About this property
River Valley Retreat, paddlers & peddlers paradise on the Allegheny river
Come see the rich history and outdoor adventures Franklin has to offer, and stay in a cool house too!
Our property is situated a stone's throw from the iconic Allegheny river. This comfortable home is within a 10 min. walk to city center and located directly across from the Samuel Justus recreational trail head. Our house still holds some of the mid century modern appointments paired with a recent whimsical and color rich renovation. If you plan to eat, play & stay in Franklin... you found your home base.
Here is a detailed description of this premium rental:
New furnishings through most of the home, Four new Samsung 4k TVs, and freshly remodeled rooms make for a cozy environment for our guests. The kitchen is well stocked with all the essentials along side new upscale appliances. The dining room has no problem handling 6 people for a sit down meal or post trail beverage and is located right next to the kitchen. Let's talk coffee and tea for a moment....we have provided a Cuisinart 12 cup insulated carafe drip coffee maker in the kitchen along side an instant hot water pot for the tea lovers and a Nespresso coffee/espresso maker in the en-suite bedroom/office combo room for the ultimate "wake-up roll out of bed inject caffeine experience".
Wireless near field charging stations for Samsung & I-devices are on hand in every bedroom, the kitchen & living room. For those that prefer tech, an Amazon Fire HD tablet puts you at the helm of a whole house Sonos Surround Sound system, Lockly entryway door lock, Nest thermostat and the 3 smart TVs at the touch of a finger. For those that might need to "adult" a bit and use our home office during your stay, we have equipped the property with a fully fortified Mesh WiFi hub system with a UPC battery back-up.
All 3 bedrooms have new mattresses and foundations, and if someone extra needs to crash, there is a cool modular Queen sized sleeper sofa bed in the office en-suite. The living room has super comfy deep couches for when you are not on the trails or shopping in downtown Franklin. Lastly, we renovated the bathrooms with new stately thrones and shower/ soaker tub combo that is divine. The half bath also includes a brand new washer/dryer set.
For your outside lounge time, there is a privacy screened front porch with new wicker furniture, lit by soft LED lights.
