About this property
Completely Renovated Historical Cottage -- Walking distance to Downtown Franklin
Welcome to Serenity Cottage
Here to experience all the charm and beauty of Franklin? You’ve picked the perfect place!
Serenity Cottage is more than just a name—it’s a dream brought to life. This home is built on land where soldiers once fought during the Civil War between the North and South. It’s even possible to find old gun shells in the backyard—a quiet, humbling reminder of the area’s deep history. I envisioned turning this land into a place of peace, healing, and beauty, which is why I named it Serenity Cottage.
Today, this cozy and inviting home offers a tranquil escape just 0.4 miles from the heart of Downtown Franklin. Enjoy a scenic walk to explore charming coffee shops, delicious local restaurants, and one-of-a-kind boutiques. Whether you're here for the rich history, Main Street festivals, live music, or antique shopping, Serenity Cottage is the perfect place to unwind after a day of adventure.
The Space:
Welcome to our charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with an additional den that features a large workspace desk and a full-size daybed—perfect for comfortably hosting up to 5 guests. Both bedrooms are outfitted with luxurious California King beds, and every room includes a TV for your entertainment. The living area also features a beautiful fireplace, creating a cozy space to relax and unwind.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be greeted by freshly redone landscaping and a welcoming front porch—ideal for sipping your morning coffee and soaking in the neighborhood charm.
Inside, the open-concept kitchen offers a warm and inviting space to cook, entertain, and gather with friends or family. It comes fully equipped with everything you need for your culinary plans!

About the host
Your host
Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here.
I originally grew up in Mississippi, but I moved to Southern California in 1999, where I spent many years building my career and raising my family. Life brought me back closer to home during COVID when I relocated to Franklin, Tennessee. My goal was to be near my family, who still live in Mississippi, and Franklin turned out to be the perfect place to start a new chapter after going through a difficult divorce.
One of my greatest joys is creating beautiful, welcoming spaces. I’ve run my own business for over 25 years, and outside of work, you’ll usually find me cooking, designing, or gardening—anything creative that brings a sense of comfort and beauty to life. Hosting on VRBO is a natural extension of that. I love opening my doors and sharing the homes I’ve thoughtfully designed, so others can relax, connect, and enjoy.
Thank you for considering staying at Serenity Cottage. I hope it brings you as much peace and joy as it brings me to host you.

Why they chose this property
I chose Battle Avenue because it’s one of the most beautiful, peaceful, and historic streets in the area. This neighborhood was actually a site where the North and South fought during the Civil War, and you can truly feel the weight of history here—especially when the breeze moves through the tall, lush old trees. Sometimes it feels like the past is quietly telling its story.
What I love most is how safe and walkable the neighborhood is. I take daily walks downtown to grab coffee in the morning or enjoy a relaxed dinner in the evening. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, take in the beauty, and enjoy the charm of this special place.
