The management was in desperate need of additional staff. It is a lovely, very old bldg but needed some serious cleaning and mtc. Breakfast very well prepared. Very enjoyable recounting of the history.
Allergies to dust, cant go back.

It was old house and I understand that they need constant maintenance. The owner of the house was out of town and left only one employee to run the place, which she did graciously. Given that is was a holiday weekend, and it appeared to be a full house, the owner should have picked another weekend to be out of town.
Historic, over 100 years old, and former high school, this is an interesting stay that takes you back to that prior generations' feeling. The positives were a comfortable bed, clean, good breakfast, and the sole negative was it was cold on the interior (cold outside) with no available blanket and no ability to increase heat in the room.
This was my first time staying at a bed and breakfast, and it was a wonderful experience! The owner was friendly and took the time to answer all of our questions. The breakfast was amazing, and the location is perfect—within walking distance of shops and dining options. The house is beautiful and full of history, but when booking, keep in mind its age the age of the house. Overall, a great stay, and I highly recommend it!
Loved this Victorian!! Beautiful home, porch, furniture, tall ceilings! Breakfast was awesome & tge sunroom/breakfast room was perfect! Paul is a wonderful host!
A couple of feedback points: mattress in our room was uncomfirtable & sleep was difficult… I’m tall & toilet was VERY low… but loved the view, the town, the breezy from porch with rocking chairs!!!
We visited for Mother's Day weekend and everyone had a great time! It is an old historic boarding house that was converted into a historic inn. The inn has so much character and history, and came with a delicious homemade breakfast. It's in reasoning distraught to downtown and many attractions. We will definitely stay again!

The breakfast was great and really appreciatted the coffee and water available.... but the property and our matress was somewhat dated. Overall it was a good stay
Franklin Terrace is a beautiful and comfortable B&B. I liked walking down to the brewery and through downtown and being able to sit on the screen porch afterward.
