Recent Franklin vacation rental reviews

This cabin is adorable and well-stocked. I stayed here with my 8 year old son for several days at and we absolutely loved it! I know you could technically sleep 4 people here, but I wouldn’t. The space was just right for the two of us.
Molly S. | Apr 2026
It was a comfortable stay for the whole family. Had a great time spending a day playing in the play room.
Deniss M. | Apr 2026
Perfect cabin with the most comfortable beds. Had everything that was needed. Could hear the stream from the deck. Father and son fishing trip in a perfect location, close to great spots. Really great cabin.
