Great location
This property worked well for us as a family wedding was in the area. Plenty of beds and rooms to get away from each other for visiting.

historic house in Franklin
The house is beautiful. If you have ever wondered what an old Victorian house looks like then this is for you. There is wifi, but it is spotty. There is lots of room and interesting photos on the walls. My problem is with the overwhelming fragrance that was sprayed on all the furniture and the fragrance in all the linens. If you don't have allergies then that won't be a problem.

This was a great house for our large extended family gathering for a memorial service nearby. Convenient, lots of room and the air conditioned bedrooms were perfect. Thanks!

Wonderful Stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is wonderful. It is an older home, but that is what makes the experience better. When we head back to Franklin, we’ll look to stay there again.

Blast from the past with plenty of room!
My sisters and mom stayed while celebrating our grandmother's 90th bday. This big beautiful home is like staying in a museum with family photos and treasures throughout the home. Window a/c kept us perfectly comfortable but the weather was nice enough to sit on the deck, watch the river, and play games. Home was very clean and there was plenty of hot water for our showers. The dog loved the fenced in yard as well. Prepare for stairs as all bedrooms are up. Jonie was very responsive throughout the process and Ryan next door stopped over to make sure we had all our needs met. The home is a short walk into town where we sat in the park, went to the farmers market, stopped at the coffee shop, etc. We would definitely recommend this home and would stay here again.

150 Year Old Historic Home
This is a unique historic mansion with plenty of room and a large open-space kitchen, where we spent most of our time. There are plenty of towels and paper products for our use, comfortable beds, and a great location. This is our second stay as vendors at the annual Franklin May Mart. I love that the house is pet-friendly and has the bonus of a fenced-in yard.

Spooky
This is an old family home. We had a great time, but there were a few small issues. The fuse blew to the hot water tank, so we took luke warm showers. Also, there was a bat in the house late one night. 😳 If you are looking for nice, but spooky, We suggest this home.

My family is all from the area and wanted a local town feel while visiting. We had a great experience overall walking downtown, enjoying the bike trail, views of the river, and such beautiful accommodations for our family visits!
