Downtown Franklin loft
Property was exceptionally appointed and exactly as depicted in the pictures. As soon as we booked, owner began communicating and engaged again right before check-in. Can’t beat the convenience of the location. Walk to everything in town. Balcony space is lovely with the mountains in the background. Franklin is one of our favorite places and we would definitely book this property again!

Wow!
These photos do not capture all the luxury details! I’m kind of a VRBO expert and this is one of my absolute favorites! The location was perfect in this idyllic American town full of thriving shops and friendly people. Surrounded by Mountain Views and fun things to do, but still looked forward to returning “home” every single time. Just booked again for next year!
