Photos and Description of the Franklin vacation barn rental
Barn, 1 Bedroom + Other (See Description), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 4-6)

Come and relax in this beautiful country side where life is a little simpler, people are kinder and the grass truly is greener.

This barn loft apartment is an open floor plan with just over 700 square feet of room to enjoy. 'THERE IS NO KITCHEN'. Two (2) Queen size beds are available as well as (1) inflatable raised queen bed and a sofa to sleep on. The BATHROOM has a shower and no bathtub. There is a bean bag bed full size for children only. Large windows overlook the horse paddocks on both ends where you can watch our horses roam and and relax in the sunshine.

Accommodations are comfortable and serene as the farm is located on a dead end street with little traffic. Restaurants are within a few minutes from the farm as well as shopping and entertainment. Stay put and relax or venture out into the County for sight seeing and adventure.

Visit our small village Leipers Fork and enjoy shopping at our antique stores, browse our art galleries where local artists are displayed and then dine in our cafe and restaurants. Enjoy live music or join us for one of our towns festivals or events.

The farm has horses and dogs roaming and greeting our guests. The horse barn has 4 stalls, a wash bay and tack room. Four paddocks hold the horses along with a full size dressage arena lit for night riding. We welcome overnight guests with their horses who are traveling.

You don't have to own or travel with your horse to stay. You are free to enjoy the sight of our little herd out in the fields. If you chose to you may have a private horseback riding lesson taught by Kirstin. She has been teaching adults and children to ride for over 10 years and is exceptional at helping those intimidated learn the love of horses.

Also provided by appointment is our personal growth/therapy sessions that use Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. We are trained and Internationally certified through EAGALA for this. You may read more information at our website provided on the first page.

About Kirstin Mason

Chose this area to raise my daughter because of the beauty of the land, kindness of residents and peaceful surroundings. Originally from the northeast settled in Tennessee back in the early 1980's because of the kindness of the people and the beauty of the land. Life long horse owner/lover who likes to share her sanctuary with others.

Providing a unique service to the middle Tennessee area of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy is my honor. The only private practice in middle TN providing this service.

Kirstin Mason purchased this barn in 2002
Why Kirstin Mason chose Franklin

Quiet, serene, peaceful all while being in the great outdoors and close to a major city. Could not imagine living any other place because of the surroundings, the people and the weather. Hiking on the Natchez Trace is right around the corner from the farm.

What makes this barn unique

Having dogs and horses at your finger tips if wanted or just to view. If not you just enjoy your stay and ignore them. Though Avery (border collie) may ask you to play over and over again. Having coffee on the deck in the morning is a favorite pastime. Many enjoy the energy here as it is so serene.

Amazing Writer's Retreat

Amazing Writer's Retreat
  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jun 2, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2013
I am an author with a daughter who is also an aspiring novelist. For her 19th birthday, I wanted to surprise her with an overnight writing "retreat". I'm delighted to have found Kirsten's wonderful getaway on the farm.

In short, it was perfect.

We were greeted by the friendliest border collie you'll ever meet (and I am NOT a dog lover!), who escorted us up the steps to the loft. The loft itself was clean and welcoming. I can honestly say that my daughter and I had an AMAZINGLY PEACEFUL TIME here! We both slept well, and neither of us felt like leaving the next morning.

We got over 9000 words written between us, too. So it was well worth our time from a writing standpoint!

I would go back in a heartbeat. In fact, I am absolutely planning on it!

Owner's Response: Jill I was honored and happy to host both you and your daughter for her birthday. Did not know you both were here to write. You picked the perfect place as I love to write, for pleasure, and the farm is perfect for just that. I would gladly welcome you back to write anytime the two of you desire. Once again glad you enjoyed yourselves. Kirstin

Kirsten, Can not tell you how great it was to be back at the loft. And will be seeing you soon with Hubby! The farm is as beautiful in spring as it was back last Oct/Nov for the beautiful fall changing of the leaves, Gorgeous! Your Loft along with surrounding farm, isolated from hussle and bussle, is as I've said before in Paradise, Heavenly. Was very happy to see Avery, Maggie, Jet, Domino, Cruiser, Bo and lovely Molly. And most importantly, You.! It was such a joy to be able to visit with you, this time. You are a very gracious, wonderful host and the Loft is beautiful, anmenities rival any 5 star hotel, serene, peaceful along with the rest of the farm which surrounds the Loft. You know I Love it there. Thank you again, for your hospitality. jerry

It was fun going to dinner and getting to know you two better. I have to say I have the greatest guests ever! Can't wait to meet more of your family when you return in May. Hope we will once again get to go for sushi, no wasabi, lol. Kirstin

Perfect Getaway

  • Stayed: Apr 2013
My sister and I really enjoyed our stay! It was exactly the getaway we were hoping for. The farm itself was peaceful and relaxing, and the loft was beautiful and had everything we needed. We loved the dogs, especially Avery who was a delight for two city girls out of their element on a farm. She was a perfect little guide to the loft each night and would make sure we were safely inside before returning to bed. One of our favorite parts of the weekend was our horseback riding lesson with Kirstin. Kirstin was amazing with the horse as well as a very warm hearted person. At the end of the weekend, we felt very peaceful and restored, which was exactly what we needed. We hope to come back very soon!
Recommended for:  Girls Getaway, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: Melody and Harmony, it was so nice getting to know both of you girls and a pleasure hosting your getaway. I was honored to give you both your riding lesson and am glad you both learned so much about yourselves in the process. I hope if you head back to Nashville again you'll come visit even if you don't get the chance to stay here. Take care and don't forget lessons learned while on the farm. Kirstin
