Very delicious and abundant breakfast. Historical location. Clean and spacious room with an elegant ambiance.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The owner/manager (Paul) was very kind and helpful offering to help with carrying bags and offering history of the original house and subsequent remodels. Enjoyed the fresh fruit and hash browns at breakfast. The place is charming with multiple touches of antiques ...but know there is no elevator and must tote bags up stairs to upper rooms. So consider if you have bad knees like me. All in all ...a plus for a one-of-a-kind stay.

This is a late-1800s property in a convenient in-town location. Some deferred maintenance was seen, but it was very serviceable. Rooms were clean & good sized, but our bathroom shower was TINY. Lots of public areas to relax & enjoy the views. Owner was very helpful with recommendations for area restaurants & things to see/do. Breakfast was great, with a good mix of hot & cold items. Owner even insisted on giving us a "to-go bag" as we were leaving before breakfast started.

We only stayed one night but it was unique and delightful. I gave four stars for amenities because it is a historic building The rooms are spacious and have everything you need but it's charming and quirky. There's no alarm clock and no lamp with USB ports by the bed. You will have to bring your charger and make due. I saw other comments lamenting the upkeep and cobwebs and whatnot and I just think it's foolish to expect a pristine experience from a cool, historic building. The room was clean, the bathroom was functional and the porch was enjoyable in the quiet mountain morning. Breakfast was wonderful. So much food, all freshly prepared and quite the selection of beverages.

The Franklin Terrace was a great option for our stay in Franklin. The location to downtown is perfect and the owner/staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. Would definitely come back and stay there again next time we are in town.

I had never been to a bed-and-breakfast before, and this was a pleasant first experience. The furniture and decor and charm of what you would expect were all there. Including olden dolls and stuffed animals lol The breakfast buffet served in the morning was pretty impressive. A lot of options and everything was tasty. It does start at 8am, so you early risers might not enjoy that. The screened in bottom patio and open second floor patio were really nice with lots of seating. I will say that the room itself was a bit smaller than expected (I think I booked the smallest 1 bed) I also barely fit in the shower… So I’m not sure how larger adults would fare in there….The sheets and comforter were recognizably thin. Mattress a little lumpy but I still slept decently. Clean property and aside from some pretty old furniture, it looked maintained.

I really enjoyed my stay. Room was clean and as advertised, and breakfast was much better than expected (delicious home-cooked buffet with lots of options). Overall, very good value for the money.

Charming b&b. Used to be girls school in 1800s. Each room decorated differently. Breakfast delicious. If you want something different, safe, and charming, it’s worth consideration.

Our stay here was very relaxing. The home is very old and that gives it such personality. Loved the old furniture, pictures, decorations, etc. Our host made an amazing breakfast with homemade strawberry jam and whipped cream. Would stay here again next time we go to Franklin!

We had a very comfortable stay at Franklin Terrace bed and breakfast! Paul is the sweetest person and he takes best care of his customers. It is centrally located and easy walk to Main Street. It’s nice to know that it’s recognized as national historic place. The structure is originally erected in 1887!! If there’s something to complain, the bed is too soft for our convenience and one of the staff Kelly can be little bit more friendly.

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!

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!
