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 property was perfect for our planned activities! We were able to walk to our hiking destination, shopping and restaurants! Red Wing is such a quaint little town!
The house is well stocked with all the things you might need. Instructions were easy to understand and very helpful. Communication was very prompt.
We thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the sunroom for our morning coffee and our evening wine/ game playing!

This is the second time we have stayed in this house. It is in a great location, is large enough for our group, and has all the amenities we need. Host sent very clear instructions regarding expectations for guests.

This was just what our family needed for the weekend of our daughter's wedding. A lovely home! We enjoyed our stay in Red Wing and want to go back when we have more time to explore the town. Would definitely stay here again.

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.
4.9
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.

The house was beautiful, extremely clean, furnished beautifully, loved the kitchen , actually all rooms were really nice. It was just the two of us but it would be great for a large family. Nice backyard that we grilled in and all the extra treats was such a nice touch. Tracy always got back to us immediately if we had questions. Great house also for a dog which is why we first rented this big house but unfortunately ours passed away before we could bring him. Very secluded home, very quiet and close to downtown Redwing. Our son lives in Redwing so plan on renting this home again. Highly recommend this home for your stay. Loved having my coffee in the sunroom each morning. 😊

We had a fabulous stay at the Franklin cottage. Attention to detail in every room. The bed & linens were wonderful. Loved the “house” tissue holder. (I order 2 when I got home!) Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, cookware, etc. Nice snacks, tea, etc too. Plenty of space to enjoy conversations family and food. Our adult son and girlfriend stayed with us for a night after the wedding festivities so we could tour Red Wing. Walking distance to town, restaurants, shops and river. We highly recommend. We were even able to bring our canine companion that loves to travel with us. We can’t say enough good things about this property and the hosts. Thank you for your hospitality!

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.

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.

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!

Stayed with 2 other couples for a wedding in Red Wing. Location was perfect. We were within walking distance to downtown Red Wing, close to shops and restaurants. Place was clean and perfect for 6 adults. Very clean, well- stocked kitchen. Perfect and just what we were looking for. Good communication and easy check-in process.

My friends and I absolutely LOVED this adorable and cozy cottage. The house was clean, organized, well stocked with coffee & snacks, and was so convenient in town. This cottage is tucked up into the bluff - beautiful in the fall. The host was good at communicating info and was very prompt in responding to my questions. We will be back again!

We went to Red Wing to attend a concert Friday Night at the Treasure Island Casino. It was a quick 20 minute ride to the venue. We enjoyed several local restaurants and enjoyed the little city vibe. The home was perfect for our 3 couples. So much more enjoyable than a hotel, and so close to everything!

Franklin cottage was the perfect location to host our family group attending our sons beautiful wedding in Welch. Perfectly appointed, spectacularly decorated and thoughtfully designed. I would recommend this home to any travelers and would return again on our next stay.

Wonderful weekend enhanced by this charming, centrally located bungalow in Red Wing, MN. Clean with modern updates & amenities, but with 1920's charm. Three couple annual college reunion gathering was enhanced by the charm and ambiance of this home. Fully stocked kitchen made cooking a breeze. Highly recommend!!!

This was a very clean and charming house near downtown Red Wing. The property was perfect for our family of five. It was great to be able to walk to restaurants. The only item I would caution about is that the upstairs gets quite warm to sleep in the summer months. Overall was a great house though!

Lovely location in a quiet residential neighborhood. The house was perfect for our group of women, close to downtown and access to restaurants and shopping. Everything about the house was wonderful - clean, plenty of room for our group to socialize, comfortable beds, and a fully equipped kitchen.
