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.

    While we appreciate the character of an older home, the condition of this property did not align with how it is presented online. The home appeared more run down than expected, with worn furnishings and a level of cleanliness that made the space uncomfortable for our family.Similar concerns appear in prior reviews, which suggests these issues are ongoing rather than isolated. Because of this, we chose to shorten our stay.With thoughtful updates, improved upkeep, and clearer expectations set in the listing, this could be a much better experience. Until then, guests seeking a well-maintained and accurately represented property may want to proceed carefully.

    This is a spectacular property. Unfortunately for me, its location was so far away from the award show and the highway traffic at night in the rain, was a no stay for me. I opted to get a room closer to the grand old Opry, and forfeit my fee for two nights. While that may sound absurd, I am older and the highway driving at night horrified me. I left for my own driving safety. But, this was a personal choice. My sister had decided not to come and I was alone. it has nothing to do with the beautiful property. I do wish the cleanup fee would be refunded as I only went in for a minute and left. I will inquire about it. PS. My Bluegrass Band friends won BIG!

    We are from Arkansas and stayed here during my son’s wedding weekend. It’s is a Beautiful home and was in walking distance of the church and our son’s rehearsal dinner. It was the perfect place to stay for such a special weekend. The host was great to communicate with and very accommodating. Can’t wait for our next visit!

    The location can't be beat. Walkable to historic Franklin. A quick drive to many other sites. The house is very spacious inside. Plenty of places to sit and hang out. The kitchen is well stocked. Each bedroom is large. There is off street parking. We loved swinging on the porch swing watching the world go by.

    The location and ease of this property was wonderful! We walked to Franklin often and really enjoyed the location. The owners were kind and made the stay very easy! It is an old historic house so there are creaks and character that make it a fun place to stay. Our only suggestion is the property could use some upkeep on the outside and some freshening up of furniture and paint on the inside. The beds were very comfortable

    The location is great. We walked multiple times to downtown Franklin. The bedrooms are big. The bathrooms are clean. The kitchen/dining area is spacious with a large island. We enjoyed the historic architecture of this late 1800's home. We were here for four nights on the weekend our son was getting married. Good memories.

    We had such a fun family weekend in this historic home! We traveled w a grandma with some mobility issues, 2 parents, and a 20 something daughter. We each had space to sleep in nice, comfy beds. When our son and daughter-in-law came to visit, we all had space to gather together. The house has been around long enough that some rooms are obvious add-ons so there’s a slight step up or over a “speed bump” when moving around the house. Also a little issue with door handles falling off (though they are lovely handles!)Only one room has an en-suite bathroom, the other was down the hall and around the corner for use I get to at night. Would love to know more about the history of this place because I bet it’s seen all kinds of events! It needs a little extra love to bring it back to full glory but we enjoyed it like an old friend!

    Because of all the events of the wedding, we weren't at the house a whole lot, but what time we were there was delightful. We were all very comfortable, even with only two bathrooms for 8 people. Plenty of hot water for showers. I wish we had been able to come one day earlier to enjoy the town of Franklin and the house. But the Wedding---oh, the wedding! It was beautiful!

    This is a sprawling, single story home built in 1895 and located on Main street surrounded by lovely stately homes and within an easy walk to downtown Franklin. We enjoyed eating at McCreary's Irish pub; Gray's on Main and Pucketts. A 20 minute drive thru beautiful rolling fields leads you to the very small community of Leipers Fork, where you should go see live music at Fox & Locke.

    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.
