Great little hideaway within Franklin!

Accommodations were more spacious than expected. Bruce was a great communicator and we loved our say. It’s so close yet you feel hidden away inside the neighborhood. Love the quick trip into town but yet not feeling like you’re in the middle of the city. Beautiful landscaping on the property make it all that much more of a great hideaway. Will definitely stay here again!

Extraordinary Getaway at Pleasant Hill

The apartment is beautiful with extraordinary decor. Great for a working vacation with a nice desk. Kitchen was stocked with sufficient dishes, utensils, etc. and easy to use. The front porch was a relaxing place to enjoy coffee in the morning & to unwind in the evening. Plantings were an added touch. This was my second stay. I thoroughly enjoyed both my stays & hope to return soon.

Beautiful place

This VRBO is even better than it appears in the write up. Very clean, tastefully decorated and Bruce is so easy to work with. Very prompt with communication! There were fresh flowers from the gardens when we arrived and the entire experience was amazing! The front porch was private while allowing us to observe the gardens. Was a great place to relax with a glass of wine in the evening or a cup of coffee in the morning.

Very nice place, lots of room in a quiet neighborhood. Spent some time on the front porch one afternoon. The only issue was that the WiFi went out during the stay, but there was a decent cell signal. We will definitely plan on booking it when we return to Franklin.

Perfection

This was the perfect stay for me. I come on a business trip twice a year, and the location, speed of the Wi-Fi, and hospitalities were exceptional! As everyone else says here, I agree with it all, Bruce has the sweetest heart, the best green thumb ever, and makes certain you stay is the best possible. I will most definitely be returning and am definitely looking forward to my next visit. Also, for those who are a little nervous about driveways. This one is a touch steep, but once you go up it once or twice you have it down. It’s easy. This is coming from someone who is not so seasoned on driving in the mountains.
