A Gem!

The Dahl House is truly charming and special. Beautifully decorated and well appointed with anything and everything we needed. The location is fantastic. Waking distance to Main Street. Communication with Nanci was stellar throughout the process. We highly recommend the Dahl House to all future guests and will plan to stay again next time we are in town.

Wedding in Leipers Fork, TN

Stayed two nights in June 2024 while in town for a wedding in nearby Leipers Fork. Had great communication with the owner. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen very functional. The only issue we ran into was that there wasn't DirecTV or any cable TV. WiFi didn't work very well either. Neither was a big issue for us though.

Wonderful Home!!!

We LOVED our stay at the Dahl House! The home itself is charming, lots of character, and perfectly clean. The front porch swings and Adirondack chairs were a big hit and we hung out there a lot. The kitchen is new, but classic and staying with the look of the home. The location just can’t be beat. We walked a lot while staying there. The Franklin square is one block over. Can’t say enough about this place! I left some of our clothes hanging on the back of the bedroom door and Nanci was great about helping me get them back. Highly recommend the Dahl House!!

Fall Getaway to Franklin

We just spent a great weekend in Franklin with our 16 and 13 year old at the beautiful Dahl house. The home has so much character but has been beautifully restored and decorated. The living room furniture was so comfy for our evenings back at the house and we slept like rocks in the super comfortable beds. All the perfectly placed fall decor put us right in the mood. We enjoyed Gentry Farms one day and Nashville on another. And of course, the PumpkinFest downtown was so fun and it was great to be able to walk there from the house and not have to worry about parking. Thank you again for sharing your home with us. We look forward to a return.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Great location, cute home and beautifully decorated for Christmas. Cleanliness was lacking in several areas. We found only two wash cloths the first day. Later found wet wash clothes in bathroom drawer and others in a basket under TV in bedroom. Main thing, we found molded sausage left in oven from previous occupant. Just seemed like cleaning was done very quickly.
