About this property

Historic Home in Downtown Franklin - Walk to ALL the Charm & Convenience

A unique opportunity to rent a beautifully renovated, Victorian on W Main street in downtown Franklin. The "Rhodes-House" home is on the National Register of Historic Places and 2 blocks from all of the attractions! Stroll to all the charm!

Franklin is considered the number one small town in Tennessee and also made the top 10 on Southern Living’s ‘Best Small Town’ list. Experience this sweet community and southern hospitality, while enjoying the history, upscale shopping, dining and live entertainment…all just a leisurely stroll down Main Street...with Sweet CeCe's Yogart and Starbucks being your first two stops.

This home is ideal for a romantic escape, in-town vacation, weekend with friends, wedding party or vacation for the whole family. Our home has also been utilized for photo and video shoots, so let your imagination run wild! If you are a fan of Brownland Farm, we are also conveniently located within a couple of miles. Our home is also on every major parade route, so be sure and check into Franklin festivals and parades.

The house features twelve foot ceilings, four bedrooms and two baths with over 2600 sq ft of living space and 4 fireplaces. The kitchen is stocked with all of your everyday needs and includes an enormous pantry and fully equipped laundry room.

At the end of the day, relax on the patio in the private backyard or enjoy the people watching on the front porch swing. The home includes a 50” HDTV for your entertainment enjoyment and a unique collection of vinyl records for your listening pleasure.

The home sits on a rare and level double lot and is professionally landscaped. There is a 2 car garage and private driveway in the rear with additional street parking in the front. A Weber gas grill is also available during the spring, summer and fall. There are 4 bedrooms (1 king, 2 queens, 1 double/full). An optional inflatable queen bed will allow for two additional guests.

While we appreciate the character of an older home, the condition of this property did not align with how it is presented online. The home appeared more run down than expected, with worn furnishings and a level of cleanliness that made the space uncomfortable for our family.Similar concerns appear in prior reviews, which suggests these issues are ongoing rather than isolated. Because of this, we chose to shorten our stay.With thoughtful updates, improved upkeep, and clearer expectations set in the listing, this could be a much better experience. Until then, guests seeking a well-maintained and accurately represented property may want to proceed carefully.

We are from Arkansas and stayed here during my son’s wedding weekend. It’s is a Beautiful home and was in walking distance of the church and our son’s rehearsal dinner. It was the perfect place to stay for such a special weekend. The host was great to communicate with and very accommodating. Can’t wait for our next visit!

The location and ease of this property was wonderful! We walked to Franklin often and really enjoyed the location. The owners were kind and made the stay very easy! It is an old historic house so there are creaks and character that make it a fun place to stay. Our only suggestion is the property could use some upkeep on the outside and some freshening up of furniture and paint on the inside. The beds were very comfortable
