Perfect location and wonderful home!

We had an excellent visit in Franklin for our annual family gathering. The home was well equipped and very comfortable. Convenient to lots of cute spots in the downtown area and not far from the freeway to explore the rest of Indianapolis! We enjoyed the snacks and spent some quality family time. Thanks for sharing your home!

The Dragonfly

Our weekend was full of family, friends, & football. Wandered around Franklin, a charming town and a few restful nights sleep in a quiet and adorable blue house known as The Dragonfly. We would love to visit again in the future.

Stayed at the Dragonfly for five nights while attending the Marc Adam’s School of Woodworking. Just what we needed, a quiet neighborhood and a clean well equipped house. Beds were very comfortable.

Girls Trip

We had the best time in the cutest VRBO! The hot tub was so fun to sit out in and visit. The house was clean adorable and just so cozy. Lots of lovely blankets to snuggle up with while we watched a movie and just visited. A short walk to the square where there was so many fun things to do! I would recommend the Dragon Fly Inn for anyone wanting to have a delightful little get away.

Cute, clean, comfortable

We were in Franklin for an annual extended family Christmas. Three of my children (2 with spouses) and 1 grandchild stayed with me at the house. The bedrooms and bathrooms were adequately sized and well stocked with blankets and supplies. The kitchen was small but well equipped. Unfortunately we did not have time to use the hot tub.
