A nice small-town getaway

We enjoyed our overnight stay at The Franklin House. We came to bicycle the Mountain Goat Trail in Sewanee, and Cowan is very closeby. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the house was beautiful and inviting. Tom made us feel welcome, and the coffee and donuts for breakfast were delicious. This room does face the street where the railroad is nearby, but sleep masks and earplugs were made available.

This property is stunning! Full of beautiful artwork and gorgeous furniture! The property managers were extremely hospitable and went above and beyond our expectations. It was elegant, but still comfortable and functional. Less than a block from the quiet town’s restaurants, stores and shops, and the railroad museum, I will definitely stay here again!
