About this property

Downtown Franklin - Harlinsdale Park - Pet Friendly

The Cottage at Harlinsdale Farm! Quaint 1900's duplex apartment located in Downtown Franklin AND sits on the edge of a 200 acre park - former horse farm. PET FRIENDLY! Duplex has a living room, bedroom w/Queen bed, kitchen and bath. Your dog will love the lake/park! Very private and located in the heart of Franklin's attractions!......
The Space - This cozy 1900's cottage offers the best of both worlds, you are located at historic downtown Franklin AND beside Harlinsdale Park! The RIGHT side/duplex is available for guest! It is completely separate with your own private front door entrance with no shared spaces (the left duplex is owner occupied). You will enjoy being in the heart of everything Franklin has to offer! Walk out your back door and step onto the beautiful Harlinsdale farm! We are pet friendly! Walk to the lake (our lab loves to swim in it!) See the beautifully restored barn, the manicured walking trails, and have a picnic (we provide the picnic basket with cheese and crackers:-). Enjoy concerts in the park (view Franklin events calendar for Harlinsdale Park). Walk across the street to the historic Factory which has been restored into a shopping mall offering antiques, unique shops and restaurants (Saffires is delicious). Behind The Factory is the Farmer's Market offering organic fruits, vegetables and much more (open on weekends-seasonal). To visit downtown Franklin, make a right out of your cottage driveway and within 2 minutes you are in the heart of historic Franklin! ( the cottage is a prime location near the square, sometimes traffic can be a little heavy on Franklin Rd:-). Catch a show at the original Franklin Theater. Visit charming shops and restaurants on Main St! I recommend a steak at the "Cork and Cow". The "Red Pony" has a great Southern menu, as does "55 South" also. Go for a drive and take in the architecture of many homes listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The cottage sits on Main Street (Franklin Rd) as you approach the Franklin Square, and is surrounded by the 200 acre park with direct access from your yard. The cottage is a charming and quaint home away from home!

Cozy vintage getaway

Stepping back in time, this cottage definitely gives the feel of yesteryear. It is small, cozy and has everything you need as well as being adjacent to a great outdoor space. Also, you are walking distance from downtown Franklin and the Factory shops are just across the street.

Displaced Family

We placed a client of ours in this beautiful property. Our client enjoyed his stay here and the host was helpful. The host communicates well and worked well with us helping this family out while they had to be out of their home. We would most assuredly recommend this property for your next stay.

My daughter and I had a delightful stay and explore in Franklin! Everything about our visit was perfect! The cottage was cute, well appointed and situated just outside of the fun walking town filled with boutique shops and kind people! Sadly, there is no hot tube - however wished for there’s no room for it and it really wasn’t missed!

Great way to see Franklin

Pastoral setting at horse farm and city park, with easy access to downtown Franklin. Small, but charming cottage. Well equipped. Host is very friendly and a good communicator. Would recommend this property to singles or couples. The cottage next door has two bedrooms, so appropriate for family or two couples.

Charming cottage

This was the perfect location for some extended travel to the Franklin area. We could have stayed at the conference hotel, but we arrived a weekend before our conference and wanted to see the sights of Franklin and be able to bring our dog. We also wanted to be able to get exercise while spending some other long days in a conference center. The location could not have been better, we were able to take long walks, bike rides and visit a fantastic dog park on foot every morning! The Harlinsdale Park in surrounding property is also a stunning amenity (the amenities here are lovely). And we walked and biked to downtown Franklin which is a darling pedestrian city with so many dog lovers! We loved the coziness and homey feeling of the cottage which is restored and furnished in a way to be really historic to its circa. And having our own space to live, read and cook a few meals/make real coffee instead of eating a bunch of conference food etc was such a huge plus! Our host was wonderful! Check in and check out were very easy and we had all the small comforts we needed to stay for 6 nights! If you are looking for 5 star hotel luxury, go stay at the hotel. If you want a really peaceful, cozy and local experience this is definitely the right place. We are already planning another stay!

A true Gem In Franklin

I wish I could give the location/property 10 stars. If you have a dog, this is the best place I have ever stayed. My dog was in absolute heaven. It's so convenient and close to downtown and the horse farm is incredible. Host was amazing as well. Its small and quaint, an old farmhouse with modern decor feel.

Best Stay in Franklin

First, the hosts were so welcoming and communicated early and often to make sure we had all of the details we needed to get in safely and efficiently. The cottage itself is lovely and full of wonderful antiques. It was clean and cozy and just what we needed for our weekend stay. The location is most ideal—10 minute walk to downtown, steps from the a beautiful field/park and the BEST dog park. Our dog had the time of his life with us. I couldn’t recommend this place more. If you’re coming to Franklin, especially with a dog, choose this cottage

Delighted

Our stay in Franklin at this property was simply great. The property is located on the periphery of the Harlinsdale Park/Horse farm. We spent an hour or two walking the farm every day. The sunsets across the rolling hills here are indescribable. The property itself exceeds the pictures and description and was perfect for our stay. And our host could not have been any better -- will definitely stay here again.

Great Get-away

My wife and I wanted to be able to take our dogs (Lab and Jack Russell) on vacation with us. The challenge we faced wa the weight limits on pets for may VRBO's. This place was perfect. It is directly next door to a dog park with a lake. We would get up early and let the dogs swim and take them for hike on the clearly marked trails. While the pups rested we would venture into Franklin. The only downfall is the contraction on the street in front of the house. I am not complaining, Melanie made us fully aware of this before we rented. One the construction is complete there will be great sidewalks to take you into town. I will stay here again.
