Quaint

This property is cozy and in a fabulous location. We enjoyed the space and the ease of walking into town. We didn’t like that you couldn’t open any windows. We were suspicious of the bathroom having mold/mildew on the ceiling because there’s no ventilation or fan. There should be a window with a screen installed in the bathroom. Besides that it was very charming. One other thing, if there are guests upstairs in the attic it can be noisy if they aren’t quiet, but the owner was very kind and made sure the people upstairs knew to be quiet, and they were for the most part. We had a wonderful stay.

Franklin Stay

The location and management were excellent. You can walk to all things downtown Franklin. I only had one small request while there and they accommodated immediately. Be aware you are paying for a great location and two bedrooms. The property itself is fairly old and needs some updates, in particular the bathroom and amenities. There are many steps to access the front door so bring your muscles if you have luggage. Overall the stay was fine. Thank you!

Great location

We enjoyed being walking distance to downtown Franklin. It’s a lovely historic neighborhood with plenty of shopping and restaurant options. The apartment had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. Kitchen well stocked with plates/cups. Snacks left by host (popcorn, fruit gummies) were much appreciated. Host was responsive. Parking in the back was easy. The items that could be improved 1) You should disclose that there is a resident staying in the attic. It’s not in the description so you can imagine how creepy it was to wake up to floors creaking above your head in the middle of the night. I didn’t sleep well because the sounds overhead kept waking me up. We actually stayed with a friend for one of the nights because I needed some rest. 2) when checking under the kids’ beds for items they might’ve left behind, I noticed a thick layer of dirt/dust underneath the bed. That explains why they woke up with stuffy noses. Might ask your cleaning crew to clean under there. 3) All windows are sealed shut and there’s no vent in the bathroom. We opened the balcony door to get fresh air but would have been nice to be able to air out the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms 4) internet was too slow to be usable. We ended up using our cell data (not ideal).

GIRLS WEEKEND

Communication with owner - was slow to respond. We arrived at the property early and was hoping we could possibly check in early. We called around 2:30 - he sent a text 4 hours later and said - I guess you all are in already - sorry for the delay. Check in time was 4:00 pm so we waited until this time - since we hadn't heard back from owner. Door was unlocked - which wasn't good. Went down to his office three times - door unlocked - but no one was in the office - which was weird. Upon arrival - noticed a bad fish smell coming from the garbage disposal. Dead large Cockroach on the floor next to bed in twin bedroom. Getting ready to go to bed - and one of the twin beds didn't have a top sheet. Moved a chair away from the wall - there was someone's dirty sock and 2 pieces opened candy on the floor. Place could be very charming - but needs a really good cleaning and TLC. We would have liked to set out on deck - but it was a mess overflowing with leaves and the cushions were very dirty and soiled. Deck should have been blown off -and tidier. Deck needs major repair - it's a disaster waiting to open. Loose boards - and very dangerous. This was not a cheap rental for only two nights. Location was great - within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants. Kitchen was well supplied with bottled water, snacks, coffee. The brochure on the coffee table with things to do and restaurants - very outdated - several of the restaurants closed. Parking lot needs repaired

Great property in a great location

My husband & I stayed for 4 nights in this wonderful little property. It was two bedrooms, one with a nice queen and the other with two singles. The bath is spacious and well equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed and the living room was cozy and comfortable to relax in, after spending long days sightseeing in the town and nearby. Don't let the thought of climbing some stairs to access the property on the 2nd floor. It is worth it for the place and its location. We can't wait to come back.

Sisters Weekend

My two sisters and I, ages 60-73, stayed here for 3 nights over the annual Dickens Festival. We had to only walk a block and a half to where the booths were lined up along Main Street. We enjoyed each having their own bed. We loved sitting in the living room in the evenings, watching movies, snacking and reminiscing childhood memories and making new ones. The kitchen was perfect for morning coffee, evening snacks and wine and late night hot cocoa. We highly recommend this rental.

Host profile image
Lifelong Nashville/Franklin residents, my business partner and I live in Franklin and love the community. We welcome guests to enjoy our lovely town.

Why they chose this property

There are very few short-term rental properties within Franklin's historic district. One block makes a big difference in the walkability of the area, so for those looking to shop, eat and be entertained in downtown Franklin -- and especially those without a vehicle -- The Overlook is perfect.

This is a Sears Roebuck home built in 1925, with all the lovely features you'd expect, including original hardwoods and crown molding, while having been updated to suit today's modern needs.

What makes this property unique

The Overlook is within Franklin's 16-block historic district, walkable distance to almost everything. It truly is a rare two-bedroom property.
