Franklin Victorian Bed & Breakfast

This inn is undoubtedly one of the nicest original Victorian homes we have encountered. We especially appreciated Jennifer's attention to our comfort. She also encouraged us to enjoy the main floor rooms in the house (-the cosy fireplace welcomed us as we recovered from a snowy drive). Breakfast was fabulous. Loved the baked grapefruit and cranberry muffin. The Franklin Victorian Is certainly recommended for B&B lovers!

We have never been to a B&B so this was our first experience. We were pretty impressed and will return. The only drawback was not knowing what was on the breakfast menu the next day. They do give you a card and ask if there are any dietary restrictions. We misunderstood what they were asking exactly if it was either allergies or stuff we just did not like. My hubby is a meat and potatoes kind of guy. There was yogurt and cream cheese filling on one of the pastries to which he is unable to eat any of it. However we will remember for next time to put that down. The tour and history of the B&B was amazing! just great history and the inn keeper was wonderful and very respectful of privacy. We really enjoyed ourselves!

My husband and I decided we wanted to do something fun with our siblings and we found out that the Franklin Victorian B&B offered a Murder Mystery night. Jennifer made the experience fun and the dinner she cooked for us was excellent. The beds were wonderful, food was great and a good time was had by all. We look forward to coming back again. If you want a fun evening with family or friends I would suggest the Murder Mystery night.

We loved our stay, quiet, romantic and a beautiful home! Will likely return for another anniversary!

We are long-time fans of the Wisconsin Bed and Breakfast system, and we almost always head for a Wisconsin B & B for our short get-aways. We chose the Franklin Victorian in Sparta this time because of the bike trails and bike rentals--which worked for us even though we were off-season. We knew the B&B would be good, but we didn't expect it to be so perfect. Our hostess, Jennifer, is a pro. Everything from the luxurious sheets, to the supply of games, to early coffee outside the room, to suggestions about activities and places to go, to snuggly robes--it was just so welcoming and comfortable that we were sorry, after three nights, when we had to leave. I'm pretty sure we'll return, probably with relatives in tow. This is a terrific get-away spot--great value, attractive surroundings, friendly town. I miss it now as I'm writing about it!

Very warm, relaxing, and inviting atmosphere! Amenities aplenty and so greatly appreciated the hospitality of the hosts in answering questions & guiding us to recommended places in the area! Love the close-ness to the downtown Sparta, as well! A definite return to in the future, I hope!

My husband and I have been to a lot of bed and breakfasts over the years. This is one of my favorites. It's a beautiful home with lots of wonderful woodwork, very well kept up and beautifully decorated. Very homey and comfy. And there were so many extra touches - robes and slippers provided, candles (flameless) , some snacks left in the room for us as well as a snack/drink area for the guests with drinks, coffee and all the fixings, wine glasses and other glasses we could use, even some essentials in the bathroom in case you forget your own. Just a lot of little details that we appreciated. We stayed in the Master Bedroom because we wanted a fireplace. Our room was very nice with a comfortable king size bed. We took a peak at the other rooms also and they all were very nice. Breakfasts were great too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway.

We visit the Franklin Victorian B & B often and always experience the same great service and friendly welcome. We recommend it to all who come to Sparta to enjoy biking, the quaint downtown, dining and many other features. Carol and George

This B&B has so many extras for the reasonable price you pay. Available 24 hours are tea, candy, cookies, coffee, hot chocolate, hot and cold water, soda and juice and much more. The breakfast was awesome and we deeded a container to go because of the amount of food served. WE WILL BE BACK.

Three brothers and their wives have been exploring B&B's once a year for 20 years. We have many experiences to compare. Jennifer's welcome was warm and genuine. She gave us a tour through the entire house, explaining some of it's history. The rooms were nicely decorated (not overcrowded with knick knacks). The sheets and coverings were quite wonderful. She gave us a good recommendation for dinner, which we thouroughly enjoyed. Unfortunately, it was raining the whole time we were there, but we still were able to go for a short walk. The breakfast was delicious and beautiful...fresh fruit w/hot almond flavored cereal, wild rice quiche, sausage, and banana muffins w/ sliced bananas and caramel sauce, juice, and coffee/tea. Her husband, Steve, was an efficient and friendly server. I would recommend the Franklin Victorian Bed & Breakfast for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

We came to Sparta to enjoy the bike trails. Wonderful accommodations, very peaceful and relaxing. Will come again next year.

