We started our trip on our bikes down the Trace with the wonderful hospitality of Jimmy and Robbie Southerland. Our room and bed were so comfortable and beautifully decorated. Felt like were staying with royalty. The breakfast was an... More

I spent about 3 weeks at the Magnolia House around Christmas time and it was a blessing to stay there. It felt much more like staying in a home then a hotel. The rooms are great, and the large lounge areas are very spacious and pleasant to relax in. Robbie always makes a great breakfast and looks after her guests... More

The Magnolia House is a nicely renovated Victorian home with a lovely and bright sitting room upstairs, a short walk from the town center of Franklin. Robbie and Jimmy, the proprietors, are friendly and helpful. The rooms, all with high ceilings and private baths, are spotless and pleasant. The ambience is quiet and when guests gather around the large dining... More

The Magnolia House is a lovely little B&B in Franklin, TN. It is a short walk to historic downtown or to the Carter House and Lotz House. It is comfortable, cozy and clean. The couple who run it are very sweet and accommodating. Breakfast was absolutely delicious! I would certainly stay there again!

Robbie's warm personality and the house's charm made for a welcome stay. The rooms lack for nothing and the 2 seating areas were comfortably furnished with complimentary tea and coffee. I highly recommend this location, which is a short, pleasant walk into equally charming main street. I would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed 2 nights at Magnolia House. It is a pleasant walk (about 15-20 minutes) thru a charming neighborhood to the downtown Franklin area with its restaurants and shops. It is an even shorter walk to the Carter House and the Lotz House. The inn was very nice and the breakfasts were delicious. Just a couple very minor points that... More

Last weekend our family had the pleasure of spending four nights at the Magnolia House while visiting Franklin for our son's wedding. Our family from various states occupied all of the rooms and having two gathering rooms, porch and private entrance provided the perfect place for us to visit and relax between wedding events. The rooms are clean and quiet,... More

My husband and I chose to stay at the Magnolia House, to celebrate our 5 yr wedding anniversary. We live in the Franklin area, but wanted a getaway, without traveling too far. This was the PERFECT place to stay! Everything was so beautiful and clean. You can tell that Ms. Ronnie really takes time and pride in the details. She... More
