About this house rental
COVID-19:
Due to Covid, we are currently not accepting overlapping reservations for individual rooms (ie multiple guests in the house). This listing is for private use of the ENTIRE HOUSE, which sleeps up to seven. The house is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between guests as per CDC and NYS standards, and when possible we've set a 24+ hour gap between guest check-ins/outs. Check in is via code entry, no human contact required. Please read on and see the photos for further description.
This spacious, lovely family house is your home away from home, a relaxing getaway from hectic city life, a peek into village life, a writer's retreat, a base for trips to Cooperstown, or whatever you imagine! Located in the center of Franklin, New York, it is around the corner from the beloved Tulip & Rose restaurant, a block from the energizing Franklin Stage Company, a 15 minute drive to Oneonta, 20 minutes to the Cooperstown All Star Village, and 42 minutes to the Cooperstown Dreams Park. You can rent the whole house or just a room or two.
We have high speed wifi, so streaming content on your devices is certainly an option, but for those guests who prefer cable TV please note that we do not have televisions or cable access.
Also, although this region is well known for having a very comfortable summer climate and few homes in Franklin have A/C, we understand some guests need climate control. Please note the house does not have A/C. We do provide fans for every bedroom.
REVIEWS:
"Anna's historic house in Franklin is an excellent place to stay in the region. It is supremely kid-friendly, well-appointed, uniquely furnished, and very clean. Anna was a pleasure to deal with and responsive to questions. Highly recommended if you find yourself heading to Franklin and the Oneonta area."
"We had the best time and wished we could have stayed longer! Anna's home is very comfortable clean and decorated with the most amazing style. Our kids loved the drum set and piano. My husband didn't snore! My twin sister fell in love with the shower and all its detailed fixtures. Everyone had the best nights sleep. This morning we had a tasty breakfast at Tulip and Rose. Anna is a great host! Her house is perfectly set up for guests. Her decorating style made us feel very comfortable. The attention to detail to everything from furniture, art, to unique hooks shows she really cares! Any question that I had she responded with a friendly response. The next trip to NY we will definitely stay at the Franklin Guest House and plan to use the beautiful kitchen! Thank you so much!"
"Cozy and clean, totally redone, this guest house is so welcoming, quiet & relaxing, roomy and warm. The beds are dreamy, so comfy and soft, and sheets and blankets are all new and soft. All new amenities, the views outside are so beautiful, and the town of Franklin is quiet and calming. I would stay again & again at other times of the year to see the beautiful seasons change. I truly enjoyed my stay!"
"Anna saved the day when my phone & computer crashed, causing me to lose all the info from AirB&B, except for her phone #. We arrived late in the evening, & she promptly returned our text with the entry code ~ whew!!! The house is fascinating, as Anna is an extremely talented artist, with a unique eye for placement of her work. It would take another week to begin to absorb the artwork alone. We loved the eclectic combo of antiques & modern. The house is immaculately clean. Absolutely everything one could need was provided in a logical, hence easy to find, fashion. We went back to Franklin to spread our mother's ashes. The beauty & peace & quiet added to the nostalgia of our visit. The fact that the bedroom window faced our childhood home was a perk probably just relevant to me! If you are looking for an "unplugged" experience, this is perfect- there is no TV. The 2nd-hand store, a four minute walk, was an incredible find, as was the Railroad Museum. The only eatery in town was, unfortunately, closed for the week. Oneonta is a mere 11 miles away. We found Sloans, Jay's Place, Your Father's Place, & of course we returned - twice - to Brook's Chicken BBQ!!"
“This large house in a small village was the perfect spot the the getaway we were looking for. The house is eclectically decorated, the kitchen modern and the beds comfortable. There is a huge assortment of books, magazines, arts& crafts, puzzles and games for all ages. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again when back in the area.”

