Four sisters stayed in the Firefly Cottage for a few days in March 2026. The cabin is adorable, bigger than it seems online, very clean, decorated very cute, and is well stocked with all you need. The screened in porch was our absolute favorite spot. The cottage is close to some hiking trails, the Natchez Trace parkway, Franklin, and beautiful drives through the countryside (check out the enormous houses. ). Amber was a delight to deal with and very responsive to messages. if we ever return to the area, we will certainly book our stay at the Firefly Cottage.

A beautiful cottage in the woods

This was a wonderful property, in a beautiful, quiet location. Easy access to all the amenities in the area. It was very clean, and well kept. I will absolutely be going back to this property in the future.

Perfectly peaceful

My friends and I were looking for a place to reconnect and relax for a weekend. Firefly Cottage was the perfect peaceful getaway for us. It was comfortable, clean, and full of thoughtful touches. The cozy and inviting atmosphere was exactly what we were hoping for, and the porch-sitting time was the restorative experience we needed. We enjoyed our time there and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Thanksgiving in the forest

We were hosting our of town family for Thanksgiving and found this great, cozy cabin in the woods right near the Natchez Trace parkway. It was very clean and had everything we needed to host a Thanksgiving meal (except a big pot to make mashed potatoes 😉). The location was tranquil and close to hiking on the Trace. It was also convenient to Franklin and any store we would want/need.

World Series

We stayed here because our daughter was playing softball in the World Series in Fairview. The owner was very responsive with anything that I needed. The house has a nice layout and was very clean and nicely decorated. It’s not too far from Nashville and has a beautiful view from the porches.

Nashville

We had everything we needed and then some. We cooked a few breakfasts, and used the screened in porch. The tv took us a while but eventually figured it out. A couple went downstairs to the bottom deck and they loved it!! Said the chairs were way more comfortable. I never went upstairs but my girlfriend said it was nice. We enjoyed it very much and Amber was a big help with questions we had about Nashville. Would definitely stay again. My only complaint is we are old all over 65 and it was hard to get out of the living room chairs lol

We are Tennessee transplants from Colorado and have grown to love the area of Franklin and Nashville. We love exploring and experiencing all this area has to offer. From festivals, amazing food and music, to spending time outdoors and listening to incredible music, there is nothing we don't love about Franklin!

As the sun sets and the fireflies dance, you'll feel a sense of tranquility wash over you, allowing you to truly unwind and reconnect with nature.
You can spend your time lounging on the cozy screened-in porch reading or enjoying a glass of wine or cup of coffee or head down to the lower porch, turn on the string lights and play a game and watch nature walk right by you.
Or step inside and discover a haven of comfort and charm, where every detail has been thoughtfully curated to enhance your stay.
