arms"....This will be an experience you will never forget. It will become " Your home away from home."
As you leave turn around and snap a picture of harmony cottage to share with your friends and family when you return home. You will leave wanting to reserve again for your next trip to Franklin.

I very much enjoyed my stay at Sandy's VRBO. The house was all that I had hoped for and more. It was extremely clean, well furnished and in very close proximity to all that Franklin has to offer! Carter House and Lotz House are within easy and quick walking distance, and other locations are a brief car ride away at most. Thank you again so very much!!

Charming cottage!

Tidy, exceptionally clean, updated, charming place to stay less than a mile from downtown Franklin. Bedding was comfortable and fresh. (Can get a bit tight with three adults and one bath.) A bit awkward arriving at 4 with the cleaning folks stuff in the house but other than that highly recommend!

Clean and Quiet

We loved our stay and it was definitely close to the historic downtown area of Franklin. Due to road work, it was not advisable to walk, but definitely an easy drive. It's also a perfect location to reach many other small towns around Franklin as well. We would definitely stay here again, as all was so clean and a great dead end street, so no through traffic.

“The Golden Girls” Roadtrip

Three of us over 65 spent time 7 days and 8 nights at the cottage home. It was amazing! Clean, comfortable beds, every appliance you need, quiet, perfect location , and a quiet dead end street. I am already recommending to friends who have Nashville/ Franklin on their bucket list. If we return, I will definately seek out this rental again, the best we have ever rented!

Graduation Weekend

We would definitely return for a future visit. We stayed along with our Son and Daughter-in-Law. Perfect for two couples. Very comfortable, cozy, and the beds slept extremely well. Obvious that the Cottage gets attention that Travelers expect but more times than not, don’t get.

Home away from home...

This was our second stay at Harmony Cottage and we love it! It's a perfect little cottage for my husband and I. It's clean, well-appointed, wonderful location, quiet street, and a very good bed. I personally love the walk-in shower with a hand-held shower head. Kitchen is really nice with everything you could possibly need. We'll try to stay there on our next trip to Franklin...probably 2 years down the road when our next grandchild graduates from high school.

Guess You Can Say It Was Almost Love At First
Sight As 7 Months Later We Got Married.
It Has Been A Fun Journey As We Have Loved Getting To Know The Franklin Area Together, Feeling There Is No Other Place We Wanted To Put Our Roots Down And Make It Our Permanent Place To Live. A City So Steeped In History And Culture, Southern Hospitality, We Found This To Be The Place We Want To Call Our Forever Home.

Why they chose this property

We both came from flat terrain and fell in love with the beautiful rolling hills of Middle Tennessee and particularly Franklin. The quaint small town was something we had always dreamed we might one day live in and we were at the right place at the right time to make it all happen for us. How fortunate to have the opportunity to buy this cottage and renovate it with our personal touch. Now we can stay in downtown Franklin whenever we want, and share it with others as well. We hope you will find it as charming as we do. We know you have a choice and we hope your choice is our Harmony Cottage.

What makes this property unique

The closeness of the cottage to downtown Franklin, it's historic address being part of the original battlefield, and within walking distance to the downtown Franklin Square, reached out to us making us choose this cottage to purchase and renovate for our own personal enjoyment as well as share with others who come to visit Franklin with all it has to offer. You know Franklin has been voted to be one of the
top 5 small cities in America to visit. This is such an honor and Franklin takes pride in it's city full of so many things to do and abundant opportunities for all. What better place to call home, to live and raise a family. Nothing like pure Southern Hospitality.
