Summary of reviews
Great location, cozy, good value. Wonderful communication with the owner. Felt at home, easy short walks to town, park for dogs. Clean, comfortable, spacious. Well-equipped kitchen. Will definitely stay again!

The fact that it is in downtown is great, the exact location is very poor as it sits as the lone residence on a block of run down commercial buildings. The home is on a curve with limited sight lines, so it is difficult entering and exiting the driveway as traffic takes the curve quickly. This is not comforting for an elderly couple. The driveway is steep for an older person who is slightly disabled, as it is a steep walk and there is no sidewalk at the front door side of the building. The second entrance is a flight of stairs at the rear of the property going up to the second floor, also not easy for someone who is impaired. The home was built in 1940 but the interior is up-to-date, very spacious and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay, with the exception of the fact that one was initially unable to control the temperature as the thermostat is in the laundry room downstairs and controls both units. Host made accomodations for this. but it would have been nice to know in advance. There is a regular stream of single males using the driveway as a shortcut to Main Street, apparently from and to a local grocery store, not comforting. The ad gives an impression of a grassy backyard, but there is only a gravel alleyway between the home and the rear of a commercial building. The interior is quiet and comfortable but the location of the property is unacceptable. We would not book here again.

We had a ball in town and visiting family locally. The House was in a great location to that. Short walks to restaurants in town and to a great park for out dogs. Communication with the owner was easy, prompt and helpful. We really felt at home even though we were there for a short time. Wonderful town, wonderful rental.

Property was fine. Surprised by the lack of amenities compared to the other properties that we’ve stayed at. We did leave behind a piece of luggage and they contacted us in a timely manner which we really appreciated.

House was convenient to town. Chloe was accessible to help with some initial problems. Property could use some cosmetic improvements (torn curtains, broken blinds, e.g.) Icemaker was not working, so some ice trays to make ice would help.

We had a 2 night stay. Little confusing on the vrbo site when i booked it- thinking we were renting the basement with an outside entrance (owner had both up and down) because if the listed pictures only showed the basement entrance to the upper dwelling. But it worked out well. My husband and I were traveling with an 87 and 93 year old! They loved the idea of all the space of a 2 bedroom house, versus a hotel room. Thank you for making them feel at home!

This was our second stay at Chloe's place, and we enjoyed it. It is a great value, close to many wonderful places, gorgeous rides, in town, but not on top of everything. It is in a perfect locale as far as we are concerned. It is comfortable, spacious, you can cook in, or dine out with ease, shop or go almost next door to the park. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but we love it!

Chloe's house is in a great location, right downtown. We've stayed there twice now, and plan to go back. Chloe is very responsive. The house is clean, the kitchen is large and the beds are comfortable. The neighborhood is quite walkable. We will be back!

Ms. Chloe is a wonderful host! Any issues we had and there wasn't any, she took care of. Plenty of hot water and the washer and dryer worked great.
This is not anyone's fault. The speed of the internet is very slow.
We will be staying here again.

The living space was very accomodating. The home is located next to a park which is great when you travel with dogs. Close to downtown and numerous restaurants. The home does sit right on a curve in the road which was a little unsettling but overall it's a nice place. The owner is very quick to respond with any questions or concerns. We would definitely rent this place again in the future.

Relaxing, beautiful mountain hideaway! Owner was very accommodating and wonderful. A perfect escape and super comfortable bed, got the best sleep I've had in ages!

In town convenience
Not really what I'd call a vacation spot but it served my purposes nicely. If it's peaceful mountain experience you're looking for this is noisy right on a busy road, yet convenient to stores and cute downtown. Owner was nice and accessible. Beds were comfortable but linens and towels need to be updated.

Great location, comfy home
We very much enjoyed our stay. Comfy living room, spacious kitchen & dinning, and great bedrooms. The shower is recently remodeled - beautiful. Bedrooms have great beds and plenty of space to store clothes & personal belongings. Short walk to Lazy Hiker Brewery and downtown Franklin. Really liked being able to walk to restaurants. The park next door was perfect for walking our dog and my son loved the playground! Communication with host was easy. Definitely recommend.

Upper duplex in Franklin, NC
Communication with Chloe was good; she was very responsive.
Very nice, updated kitchen with a large refrigerator and good assortment of dishes, utensils, pots & pans, large crockpot. Comfortable furniture and beds. Disappointed that there was no Direct TV as the listing stated; there was only streaming services.

Great location,, close to restaurants, dollar store and grocery store, clean home with plenty of space for everyone. Loved that there was a park next door to walk the dogs. Close to road but got use to the cars

Clean and convenient
This was our second stay at Chloe's duplex. The apartment was spotless, well stocked, and very comfortable. Chloe even helped us out of a pinch by letting us drop off some bags and boxes early - which was a great help. We highly recommend!
