About the host
Hosted by Ricky Howe
We are Ricky and Debbie Howe from Tampa, FL. We have three amazing grown children and two beautiful grandchildren. We built our cabin with them in mind. We have large family functions and everyone has something to do. You can stay at the cabin for a week and never leave the property, or you can venture out to the neighboring areas for unlimited day trips. Franklin is surrounded by world class waterfalls, hiking, biking, brewery's, distilleries, shopping and dining. The cabin has everything you need. Our guiding principle was that we never wanted to live in a rental house; we wanted to rent our home.
