The hubs and I stayed here with our 2 young kiddos in an overnight during a bit of a road trip. We arrived later than we thought and missed our hostess, but she made check-in a breeze. :)
Her place is great, with a common space, bedroom, and bathroom. There was a large farmhouse table outside that we had access to. Because we arrived later, the kids didn't really get a chance to play out in their large backyard, but they would have loved it. :) My kids did have enough time to find the stash of toys on the shelves, however, and played with the cars and toy airport before bed and in the morning. :)
I loved the decor of the space, with the rustic artsy vibe. I particularly enjoyed the pieces around that she created from maps with some great sayings on them. (From our conversation, she makes the art pieces to raise money for charity. Super cool.) She had a chalkboard with some eat suggestions. We tried two places-- bartaco and Jeni's icecream-- both excellent. :)
Because the rental area is in the basement of the home, the common area does have a mild "basement" smell. It didn't bother us at all, and the bedroom has a air filter/conditioner that erases it from the sleeping space. I only mention it here for those (like my mom) who might be sensitive to certain smells. (The space, even though it is in the basement, does have a separate entrance, which our family likes and prefers when we rent.)
We would definitely stay here again the next time we are in the Franklin/Nashville area! You feel safe in the residential area, but are super close to both cities to explore.
Next time, we will stay longer. :)
