What makes this property unique
The Garden Level Suites are part of the Historic McCoy House, one of Franklin’s most iconic antebellum homes, built in the early 1800s. Fully restored with care and craftsmanship, the property blends Greek Revival architecture, original woodwork, and period charm with modern comforts. Guests enjoy a private ground-floor suite with exclusive access to the rear deck, offering peaceful outdoor lounging just steps from their room.
But what truly sets this space apart is the story it tells. The McCoy House has witnessed over two centuries of Appalachian history—from the Civil War through the modern revitalization of Franklin. We’ve brought this landmark back to life not just as a place to stay, but as a living tribute to our town’s heritage.
Whether you're here for an event, a quiet getaway, or a bit of history, you’ll experience small-town hospitality, immersive storytelling, and uncommon beauty—all under one historic roof.