My wife and I stayed three nights at the Franklin Victorian in Sparta on our grand daughter's recommendation. It is less than a block from her home, so location was very important to us. The house is a gorgeous Victorian and the rooms are very comfortable. The breakfasts were amazing, and we enjoyed meeting and visiting with the bicyclists. We will definitely stay again when in Sparta.

This historic home has all of the qualities of a great b&b. Our stay in the Master Suite was only one night but we wished we could've stayed longer. All the touches of home were there--lotions & bath amenities, two soft chairs, table & chairs for eating in-room, wine accessories, coffee & tea accessories, chocolates, games, reading material & the best bed & sheets ever. Jennifer is an excellent cook & hostess and gave us much helpful & informative information about the region. We stay in many b&b's and this is one of our new favorites. Bill & Molly Alward

Everything about this B&B makes you feel like you are in your own home, except you are not cooking and cleaning up a kitchen. Highly recoommended on all levels: owners, facilities and service all first class.

We so enjoyed our stay at the Franklin B and B last weekend. The home is beautifuly restored, with original woodwork and stained glass windows. The owners pay close attention to every detail to make you feel welcome from extra ammentities to games to candy dishes, to providing assistance with finding local bicycle trails. The breakfasts were so artfully displayed and delicious. I would highly recommend this B and B to anyone!

An all-around wonderful inn! Beautiful home, very clean, close to downtown, fantastic breakfast, and beds with wonderful sheets. We especially enjoyed sitting on the large front porch in the wicker rocking chairs, sipping our morning coffee and tea. The innkeepers invited us to put our motorcycles in the garage, out of the overnight rain. And if you are a chocolate lover, this place is for you...little bowls of it sprinkled around the entire home. :)

A beautiful , historic home in the established center of the city only a few blocks from downtown shopping and very good restaurants. A peaceful place and easy to find, they cater to bikers with storage and shuttle rides but the best part is the amazing breakfasts customized to your desires. Highly recommentded.

We stayed 2 nights and were very impressed with the Franklin Victorian B & B. The house is a treasure and Jennifer and Steve are very warm and welcoming. We will definitely stay there again. It is one of the best B & B experiences we have had.

This was our first experience with a B & B and we have been told by other guests that we are now spoiled by having started with the best. My wife and I really enjoyed our two night stay. Jennifer and Steve have a great establishment and really know how to do things right. Dan & Kathy

The woodwork and general interior of the Franklin Victorian Bed and Breakfast are the most beautiful of any inn where we have stayed. The food and all amenities are exquisite. We highly recommend the Franklin Victorian.

Our stay at the Franklin Victorian B&B was on the last night of our 2-week vacation. During these 2 weeks, we had stayed at 2 other B&Bs and 8 different hotels. My husband surprised me with roses and strawberries waiting for our arrival! Jennifer was great with sharing details of the house and history of various pieces of furniture. Breakfast was filling and very yummy! They also host Murder Mysteries of which we hope to experience. I especially liked the accessibility and privacy as we had a key to our room and also the entrance to come and go as needed.

Everything about the Franklin Victorian Bed & Breakfast is top notch. The house has been wonderfully maintained and is impeccably clean. The woodwork is beautiful. Jennifer has obviously spent some time with the intricate details of the decorations in the house as well as in the landscaping surrounding the property. The breakfasts were wonderful, especially liked the wild rice quiche. Yum! The love of her home and her business is apparent. Jennifer is a great hostess. The B&B is located less than one mile from the bike trail. Jennifer also has a huge library of other entertainment options as well as restaurant menus to satisfy every taste or whim. You won't be disappointed with your stay at this B&B.

This was the perfect weekend combination. We had a lovely stay at the Franklin B&B and also biked the Sprata Elroy trail. The Franklin B&B was the perfect touch for a fun weekend. The home is so beautiful and immaculately maintained. Jennifer and Steve are very gracious and accommodating hosts. The breakfasts were delicious and graciously served in the dining room. We'll definitely make this a repeat weekend.

We are so happy you had a nice and fun time here with us. Thank you for the kind review.

This is a great B&B. I highly recomend it. Jennifer is a fine host. The Elroy-Sparta bike trail is fun also.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
This year the fun is in Sparta and biking the Elroy-Sparta bike trail.

The owners were wonderful and went out of their way to make sure our questions were answered and that our stay was a great experience!

