The property is beautiful and very peaceful. We loved having a cup of coffee on our private porch in the morning. Communication with manager Robin was a great! We really enjoyed touring the studio spaces and having musicians around. The town of Franklin is nearby and so charming! Nashville is also within striking distance. We will be back!!!

Everything about this place was so amazing. Plan my next booking already! Friendly for Uber pickups too going downtown Nashville.

The property is super cool and a totally different experience. Our 5 year old loved the bunk beds in the bunkhouse room. The walkout porch allowed us to drink coffee outside and watch out little boy play in the yard. We could definitely hear music coming from the studio above on Friday night, but it was welcomed and enjoyed!! Robin was a gracious and friendly host and we look forward to returning.

Truly the most amazing and beautiful place and property we have stayed at in TN. We will definitely be back!

Perfect place to recant family stories, go for morning walks, and listen to the next hit be recorded.

The venue is a unique and rustic structure in a quiet and secluded area. Touring the grounds and the recording studio was an added pleasure.

Took my Mother and Brother here for my Mother's 79th Birthday. Outside of all the stairs for her it was a great experience and just the time away we all needed. I would love to come back with friends.

We had fun and felt welcome here!

I was looking for a place to get away with my sons and be able to bring my dog. This property was perfect! We were made to feel welcome and at home the entire time. An eclectic, unique property and experience. Very clean. Short drive to downtown franklin.

I think I just prefer a bit more cleanliness. There were about ten hand towels on the sink for us to wash our faces or dry our hands with standing mold on them. There were cobwebs & tons of dust on all of the dirty vents and mildew on the shower heads. Communication was VIP level, and the location was perfect, but the room conditions were less than ideal. Music playing at night was not really a problem, but there were so many cars one night that left us without a spot to park. There were plenty of pros but also plenty of cons for what was an expensive night's sleep. If this stay was $150 per night, it would make sense. I think we are just in the 3 star range.

Thank you Robin and everyone at Dark Horse for providing us with a truly unique experience during our stay in Franklin. We enjoyed the beautiful property and learning about the history of the Dark Horse Studio. Robin and the entire staff were very hospitable and ensured we enjoyed our stay at their property. Thank you again. We look forward to staying with you again soon.

Great 3 day getaway. Easiest VRBO ever. Robin, Emilee and the staff are amazing . The location is secluded yet close to historic Franklin. The area is beautiful, and the Dark Horse architecture is worth a visit. Would definitely go back!

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.

This property is amazing, beautiful, and incredibly open and accommodating. We enjoyed communicating with and meeting Emilee, the manager, who gave us a full tour of the studio and property. The location feels like a remote getaway, but if very close to lots of sites, shops, and restaurants.

Peaceful place not far from town - very pretty and not too remote. The "bunk house" is really just a hotel room so the name threw me a little. The room is nicely appointed and reminded me of Wolf Lodge accommodations. The bunks are not uncomfortable, but they are indeed bunks so be ready for that. There was a nice porch where I spent some time reading and enjoying watching my dog play on the property. When I arrived, I had just spent 3-4 really difficult days moving boxes and such - I was not in great shape physically and realized on arrival that both the possible paths to my room were somewhat difficult. A truly tiny woman took all my bags and belongings to my room for me. If she hadn't, I might have just slept in the car I was so exhausted, but she was so very kind (not to mention strong!) and provided this help at the exact right moment. Thank you!! There are coffee fixings in the room, but the kitchen is actually down the hall in a shared area. This was a nice, quiet place to hang out for a few days while our home was being shown.

Beautiful part of the country and great hospitality. Unusual setting being within an active recording studio. Can't wait to try the Cottage the next time I am in the area.

This was my second stay at Blackhorse, and won't be our last! It's a stunning property, and there's so much music and adventure to soak in. Definitely a must see!!

My wife, daugher (11) and I enjoyed this amazing property during a stay that required us to be in downtown Mashville for a week long event. The day we arrived there was a snowstorm which added to the fun. Robin is a wonderful host and the property is simply amazing. The Bunkhouse fit our needs perfectly and we loved staying there and hope to do so again.

I cannot say enough great things about our stay at the Darkhorse Bunkhouse. Emilee, our contact was so kind, friendly and helpful. The whole process was really easy and comfortable. Such a cool place to see and convenient place for us and our two puppies. There is always some kind of music happening. It is a recording studio and has such a great, low key vibe. It's not intrusive at all, just a cool background. Will definitely stay there again.

Magical. Not your usual VRBO rental! Everyone very friendly, highly recommended if you don’t mind coming and going with other people who are there to record and learn, as the main building (where the bunk room is) is an active recording studio.

Place was secluded but close enough to Franklin so that it wasn't a problem to go out for dinner, etc. Emilee and her staff were very accommodating including a tour of the premises and the recording studios. We stayed in the bunkhouse and the bunk beds were comfortable and plenty big enough for adults. The bathroom in the bunkhouse is worth the price of admission. Grounds are beautiful; we enjoyed sitting outside on the porch with blankets and sipping wine as we reminiced about our day in the area. There's something pretty cool about staying at a place where Taylor, Dolly, Reba, Keith, etc. recorded albums.

Absolutely stunning property, amazing staff, the location and property itself is indescribably beautiful! Can't wait for it next stay!! LOVE!!!

Good customer serive

The most relaxing place!! If you love music this is the spot! We woke up to saxophones & coffee which is incredible. I highly recommend this place!!!

My son and I needed a place to stay while our home was being renovated. It was a very "out of the box" location and I was kind of nervous at first. However, we had the best time. The Property Mgr, Emilee, was so helpful and quick to respond. It was also really cool for my son to be able to see and hear some of the recording sessions taking place at the studio. Its an experience you wouldn't find elsewhere. The actual bunkhouse was super cool and we never heard a peep from anybody when we were hanging out in our space. Its conveniently located near Nashville, Leipers Fork, and Franklin.

We flew into Nashville for a concert and we’re looking for a place to stay near Franklin to be outside the city and enjoy some quiet. The location and setting are beautiful. The staff were wonderful and the space was comfortable.. We moved our time at Dark Horse and look forward to coming back soon!

Beautiful property, incredible space, caring property management!

What a unique experience! I was originally going with my teenagers and thought it would be a fun experience to stay in an active and well-known recording studio environment as I show them the Nashville area. Unfortunately, my kids had unexpected assignments due in an already challenging academic year and did not want to risk not completing things in a timely manner. So I went on my own, and my experience at this venue absolutely ensures I will bring my kids back another time to experience it for themselves! The whole property is just beautiful, peaceful and interesting.Robin could not have been more accommodating and accessible. Everything you need is there and if it isn’t obvious, just ask! It is a bustling environment, so bear that in mind. I found it charming and familiar, as I used to work in the industry. I wouldn’t call it disruptive or loud at all—just that it is a working studio and you breathe in the sense that creative and wonderful things are happening around you!

Beautiful, secluded property and unique stay. It was the perfect place to celebrate my daughter's birthday as she is a music enthusiast. Emilee greeted us upon arrival and was helpful to any needs or questions that we had during our stay. We will definitely stay at this property again.

would stay there again. Quiet relaxing and charming.
