Franklin Terrace

Franklin, North Carolina.

Historic Register, c. 1887, with nostalgic charm and wide porches. All rooms furnished with antiques. Gift shop and antiques for sale. Southern hospitality at its best.

Bed and Breakfast Description

Stepping onto the screened veranda of the Franklin Terrace is a Welsian journey back in time. Although there is only a screen separating you from the hustle and bustle of everyday life in a small town, you will be transported to another era, when Southern hospitality was a lifestyle and the only bustling you would find in the household was the hostess seeing to the comfort of her quests.

After a good night's rest, guests are treated to a breakfast that includes the specialty of the house, which is an English muffin with sausage and cheese plus a poached egg on top of it, if you prefer. Many types of fruit, melons, cereals, fresh baked muffins, and croissants. Home made breads such as Banana Nut, lemon, pumpkin and plenty of home-made jellies and jams and other delicacies. You can greet the morning sun in the beautiful, window-lined dining room, with views of the courtyard flower garden, alive with birds and butterflies, and complete with fountains. If you listen carefully, you can almost hear the swish of crinoline. Come experience it yourself, while the era still lives.

Comfortable, spacious accommodations. Beautiful views. Recently refurbished and new carpets. Wonderful breakfast with homemade breads.

The Terrace offers a casual shopping experience where you can browse through the antiques, crafts, and gifts for sale on the main floor. However, you will also be in walking distance of Franklin's famous gem shops, clothing boutiques, and fine restaurants.
