Franklin House Bed and Breakfast—Built in 1840s

This Tennessee Vernacular style home offers three comfortable guest rooms named after former residents who lived in the home as early as the 1840s. A guest apartment with private entrance and all the amenities is available for extended stays. Each has a private bath and includes a delicious full breakfast.
