Recent Franklin guest reviews

We enjoyed the property and location - was easy to get to town as needed and was close to outdoor adventures.
Randolph S. | Apr 2025
We will definitely be back! Gorgeous location and creek. Very zen and peaceful. Loved the porch set up! Wished the heaters worked to sit outside at night. Perfect size for a family of 4. It was just two of us and perfect as well. I worked while up there and had pretty good connection. Had a sugar ant issue and made the company aware. Def recommended!!

My two sisters and I (all in our 60’s) spent four nights and had a great time. The drive up the house is a bit steep and curvy but not scary. Very peaceful and beautiful area. People in Franklin were so nice and hospitable!