A perfectly maintained historical home, inviting, relaxing, convenient location, amiable hosts. Charming historical town set in lovely countryside. Great coffee shop nearby, stroll through tree-lined neighborhood, inspect varied architecture of the town. Makes an extremely pleasant get-away with tons of local activities and sights, and the best option for lodging if you're visiting relatives in the area like we were!!

We are always happy when families can share time together. We all need to slow down and take time for family and other who are special in our lives. Glad you had a nice time and we look forward to see you again.

Wonderful stay. Wonderful food. Wonderful service. All the reviews said it all.....Wonderful B&B!

Thank you and we are happy we provide peace and quiet for you during your stay with us.

We came to the Franklin Victorian Bed and Breakfast for a mini vacation after the end of tax season for my husband and to try biking on the Elroy Sparta Trail. We were a little too early for the trail, but the experience at the Franklin made up for it. We cannot say enough about this Bed and Breakfast. Jennifer is an awesome host, the room was so very nice and the breakfasts were amazing. A little piece of heaven on this earth!! We definitely will be back and whether we can bike or not it does not matter, we will come just to stay here again. Keep up the great work Jennifer, although it seems for you this isn't "work", you enjoy what you do and it shows in every little detail...

The room was beautiful and unbelievably quiet. The extra amenities were endless. The food was excellent and the hostess was very gracious and helpful. It was a perfect weekend. We plan to stay again.

The accomodations we awesome, very friendly owners. Clean, beautiful, quient and relaxing. We participated in a murder mystery while there and that too was a great and very fun experience, one that I would recommend. The dinner wasn't great but it is obvious that breakfast is their specialty!!! Those were fantastic! It's a great place to get away with your spouse for a romantic weekend or a small group of friends. We would definately recommend it !!! Thank you Jennifer and Steve

We had a very pleasant stay. The accommodations were wonderful, the food was delicious. There were a lot of little extra touches to make our time there very enjoyable!

We decided to take a trip to a place close to home in order to celebrate a graduation, and the turning of a new year. The Franklin Victorian Bed and Breakfast was the perfect place to escape to!

This is a beautiful & historic B&B. We were very impressed with the rooms, the service, the breakfast and our historic tour of the B&B. We highly recommend the Franklin Victorian Bed and Breakfast in Sparta Wisconsin!

This was truley a romantic setting, so much I proposed to my sweet Dawn Marie, a brillant diamond ring, for her to wear forever and ever. Very comfy, quiet, and awesome snacks available just outside our door.

My husband and I were looking for a quick, overnight date-- just looking for some quiet alone-together time away from the kids and hustle and bustle of daily life. Franklin Victorian B&B was a perfect choice! It started as soon as we walked into the house, met by Jennifer, ready for a quick (interesting) tour of this beautiful home. She was also ready with several ideas for restaurant choices and things to do. If you're going out for dinner, Angelini's IS the place to go! A nice, quiet town--the perfect place to relax and refuel! Jennifer & Steve were wonderful hosts!

I can't say enough about the wonderful experience we had at Franklin Inn. We spent two very relaxing and nostalgic days at this inn. The food was delicious, the coffee wonderful and the hostess and host were present but definitely not imposing. We sat on the front porch and visited with friends each morning and evening and filled the remainder of the day with bike riding in the immediate area. It was a relaxing weekend for two very busy people. Thank you for making it so pleasant!

Relaxing in History is a wonderful thing to do. It takes you back to a simple time when life was not so rushed. We want all out guests to relax and have a wonderful stay. We are so happy we completed that for you and we look forward to your return stay.

This Fall was a perfect season this year and we are so happy you stayed with us in October. We look forward to your return.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We love our guests and we are so happy for your return stay with us.

This B & B is wonderful. It is within walking distance to the local restaraunts. The Inn is beautiful and a lot of thought and effort has gone into making sure the little things are there to add warmth and a homey feeling to your stay. She has warm homemade cookies, dishes of chocolates scattered about, and drinks both hot and cold available for your needs. The breakfast is our favorite. The food is homemade and absolutely delicious. We feel like royalty when we stay at the Franklin Victorian. And the hostess is social when you want her to be, and informative of her communities happenings. We absolutely love staying here, and am sure we will be back again and again.

I am so happy you had a nice time and a perfect getaway. Thank you for taking the time to complete the reveiw and we would forward to see you again soon.

