About this property

Historic Home in Downtown Franklin - Walk to ALL the Charm & Convenience

A unique opportunity to rent a beautifully renovated, Victorian on W Main street in downtown Franklin. The "Rhodes-House" home is on the National Register of Historic Places and 2 blocks from all of the attractions! Stroll to all the charm!

Franklin is considered the number one small town in Tennessee and also made the top 10 on Southern Living’s ‘Best Small Town’ list. Experience this sweet community and southern hospitality, while enjoying the history, upscale shopping, dining and live entertainment…all just a leisurely stroll down Main Street...with Sweet CeCe's Yogart and Starbucks being your first two stops.

This home is ideal for a romantic escape, in-town vacation, weekend with friends, wedding party or vacation for the whole family. Our home has also been utilized for photo and video shoots, so let your imagination run wild! If you are a fan of Brownland Farm, we are also conveniently located within a couple of miles. Our home is also on every major parade route, so be sure and check into Franklin festivals and parades.

The house features twelve foot ceilings, four bedrooms and two baths with over 2600 sq ft of living space and 4 fireplaces. The kitchen is stocked with all of your everyday needs and includes an enormous pantry and fully equipped laundry room.

At the end of the day, relax on the patio in the private backyard or enjoy the people watching on the front porch swing. The home includes a 50” HDTV for your entertainment enjoyment and a unique collection of vinyl records for your listening pleasure.

The home sits on a rare and level double lot and is professionally landscaped. There is a 2 car garage and private driveway in the rear with additional street parking in the front. A Weber gas grill is also available during the spring, summer and fall. There are 4 bedrooms (1 king, 2 queens, 1 double/full). An optional inflatable queen bed will allow for two additional guests.

This house is truly a gem and has a character all it's own...we look forward to sharing it with you.

The house was perfect for our stay in Franklin. Close to downtown and in a lovely neighborhood. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch watching people walk by. You could feel the history of the home. It was well appointed. We would stay there again!

Classic Home in Historic Franklin

This is a sprawling, single story home built in 1895 and located on Main street surrounded by lovely stately homes and within an easy walk to downtown Franklin. We enjoyed eating at McCreary's Irish pub; Gray's on Main and Pucketts. A 20 minute drive thru beautiful rolling fields leads you to the very small community of Leipers Fork, where you should go see live music at Fox & Locke.

Great Location and Franklin is Fantastic

Place was very clean and communication was spot on. Franklin is great and after travel my wife and I left the teenagers in the house to order Doordash. We walked to a bar and enjoyed some cocktails. My wife loved waking up in the mornings and sitting on the porch with coffee, a book and listening to music. Great spot and house is everything we hoped it would be.

Daughters and friends laid back bachelorette get together

This place is charming and meets all the Downtown Franklin expectations. It feels like your in a hallmark movie! Within walking distance of all that the downtown square has to offer. You feel like your stepping back in time yet fully stocked with all the modern day amenities to make your stay comfortable. No need for anything when you stay in this lovely home.

Very Relaxing

Beautiful home. Worked well for our group. The only thing that might make it even better is a lager table With 4 bdrms, that would mean up to 8 ppl. If to rains like it did for us, bigger table for games etc would be perfect . Otherwise, it was awesome. We will be back definitely.

Mother’s Day Getaway

This house is great! We didn’t do any cooking but the kitchen is very well equipped. The rooms are homey and spacious. Everyone said their bed was comfortable and slept great! We enjoyed the porch and people watching. The house is so close to the square that most of the time we walked. There are so many good places to eat and neat shops to shop! The neighborhood is safe and beautiful to walk around. We didn’t have any issues but Thomas was always very friendly and quick to respond with questions I had! Overall, I highly recommend and would stay here again!

We are from Arkansas and stayed here during my son’s wedding weekend. It’s is a Beautiful home and was in walking distance of the church and our son’s rehearsal dinner. It was the perfect place to stay for such a special weekend. The host was great to communicate with and very accommodating. Can’t wait for our next visit!

The location can't be beat. Walkable to historic Franklin. A quick drive to many other sites. The house is very spacious inside. Plenty of places to sit and hang out. The kitchen is well stocked. Each bedroom is large. There is off street parking. We loved swinging on the porch swing watching the world go by.

The location and ease of this property was wonderful! We walked to Franklin often and really enjoyed the location. The owners were kind and made the stay very easy! It is an old historic house so there are creaks and character that make it a fun place to stay. Our only suggestion is the property could use some upkeep on the outside and some freshening up of furniture and paint on the inside. The beds were very comfortable
