Iffy way to escape fire. Cushions on porches dusty and dirty. Very old building in need of maintenance. Part of floor rotted in bathroom. Very small shower. Innkeeper nice, but failed to bring extra towels when requested. Breakfast good. Mattress hard.

The whole stay was splendid. Paul is a wonderful host, a phenomenal cook, and a kind person. Our room was beautifully decorated, and the shower was a huge bonus to me. I love a piping hot shower, and detachable faucet so that I don’t have to get my hair wet or humid. Hardly any place has that! Our room did! The house has an interesting history, and I love the fragrance as you walk in. Like years of good breakfasts with bacon and coffee, nice furniture polish and books. It will be our go-to place in Franklin to stay!

Charming old-style inn with a nice hot breakfast. Friendly staff that went out of their way to help move our booking to another room when the cabin A/C went out a day before we arrived. We only stayed for a night, but we would definitely stay here again next time we are in Franklin!

Paul was a very nice host. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was very nice. We stayed in the cottage house and it was a pretty tight space. Breakfast was the exact same offerings every morning with a variation on the breakfast bread. It's served buffet style and the eggs and hash browns were very "institutional." There was no room cleaning or new towels during our stay. Overall, it was adequate and met our needs, but not anything special.

The host and service and cleanliness, the beauty, the fantastic antiques, the delicious included breakfast, the historical significance, and ambiance of this unique bed and breakfast could not be better. Why stay in a motel with no character and cold atmosphere when you can have the Franklin Terrance bed and breakfast!

Great stay here! My girlfriend and I were here on her birthday weekend. We loved the room in which we stayed as well as the breakfast in the morning. It was fresh, filling and the hosts were very kind and accommodating!

It was old house and I understand that they need constant maintenance. The owner of the house was out of town and left only one employee to run the place, which she did graciously. Given that is was a holiday weekend, and it appeared to be a full house, the owner should have picked another weekend to be out of town.

The management was in desperate need of additional staff. It is a lovely, very old bldg but needed some serious cleaning and mtc. Breakfast very well prepared. Very enjoyable recounting of the history. Allergies to dust, cant go back.

Franklin Terrace: Step back into History

Historic, over 100 years old, and former high school, this is an interesting stay that takes you back to that prior generations' feeling. The positives were a comfortable bed, clean, good breakfast, and the sole negative was it was cold on the interior (cold outside) with no available blanket and no ability to increase heat in the room.
