If you want a unique place to stay close to Franklin and Nashville TN, then look no further. The is an actual working recording studio. So a any given time you will hear music! The vibe is so chill!!! I can’t wait to Go back!!! Thank you Robin for sharing a bit of your country paradise with us.

Great communication. Relaxing atmosphere

Such a unique place to stay! Enjoyed our stay and loved talking with the young people that work there - so friendly and accommodating.

In town only for the weekend and Robin’s place was the perfect accommodation! Well appointed and felt like a genuine getaway from our daily lives! Thanks for sharing the property with us!

Good in many ways, location, host, unique place to stay. The host and his manager were excellent to deal with very helpful and accommodating even in the freezing temps! However there are a few things I think could have been better or should be addressed for the next peeps. The place needs a deep cleaning... there is dust every where. Before we used the stove we had to wipe the dust off. The bathroom had a layer of dirt and dust on the floor. It seemed like whoever cleaned it just wiped anything at eye level with a dry rag. I think this is simply something the host can address with the cleaners he hires. He should be made aware that the 65.00 cleaning fee isn't really worth it. One other thing to mention is the queen bed, it has seen better days it is caved in at the middle. Again just something the host should be aware of so he can resolve for the next person.

We enjoyed the solitude and uniqueness of this property. I was hoping to see a few stars, but it was mostly students and some very cute children cutting a Christmas cd for family.

I love music and staying in the apartment was such a unique

I unexpectedly found this property and honestly had no idea what to expect. What a great discovery. We had everything we needed in such a unique and private retreat. The staff was friendly and helpful and the grounds were so pretty. The property is super convenient to Leiper's Fork and Franklin and we took advantage of all both towns had to offer. Thanks for the great stay!

WOW! This place is something to see. It's so so different and unique and full of coolness. Nestled in the country, but so close to the center of Franklin and Leiper's Fork this property was the perfect place to stay for 2 nights while touring around the area. Despite being located in a working studio it was quiet and comfortable. Emily was so easy to work with and was so helpful. Ask for a tour of the studios, it's an audiophile's dream!

What a house! So cool to explore and find a great quiet spot to relax and enjoy the silence. Our room was clean and included everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay.

We had a great time at the gatehouse, and at the Dark Horse Estate in general. In the main living area there are artists and engineers doing their thing, such a cool vibe if you love music! The room itself is very cozy and neat, with a very private feel to the porch area. Emily did a great job with the check in process and made us feel very much at home. Overall, we would definitely come back for a weekend getaway!

My husband and I (and our two fur babies) enjoyed our stay at the Dark Horse so very much! Robin, Emilee and Hailey were absolutely the best host/hostesses! The Dark Horse is the R&R spot you never knew you needed! We can’t wait to return soon with more family!

Love love love this property, we had an amazing time staying here. Such a unique experience. If you’re looking for something that shows a part of the music industry that people don’t normally think about, the recording process this is a great place to visit. Also the accommodations were outstanding and the view of the property from our en suite deck. Thanks Robin and team for a great stay.

This was the perfect getaway for my husband and me! We celebrated our 17th anniversary! It was such a peaceful place and the restaurants downtown Franklin were delicious! I highly recommend this place!

Just loved the facility but what made the place even better were the staff and people there. Just great to work with and a pleasure to do business with as well.

Amazing, amazing property and on-site service. Everything you would ask for with the room as well as propert experience. Also close to shopping, music, sight seeing and rural experience. Will stay at this property as often as travel takes us there!!

I am rendered speechless by how incredible our experience at the Dark Horse was. It was a bucket list item I never knew existed! It is literally a small slice of heaven- a once in a lifetime experience. Robin and Emilee are fantastic. They made us feel right at home and we will cherish the memories of our time here forever! Thank you!

Dark Horse is a beautiful place and we really enjoyed ourselves. My daughter especially appreciated the tour. One caveat: We were fine, but anyone with mobility issues would have challenges with all the stairs.

We absolutely loved this place and will come again. Beautiful grounds and a cozy room with a view minutes from everything we like in Franklin. Hosts were kind and offered my family members a studio tour, which was a highlight.

Friendly. Beautiful. Different in a Great Way. All people there, including the owner Robin and Emilee the assistant/tour guide/source of answers to all questions, made our stay very special.

One of a Kind. A working recording studio in an idyllic setting close to great towns. The staff is more than helpful and kind. The owner humble and sincerely interested in you as people and as a guest.

Really liked the property and experience.

The gatehouse was clean and very comfortable. Being close to where music was being made and produced was very exciting and interesting. The property is in a serene setting and the host was very gracious and kind. Justin (intern) was very informative about the production side of the music business and toured us around. We were able to sit in on some recording sessions and converse with the artists and producers. Short drive to music row . Definitely one of a kind vacation!

This place has great vibes, convenient location, amazing architecture, beautiful setting, and an amazing manager. Emily was friendly and had spot on restaurant information. When she said the “Cheeserie “ had the best sandwiches , she wasn’t kidding. Her dinner suggestion, “1892” was also delicious. As a golfer herself, she directed us to a course that we won’t soon forget. While it kicked our butts, it was a great experience. She responded immediately to any questions or requests. Staying at a real recording studio is the perfect setting for your Nashville area vacation. Too cool.

I was looking for a unique place to stay and found it at The Dark Horse. Robin and Emilee were fabulous hosts. Great communication and responsiveness and very accommodating and friendly. The property itself is gorgeous and a true hidden gem. Our room was the perfect size and layout and the porch was where we spent most of our time just talking and listening to music. I knew it was going to be an unforgettable stay when we heard Dolly Parton singing in one of the studios. We’ll never forget our stay and will be coming back to stay one day one soon. I highly recommend this place. It was fabulous and so chill.

Beautiful property away from the bustle of Nashville. Staff was helpful and friendly.

Couldn’t have asked for a better place or better people to deal with!

Wonderful atmosphere with wonderful people. I highly suggest checking this place out you will not be disappointed!!

Numerous light bulbs out, jacuzzi tub inoperable, lack of clean seating on porch areas, lack of seating in room, microwave lacked power, old appliances, a kuerig would be nice this day and age

Loved it!! Emily is a dream!!!

We enjoyed our stay at Dark Horse.

Great place and lovely staff!
