This is an outstanding property with an inviting atmosphere and a very well furnished interior. The kitchen is amazing with its amount of windows. Property is close to downtown and easy access off of a main road. Definitely will try to get again next time we attend the rock show.

We enjoyed our stay! The house was very clean and comfortable. There were many thoughtful extras including snacks. The property was beautiful with lots of flowers blooming and a very nice waterfall and stream. We had fun playing badminton and basketball. It was very close to shops and restaurants in downtown Franklin.

We enjoyed our stay in Franklin. The house was easily located to all the attractions and Franklin. The home was comfortable and clean with beautiful decks to enjoy. I think I saw a ground hog!

Love this property. All efforts made to make our stay a wonderful memory. Loved making our s'mores and the little kids did too. Thanks for letting us stay here. If we are back this way we'll stay again.
If you are looking for a place to stay in Franklin NC, look no further. This home is absolutely stunning. Beautiful outdoor area for the entire family. Fully stocked kitchen with absolutely everything you need. Everything has been meticulously labeled for you so it’s easy to find things. The kitchen has two sinks and so much space for two or more people to hang out in the kitchen. The kitchen has some seating so you can eat there or eat in the dining room. The home also has a wrap around deck that makes spending time outdoors fabulous. The view is absolutely stunning. There is so much to do too. Want to roast sole marshmallows? This house has you covered with outdoor seating and a place to start a fire. I could literally go on and on about this house and the gorgeous property. My family had an absolutely blast at this house. Extremely and meticulously kept and clean. This is the best home I have ever stayed in and it will definitely my go to whenever we come back to Franklin. To Trevor and Debe. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. Your home is absolutely stunning.

Cute place!
Sweet house! This has just about anything you could think of and a well stocked cooking kitchen. The back deck was a perfect hangout under the canopy of trees with the little waterfall sounds. Owners were quick to respond to any questions and there is a book telling house to use everything too. Would stay again!

Great Mother’s Day
Our stay at this location could not have been more perfect. The house was very comfortable. We celebrated our 98 year old mother who was in a wheelchair. We had no problems navigating her around the area. There is also a very spacious, comfortable studio. The deck on the back side of the house was big enough for all our family to sit and visit. We also enjoyed the fire pit in the backyard. I would recommend this house for an enjoyable vacation.

Holiday together
Our Adult family members all got together to celebrate Christmas together a little late. The kitchen itself is amazing and we had a good time cooking together. The bedrooms were set up so that we each had nice private areas, but also large gathering spaces. We really enjoyed our time together!

Wonderful place to stay
We spent four nights at this VRBO which is very convenient to downtown Franklin. We had six adults, an aunt and two nieces plus husbands. These owners really know how to run a VRBO. Spacious home with a fully stocked kitchen. Perfect for 6 people (plus another bed). Checking in and out were both very simple. These owners have thought of everything you might want and have provided it. Highly recommend that you spend some time at this VRBO. Couples were from Hickory, NC, Concord, NC & N. Myrtle Beach, SC.

Franklin’s Gem
Our visit to 1660 was everything we needed and more. The home was meticulously cared for and perfect for our family. My parents enjoyed having their own space in the studio. Both the kids loved the basketball, volleyball and corn hole. The location of this home is very close to downtown Franklin while also close to trails and other adventurous activities.
The hosts of this home are extremely responsive, informative and accommodating! Could not speak higher of them! Thank you for a lovely NC mountain getaway!
