I just stayed at the Ashley-Drake for a weekend while visiting family. The Inn was perfect in every way and Kim and her family are lovely hosts. I made my choice based on the other reviews and could not have been happier. This is something to really consider if you are attending the Super Bowl with friends. More

Stayed for two weeks and didn't want to leave. It was a home away from away. The family that the runs the Inn was wonderful. They went above and beyond to take care of me. It's walking distance to charming downtown Franklin, IN, not to mention only 20 minutes from Indianapolis. I hope I get to come back soon. More

This is a charming bed and breakfast located across from Franklin College. The rooms are comfy and the entire house is carefully decorated. It's a real trip into the past. Innkeeper Kim is delightful and she makes terrific breakfasts. The backyard garden is whimsical and it's just steps from a bike and hiking path along the river. More

My husband and I stayed here as a half-way point on our journey from south to north. We were very surprised to find a beautiful setting with gardens and a warm welcome. Kim could not have been more helpful. There were 4th of July fireworks across the street at the college and she provided us with folding chairs so we... More

This is the perfect place if you have business in Franklin, children attending college there, or just want a getaway weekend from nearby Indianapolis. Also, it's right off a bike trail and park. The charming and hospitable owner made us feel welcome and relaxed. Her gardens are lovely. This is a family operation and the couple's delightful children helped serve... More

We recently stayed at the Ashley Drake Inn and would recommend it to any of our friends. From the moment we arrived it felt like a home and not a business. Kim and her son greeted us at the gate and helped with our bags and answered any questions we had. The Inn itself is beautiful. To me growing up... More

My husband and I loved this historic B&B! The rooms were spacious and quiet, and the breakfast was well prepared from scratch with a very broad selection of items to choose from. Kim and her family were very professional and hospitable inn-keepers, and even provided warm cookies and milk in the evening. Although our stay was in the off-season, the... More
