Great place to stay for a weekend with our BC student. Downstairs area is very spacious, house had everything we could need for a great stay. Well stocked kitchen for cooking, thoughtful details. Communication with owner was great (we locked ourselves out by accident & they were very gracious!). Location is good & street is very quiet. Will definitely return!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Franklin OZ house. It was a perfect place to get away for our Kansas girls weekend trip! The house is beautiful and has so many endearing features. The amenities are perfect and loved spending time looking at all of the collections in the house!

BC football weekend

Was very impressed with our stay. The house was very clean and comfortable. It was close to the college and easy to access. Loved looking at all the Oz memorabilia along with the details in the decorating and old wood trim/baseboards. Wish we had known of this place sooner as this is my sons last year at BC. Thank you for a great stay

Our host was very responsive to questions and requests. When they call this an OZ experience they aren’t kidding! We all enjoyed discovering new OZ items daily! The kitchen was perfect. We only ate breakfast in but filled the fridge with lots of doggie bags and items for a reception at the college. We discovered the downstairs powder room at the end of our trip. The stairs are old and creaky, and it would’ve saved us waking up a baby to go to the bathroom at night… By the way, the baby had just as much fun as us! Lots of toys and a highchair and porta crib were available. The big expensive porch with rocking chairs were used daily. All the furniture was extremely comfortable. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect for our family!

The house was cute, clean and full of interesting memorabilia! Close to town, plenty of bedrooms with comfortable bedding. Lots of space for my 2 young grandsons to play. Owners were quick to help with entry to house and also a television mishap. Only complaint would be lack of water pressure in the showers. We've stayed in a lot of vrbos, but this was my daughter's favorite. I'm sure we'll return soon!! 5 stars!

The Franklin House is a great place to stay. Located close to downtown and has several nice amenities. Even though the house is over 100 years old, several updates were down to the home to make it very cozy. Would recommend the house to anyone.

6 family members stayed here during a weekend visit to Benedictine College. We enjoyed and appreciated the homeowner's homage to a family member who loved the Wizard of Oz and shared her extensive collection with all who stay at their home. We even did the scavenger hunt provided for fun! There was plenty of open space for family to gather and visit comfortably. What a charming and unique rental property.

Some of our family stayed at Oz house while rest stayed at our sons in country. In total there were 26 of us. Wonderful place!!! Loved the theme & the scavenger hunt, our Granddaughter wasn't sure about the Wicked Witch bathroom, but soon she too enjoyed the house. Excellent place to stay.
