If you like The Rustic cabin you'll love this place to stay the only problem we had is if you are a larger person extra large or larger you won't be able to sit on the toilet the toilet sits right up to the tub you won't be able to put your legs in front of you that was the only problem

Outstanding host! Glory days is truly a little slice of historic heaven. Cozy, private cabin with all the necessities. I can’t stress enough how great the hosts and their company are. They have your best interests at heart and are available when needed. We enjoyed toasty fires in the fire pit, fishing and local gem mines the most.

Went there for our honeymoon ! The place was very cozy & just perfect for what we wanted. Fairly private, right on the river, beautiful scenery & we caught a fish !! Stairs going to the bedroom are a bit tricky but blend perfectly with the cabin. Cabin was spotless and had everything we needed. We will return !!! *****

We had a lovely stay. Loved sitting on the porch swing listening to the river. Bed was comfortable. Kitchen was equipped for cooking small meals. The bedroom and bathroom can be a bit of a challenge for the big and tall guest. Not extremely quiet and secluded. Once you figure out how to recline the couch its more comfortable (handle inside the left and right side cushions). Enjoyed ourselves and would stay again.

Glory Days is a great place for a get away. Belinda was wonderful and very helpful. Loved the rustic cabin from the 1800's. We relaxed, enjoyed the river, the fire pit, and the small town of Franklin. We will definitely be back!

Great place with beautiful river view. Best for a couple though as it is rather small. Would work if smaller kids - perhaps ~7 or younger.
