Home away from Home

This was our third visit. The home was clean and ready for us. The bathrooms were well stocked with towels and hot water for our showers. The dogs loved the fenced-in yard as well. This house has great space for multiple people to feel comfortable. The kitchen is a good open space with a great river view. We will stay again!

Perfect for Family

We booked this stay last minute, due to a death in the family. Jonie was extremely understanding and accommodating. The host’s kindness was truly a blessing in our family’s time of need. Highly recommend this rental. Very spacious and lots of room for everyone to comfortably spread out. Also, a very safe area and close to everything

Family gathering

The property overall was great for the purpose of my family to gather. It was large enough to host a Thanksgiving gathering. The property was clean and in orderly fashion when we arrived. The property manager was within a text or phone call away and answered a few questions I had. I was told the kitchen stove was a little finicky but I had no issues with it. Some of the chairs for the tables were a little unstable. The bedrooms were set up nicely and the beds were very comfortable. The linens were very well stocked. The kitchen could have had more pots, baking pans and serving bowls.

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.

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.
