Location was great for us. The house was beautiful, we enjoyed the sun parlor, deck and the added ice maker was wonderful. Very roomy and well furnished with all we could need. The river area is a great place to spend the afternoon relaxing by the water, we even got our feet wet.

A total delight!

This house was wonderful and had so many cozy touches that made it feel like a real home. We were able to work out a discount that allowed me and my friends to go up for a long weekend and it ended up being over a winter cold snap! Temps were down to the single digits but the house was so warm, cozy, and already had a shovel and salt for the driveway. Our dogs loved resting in the sunroom with us and the few places we went to in neighboring towns were lovely. The TV apps don’t always work/crash but we think that is because they need to be updated :) The host was quickly responsive and kind, there were honeys and jellies set out for us when we arrived, and there were so many amazing BLANKETS and games in the house. We also made full use of the kitchen and cooked most of our meals. Bring olive oil or tea bags if you want your own, but otherwise there were tons of spices and coffee and condiments. We loved it and would easily return!

We've stayed at Pappies Place several times for a regular climbing trip to Reed's Creek and Smoke Hole. It's a fantastic location for access to climbing and Franklin. Pappies Place is clean, well-appointed and very comfortable. Danita is a wonderful host.

This was our fourth time staying at Pappies Place for a climbing trip to Reed's Creek/Smoke Hole and, as always, it was stellar. It's a well appointed and clean home, the beds are very comfortable and the house couldn't be closer to the Reed's Creek parking lot.

beautiful place to stay for a fall wedding

We came to attend a niece's wedding in Franklin. Our stay at Pappy's Place was just perfect. Lots of room, beautifully decorated, plenty of hot water, easy to find, beds were super comfy. WE loved the big dining room as we had family over for a big breakfast. Just loved the house and the decor.
