Our family of 5 stayed at the Dragonfly for 4 nights. We appreciated the cleanliness of the home and proximity to adorable downtown Franklin (1/2 mile walk) where we frequented Millie’s for ice cream 3 nights in a row! The area was a place we felt safe in. The listing and pictures were accurate representations of the home. We didn’t really use the kitchen much, but it looked fully stocked with essential needs. Communication with the property owners was great. We didn’t really have any problems, and were able to use the keyless entry with ease. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Perfect location and wonderful home!

We had an excellent visit in Franklin for our annual family gathering. The home was well equipped and very comfortable. Convenient to lots of cute spots in the downtown area and not far from the freeway to explore the rest of Indianapolis! We enjoyed the snacks and spent some quality family time.
