Clean and quaint.
The house was clean and a good value but expected more. There was not a tv in the Main bedroom which we are used to seeing and would have been helpful since the living room furniture was not particularly cozy or relaxing. I realized there was no hot tub but did not realize there was just a stand-up shower in the bathroom and a very small one.

Wonderful property !
Quiet, restful and beautiful, this home has everything anyone could want. The kitchen is fully appointed to cook anything including bread or cookies, there was even a flour sifter, rolling pin and baking sheets, plus a grill. There are clear instructions for everything. Short stay or long one, you could not find a better place. The hosts were beyond gracious, there was even a small pitcher of fresh flowers on the table when we arrived. We truly hope to stay here again.

The Campbell Farm House was like our home away from home
We loved how you had the feel of the past blended in with modern day.. The farm house has an interesting history and had everything we could want. We loved the screened in porch and the feeling that we were by ourselves out in the country even though there were houses and people near by. It is a quaint place and we enjoyed our stay.

A beautiful home with a wonderful history!
This home was perfect for our family over Thanksgiving. Our girls really enjoyed playing in the yard and the stream. Great location, close to everything, but still private. We absolutely loved spending time on the porch. Jim and Pam are wonderful hosts and they have put a lot of love and thought into their home. It was very clean and included everything we needed. We are so thankful for our relaxing week and look forward to coming back soon.

Everything was perfect! I will be going back in a couple of months.The home was beautiful and had everything you could think of from Iced beer mugs to a Kuerig coffee maker. So relaxing and the mountains were gorgeous. The rockers on the shady porch were so nice! Jim and Pam were super nice and accomodating!

Great week in the Mountains!
Campbell farm is a very clean comfortable place to stay in Franklin. We enjoyed our stay very much. Our only issue was that in the summer time the very beautiful trees around the house prevent there being a view of the mountains from the house. The farm is located in the beautiful Iola Valley which provides plenty of mountain vistas around the farm! We would return if we have the opportunity!

Country Christmas
We had a great Christmas at the Campbell farmhouse. The kids loved the barns out back to explore and we enjoyed the quiet beauty of the area. The house was very neat and clean and the beds were comfortable. Our only disappointment was that the gas logs weren't working this time, but we would definitely stay here again! You've done an amazing job anticipating guest's needs. Thank you! Happy New Year!
