Top Franklin Hotel Reviews

Carolina Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this motel ,very clean very friendly staff. One staff member recommended a wonderful restaurant in Georgia called the Blue Hound BBQ it was excellent. The restaurant was only 15 mins away. Very quiet and relaxing."

Great Smoky Mountain Creekside Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"Overall stay was wonderful. Beautiful home, and outdoor setting was peaceful. Host provides great instructions and responds quickly. The home is very clean, and has everything you need. Definitely will come back on my next trip to North Carolina."

Hampton Inn Franklin

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were very clean and quiet. My grandkids enjoyed the pool and the little market in the lobby. Made our little vacation enjoyable."

Franklin Terrace Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfasts were fantastic! The added use of the upstairs porch added to our stay. The porch was a great place to enjoy the cool breeze, read to each other and play games. We stayed an extra night to enjoy the inn and surrounding area."

# 10 High Country Haven Camping and Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely little cabin :) Super clean, well equipped. If the grill on the deck was in working order it would have made cooking easier, other than that It was a great deal, very enjoyable stay."

Microtel Inn by Wyndham Franklin

10/10 Excellent

"If you’re looking for a clean minimalist place within walking distance of food entertainment and adventure this is the perfect place. We were able to get great room rate of $55 per night and this was an exceptional deal for the above stated situation."

River's Edge Cabin - Swim - Kayak - Fish From Your Backyard !!!!

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and we loved the back deck.on the river. We cooked out, swam, fished and enjoyed the kayaks. Very convenient location."

Colonial Inn Franklin

8/10 Good

"Descent inn for family and friends. Near to the town for any ammenities, food within 10 mins Good for a weekend stay and close to some of the waterfalls nearby"

'Bearadise' Cabin w/ Hot Tub at Hidden Gem Falls!

10/10 Excellent

"The waterfall is amazing, and at night with the lights on it it is even better. The living room looks out onto the falls. Parking was easy. There is a little construction going on on the main road, but it is not a bother at all. I read a previous review about water pressure, it was fantastic, so maybe they just caught it on a bad day. Access is a breeze. There is a Food Lion coming in and an ABC store. Its a good place to stop. Also, for any last minute items there is a Dollar General nearby. If you bring water shoes you can wade out under the falls. We also used the fire pit, there was wood but I would recommend bringing some kindlin and fire starters and lighters. The hot tub was great as well. There is a grill that is easy to use and if you are a dog family a crate is provided. We did some laundry as well and the machines were great (we forgot some things and had to re-use some clothes). There is not much for cell phone service, which is fine, because you can just login to the internet and use wifi for calls. Speaking of the wifi, sometimes when you get off the beaten path it is not great, I had to do some work and it was great. There are games for the kids provided as well. Coffee machine can do pots and cups. Not far from Dry Falls and the Highlands, where you will pay this much for just a room without a waterfall. Great value for the money and we would stay again for sure. Book and enjoy!"
