About this property

1890's Home In Historic Downtown Franklin

Rose Cottage charms her guests. This Victorian home was built in the 1890's and lies within the original surveyed five block square area of Historic Downtown Franklin.
When you arrive at Rose Cottage, you will be stepping back into the history of Franklin to enjoy a little piece of "times past" with its architecture and furnishings.
Even though the cottage has been completely modernized, it still is reminiscent of another time with careful attention given to the balance between old and new.

Rose Cottage is about a two minute walk to The Square and to Franklin's main attractions, venues and restaurants. There is no struggle to find a place to park
with its location being closer than much of the available parking. It is quite
convenient in the evening to be able to walk home from an evening spent downtown!

The cottage also features a private backyard where one is able to retreat from the
bustle of downtown. The spacious covered patio area is perfect for sipping your morning coffee. The glider and rocking chairs predate WWII. Enjoy perfect outdoor dining at the picnic table. If you are interested in outside sports, a ping pong table,
basketball goal, and croquet are available. There is also a portable fire pit, however you must supply your own wood.

Rose Cottage welcomes guests to enjoy our small town hospitality and the many special events Franklin hosts which make it such a delightful place to visit.

Wedding in Franklin

This house was ideal for our stay in Franklin. We attended a friend's wedding and the venue was literally around the corner. Main street is less than a 2 minute walk and the number of coffee shops, bars, restaurants and shops provides something for everyone. The property owner Sue was wonderful. Beautiful, well appointed home ideal for a small group. Would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Susan comer

Host profile image
The photo is with one of my granddaughters on a trolley ride to The Factory to get ice cream.
I have lived in Franklin for almost 35 years and all three of our daughters have grown up here. I personally manage Rose Cottage and The Franklin Guest House.
My desire is to make your visit to Franklin as lovely and comfortable as possible. If there is anything I can help you with, it is my pleasure.

Why they chose this property

My mother bought Rose Cottage when she was older so that she could be close to family. There is a guest house at the end of the driveway.
The Franklin Guest House (VRBO 584286) was our original short term rental.

What makes this property unique

There are other lovely short term rental listings in Franklin, but Rose Cottage is one of the very few properties that is in the original five block square area of Historic Franklin as it was surveyed by Abram Maury (uncle of Matthew Fontaine Maury). The accessibility to the downtown area is incredible. By being at the center part of Franklin, you have a wider range to many of Franklin's amenities that circle the town. Plus, the other benefit of Rose Cottage is that while it is downtown, yet it is private and you are able to retreat back to your own space.
