We came to Franklin for a family wedding on the outskirts of town and were happy not to have to come all the way from a hotel farther away. It was very convenient.
We enjoyed this house so much and it had pretty much everything you could need in general. We loved that there were so many areas of the downstairs to relax in comfort surrounded by interesting antiques (or at least vintage!) that added to the character of the house. And the art that is throughout the house (mentioned in other reviews) was interesting. Perhaps not everyone's taste, but we sure enjoyed looking at it all, especially the ceramics. Somehow all the vintagey furnishings and art played off eachother in a tasteful way and this house just had so much unusual interest!
The bedrooms were all great, nicely furnished as described previously, and sheets and towels were all provided and nice quality. The bedrooms are all on the second floor, which I did not know, but it was fine for us. However, there is a fairly steep set of stairs (typical for a house of this period I'm sure) to go up to the bedrooms, so if anyone would have a problem with that, it would be good to figure it out in advance with your party. I was glad that my elderly mothers did not join us because those stairs might have presented too much of a difficulty. But I'm 60 and managed fine (and always with great care!)
Also, what is typical for an old historical home is beautiful old plank floors. Beautiful to look at but let's face it, they can be creaky. If you are super sound sensitive while sleeping, and someone in your party is a nightowl or just has to get up a lot at night, then it could be an issue. In that case, I'd make sure the sound sensitive person was at the end of the hall the farthest from the bathroom, LOL.
We made great use of the full kitchen, and there was ample dishes and glasses and mugs. In fact just the display of dishes on open shelves was a beautiful sight to behold. The fridge was very clean which is always nice. The only thing I was surprised about was the lack of any kitchen items to "borrow" like tin foil, plastic wrap, baggies. I'm not sure if that's necessary but if you plan to cook you might want to make sure to pack some of that with you. That said, there was ample paper towels, and dish soap.
If I come to Franklin again, I'm definitely coming back!
