This cute house had everything we could ask for - I even got ideas to take home. Loved the location that was within walking distance to the Main Street.
This charming home was set up to welcome anyone coming into town. The beds were comfortable the decor was warm and suitable to the home. I will definitely look at this home for accommodations in the future when coming into Franklin.
The house is beautiful, and the location is perfect. It felt so cozy and welcoming, and the house is very spacious. We loved the trains, and the beds were so comfortable! We’d definitely stay here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed this stay. The home was spotlessly clean and beautiful. The beds were comfortable and everything we needed was provided. The location was perfect for our visit within walking distance of Main St. Would definitely recommend to others.
Beautiful home a couple blocks from downtown Franklin. 2 large bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms. A very nice kitchen with comfortable seating at the counter and in the living room. Easy parking. Would certainly stay here again!
Very nice historic home that has been updated perfectly. It was very comfortable, had all of the necessities, and walkable to downtown. Amy was a great host.
A perfect place to stay for any Franklin visit. Charming well decorated and stocked house in a perfect location. Easy walking to restaurants, bars, shops and live music. It truly was everything we were looking for. Great for two couples. We had a fantastic time!

Pleasantly surprised at how clean and comfortable this home was. Located across from a nice park and three block walk to downtown main street. It is situated next to train tracks and it runs twice a day most days, but that didn't bother us.

Hi Ann,
I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at The Vaughan House. Most guests also tell me that they find the train is so charming and I have noticed that some days it only goes by once, the schedule seems to be sporadic. Hope to have you back again next time you visit!
