"We always feel special when we come to Appleton to visit our daughter, son-in-law, and especially our little granddaughter. Judy & Ron make us feel right at home. Judy’s breakfast can’t be matched anywhere - something different and delicious everyday. We have stayed at the Franklin Inn on Durkee many times. You can be sure we will be back many more times. Thank you Judy for your hospitality as always. We’ll see you in September on our next trip here."
