Family wedding weekend

Our family stay in Red Wing for a family wedding was wonderful. The Franklin Cottage was a great location in proximity to the St. James Hotel. The bedrooms were comfortable, the bathrooms were clean, the kitchen was well appointed and the gathering areas were ideal for our family of 6. World definitely recommend!

Girls Trip

A few friends and I stayed here to surprise another friend who just got married, we hadn’t seen each other in two years and this place was perfect for spending time with each other but also giving us our own space. The house has an old charm to it and is beautifully decorated.

This is our second time staying here and we love it! Plenty of space for the five of us. Short drive to shopping and restaurants. We park and walk around the entire day. The house has everything you need and more. Great communication with the property manager. Comfy beds and lots of extra blankets. We will stay again when in Red Wing!

Comforting Home

The beds were comfy, the closets spacious. The kitchen clean and well appointed. The living room with the fireplace, the porch with comfy couches and windows to delight in the color of the leaves on the adjacent bluff made for a perfect place for comforting conversations with friends as we met again after many years. Would definitely recommend to all my friends!

A Red Wing gem

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Franklin Cottage. The location is great—walking distance to Main Street shops and restaurant. The home itself was spacious and comfortable. We had no want of anything. The kitchen is amply supplied—probably the best of any rental at which I’ve stayed. The beds were comfortable. The shower in the primary bedroom had great water pressure and heated up quickly. The whole place was clean and inviting. I would definitely stay here again.

Clean, comfortable, and cozy house

The property was clean, comfortable, and great location for the activities we wanted to do(hike the bluffs, downtown, Cannon Valley Bike Trail). Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils, and cooking supplies. All 3 bedrooms were not to small. They were decent size rooms. Updated furnishings, appliances, and bathrooms. To sum it up it was charming & cozy with modern decor.

Wonderful Women's Weekend

We were very pleased with the house, off-street parking, and location. We were able to walk to the downtown area or have an easy drive to other sites. The kitchen was well stocked. Other little touches around the house were noticed and appreciated. We had a small issue with a Co2 detector (battery) and had a quick, useful response. I highly recommend this place.

Red Wing Girls weekend

My card, playing group of friends, and I spent the weekend at the Franklin cottage, it was wonderful. We’ve been doing a fall shopping adventure for the past 25+ years. The cottage was clean, very quaint, and easy location to the downtown shops and restaurants. Ron, the property manager was very easy to deal with and very quick to get back to us with one of our concerns. I would recommend this house for anyone wanting to explore the Redwing Minnesota area.
