About this house rental

A unique opportunity to rent a beautifully renovated, Victorian on W Main street in downtown Franklin. The "Rhodes-House" home is on the National Register of Historic Places and 2 blocks from all of the attractions! Stroll to all the charm!

Franklin is considered the number one small town in Tennessee and also made the top 10 on Southern Living’s ‘Best Small Town’ list. Experience this sweet community and southern hospitality, while enjoying the history, upscale shopping, dining and live entertainment…all just a leisurely stroll down Main Street...with Sweet CeCe's Yogart and Starbucks being your first two stops.

This home is ideal for a romantic escape, in-town vacation, weekend with friends, wedding party or vacation for the whole family. Our home has also been utilized for photo and video shoots, so let your imagination run wild! If you are a fan of Brownland Farm, we are also conveniently located within a couple of miles. Our home is also on every major parade route, so be sure and check into Franklin festivals and parades.

The house features twelve foot ceilings, four bedrooms and two baths with over 2600 sq ft of living space and 4 fireplaces. The kitchen is stocked with all of your everyday needs and includes an enormous pantry and fully equipped laundry room.

At the end of the day, relax on the patio in the private backyard or enjoy the people watching on the front porch swing. The home includes a 50” HDTV for your entertainment enjoyment and a unique collection of vinyl records for your listening pleasure.

The home sits on a rare and level double lot and is professionally landscaped. There is a 2 car garage and private driveway in the rear with additional street parking in the front. A Weber gas grill is also available during the spring, summer and fall. There are 4 bedrooms (1 king, 2 queens, 1 double/full). An optional inflatable queen bed will allow for two additional guests.

This house is truly a gem and has a character all it's own...we look forward to sharing it with you.

We enjoyed your house. Refrig & freezer needed a better cleaning but really ok. There were only 4 of us. Myself & 2 sisters with 1 spouse. We are all in our 80’s so getting around in Franklin by car was difficult for us but we did enjoyed our stay.

A weekend getaway with friends in Franklin. We stayed over Labor Day Weekend and had a blast. The kitchen was the prefect hangout spot in the evenings. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. There were some general maintenance items that need attention and overall cleanliness issues. Even with that, we still enjoyed our stay.

We very much enjoyed our stay in the house. VRBO was having technical difficulties and so I was not able to communicate directly with the host (for no fault of their own), but I did see they were checking in regularly to see if we were OK. I felt bad not being able to reply but this link to leave a review appears to be working and, fortunately, the house had no issues that required discussion. The location is fantastic and I recommend the place for groups needing 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and some additional couch space that could assist with some overflow.

This may be one of the most unique places I've stayed at! A charming historic home with some modern amenities that made the stay comfortable for our family. Really amazing how dog friendly the entire town of Franklin is. We were able to bring our furry friends on our stay as well which was amazing. The house had plenty of necessities and the owners even provided a wonderful bottle of wine and snacks for our stay. We really enjoyed the location to downtown while we visited many of the historic Civil War sites during the day. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful piece of history with us!

I never write negative reviews but my family and I did not have a good experience. The house was dark, had a musty odor, and was not well maintained. While it is historic, doorknobs fall off, spider webs in crevices of windows, holes in walls where pictures were removed, shutters broken, curtains broken, etc. It was very disappointing especially given the price and host fees. It’s a good location and I hope the owners decide to give the house some TLC. The owners were nice and helpful when the A/C gave out.

I really appreciate the historic value of the house but certain things in a vrbo should be constants. Cleanliness, anonymity to owners (family photos, personal items in drawers, closets etc), and updated linens and towels. Pillows and table coverings had stains. There was way to much other people stuff that made it feel like we were staying in other peoples home and not a blank slate. The lights in many rooms did not work well that gave a very somber mood and difficult to dress for events properly. No full length mirror, no hangers, odd clothing and items. Front porch and back patio could really use some TLC ie. tables, more comfortable seating. Unfortunately the photos must be very old, when the house still had some brightness and shine. Hope it can come back to life as the historical beauty it may have been. Manager did respond quickly to request to clean up the back patio and supply fire pit wood. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate. Disappointed overall but always like to offer constructive and accurate info.
