Craftsman's Cottage of West Main

For those wanting a true Franklin experience, you have found your spot. With plenty of natural light, a throughly clean environment and thoughtful details, you will be able to unwind and enjoy your stay. Conveniently located less than a mile from downtown Franklin and minutes from grocery stores, coffee shops and restaurants.

The newly renovated Craftsman Cottage is outfitted with four bedrooms. Two bedrooms are on the main floor, each with soft queen beds and a full bathroom between them. The master bedroom with its soaring, original rafter ceilings is located upstairs, with a plush queen sized bed. Off the master bedroom is a spacious master bathroom. Also upstairs is a smaller bedroom with trundle bed and cozy sitting room. Our kitchen is stocked with all the cookware for making a nice homemade meal. We also provide a coffee maker and a juicer. The bathrooms are stocked with Shampoo and Conditioner and fresh bath towels. There is also laundry on the premises.

We have two parking spaces at the front of the house. Guests who booked are permitted to bring up to four cars. Besides the two specific spots in the front of the house, guests can park in front of the right (as you are looking at it) garage door. The left garage door is designated parking for the guest house in the back.

We are always available for a text or a phone call during your stay! We love the Franklin area and would love to help you have the best possible experience.

We live in a quiet neighborhood that is family friendly. Close to parks, coffee shops and restaurants. Our house is located on a quiet street and walking distance to downtown Franklin. The majority of the walk has a sidewalk.

Perfect little cottage
We come to Franklin often & were getting tired of staying in hotels especially this time with a group. This ended up being more affordable for everyone and a lot more comfortable to enjoy time with one another. Highly recommend!

Relaxing at Craftsman's Cottage
We stayed at Craftsman's Cottage on West Main for a girls weekend, and it did not disappoint. The cottage was very convenient to downtown Franklin, where we took advantage of the restaurants and shops. We also enjoyed the atmosphere and coffee at Elroy. The décor of the cottage is very calm and relaxing. We loved the photo ops along the back walls of the property - so cute! I highly recommend Craftsman's Cottage. Gretchen is a fantastic host! We will definitely be back.

Perfect for our girls weekend!
We loved this craftsman cottage for a girls trip, and it was perfect for the 4 of us! It was cozy and every room was so clean and cute. Gretchen was communicative and had some snacks and coffee in the kitchen for us. Location was great- quiet neighborhood not too far of a drive from everything. Try the Goat Yoga Nashville!:) Backyard had a cool painting that was a great photo backdrop. Be aware that the garage in the back is also a separate guest house, we got a knock on our door at night from those guests who thought ours was their house. So perhaps just make that more clear for the guests house residents.;) We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here again!!

We had a wonderful time in Franklin. The house was very comfortable, with lots of extra special touches. The location is outstanding, and walkable to downtown Franklin. The 2 bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs worked great, allowing privacy for us and our daughter’s family. The house and the location will not disappoint.

Franklin Wild and Free
We recently stayed at your home during the Wild and Free conference in Franklin. The home was wonderful, it was fully stocked with everything you could need. The location was perfect, close to amenities yet quiet neighborhood as well. The hosts were great to work with and even had a Wild and Free welcome basket for us upon our arrival. A very nice added touch. We will definitely be back. Thank you for an enjoyable stay.

Friend and family reunion
Perfect location to visit Franklin and Nashville, plenty of space . The upstairs master and bathroom are fabulous, tons of closet space. The back porch was perfect for a little happy hour time . We walked to Franklin several times , it’s a great walk past many historic houses. Plenty of towels and blankets, great communication with the owner. I would only say that 10 am is too early for a check out.

Great family place
We loved your home. We had 8 adults and 3 small children -- we all fit into the house. Well maintained and equipped. The only suggestion we have is you might consider installing a towel rack near the sinks in the master bath. We'll definitely recommend.