We were celebrating our 35th Anniversary and we were not disappointed. The Franklin Victorian B&B is a very romantic place to stay. The little things mean alot...robes and slippers, chocolates, fireplace, games, table for two in the room, luxurious linens and an MP3 player. We had a wonderful stay, but much too short...we were whisked away....we will be returning next year! The breakfast....picture perfect and wonderfully delicious. Thank you Jennifer and Steve!!!

Happy Anniversary again and we are so happy it was a memorable one, while staying here with us at our B&B. We are happy you had a nice time in Sparta and will be returning next year. We look forward to seeing you again.

We arrived too early and made ourselves at home on the porch. While eating our lunch, the innkeeper returned home but did not greet us. We thought she could have greeted us, even if she did not think her dress was appropriate. Her references for dinner were great and her breakfasts were superb, everything about the inn was very nice.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for taking the time and I am sorry you did not hear me say Hello. It was Noon and I had returned from shopping to find people eating on our porch was quite a surprise but was just fine. I want to prepare all things for our guests so when they arrive at check in time we are completly ready for their arrival and ready to serve and help your guests. We are very happy you had a nice time biking, staying with us and our area. We look forward to your return to the area.

We had a wonderful stay at the Franklin Victorian Bed and Breakfast. It was beautifully decorated and had a warm feel after a long day of biking. The innkeeper was welcoming and helpful with our questions. One of the highlights was the bedding. Those sheets are awesome and as previously described very "creamy". I couldn't resist getting a set for myself. We will definitely return for another stay.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Everyone needs Summer Get A Ways and we are happy you had a nice time while here in Sparta at our B&B. We get many descriptions of creamy, buttery, super soft of our wonderful sheets. We are happy to make sure our guests can take a little memory home with them. We look forward to your return and we hope you are enjoying your sheets! Let us know when you need more.

We wanted to do something extra special to celebrate our 10th anniversary, and choosing the Franklin Victorian B&B as well as the Sparta area really met our expectations. The home is beyond beautiful…all of the special touches throughout are just intriguing (the details are spectacular). I could easily run out of positive adjectives to describe this B&B! Jen is a sweet hostess and it’s obvious that she appreciates the beauty and history of her home. It was very nice to have a choice to eat breakfast in our room, simply because we wanted this to be a laid-back weekend without the need to be up and dressed by a certain time, etc. The breakfasts were scrumptious, as were the chocolate chip cookies that were baked fresh every night (oh, and the chocolate candies that were set out in little baskets throughout the home were super yummy too)! Saturday morning we biked on the Elroy-Sparta trail to Norwalk and back. We were pleasantly surprised that the trail wasn’t very busy at all! We really enjoyed meeting the owner and bartender at “Lil’s” in Norwalk (where we stopped for a cold drink before heading back to Sparta) and the small chats we had with some of the other bikers on the trail. Overall, the weather was gorgeous, the hospitality amazing, the bike ride was peaceful, the accommodations were wonderful, and the food was delicious! We had a really great time….it was a perfect anniversary!! Thanks, Jen! John and Sheri, Mankato, MN.

Thank you John and Sheri, Happy 10th we look forward to your 11th when we hope you will return to stay with us again. We are very happy you had a wonderful stay.

Franklin Victorian B&B in Sparta, WI is an awesome place to stay while visiting Sparta. Jennifer and Steve are very gracious and welcoming.

I stayed at this B&B in 1994. I was ecstatic to come back in 2011 to discover it is still airy, immaculate, beautiful, quiet, and safe!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We were not the owners of property in 1994 but have made many new friends and have been able to host many new guests. We are happy you came back to Sparta for a visit and had a wonderful time.

Jennifer is a gracious hostess, sharing information about the home and the area. Everything is glistening-clean, and there are "extra touches" at every turn. To top it off, the breakfast is superb.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a nice review about our B&B. I love what I do and meeting the people make it even more wonderful!

I thoroughly enjoyed the visit with my sisters back to the "big house". It brought back some wonderful memories of my younger years. It was a pleasure to meet Jen Dunn, and see what she had done to the house. A truly wonderful experience to sleep in my bedroom of the 60's. Thanks Jen for your exceptional hospitality. Great time!

I was so happy that you shared your pictures and family stories about living in this house when you were young. It is a piece of my puzzle I feel I know about more about with the history of the property. It was truly wonderful to meet you all. Thank you again for sharing and look forward to your next visit.

