We had an excellent time in the home. The house had everything we needed and more, and our stay was worry free and extremely relaxing. More importantly, the owners worked with us to make this happen last minute since we decided to make this trip a few days before our arrival day. They were really attentive and were concerned with our comfort during our stay above everything else. we will recommend this home to our friends and would love to stay there again when we get another opportunity to take a vacation to Franklin.

The house was easy to find. The house was very clean and well maintained. The owners were very helpful and helped us in anyway that they could. My husband and I would reccomend this house to anyone who wishes to get away for a few days, or even a month. Franklin is a place that is full of alot of friendly people and alot of places to see. My husband and I would reccomend that when you stay to go to the Great Smokey Mountain Performing Art Center they have some really great shows; or you can just sit on the deck and listen to the nearby creek,or watch the golfers, or watch the wildlife. You will have a wonderful time, I know we did!!!!

We had a wonderful time in the Franklin area for our Christmas vacation. The owners were very nice, and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable, and enjoyable. We were able to see a family our deer right down the road from the house on several occasions, and that was a big thrill for all of us. We wish we could have stayed longer, but we had to get back to reality. Thank you again for letting us stay at your home, and for making our stay a memorable one!!
