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!

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!

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!

Why I like a B & B

Our room was small and clean and comfortable. Our host, Paul, did all in his power to do a good job and he did it well. Breakfast was excellent; a great place to stay.

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.

This was my first time staying at a bed and breakfast, and it was a wonderful experience! The owner was friendly and took the time to answer all of our questions. The breakfast was amazing, and the location is perfect—within walking distance of shops and dining options. The house is beautiful and full of history, but when booking, keep in mind its age the age of the house. Overall, a great stay, and I highly recommend it!

Disliked: Amenities
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.

Loved this Victorian!! Beautiful home, porch, furniture, tall ceilings! Breakfast was awesome & tge sunroom/breakfast room was perfect! Paul is a wonderful host! A couple of feedback points: mattress in our room was uncomfirtable & sleep was difficult… I’m tall & toilet was VERY low… but loved the view, the town, the breezy from porch with rocking chairs!!!

Excellent value!

Our stay was just wonderful. The owner and staff were all on top of everything. The building has so much period charm. The locational was in the center of town. We walked to the main street to shop and to have dinner. The screened in porches were welcoming, the rooms small, but cozy, and the breakfast over the top delicious! We will stay there again.

Great find and a stand out Hotel

I’m a repeat customer, and that speaks for itself. Always look to stay here when in Franklin, as this unique hotel is a great find and so different to the bland standard you get elsewhere. It is deliberately kept it’s history for all to see and Paul the host will give you the story of the house. Breakfast is wonderful, cooked fresh each morning, and Paul will always look to accommodate your every need.

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!

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 loved that the property was close to town but very quiet. There’s a wonderful view of the mountains from the second floor wrap around porch. It’s a quaint establishment with some history. We enjoyed two outstanding breakfasts. Paul is a gracious, friendly and knowledgeable host.
