Jul 17, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Franklin Retreat We needed a place to stay for nearly a month while waiting for out new house to close. This home was great. The house was clean and perfect! This house was situated in a location that made you feel remote but you were only 20 minutes to town! Loved the deer in the yard every day. I worknfrom home and it was nice to work on the front porch with the scenery. This property is close to many attractions and we spent a lot of time hiking to many waterfalls close by. We will definately recommend this house to anyone coming to the Franklin area!! ##### Michael B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Coleen B. Jun 1, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Nice getaway! This property was very spacious and the pictures are accurate. Owner supplied toiletries. The beds were comfortable and the towels were soft. The kitchen was well stocked and there is a Keurig coffee maker. We used the gas grill and enjoyed the back porch. Several lights were on a dimmer, you have to slide down for the light to go on fully. One issue we had was the hot water heater was not on we texted and left voice messages on both numbers they provided. We did not hear back until the next day when I communicated thru vrbo. Sally was quick to respond via vrbo. Over all this is a great property and we would stay again. ##### Coleen B.
