The space suited our needs quite well. Great views of the mountains. Remote enough for privacy, but close enough to town. Would choose over a hotel in Franklin any day of the week.

Excellent! Stayed for a long weekend with my wife. The house was very well-kept, well-stocked and comfortable. Lots of bedding options if you have lots of family, but there are only two bedrooms, so keep that in mind. Our host was very thoughtful and helpful, working with us quickly to reschedule when we got snowed out. We would definitely stay here again, and would recommend to anyone for a trip to the mountains.
