About this property

Stroll down Franklin's main street for shopping, antiquing, kayak tours, ghost tours, and airboat tours.

Arlington Mansion Carriage House

This was my first vrbo rental. As well as any type of rental. We typically stay at a traditional bed and breakfast. I am accustomed to more service and being fussed over a bit. However, The place is absolutely lovely. Well maintained buildings, wharf, lawn and landscaping. And even though we were on our own the host was reachable. They assisted us in a timely manner with each issue we had. My experience was a good one and I may use vrbo again. I would definitely return to Arlington Mansion if I have an opportunity to do so.
