Book it NOW!

We came up for the Franklin blues and barbecue festival for the second year. Last year we stayed in a B & B, which has since closed. We found the Agape Cottage on Vrbo. Well it was well named as we were both agape as we walked down the stairs, and saw the great deck and view of the river. It’s a beautiful, covered patio with a TV, overlooking the river with a fire pit below. Inside was even better, with a great little kitchen, living area, and nice accommodations upstairs. These folks really went out of their way to provide all the little conveniences, including coffee, a waffle bar, cushions everywhere, and such a friendly attentive host. We watched tons of kayakers, floating on the river, the bike trail on the other side, and really enjoyed the beautiful little town of Franklin. It’s a really special place. I have done my research and I am sure he will find nothing better than this in Franklin. Thanks to our house for great communication and an awesome time! .

Cutest little cottage

Wow! Everything about the cottage exceeded my expectations. Julie thought of everything to make the stay easy and comfortable. The covered patio was so relaxing. She was very good at communicating and checking in yo see if we needed anything. I highly recommend staying here, not one complaint.

Great place to stay!

What a truly terrific cottage! We were in the area for a wedding and found this little gem. The bedroom is a nice size, and some of the other rooms are a little smaller. However, there is more than enough room for two or three people to get around without bumping into each other. The owner, Julia, has done an outstanding job of decorating and has added a few complementary items to make your stay all the more special. The outside is a big WOW! Both decks are well designed, comfortable, and the view of the Allegheny River is beautiful! Julia responds very quickly to any questions you may have. She even has a suggestion list hanging in the kitchen of places to see, things to do, and places to eat. Also, in a previous review, Julia mentioned adding a TV and hot tub. The TV has been installed on the deck. Although a hot tub would be great, we wouldn’t hesitate to rent here again, with or without the hot tub!

Lovely weekend

College friends visiting a third friend who lives in Franklin. Convenient to the business area and our friend’s home. Charming decor, with attention to the comfort of guests. Coffee/tea/hot chocolate bar was a much appreciated touch. We were sorry it wasn’t a touch warmer as the decks and seating areas were alll very inviting, but we managed several opportunities to chat outside while enjoying the view of the water and birds. If we return to Franklin we would definitely check availability of the cottage. The name Agape Cottage is especially appropriate as we felt welcome and cared for.

Relaxing weekend get-away

Impromptu weekend get-away in this little cottage is just what the doctor ordered! Communication with the owners was absolutely phenomenal only to be topped by their attention to detail and the little above & beyond’s that they offered. The cottage is a bit small in size but perfect for a couple looking for a short retreat. It offered all the commodities needed plus some! The kitchen was well stocked with every appliance you may need in addition to your basic spices & condiments. The coffee/tea bar was complimented by everything needed to make your own waffles, eggs & English muffins. The bathroom had all the essentials as well. The bedroom was clean, cozy, and offered nice linens (I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to sheets & pillows so that’s a pretty high compliment). The nicest surprise was the outdoor space- set right along the river, there is plenty of opportunity to take in the views. On the top floor, there is a deck which was calling to have morning coffee had the weather been better. In addition, the beautiful back yard has a covered deck area with tables, chairs, a gas fire table, plenty of outdoor games, a well stocked wood pile, and even its own morning dove making its home in the little ficus tree in the corner. It also has a fire pit with chairs directly overlooking the serenity of River & the landscape beyond. If you have desire to explore beyond the cottage, the owners offered an abundance of great tips to top off the weekend. Definitely recommend!!!
