Franklin weekend

Long weekend stay. I chose site due to location near visiting horse farm. Nice older home in established neighborhood, stairs with sturdy handrail. Would have been easier to locate if I had gotten in before dark from Florida 😂. Code did not work on door on arrival but owner returned call quickly and solved the problem so we were happy with him! Thank you.
