Farm Stay, Ideal for Family and Friends
Kicking things off with an Airbnb Plus, this attractive getaway is classified as a barn—it has all the shabby and all the chic. Massive spaces allow families to stretch out, but sleeping areas are creatively cozy. With a stretching kitchen for get-togethers and plenty of places to seat everyone, the barn could host an intimate dinner. The kids will be thrilled to find table tennis and animals on the farm.
Walk to Historic Downtown Franklin from the White Cottage
Another Airbnb Plus, this secret country cottage really is tucked away from the bustle while being a stone’s throw away from downtown Franklin. A clawfoot tub and other vintage-esque touches have created a treasure of a retreat, particularly amazing for honeymooners, or couples in general. The price is attractive as well.
Rustic and Private Apartment Downtown Franklin Retreat
It’s impossible not to fall in love with this ultra rustic apartment. It’s warm, ambient and optimal for lots of snuggling. Yet a touch of “industrial” keeps it from feeling too much like grandpa’s cabin in the woods. With a spacious bedroom, living room and bathroom, all the basics for a romantic getaway are right here, including a peaceful back deck. Being a mile away from Main Street, the location is more than ideal.
Franklin Home with a View
While appearing like a chapel in a picturesque pasture, this cute guesthouse was actually meant to be an art studio. While featuring a peaked door and vaulted church ceilings, there’s also a bedroom, sleek bathroom, and quaint kitchen. You’ll be posting lots of Instagram photos of this dreamy location.
Blakely House in Downtown Franklin
We can imagine this stone beauty during its heyday back in the early 1900s because it’s been lovingly brought back to life. Things have been kept simple and slightly modern inside, so the age-old aesthetics are front and center. Three bedrooms can sleep eight guests, and even more history awaits just a short walk away in downtown.
Gimpy's Tiny House
The Mad Hatter might have designed this crazy purple cabin in the woods! The kooky appeal continues inside with bold red and yellow accents, and there’s not much explanation of any of this on Airbnb.com. But we know the folks running it are super hosts, and the people who stay here love it.
Little Boho Farmhouse
Old and new come together in this swanky farmhouse. It was built in the early 1900s, but new additions have stretched the square footage, and the facelift brings out the home’s personality. Walk to downtown from this stunning piece of history, which surprisingly is set at a reasonable price.
Gorgeous Modern Barn
While a polished, country-style Airbnb Plus, the dropping four-bedroom home with a huge kitchen was once a humble Amish tobacco barn. All the woods still shine through, and while pretty ritzy, you can still appreciate the past when browsing around. From the stone fireplace to planked wooden doors, it’s all just exquisitely done.
Private Stone Cottage
With rocks enveloping the exterior of the structure, the old cozy home looks as if it belongs to Snow White. Natural materials and tones keep the inside consistent with the fairytale atmosphere, while of course there’s a bit of refinement via furniture and certain touches. Historical sites and other fun places to visit aren’t far away.
Villa Toscana 11 Acre Retreat
Designed like an Italian villa, from the exterior stonework to the tiniest details on the inside, you feel as if you’re in Tuscany rather than Tennessee. While located on eleven lush acres of green fields, the beauty is only a few minutes from downtown Franklin. Four bedrooms, one of which is a Venetian style, 500 square foot master, add ample space and an ambient retreat for everyone.
Luxury Retro Cottage
Don’t let size deceive you—this wee Airbnb Plus is brimming with contemporary character. Everything you need for a romantic weekend away resides within this fresh country escape. The host will personalize each stay, adding an extra special touch for anniversaries or other celebrations. Franklin is only eight miles down the road.
