Great place to stay for a weekend with our BC student. Downstairs area is very spacious, house had everything we could need for a great stay. Well stocked kitchen for cooking, thoughtful details. Communication with owner was great (we locked ourselves out by accident & they were very gracious!). Location is good & street is very quiet. Will definitely return!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Franklin OZ house. It was a perfect place to get away for our Kansas girls weekend trip! The house is beautiful and has so many endearing features. The amenities are perfect and loved spending time looking at all of the collections in the house!

The Franklin House is a great place to stay. Located close to downtown and has several nice amenities. Even though the house is over 100 years old, several updates were down to the home to make it very cozy. Would recommend the house to anyone.

6 family members stayed here during a weekend visit to Benedictine College. We enjoyed and appreciated the homeowner's homage to a family member who loved the Wizard of Oz and shared her extensive collection with all who stay at their home. We even did the scavenger hunt provided for fun! There was plenty of open space for family to gather and visit comfortably. What a charming and unique rental property.

BC football weekend

Was very impressed with our stay. The house was very clean and comfortable. It was close to the college and easy to access. Loved looking at all the Oz memorabilia along with the details in the decorating and old wood trim/baseboards. Wish we had known of this place sooner as this is my sons last year at BC. Thank you for a great stay
