Loved this Victorian!! Beautiful home, porch, furniture, tall ceilings! Breakfast was awesome & tge sunroom/breakfast room was perfect! Paul is a wonderful host!
A couple of feedback points: mattress in our room was uncomfirtable & sleep was difficult… I’m tall & toilet was VERY low… but loved the view, the town, the breezy from porch with rocking chairs!!!
This was my first time staying at a bed and breakfast, and it was a wonderful experience! The owner was friendly and took the time to answer all of our questions. The breakfast was amazing, and the location is perfect—within walking distance of shops and dining options. The house is beautiful and full of history, but when booking, keep in mind its age the age of the house. Overall, a great stay, and I highly recommend it!
Easy walk to downtown Franklin. Beautiful area. Staff was very friendly. I recommend you bring your own pillow unless you like them thin. Bed was a little swayed as well. Complimentary beverage center was great! Breakfast was simple but very good! Scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, grits, homemade biscuits w/homemade strawberry preserve, homemade lemon cake and fruit salad. With that said there were only 2 couples staying so kind of hard to make gourmet food. Definitely would recommend this B&B!
We stayed in the room with the king-size bed. It was worth the extra money. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. If you must have an updated and spacious bathroom, you will have to go somewhere else. Our bathroom was spacious for the time when it was built. The sink represents that period.
The house is on a hill, a short distance uphill from Main Street. The view of the mountains is lovely from the front yard. You will find very good restaurants located on the streets just down the hill from the house. We ate dinner at Caffee REL two days in a row and enjoyed bagels at Brooklyn Bagel.
Breakfast consisted of good orange juice, fresh fruit, and coffee. My husband requested scrambled eggs, which arrived with crisp fried potatoes and a pan of freshly baked biscuits. I requested granola and yogurt. My husband enjoyed his breakfast, and so did I.
We enjoyed looking at the period details in the house. Our host was very gracious. He told us about the history of the house.

Property was convenient but very buggy outside
Bathroom door didn’t close and it was tiny and very cramped. House needs upkeeping and repairs. Wouldn't stay again.
The Terrace Bed and Breakfast is in the center of Franklin. Very charming building in and out , with excellent breakfast . We have stayed on multiple occasions.
The breakfast was great and really appreciatted the coffee and water available.... but the property and our matress was somewhat dated. Overall it was a good stay
A dilapidated old inn in great need of repair that still has some charm. Adequate for one night. Breakfast was mediocre. Staff were less than exuberant.
We visited for Mother's Day weekend and everyone had a great time! It is an old historic boarding house that was converted into a historic inn. The inn has so much character and history, and came with a delicious homemade breakfast. It's in reasoning distraught to downtown and many attractions. We will definitely stay again!
This was so disappointing. It was expensive and the room was in terrible need of updating. There was an old stained carpet, stains on the curtains, the bathroom had fixtures that needed to be replaced, water stain in the tub, faucets dripping. No a/c but two ceiling fans which was ok. The fireplace opening was covered with aluminum foil! We couldn't wait to get out of there in the morning and didn't stay for breakfast. It just felt gross. The plus was that it was in a nice convenient location. I liked the cleaning lady/receptionist who was working hard and was accommodating when I asked for an extra chair as there was a little enclosed portion of the porch where we could sit and read but only one chair. I'm not sure if the upstairs room which I originally booked was better but the manager said they were having a plumbing problem there and put us in this room downstairs. We were glad to be downstairs, didn't mind that because it would have been hard for us as Senior Citizens to navigate that stairs with luggage but the substitute room was just awful. For the high price charged, the owners should have been able to put the profits into keeping the room in good order before pocketing the money. I'm sorry to leave a bad review but I wish I had known because their policy is no refund for cancellation unless dire circumstances.
Neat old house. Nice grounds. Needed clean up of old furniture that should be removed from upper porch. New decor and upgraded interior design would be good.
Many nice bedrooms but we were given one that was too small and the bed was not comfortable. A more gourmet cook was needed.
What an incredibly lovely place! Paul, the host/manager(?), was especially accommodating and made an excellent breakfast. The only minor downside is the full-size bed, which is smaller than a queen. Otherwise, highly recommended!
We liked being able to walk downtown. We were the only ones at the inn so it was very quiet. Host made great breakfast each morning. Would have liked to see the front desk area more neat and tidy since it's the first thing you see when you walk in. No complaints.
-Owner was accommodating in giving us a credit for a future stay, given bad weather was forecast for our second night
-Fireplace lit for breakfast
-Breakfast was good
Room (Opal) was small
-Side tables (even small) would have been handy
-More & heavier blankets
-Space heater "temperamental;" setting had to be just so to activate and even then didn't work most of the time
