We had such a lovely stay! The house and surrounding scenery were beautiful, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. Crystal was a wonderful host—she responded quickly and answered all our questions. Check-in was easy, and we really enjoyed our time here. Thank you for everything. We’d love to come back! :)

This house was perfect for our large family - in that there were plenty of bedrooms and a huge family room connected to an outdoor deck. We could spread out inside or outside. Everything was comfortable - and very clean. We have family connections in Franklin - so hope the house will be available the next time we visit!