We had an amazing time. The Franklin was very clean and cozy. Very quiet and relaxing after a long day of biking the Elroy-Sparta trail. Breakfast was great both days and we would recommend this to everyone.

Riding the Elroy-Sparta bike trail is a highlight of the area recreation and we are so happy that you came. After the long ride we know that NAPS are very important, so we love providing you the privacy and a cozy place to be. Thank you and look forward to your return stay.

Quick trip to the area to bike the trail from Elroy to Sparta. The Inn is conveniently located within walking distance to an assortment of dining options, perfect for evening stroll. Jennifer was ever so helpful helping us find a local winery to visit on our way back home. Breakfast was fabulous.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
So happy you were able to fit in a stop at the Winery on your way home from staying with us. Glad to be of help and look forward to your visit to the SW Hidden Vallies area again.

Each year we go on a biking weekend with three other couples, so the Franklin B&B was perfect for us. Jennifer is great and even provided plates and silverware for our hors d'oeuvres.The breakfasts were delicious. We loved sitting on the front porch. The Inn is very cozy & comfortable. Great location. We plan to go back. John & Judy

Thank you so much John and Judy, we are so happy that you and your friends had a wonderful time, shared memories, ate, and laughed...and also did some biking together. It was wonder metting you all and I hope we see you again next year for yur annual trip.

The Franklin Victorian B&B was a beautiful, peaceful place to stay. The historic site has been beautifully maintained, the room was great, and the sheets were really soft. Jennifer was very welcoming and even willing to accommodate my special dietary requests for breakfast. I'd definitely recommend staying here.

Our stay was wonderful. It was very enjoyable to sit on the front porch and to take in the tranquility of the surroundings. This is conviently located to many areas of interest.

Thank you so much for the nice review and we appreicate it very much and taking the time to help our future guests too. We are so happy you had a nice time and were able to relax.

We stayed at the Franklin B&B while in the area to run a half marathon. It was quiet and the bed was super comfy so we slept well. Jennifer prepared a special brown bag breakfast for us early in the morning to have ready for our run and even thought of packing Gatorade. There are many 24/7 amenities available and lots of thoughtful extras. We will stay again for next year's half marathon.

Thank you for the nice review. Yes, we provide an experience here at the B&B and an experience for the bicyclist that come to ride the trails and we want to provide the things that you will need to do both. Bed, Breakfast and Beyond...

The innkeepers went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied and provided valuable information about surrounding activities etc. The rooms were immaculate and the historic home was exquisite. We had a delicious breakfast. The best B&B experience we have had in 10 years. We would return to stay just to get away.

I randomly picked this B and B off the internet because it was the perfect distance from my home to stop on a driving trip to bring my son to college and it was a cozy and charming experience! The rooms were sweet and old fashioned yet impeccably neat. There were so many interesting things to look at all around, and so thoughtfully furnished. The service was perfect and very accommodating. All in all, it was a fabulous place to stay and I will be back for sure.

We are happy you stayed with us because we to have a daughter in college and know how the moving of our kids to college can be stressful. We are happy you were able to relax and a cozy stay here before your next day of travel to college with your son, we hope all things went well.

Jennifer is a great hostess. Her attention to all sorts of details is very impressive. We have stayed at many B&B's and I must say that those little touches created a comfortable, even nurturing environment - more so than most any place that we have stayed. The B&B is beautiful and we enjoyed our stay in spite of the fact that my husband got sick while we were there. Jennifer couldn't have been more helpful in stepping up and doing more than what we would have expected to compensate for the glitch in our vacation.

Yes, I started my morning takening my guest to emergancy because he was not felling well from the day before travels. They were traveling by motorcycle. I was able to drop everything take him in my car and get him and his wife there for help. It was a very windy day with warnings, so for them to travel to their next B&B was not recommended either and I wanted him to feel better and just rest for the day at the B&B, and they agreed. He started feeling better and they were able to travel the next day. We always want our guests to be at the top of care and I was glad to step in and help.

I knew it was going to be nice after reading all the positive reviews. It went beyond my expectations. This was the nicest B & B we have stayed in. I can't wait to go back.

Located in a very quite neighborhood, they had a large garage to store our bikes. The rooms were very vintage and the house was loaded with beautiful wood work and a fantastic stain glass window. Great food, cookies and hospitality. Lots of restaurants in the immediate area.

Spata is about small town of about 9000 people. We are just two blocks from the downtown area of shops and nice places to eat. We are happy your stay with us was nice and exceeded!

