4 Bedroom House in Franklin

This property is located in East Franklin, on five acres of fields along the bank of tidal Hog Bay Creek. The area is rural, and the view from the deck down over the fields to the marsh is beautiful.
In the spring, alewives run up the creek and osprey, eagles, and herons are a common sight. The fields are home to numerous birds including bluebirds, woodpeckers, yellow bellied northern flickers, yellow finches, etc.
The house sleeps eight comfortably, with a fold-out couch on the first floor for overflow, and a fold out cot and a pack and play available. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a full bath. The first floor has a library with a queen bed, kitchen, dining/living room, and a full bath. There is a grill on the back deck.

Summary: We had a fantastic time here. Seven of us stayed here for a week and there was plenty of room and beds. The house was clean and well taken care of. The appliances are all nice and there is a really nice washer & dryer. My husband and I slept in the downstairs bedroom and the bed was really comfy. It was nice having screens on the windows also because we would crack our window at night to let in a cool breeze. I sent Laurel, the host, several messages before our trip and she always responded right away. Great host! We are hoping to stay here again next year. It was perfect for our group.
