We also live 4 miles from the Erie to Pittsburgh bike trail, (which is along the Allegheny River), Franklin and The Barrow Theatre. Search it for shows, dates and times. In the space, you'll find: a queen bed, a trundle = two single beds, a futon, a desk and a high table with seating for 4. Sheets, toweling and pillows are provided. There are steps up to the room. Cat, chickens, and horses, also on the property.

Settle down for the short or long term, in the "Bunk House". You'll have a separate entrance on the back deck, a private room and bathroom. To make your stay even more enjoyable, take advantage of the pool and deck (season permitting), pond, fire pit, and sauna (up-charge). There will be water in the fridge (enough for one bottle /person). When you arrive we will have the Wi Fi password for you. Cell phone service may be limited or not accessible on parts of the road to our home.

Other things to note
1. We have a zip line, over the pond, and horses. We ask guests to refrain from both.

2. TV is available (we use Fubo) and you’ll need to have WiFi calling to make calls from your cell.

3. Events: Applefest (very crowded) has food and crafts and is the first full weekend in October. Light Up Night is the Saturday before Thanksgiving, with a parade and fireworks. Franklin On Ice is the beginning of February and has ice sculptures and a chili cook off.

4. For more Franklin events, search our Chamber of Commerce site.

6. We do have a large dog. If you’re not a dog lover, we’ll keep him in as much as possible. His name is Major.

My work: Retired
Most useless skill: Relaxing
I'm an in my 60s Mom and Grandma. My husband is retired and our children have all moved. Jerry and I love Jesus and our ultimate goal is to serve Him through travel. We usually travel by car and like the outdoors. I'm an avid reader; he is a worker. We both like to investigate eateries and like getting to know new people. My life's motto...Phillipians 4:13; I can do ALL things, through Christ who strengthens me.
