We come to Franklin regularly for the Historic Home Tours and had the good fortune on our last visit to stay at Magnolia House with Robbie & Jimmy. The accommodations are all first rate and the hospitality as warm and personable as you might wish for. If you are looking for a more intimate, relaxing environment in a charming historic... More

My husband and I stayed at Magnolia house during Memorial Day weekend. We enjoyed our stay immensely! The house is beautiful and very comfortable with a beautiful sun room and outside porches for their guests use. Robbie and Jim were very kind and made us feel very welcome. Breakfast was delicious! We will most definitely stay at Magnolia House again!

This was absolutely the best B and B ever. So cozy and comfortable. Close to all the shopping but then felt removed from all the hustle and bustle of downtown Franklin. Robbie and Jimmy were wonderful inn keepers. The breakfast was to die for. Will visit again and again.

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
