Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Franklin County

Any time I am in town for an event at Purina Farms, this is my first choice. Perfect for relaxing after a long day, close to The Hawthorne Inn if we want a nice meal, very responsive hosts, comfortable beds.

The house was as described and the perfect place to stay with our crew of 7 adults and 10 kids. The kids enjoyed the outside space and exploring the different bunk rooms.

We really enjoyed staying at Keli’s place. Her home is very clean and comfortable. I was able to work away from home without any distraction and easy to focus. The home and neighborhood is peaceful. Upstairs neighbor when home does have a heavy foot. Thanks Keli for the nice stay.

It was perfect! Everything we needed, even extras like dog show fans and wine in the fridge were there. It has a great yard for the dogs too. There are dog bowls and dog decor which I loved, the owner even brought a large kennel just the right size for my Berner and set it up for us! When I dropped a Diamond earring into the sink the owners came immediately to unscrew the pipes and we found it. If you’re going to a show it’s only 7 minutes from the Purina Event Center. I couldn’t imagine a better place to stay at a dog show. If you just want to get away, it’s a beautiful country setting with a big tub and such comfortable beds that you feel pampered and right at home. Jeanette is an exceptional host and it’s a wonderful place. Don’t miss the Hawthorne Inn for dinner, or the big herd of deer grazing across the road in the afternoons.

Linda was great. Very responsive and easy to work with. We absolutely loved the house and have plans to come back next year.

The house was very comfortable and well equipped. We were there for Christmas and the house had been very tastefully decorated throughout which made it extra special for us as we were visiting family locally.

What a wonderful stay! We were met at the beginning of the long gravel driveway and guided to the house. The house was perfect for our group of seven. The absolutely beautiful and peaceful surroundings were highlighted by deer, turkeys and the cows and chickens on the property. Our host, Sam, gave us a tour of the house and gave us local restaurant and winery recommendations. I'm sure we'll be repeat customers.

My family and I rented the arcade house for a month and it was great! Everything was nice and clean when we arrived. The kitchen was set up and stocked with all the necessary supplies for cooking for the whole family. The kids loved all the arcade games. Marvin and Tamara were very friendly and attentive hosts. Would definitely stay again!

This was a cute little two bedroom apartment in a old, but renovated building. We were there around Halloween and the bars within throwing distance were loud at night, but they were having holiday events so there was a crowd. We walked to one of the restaurants nearby and had dinner one night. The kitchen and bathrooms are beautiful and the rest of the space was clean and comfortable.

absolutely beautiful , we felt at home , it was cozy and quiet

Perfectly located near nice restaurants and a historic walk!

Perfect place to stay at if your near the area! Very clean, very spacious and near all the local activities in the area!

Our stay at the Berger Guesthouse was so lovely! Richard was so friendly as were the animals we encountered. The bed was so comfy and the views were fantastic. We will be back!

Perfect stay at Tony's place for our biking the Katy Trial to Augusta/Defiance winery/brewery day! Tony had a fire going and everything ready upon arrival. He went above and beyond leaving us fresh tomatoes, basil, honeycomb, candy, wine, etc. Tony is super responsive via text messaging, and there was not a single detail missed! The beds were comfortable, the house had everything we needed, and we thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay. Best airbnb host we have ever had!

Great place to stay. Upgrades were well done.
