To ensure the best experience, please review our detailed listing before booking to make sure our space is a good fit for you. Our goal is to provide guests a comfortable space that meets expectations with zero problems.
Our space isn’t the Ritz Carlton and Franklinton isn’t as fun as South Beach — but don’t sleep on us.
Franklinton is where the Washington Parish Free Fair brings families together, the Bogue Chitto River stays cool, and somebody always knows how to boil crawfish and cook gumbo just right!
Here, you're covered with good manners, little comforts, and a stay that feels like home and—most importantly—not at your in-laws' house!
The backyard gives off tranquil vibes, it’s its own little peaceful hide-a-away—complete with a bubbling hot tub, fire pit, chirping birds, kids play area, and a BBQ grill ready for good food and chill laxin'.
Keep in mind, this is a country town and you may run into a few insects while outside! Consider them part of the local charm. Think of them as nature’s way of saying, “Hey Ya'll!! Welcome to the Fair City!”
Oh, and all the amenities are included—no surprise fees for breathing the air or using the Wi-Fi.

****NEIGHBORHOOD VIBES****: As you head to the best kept secret, you’ll pass a mix of homes — some full of retro 50s–70s charm, others just waiting for their big break for a makeover on reality TV Show - This Old House. :) Nevertheless — our spot is exactly as pictured: bright, clean, and thoughtfully designed for a warm, welcoming stay. You’ll see traffic cruise by, neighbors walking, and kids zipping around on bikes. Things usually wind down when the streetlight pops on, and the whole neighborhood settles into a laid-back, mellow rhythm
