Easy walk to downtown Franklin. Beautiful area. Staff was very friendly. I recommend you bring your own pillow unless you like them thin. Bed was a little swayed as well. Complimentary beverage center was great! Breakfast was simple but very good! Scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, grits, homemade biscuits w/homemade strawberry preserve, homemade lemon cake and fruit salad. With that said there were only 2 couples staying so kind of hard to make gourmet food. Definitely would recommend this B&B!

We stayed in the room with the king-size bed. It was worth the extra money. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. If you must have an updated and spacious bathroom, you will have to go somewhere else. Our bathroom was spacious for the time when it was built. The sink represents that period. The house is on a hill, a short distance uphill from Main Street. The view of the mountains is lovely from the front yard. You will find very good restaurants located on the streets just down the hill from the house. We ate dinner at Caffee REL two days in a row and enjoyed bagels at Brooklyn Bagel. Breakfast consisted of good orange juice, fresh fruit, and coffee. My husband requested scrambled eggs, which arrived with crisp fried potatoes and a pan of freshly baked biscuits. I requested granola and yogurt. My husband enjoyed his breakfast, and so did I. We enjoyed looking at the period details in the house. Our host was very gracious. He told us about the history of the house.

A dilapidated old inn in great need of repair that still has some charm. Adequate for one night. Breakfast was mediocre. Staff were less than exuberant.

Wonderful stay!
We visited for Mother's Day weekend and everyone had a great time! It is an old historic boarding house that was converted into a historic inn. The inn has so much character and history, and came with a delicious homemade breakfast. It's in reasoning distraught to downtown and many attractions. We will definitely stay again!

Pictures are better than actual.
This was so disappointing. It was expensive and the room was in terrible need of updating. There was an old stained carpet, stains on the curtains, the bathroom had fixtures that needed to be replaced, water stain in the tub, faucets dripping. No a/c but two ceiling fans which was ok. The fireplace opening was covered with aluminum foil! We couldn't wait to get out of there in the morning and didn't stay for breakfast. It just felt gross. The plus was that it was in a nice convenient location. I liked the cleaning lady/receptionist who was working hard and was accommodating when I asked for an extra chair as there was a little enclosed portion of the porch where we could sit and read but only one chair. I'm not sure if the upstairs room which I originally booked was better but the manager said they were having a plumbing problem there and put us in this room downstairs. We were glad to be downstairs, didn't mind that because it would have been hard for us as Senior Citizens to navigate that stairs with luggage but the substitute room was just awful. For the high price charged, the owners should have been able to put the profits into keeping the room in good order before pocketing the money. I'm sorry to leave a bad review but I wish I had known because their policy is no refund for cancellation unless dire circumstances.

Neat old house. Nice grounds. Needed clean up of old furniture that should be removed from upper porch. New decor and upgraded interior design would be good. Many nice bedrooms but we were given one that was too small and the bed was not comfortable. A more gourmet cook was needed.

What an incredibly lovely place! Paul, the host/manager(?), was especially accommodating and made an excellent breakfast. The only minor downside is the full-size bed, which is smaller than a queen. Otherwise, highly recommended!

We liked being able to walk downtown. We were the only ones at the inn so it was very quiet. Host made great breakfast each morning. Would have liked to see the front desk area more neat and tidy since it's the first thing you see when you walk in. No complaints.

Owner/Operator is a nice guy just trying to make sure everyone is taken care of. He really does bend over backwards to try and accommodate you along with the other guests. As an example, at breakfast, I heard one guest say to another that there is only a couple of pieces of bacon, the owner chimed up from the kitchen offering to cook some more if anyone was interested. It's an old house with creeks and everything when you walk around but I only heard others when they were right outside my door. The only criticism I can possible think of is the tiny little showers but really, it's not all that bad and how much time do you spend in the shower? This is not a resort hotel, it's a very reasonably priced and clean B&B.

This bed and breakfast was built in 1886 and has character and charm. There was an abundance of rooms and we had the queen bed “Ruby” room. This was a nice size room with cable tv, blow dryer, and toiletries provided. The only negative was the shower is a little tight in this room, but they are working on that. The host/owner was very cordial and a good chef for breakfast! He offered local recommendations and quickly took care of any request the guests had with a smile. I would highly recommend the Franklin-Terrace Bed and Breakfast to ANYONE who wants a charming stay and wants to walk to historic downtown. We will be back and bring others with us to share in this experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Franklin Terrace Bed and Breakfast. Paul was an exquisite host, and the breakfast was great and one of the best we've ever had. The porch was very enjoyable during sunset. Downtown dining at Gracious Plenty was also very good. Highly Recommended.

I had an amazing stay at Franklin Terrace. It was what I hoped it would be and more. Paul goes above and beyond to make your stay perfect. I went by myself in need of some “me” time. It was the best combination of quiet “me” time and meeting and talking with new people. I enjoyed sipping my coffee in the rocking chairs on the front porch while looking at the mountains. The breakfast was incredible. Paul spoils his guests! It’s walking distance to everything in downtown Franklin and a short drive to all things beautiful in the mountains. I can’t wait to come back to enjoy more of this magical place.
