Perfect

We came to town for Christmas. The house was exactly as pictured. Small amount of Christmas decorations and it was the perfect amount. Clean house with absolutely everything you could want/need. Hosts communicated clearly and in a timely manner.

Fantastic river location

Our family spent a week at this rental right on the Allegheny River. The house was very clean, and the furnishings/decor were very modern. Cupboards in the kitchen were labeled so it was very easy to find things—and the owners stock quite a bit, including spices. We had the good fortune of seeing the July 4th fireworks right in the backyard before lighting a bonfire. We kayaked on the river from OARS, the neighbor on the other side of the public landing. And OARS also hosted a band on Friday night which is open to the public, just BYOB. Had to deal with some days of rain, but it was relaxing just to veg in the house, do puzzles, play card games, read books, and watch movies. All in all, a great place to stay and explore Franklin and the surrounding small river towns. Highly recommend and we look forward to coming back!