Beautiful B&B. We stayed in the Franklin Suite. The bedroom and bed were very comfortable. My husband loved the soft sheet! Our bathroom was large with a spa tub and rain shower. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. This B & B had everything one could ask for - games, books, DVD, wireless access, local information, etc. Appreciated the innkeepers attention to details in the room.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for your nice review. We are happy you enjoyed our creamy/soft...sheets and were able to relax on what the Franklin Suite has to offer. Just remember if you like our sheets you are always welcome to order some from us at anytime, just send us an email.

My wife and I were exhausted after a tough couple of weeks and drove 3.5 hours to get to Sparta. As soon as we stepped into the fantastic inn and saw our beautiful room we began feeling calm and refreshed, this is not hypebole. The service was perfect, gracious but in no way intrusive. The breakfast was outstanding, fresh, handmade and delicious.

Gald you had a relaxing time at our beautiful B&B. thank you

The Franklin Victorian in Sparta, WI is absolutely charming, well-preserved and obviously lovingly cared for. We found the proprietress to be rather too strict, which is understandable given this is her home, but she was strict to the point of being inflexible and not as accommodating as an innkeeper should be.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
I have never heard this before in all my years of inn keeping. We are not "strict" innkeepers and we are very flexible and accommodating to our guests needs. They can come and go as they please, we give them their privacy. We always tell our guest is there anything we can do for them, get them, make their stay better; WE want to know and are very open people. We take great care and pride in our B&B. Thank you for giving us your feedback, we wish we would have known your feelings or concerns before this review and knew more. Thank you.

I have never been to a B&B that had as many details (small touches) as the FVBB. From cookies, coffee in the early morning, candy dishes everywhere..wine and cheese tasting, just to mention a few. We found everything we could need or use for our stay and then some. Things I forgot or wouldn't have thought of to bring along were in baskets in our room. The sheets they use were wonderful! And the food, outstanding! I think they go the extra mile to make it a warm, inviting place to visit.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We love it when our guests are WOW-ed! We make sure their stay with us at our B&B is a great experieince from the candy and cookies to the full breakfast, coffee in the morning. We go the extra mile for everyone and we look forward to your return stay. Thank you for the review.

Thank you for the quick review and we are so happy you had a nice time.

Planned a 2 day trip on the Elroy-Sparta trail biking with an overnight at the Franklin House. Well, rain shortened the biking to one day but the visit to the Franklin House and guidance from innkeeper Jen, saved the day as we had a wonderful visit and were informed of some great alternative activities in the Sparta area, from antique shopping to dining to the Deke Slayton (astronaut)-Bicycling Museum.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Guests, we always hope that the weather is perfect for biking on the Sparta-Elroy trail but sometimes that does not happen. I am glad we were able to have other things to do and visit her in the area. We have many things to do for all guests enjoyment. We are please that you had a nice stay and look forward to your return for biking and hope for blue sky.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and we loved it. It is conveniently located at the crossroads of the Sparta-Elroy and the LaCrosse River bike trails. Jennifer and Steve were very helpful with ideas on restaurants, antiquing, places to stop along the trail, etc.

The Franklin Victorian Inn is easily the best place my husband and I have ever stayed in! We just got back from our stay 2 days ago, and we've already booked our next one! The rooms, innkeeper, and food were beyond our expectations! I wish I could keep this place as my little secret!

We want to make you smile while you stay here at our B&B. We thank you for the nice comments.

We loved our first B&B experience. Everything from when we walk in the door, to our room, amenities, inside bike storage and an awesome breakfast that Jennifer cooked were all Outstanding! Their website was very easy to use; make a reservation, see what is available in the area from activities to restaurants. We rode the Elroy-Sparta bike trail and were able to ride to the trail from the B&B. Our room was very clean and comfortable and the extra care Jennifer and Steve give to their guests is awesome. They know the area and have many great suggestions. We watched movies in the room on the DVD player they provide, played games, listening to cd’s and read books on the wonderful front porch. We felt well rested during our stay, and it was hard to leave. We will definitely be back next year to ride more trails and see Jennifer and Steve at the B&B.

Thank you so much for taking the time to complete a review and we are happy you had a nice experience at our B&B.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Franklin Victorian B&B. The room was very comfortable and obviously a lot of thought had been given to making us welcomed. The hosts have paid a lot of attention to details that shows their eagerness to please.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy lives and write a great review of the time you experience here with us. You are Welcome!

