This historic home was a pure joy to stay in. It was the perfect location, extremely well stocked with everything anyone would need or want, and it had charm and elegance while still being homey. We have stayed in dozens of short-term rentals and this one was definitely a top choice.

David and Deena were wonderful! This home is stocked with just about everything you would need, right down to the noise machine for better sleep. The home was clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The location is perfect, only a few minutes walk to the cute little shops and restaurants. The town of Franklin is the most charming place I've ever been. It belongs in a Hallmark move!
