Mark's home was absolutely fantastic. We were at the end of a long road trip and thought that this home was perfect. Check-in was extremely easy, the space was cozy, and it was close to both Franklin and Nashville. We also loved visiting the chickens in the morning! Overall, this place was a 5/5.

Mark was very communicated and responsive leading up to and during our stay. This place is an amazing alternative to a hotel. Well appointed, huge walk-in shower and kitchenette. Also, a great location for those visiting Franklin. Less than 10 minutes to downtown Franklin. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!
