Our experience here could not have been better. Excellent host, house, property and location. Beautiful and tranquil on many levels. It has inspired us to find our own property in the area. This will be our first choice on our next visit to the Franklin vicinity.

Absolutely amazing and extremely clean. The best view of the mountains. Bill was an excellent host and his hospitality was top notch. Our golden retrievers had the time of their life playing in the yard and relaxing on the porch. We will definitely be back. One of best places we have stayed.

Outstanding, secluded and peaceful. Very nice amenities. We enjoyed watching the deer every day. Our "fur baby' (yellow lab) had the time of her life with a 30-acre front yard. Bill & Heidi were outstanding hosts, and we have already booked our stay for next year.

Lovely place!

Our family really enjoyed our stay here. The kids had a great time exploring the property and we all enjoyed the pond. It's a great location. It feels remote, but is only a short drive to town. The owners are very helpful with tips and ideas on places to visit.

Nice and cozy home in a very peaceful setting in the mountains. We had a great relaxing weekend with the dog, there was plenty of space for him to run around. The hosts were also very helpful and quick to respond.