The cleanliness of the room was second rate and the food for an inn thought to be an elegant place to enjoy an evening and with a opportunity to dine in a stately yet beautiful victorian home and also to look forward to an elegant yet outstandinmg breakfast meal was just plain and simple both days. I would have thought the cook/check would have been more creative. Eggs with potatoes both mornings and no less cooked sausage with different items added each day and a bit of fruit on the side, quit bland to say the least when compared to the advertising and stature of the residence.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
For 8 years, we are an award-winning bed and breakfast. Reviews for our B&B have been highly complimented in cleanliness and breakfasts by so many. We understand our clients most which are wanting a smaller, healthy and hearty breakfast because of the sports they are taking part in while here. (Reviewers, we do only provide breakfast with our licensing). We only have one recipe with potatoes and we show a sample menu http://www.franklinvictorianbb.com/samplemenu.php for all guests to view on our website. Guests want our recipes and see them on our website and can’t wait to make themselves. Many guests do not want a lot for breakfast (smaller proportion) they tell us because many of the guests don't usually even eat breakfast, so they enjoy what we serve and they don't even have to cook. We have a beautiful Victorian B&B and we hope everyone has a wonderful experience and as you can see by our other reviews guests, enjoy their stay. So, come be our guests and enjoy biking, canoeing, Amish and many other things that this area has to offer.

We stayed in the Master Bedroom and I found it a little too cluttered. The dark wallpaper made me a little claustrophobic. The porch was nice, but the seat cushions on the wicker furniture not very comfortable. We loved the inn's accessibility to the Elroy-Sparta trail and appreciated the dining recommendation of Angelini's. Saturday morning breakfast was superb!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for taking time for a review. To have personal options on Interior design, what is clutter and softness of cushions is all personal preferences’ and we value yours. With so many guests annually we try to provide them a great experience, it is hard to be custom to all personal preferences’ of our guests, but we sure do try. We are glad you enjoyed your bike trip and breakfast. We hope you can stay again longer next time and thank you.

We greatly appreciated the very helpful and informative shuttle to the trailhead in Elroy by one of the proprietors.

Meeting guests expectations and providing an atmosphere that meets those expectations is our goal. We proudly appreciate your kind words. We provide the extras for our guests like shuttles, knowlegde because we care for our guests. Thank you for the review.

Thank you so much for returning to stay with us and we appreicate your business. We are happy you had your space and enjoyed your time here.

No detail was too small. It was quite obvious that lots of thought and attention was put into creating a wonderful retreat from the world. This is a wifi connection and computer available if one doesn't want to be too disconnected, though I preferred being completely unplugged for my visit. Definitely recommend this B&B! All the accolades are on the money. And the scrumptious breakfast will keep you going until dinner time.

We love Happy Guests! Hospitality is planning and meeting guests expectations. Thank you for the wonderful review and we will look forward to your next stay.

We have been around several B&B's all around Wisconsin over the years, and this one ranks among the top three in the state in our opinion. The rooms are wonderful, decorated with taste. The property has only 4 rooms, and is maintained with a meticulous attention to details. We especially appreciated the air-jet bath, and the garage to store our bikes overnight, before heading to the Elroy-Sparta trail in the morning.

Captivating memories is a source of pure refreshment. Now you have new memories of staying at the Franklin Victorian. We enjoyed having you as our guests and look forward to recapping many more great times.

We stayed one night at the Franklin Victorian B&B and will likely return during the summer to try out the bike trails. The B&B is exceptionally clean and quiet and the service is wonderful. We stayed in the Master Suite, which was warm and inviting. Breakfast was very good and enough to hold us for a good part of the day. If there is a downside, it is that there is no TV in the room, but depending on your perspective, that could be an upside as well! The innkeepers do a superb job at making sure all your needs are met. I would highly recommend this B&B.

It's been years since we have stayed at a b and b but we quickly remembered why we used to enjoy these stays so much. Everything was wonderful; the ONLY complaint is that the mattress was a bit saggy (I am used to a firm mattress). Very clean, fabulous service, would like to return some day.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Yes, we have had a cooler October but the Fall Color is wonderful on the roads and bike trails. We are so happy you had a nice stay with us. (Yes, if we could have mattress for all likes that would be wonderful). We are happy for your review and we look forward to your return.

