We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful farm house in Franklin! Great location and extremely clean! We especially enjoyed the mornings on the front porch drinking coffee. Plenty of space and had everything we needed. Great communication with the owner!! We will definitely visit this wonderful home again!

About the host

Hosted by Gina Shope

Host profile image
I'm a Franklin native; in fact the McIntyre family has lived here since the mid-1800's. My grandfather built the property in 1946 and it was a working farm. He was one of the first residents of the area to have a vehicle and ran a taxi cab business until his death. I lovingly restored the farmhouse and am eager to share the experience of living in this place with you.

What makes this property unique

It's really authentic and charming and a restful place to come back to each day after enjoying all the local area has to offer.
