Tiny home in Franklin

BEST Mountain view in Franklin! *New Tiny!*

JeffreyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This place was amazing! SUPER clean—even under the furniture. The view was absolutely beautiful, and it was so peaceful to start the morning with tea on the porch. The neighbor was very kind and thoughtful—we only saw him once, but he came by multiple times to leave firewood for us. The host was also incredibly responsive; I only had to reach out once and got an immediate reply. The tiny house was well-stocked with linens and towels, more than enough for our family of four. A couple of tips for future guests: the towels are really thick (a good thing!), but we found it easiest to wash them daily since they took a while to dry between uses. Also, the queen bed is quite soft—some may love that, though I personally prefer a firmer mattress. We stayed for an entire week and were impressed that the host provided plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, and dishwasher tabs—we didn’t have to purchase anything extra. My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The Hideout: Mountaintop Retreat w/ Views

Michelle KRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

The stay was lovely. It was a long drive up a gravel road. It was beautiful. It would have been easy to get lost. Which we drove around a few times when leaving for food. Definitely wouldn’t want to drive that road after dark. Room was clean and had an excellent shower. Susan sent messages to let us know if we needed anything to let her know. All in all, great stay and would recommend.

Cozy mountain-top cabin home

JillRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We had an exceptional stay at The Nest in Franklin. The cabin was gorgeous and very comfortable. Loved the uncluttered decor. The covered decks and view…amazing. Ian and Caroline were easy to contact and responded promptly to questions. Also appreciated that check out did not involve a long list of chores before we left. We enjoyed the privacy and beautiful scenery of the cabin and our trips to area towns and attractions kept us busy. Also we scouted many streams and rivers for fishing fun. Hope to return and stay at The Nest again!