We don't normally stay at B & B's, but our wonderful experience at Franklin Victorian has changed our minds. The lovely decor was very comfortable with so many little details that made us feel at home. It was the perfect place to relax after a long day of biking on the Sparta-Elroy trail. Transportation to the trail, storage for our bikes, walking distance to good dining establishments, delicious breakfasts, variety of beverages available 24/7, computer, TV, and comfortable beds were just a few of the amenities of Franklin Victorian. Best of all, innkeeper, Jennifer, was genuinuely, friendly and accommodating. Jeanne & Bill

The Franklin Victorian Bed and Breakfast was one of the best places I have ever stayed at. The house was charming and the Mater Room was so comfortable. I really enjoyed the king sized bed. I had not slept that well in months! There was a tone of info in the room about the town we were in and previous guests left suggestions and that was very helpful when it came time to find a place to eat. I would strongly recommend the Franklin as a great place to stay. The breakfast in the morning was so delicious and the conversation with the other guests was a great way to start off your day. Plus, the chocolate around the house was a nice treat!!

We had spent five nights in northern Wisconsin at a friends lake house. We were only seven hours away from home, but wanted to continue our relaxing week, so we choose to stop about half way home and stay at the Franklin Vistorian Bed & Breakfast in Sparta. This B&B was warm, welcoming, and more than was advertised. We also got to meet 3 other wonderful couples and enjoyed talking with them during the wine and cheese tasing in the evening, after dinner, and during the delicious breakfast that was served. Jennifer and Steve are delightful host.

We enjoyed our stay at the Franklin Victorian Bed and Breakfast, the room was wonderful, Jennifer Dunn was a great hostess, we will return!

It was our first stay in a bed and breakfast. We had recieved a gift card for a wedding gift and didn't get around to using it until a year later. When we were getting ready to go, my biggest concern was lack of privacy. We just wanted to get away and spend quiet time with each other. The Franklin House is so wonderful. The only time we really saw the other guests was at breakfast. It was very nice to hear the experiences the others have had with other B & B's. The guests gave suggestions too on what to do in the area as we hadn't ever been to Sparta. We never got bored or ran out out of things to do. The porch was AWESOME, sitting and listening to the birds and having a cup of coffee to start the day. We were so impressed that we will definitely plan another trip back. Jennifer was a most enjoyable host, she made us feel very comfortable and was available whenever we needed her. It made us believe we can enjoy another B & B. We have decided that we would rather stay at a B & B instead of a hotel/motel anytime. Thank you so much Jennifer for everything.

From taking us to a bike shop to buy an extra tube (we were plagued with flats on our weekend visit) to offering helpful hints about restaurants and directions, we were well taken care of during our visit at the Franklin Victorian B&B. Lovely home, gracious hosts.

We had a great stay at The Franklin Victorian. It was nice to receive the shuttle to the Elroy Sparta trail and suggestions of where to stop along the way. All of the extras were fun too - candy dishes with candy, pop in the fridge and cookies at night. They thought of everything - robes, games, movies, many choices of drinks available at any time. The front porch is a fun place to sit and relax.

We've stayed at the Franklin Victorian B&B every summer for six years during our annual bike trip. The B&B is gorgeous, clean, and the inn keepers are friendly and welcoming. Also, the breakfast is wonderful!

We do offer a great service and the bike shuttle is another service that so many of our guests are happy we offer and enjoy the bike ride one way back to the b&b.

I had the pleasure of staying here on a business trip recently. I had driven 9 and a half hours to get to Sparta and was well in need of recharging my batteries. The house is gorgeous, the accommodations were pleasant and inviting and the service was impeccable. The peacefulness of this house gave me the necessary respite to continue by journey. Far better than staying at a chain hotel. Highly recommended. Kevin

My husband and I spent 2 days and nights in Sparta for a fun, romantic getaway. One day we biked nearly 60 miles, then canoed lazily down the Kickapoo River the next. We felt spoiled to be able to come back to our B&B each evening to relax and unwind. We especially enjoyed rocking on the front porch and joining in with the small town pace of Sparta.

This B&B is absolutely fantastic! Trust me - there won't be enough room to truly rate this facility! The Innkeepers (Steve & Jennifer Dunn) go out of their way to make you feel at home and with our visit, they succeeded! The facility is spotless, beautiful & so cozy! The food is out of this world! I've even gone so far as to print some of their recipes to enjoy them at home. I just can't say enough good about the Franklin Victorian B&B.
