Great location from downtown Franklin, The Factory, and historical sites. We loved the enjoyable walk downtown for breakfast at the Frothy Monkey. We also attended the Grand Ole Opry for their 100 year anniversary night which was awesome! Getting around from our home base was easy and enjoyable. The Blakely’s Stone Cottage was comfortable for the four of us adults (room to spare, with a set of bunks that were not even used), and we had along two small fur babies, who enjoyed a fenced in back yard. We had everything we needed, as far as equipment and serving pieces to prepare a lovely Thanksgiving meal! We would highly recommend this awesome home for a family gathering in the quaint community of Franklin!

Wonderful Stay

We had an amazing time staying in Blakely’s Stone Cottage. It was very convenient to downtown Franklin. The hosts were amazing and kept in contact with us making sure things were good throughout our stay. Of course the house is historical, but on the inside it had all the comforts of a newer home. Very clean and nice. We would definitely stay there again!

Charming historic home

Our family stayed in the Blakely’s Stone Cottage for two nights and it was perfect. We are local to the area and needed a place to stay during a move. The house was exactly what we needed. We were able to bring our two dogs and our whole family relaxed for two days while we waited for our new house to be ready. The house is historic and has been lovingly updated. The historic charm has been preserved while allowing for modern updates. It was clean and comfortable and had plenty of space for the 6 of us. The host was very responsive and kind. This would be a perfect spot to come and explore Franklin and rest at the end of the day.

Great house

If you do not like staying in big cities like Nashville, this house is ideal. The house is very comfortable and spotless. The fenced yard is perfect for your dog. As advertised it is a short walk to civil war sites. And a short drive to the Natchez Trace, Leiper's Fork, and Nashville. Perfect!

Lovely little cottage close to downtown

We enjoyed our stay at this cute cottage near downtown Franklin. It was a quick couple of minutes drive to downtown where parking can easily be found at the 4th Street parking garage. The house is stocked with everything you could need for a comfortable stay, board games and puzzles to entertain the kids, and a cute little coffee/tea bar in the kitchen (I especially loved the electric tea kettle!).

Repeat Renter at this Property

We really enjoyed our stay at this property several months ago, so rented it again. On this visit, we had some time to enjoy the second-floor sun porch at the front of the house. It is a great place to watch people and cars go by, or to read a book. We were very comfortable in this home and plan to book it again.

My family loved our stay at the Blakely House. Blakely House is a historic home that has been beautifully redone. The home still has so much of the historical charm with all the modern conveniences. The hosts also had a great area with maps & information about the beautiful town of Franklin. We were visiting the area because it was a convenient spot for a tournament we were in but ended up loving the town of Franklin. We loved our stay & we'll definitely choose Blakely House again.The

Diamond with History

Our stay was not only superb, featuring a spotless home with all the amenities, but also has a facinating history. Our hosts were the best, most communicative from the start. Home was warm and welcoming. Parking was ample behind the property which was a short walk from the Carter and Lotz historic homes. We are looking forward to a return later this year, God willing.
