Recent Franklin guest reviews

We enjoyed our time at Coweeta Rapids so much. The cabin was very clean and beds were comfortable. We loved going down to fish and tube in the river. Guests that struggle with mobility would have trouble going down to the river and coming back up because it is pretty steep. We would definitely stay again!

We had a pleasant stay at the Treehouse. The house is as described and shown through photos. Both the open and covered porches provided wonderful places to enjoy the peaceful surroundings, whether the sun was shining or during a rainstorm. The only complaint was checking in. The lock code that was provided didn't work. After many frustrating attempts, we tried to call for assistance, but there was no cell service. So, we had to drive back down the gravel drive and several miles out to get service. I called the 800 number and was on hold for about 15 minutes before deciding to text. Thankfully, a chatbot was very responsive and we received other instructions to enter the house, which worked once we drove back. It would also be helpful to provide instructions for how to turn on the string of lights around the covered porch. It was not obvious and was another reason why we had to reach out for assistance. In both cases, we received friendly help.
