A Gem!

The Dahl House is truly charming and special. Beautifully decorated and well appointed with anything and everything we needed. The location is fantastic. Waking distance to Main Street. Communication with Nanci was stellar throughout the process. We highly recommend the Dahl House to all future guests and will plan to stay again next time we are in town.

Wedding in Leipers Fork, TN

Stayed two nights in June 2024 while in town for a wedding in nearby Leipers Fork. Had great communication with the owner. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen very functional. The only issue we ran into was that there wasn't DirecTV or any cable TV. WiFi didn't work very well either. Neither was a big issue for us though.

We absolutely loved this house. Perfect location for my daughter and grandson to meet me at our halfway point between Georgia/Memphis. Only wish we had access to the fire pit. But we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be coming back soon. Thank you!!

Used house as a base for visiting son and family at Brownland Farm during hunter/jumper horse show. Felt very safe coming home alone at night. And house very convenient to downtown Franklin and Cool Springs. Will definitely stay again for other horse shows.

Wonderful Home!!!

We LOVED our stay at the Dahl House! The home itself is charming, lots of character, and perfectly clean. The front porch swings and Adirondack chairs were a big hit and we hung out there a lot. The kitchen is new, but classic and staying with the look of the home. The location just can’t be beat. We walked a lot while staying there. The Franklin square is one block over. Can’t say enough about this place! I left some of our clothes hanging on the back of the bedroom door and Nanci was great about helping me get them back. Highly recommend the Dahl House!!

Fall Getaway to Franklin

We just spent a great weekend in Franklin with our 16 and 13 year old at the beautiful Dahl house. The home has so much character but has been beautifully restored and decorated. The living room furniture was so comfy for our evenings back at the house and we slept like rocks in the super comfortable beds. All the perfectly placed fall decor put us right in the mood. We enjoyed Gentry Farms one day and Nashville on another. And of course, the PumpkinFest downtown was so fun and it was great to be able to walk there from the house and not have to worry about parking. Thank you again for sharing your home with us. We look forward to a return.

Great location, cute home and beautifully decorated for Christmas. Cleanliness was lacking in several areas. We found only two wash cloths the first day. Later found wet wash clothes in bathroom drawer and others in a basket under TV in bedroom. Main thing, we found molded sausage left in oven from previous occupant. Just seemed like cleaning was done very quickly.

Convenient But Some Issues

Great location, and you can walk everywhere. Lots of things to do downtown. The house itself is supposed to sleep 8, but even after renting the Queen Suite separately, one of our guests had to sleep on the couch (our group was 7 total). There was a King, Queen and 2 Twins. The windows are painted shut, and there are no screens so you can’t open a window. No functional window coverings in the King bedroom. Bathroom doors can’t be locked. Strange. Every closet in each bedroom was locked so you couldn’t hang anything up. But, we had a good time overall and it’s quite charming.

CHARMING HOME with a couple of small tweaks needed

This is a lovely home, well decorated, and in a perfect location. The living room and primary are quite comfortable. We immediately showed off the home via facetime to our family back at home! We felt safe. Our main issues were lack of window coverings and the Alexa. The neighbor had on a floodlight and there was no way to block it shining into the primary. We asked Alexa nicely, but could not turnoff the party lights on the back porch shining into the guest room. Alexa also didn't respond to turn lights on in the primary. We had to continually reference the correct Alexa instructions as we wanted to turn things off and on which was a little bit of a pain. There are threats of being charged if a switch is touched instead. The twin beds were not very comfortable for an adult as they were unstable and there were no mattress pads. It is a an older home, but there is nowhere to plug in my laptop and work at the same time. I was here for a work trip; so, it was a surprising issue. We did have to run out to buy toilet paper the first day. There isn't a picture of the shower in the pictures. It was little tight with hair on the shower wall, mildew on the shower curtain, mold stains on the caulking, and slippery floor. Shower pressure was great, though. All these little things added up after a long day of work. I hesitated to contact the owner after seeing her reactions to others. Overall, it was very charming and positive memory for us. A couple of little improvements would help!
