The award-winning Victorian Franklin Street Inn presents its cousin, The Franklin on Durkee, an Appleton, Wisconsin bed and breakfast.

Elegance is expressed in every detail as you step back to 1894 and the grace of the Victorian Age. This Queen Anne is back in fabulous form after a head-to-toe restoration. They don’t make ‘em like they used to, ha. The newly remodeled Appleton, WI bed and breakfast awaits your visit. “Pampering and style” affected each decision as the theme suites and rooms were created. Ron Halma, innkeeper, steps away from the Franklin Street Inn and takes his experience with him. You will benefit from his five years of innkeeping as he hosts you at this inn.

May your stay be “as good as gold” as you enter the warm golden foyer and halls or linger in the cozy “Fox Room”. View some history from the Fox Valley on display in this room. Let us serve as your concierge as you plan your itinerary, deciding what activities and attractions will help make your stay memorable.

The key to a great Wisconsin getaway is going through the door at the Franklin Inn on Durkee.

Note: that is your assurance of a warm welcome because the symbol of a pineapple represents the hospitality that we offer to our guests. Guests staying in the suites have a complimentary breakfast room service option.
