Completely Renovated Historical Cottage -- Walking distance to Downtown Franklin

Welcome to Serenity Cottage
Here to experience all the charm and beauty of Franklin? You’ve picked the perfect place!

Serenity Cottage is more than just a name—it’s a dream brought to life. This home is built on land where soldiers once fought during the Civil War between the North and South. It’s even possible to find old gun shells in the backyard—a quiet, humbling reminder of the area’s deep history. I envisioned turning this land into a place of peace, healing, and beauty, which is why I named it Serenity Cottage.

Today, this cozy and inviting home offers a tranquil escape just 0.4 miles from the heart of Downtown Franklin. Enjoy a scenic walk to explore charming coffee shops, delicious local restaurants, and one-of-a-kind boutiques. Whether you're here for the rich history, Main Street festivals, live music, or antique shopping, Serenity Cottage is the perfect place to unwind after a day of adventure.

The Space:
Welcome to our charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with an additional den that features a large workspace desk and a full-size daybed—perfect for comfortably hosting up to 5 guests. Both bedrooms are outfitted with luxurious California King beds, and every room includes a TV for your entertainment. The living area also features a beautiful fireplace, creating a cozy space to relax and unwind.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be greeted by freshly redone landscaping and a welcoming front porch—ideal for sipping your morning coffee and soaking in the neighborhood charm.

Inside, the open-concept kitchen offers a warm and inviting space to cook, entertain, and gather with friends or family. It comes fully equipped with everything you need for your culinary plans!

Comfortable stay!

This is a cozy house close to Main Street in Franklin. We enjoyed an easy check in with a basket of goodies on the table - which was much appreciated after a long day of travel! We used the fireplace on a chilly morning and swung on the porch swing on a beautiful afternoon. Thank you for a wonderful stay with friends!