“Anna's place is very spacious, clean and comfortable. It is wonderfully appointed with antiques, art, stuff for kids, etc. Yet the kitchen is modern. We enjoyed it and would certainly return.”
-Don
“Great place. Keeps the atmosphere of the village alive. Felt very comfortable and welcome here. This place is like stepping back in time but with all of today’s amenities. The beds were super comfortable and everything was clean and well organized. We came for the theater to which we walked. Our check in time was accommodated and Anna responded quickly to all.”
-Kenneth
“Lovely space with a great host.”
-Daniel
"This property is roomy and immaculate. It has 3 bedrooms and is conducive to bringing children or friends. It resides in a small town with an eclectic cafe around the corner. Easy ride to Cooperstown All Star tournament or just a quiet house in the country. Owner, Anna, is funny and responsive. Why stay anywhere else when in this area?”
-Craig
"Thanks again for the care and thought that was put in to the guesthouse. We really enjoyed it."
"Eclectically decorated, impeccably clean, very comfy farmhouse. Located in the quaint town of Franklin close to Oneonta, Delhi and Cooperstown. Very quiet at night, slept like a rock. Bring a book b/c there is no TV- but does have WiFi. Highly recommend."
"Thank you so much Anna. Lovely home and we really love your art as well."
"Hi Anna! Thanks so much for the opportunity to stay at your place in Franklin. It was just fantastic, and exactly as you described in your listing. We met your lovely neighbor Diana and had a great time at her shop (Botanical Treasures) and in her garden!"
"We very much enjoyed our 2 night stay at Anna’s place. We were in the suite with half bath. The suite was clean, decorated with care and was very comfortable. I would highly recommend this place."

Everything was great! Friendly/welcoming host with a clean and well-appointed house. It's a safe, quiet area. We stayed with our two young kids and they had a great time with lots of space to play! We would definitely stay here again.

This well equipped home was the perfect place to stay while in the western Catskills for a family wedding. Franklin is a cool village, with a great little coffee shop (KINGS) and an amazing cheese/specialty food/wine shop (GOOD TASTE MARKET) which offers pasta, bread and funky condiments - what more do you need. The house is vintage style, but really well kept, beautifully furnished and includes a fully equipped kitchen. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home to families or a few couples as the perfect stay/getaway in this neck of the woods. The host was super responsive and we would definately book this home again. Oh, and heat worked really well, too!! (PS pack & play in pic is our own).

We came to Franklin for a family wedding on the outskirts of town and were happy not to have to come all the way from a hotel farther away. It was very convenient.We enjoyed this house so much and it had pretty much everything you could need in general. We loved that there were so many areas of the downstairs to relax in comfort surrounded by interesting antiques (or at least vintage!) that added to the character of the house. And the art that is throughout the house (mentioned in other reviews) was interesting. Perhaps not everyone's taste, but we sure enjoyed looking at it all, especially the ceramics. Somehow all the vintagey furnishings and art played off eachother in a tasteful way and this house just had so much unusual interest!The bedrooms were all great, nicely furnished as described previously, and sheets and towels were all provided and nice quality. The bedrooms are all on the second floor, which I did not know, but it was fine for us. However, there is a fairly steep set of stairs (typical for a house of this period I'm sure) to go up to the bedrooms, so if anyone would have a problem with that, it would be good to figure it out in advance with your party. I was glad that my elderly mothers did not join us because those stairs might have presented too much of a difficulty. But I'm 60 and managed fine (and always with great care!)Also, what is typical for an old historical home is beautiful old plank floors. Beautiful to look at but let's face it, they can be creaky. If you are super sound sensitive while sleeping, and someone in your party is a nightowl or just has to get up a lot at night, then it could be an issue. In that case, I'd make sure the sound sensitive person was at the end of the hall the farthest from the bathroom, LOL. We made great use of the full kitchen, and there was ample dishes and glasses and mugs. In fact just the display of dishes on open shelves was a beautiful sight to behold. The fridge was very clean which is always nice. The only thing I was surprised about was the lack of any kitchen items to "borrow" like tin foil, plastic wrap, baggies. I'm not sure if that's necessary but if you plan to cook you might want to make sure to pack some of that with you. That said, there was ample paper towels, and dish soap.If I come to Franklin again, I'm definitely coming back!
