    The room at Franklin House was a comfortable accommodation in a well-kept home. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Chuck and Dona, our hosts, were exceedingly helpful with suggestions and even made dinner reservations for us and provided us with chairs for an outside concert our first night.

    The Franklin House is wonderful for travelers who want to feel welcome and at home. Dona and Chuck are warm and thoughtful hosts. Dona's breakfast were delicious and varied, and beverages and snacks were always available. Our room was charming and had a comfortable bed, armchair and rocking chair. A quick walk from downtown, the Franklin House is a great place to stay.

    Dona and Chuck are incredible hosts and do not miss a beat in making their guests feel at home and comfortable. (You won't believe the breakfast Dona prepares. Fabulous!) We loved the house and were especially taken with the before and after pictures....truly a labor of love. Jonesborough is a fun town....check out The Dining Room for an excellent meal. We would recommend the Franklin House to people visiting the Tri-Cities area.


    Wonderful!

    A charming inn in a charming town! The innkeepers, Dona & Chuck, are gracious and welcoming and make you feel like you are visiting a favorite relative. The room was clean and the bed was so very comfortable! What a great cook Dona is - the full breakfast each morning was a great way to start the day! A definite return trip is a must!
