The rooms are wonderful and spotless. The beds smell good. The owner is a delightful soul who smiles constantly and laughs frequently. She has a habit of baking cookies as her guests arrive. This is a perfect escape for a happy couple or for a family mini retreat. If you have business in town, especially at Franklin College, this is the best place to stay.

It's a…read morevery cozy B&B with lots of unique antiques to entertain the eye. :) The family that owns it is very hospitable and eager to please guests. We booked the dinner & a movie package, which included a gift certificate to a local restaurant of our choice and a pair of movie passes to the historic Artcraft theater in downtown Franklin. We ended up not going to the movie as planned because after we checked in, we just felt so cozy & at home that we decided we needed to take afternoon naps instead! :) There are several different rooms to choose from at the Inn and you can select which one best fits your needs by viewing photos/reading descriptions online. Or just ask Kim, the owner, for tips. We stayed in the Heritage room and found it to be very spacious and comfy and every other room looked equally nice. In the evening, we enjoyed one of the two media rooms available and snuggled up to watch some TV. The inn offers a DVD library and a variety of board games as well. Our breakfast was fantastic. I had waffles with strawberry topping, bacon, eggs and a fruit plate. My husband had a Western omelet, sausage, hash browns and toast. The servings were generously sized and freshly prepared. We loved the fact that there so many options to choose from for breakfast. You can check out their menu online. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to family & friends! If you're considering a visit in the winter, it is really cozy inside, but if you go in the spring, summer or fall, you could enjoy the gardens in the back...everything was totally frozen when we went but it looks like it would be gorgeous when plants are in bloom!

Excellent sound proofing ensures you are able to quickly drift off to a quiet night's sleep. My 5 girlfriends and I stayed here the first weekend in April and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Melissa & Anne were delightful to work with in planning our stay and made sure all our needs were addressed. If needed, there is a small grocery (Village Pantry) and unique restaurant (Vino Villa) within a 5 minute walk. Many of my friends and I are looking to book another memorable stay at the Corner on Broadway!

If we had stayed longer- it may have been a bit crammed. Beds were not super comfortable but worked! Walls are very thin- as expected in a bed and breakfast. Breakfast in the morning was wonderful and they were beyond accommodating to our nutritional needs! So thankful for that. They do have a cat in the main house. As someone that is deathly allergic to cats- I wasn't able to go into the main eating area. Luckily, the weather was great! And we were able to sit on our patio where they served us breakfast!

Our stay was delightful and the staff members were very accommodating and friendly. Daily continental breakfast was awesome and the best part each morning, was, meeting and conversing with different people. Shared information and learning is always great. Special shout out to Pam and Yvonne for going above and beyond to ensure that we were ok. A special mention/ thanks to Dewayne, even though he is no longer an innkeeper there. We also liked the ability to get a bus to the transit center and to different areas. If there is a need for accommodation again, we won't hesitate to return to the Stone Soup Inn.

Our wedding at Clayshire Castle was beautiful, but the experience with Douglas left us very…read moreuncomfortable. We rented the castle for our wedding weekend, including overnight accommodations for our family, and while we appreciated the unique setting, he repeatedly crossed boundaries during our stay. Throughout our wedding night, Douglas frequently entered or attempted to enter our rented spaces uninvited, including coming down to our side of the castle and asking us to turn off lights to save electricity. While I can understand wanting to conserve energy, several guests returned to their rooms after leaving lights on and found them off, which was unsettling and felt like someone had been in the room. We paid a significant amount for the venue, and it's hard to imagine that the cost of electricity would come close to what we paid for the event. The situation made us and our guests feel like our privacy wasn't being fully respected during what should have been a private and personal celebration. During the rehearsal and throughout the weekend, Douglas made several comments that felt unnecessary and intrusive. During the rehearsal, he told my husband and I to "act like you like each other" because he felt we weren't standing close enough at the altar, though there were much more appropriate ways to make that suggestion. He also repeatedly remarked on my hair being down, referencing medieval customs. The frequency of these comments over the rehearsal, wedding night, and breakfast the next morning made the interactions uncomfortable. Our parents and other guests also noticed how he spoke differently to the younger adults in our group, often in a condescending tone. During the reception, Douglas and Josephine helped clear plates as guests finished eating, which we appreciated. However, a few guests witnessed Douglas taking a plate of food and a cookie from our catering as he returned to his side of the castle. We weren't upset about it, but it did feel odd since it hadn't been discussed beforehand. The venue itself is stunning, but couples considering booking should be aware that the owners remain very present and involved throughout the event. Sometimes in ways that make it difficult to fully relax and enjoy your celebration.

They showed up while we were packing and we let them know we were leaving a day early. They simply said they were sorry and would give us a 20% discount and that was it. We were very disappointed that we didn't even get an email from any of the owners talking about our experience. Very disappointed and won't be going back

This is a 'mom and pop' business, only two cabins on the property, so you know you are getting good quality. Communication from the start is seamless. There were no hidden fees. We got a full list of EVERYTHING in the cabin, which honestly, we didn't need to bring more than a new pack of clothes and a toothbrush! The cabin was immaculate. The owners apologized for not having as much decorations up during the pandemic to keep it safe, which is cute, but I thought it looked great regardless. We opted in to have a steak dinner for two for $25. It came with two bacon wrapped steaks for us to cook ourselves, corn, potatoes, rolls, fruit, cheesecake & drinks. What a steal!!! The cabins are not super close together so privacy is good. There are some hiking trails nearby. The owners are really intentional with bringing nature to you - they have a salt lick for deer & a bird feeder. Everything is very well-thought out!

It is outside Nashville but not particularly easy to get to, but worth the trip! Actually, not that far from Columbus or Bloomington and a pretty drive.

You don't have to be in a hurry and for most who find their way there, rushing is not what they are doing. Brunch is my favorite but the menu is solid throughout the day. One of the Oldest Restaurants & Inns in Indiana, I do believe. Find it & enjoy!

Jen the proprietor was delightful and joined us for breakfast on our first morning, prepared by her. It was quite a spread. Just let her know what you want the night before and you get it and a whole lot more. We caught a glimpse of Jen's husband but it seems like Jen is the "out front" person. We are going to ride horses later today. We are not familiar with horses and have each only been on a horse once in our lives but we like trying new stuff. Jen has assured us there will be no galloping or cantering and will provide a lesson before we saddle up. It is Early April 12pm around 45 degrees. We moved our ride to 12pm so it would be a bit warmer. My wife rode Domino I rode Hank. We had a lot of fun. We actually trotted for a bit. Jen was great. Our room is cozy but large on the second floor with a constellation on the ceiling. A private bath with double sink. Very nice. If you like cats like we do you will love the place. There are 7 4 inside and 3 outside we met them all. Very friendly. There is one dog also a friendly fellow. The house was immaculate. We took a hot tub on our last evening here and it was very nice. Tomorrow our final breakfast then back on the road A very enjoyable stay. Nancy & Mark.

I had been crying all morning and really was in no shape or mood to go to a store and decided I would see if maybe they had what I needed. They did. Here's where the story gets good. They are a small, cash operation. As I had been living at the hospital for 3 days, I had no cash on me. I tearfully explained the circumstances. The owner handed me my bag of produce and said to just drop it by in a few days. I did. I can't tell you how grateful I was for this gesture of faith and kindness when I, and my family, most needed it.
