I cannot tell you how much we needed this. After 12 hours on the road (headed from Texas to Maryland) with a dog and cat in the car, we would have been glad just to have a little space to ourselves. But we were overwhelmed by how comfortable this Franklin home felt after an exhausting first leg of our 1,400 mile road trip. Spotless house, every room is more spacious and cozy than we could ask for, and our dog loves the big, fenced-in backyard. Not to mention wine, snacks, and a handwritten note from our host waiting for us when we arrived. I don’t know if we’ll need to make this drive again, but this is the only place we’ll stay along the way.
