Hubby and I absolutely loved staying at black bear cabin! It was clean, cozy and those views are simply amazing! We appreciated all the little touches that made our stay even more enjoyable. We had no issues getting to the cabin in our extended F10 (NOT an AWD). You just need to take it slow on the turns. It was a rainy weekend and even the wet gravel caused no problem. The turn around in thr driveway is for sure something you will have to do, but we were able to do in the truck in 5 turns. Really not a big deal and only took a couple extra minutes. We most definitely will be back!

Great getaway with a wonderful sunset view. Road access is a little tricky when you meet oncoming traffic, but I guess locals are used to it.

We had a fabulous time in the mountains of Franklin and would absolutely stay here again. The road can feel treacherous for someone not used to it—my husband was comfortable driving it, but I definitely was not. That said, the outdoor space and the spectacular views were completely worth the drive. We were genuinely disappointed to leave and look forward to coming back next year!

It’s exactly as described, will be coming back. Close to town, great view, overall just great. If you’re reading other reviews and worry about the road to the cabin yes it is steep, your front wheel drive car might struggle but it can make it.

The cabin was great however it was not properly cleaned and the dishwasher was broken. I reported it to Vacasa but did not get a response. Overall, I don't think I would choose to stay at another Vacasa property.

Summer Getaway

The cabin is absolutely beautiful. The view is stunning. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The road up is a 1 lane gravel road with lots of sharp turns, however we never had an issue with vehicles coming in the opposite direction. We drove a 2020 mustang and put it in snow/wet for better traction and it was not a problem getting up to the cabin (other than my nervousness lol). We would definitely stay here again. Love the area.

This cabin is close to town but private and quiet. Enjoyed the large deck while grilling and watching the birds, fireflies and even a little bat at night. Wonderful cabin that we loved so much we booked another trip back in March!

Amazing cabin, fantastic deck view, really cool inside

This was a fantastic cabin, can't say enough about how nice it is. Very clean, well equipped, love the layout and furniture and all the attention to detail inside. Amazing view from the deck outside, our family loved hanging out on it in the morning and evening after rafting and hiking. You won't be disappointed!!!

Kevin is perfect they had everything you could possibly need except laundry soap. Mountain going up is very steep and the turnaround is very small but when when you get there. You do need an all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive to get up the worth the drive

Quiet retreat

The cabin was beautiful--inside and out. The location was just what we needed--quiet and peaceful, with a gorgeous view! The only suggestion I have is to put a couple of chaise lounge chairs on the deck for a relaxing view or just to take in the fresh mountain air.

The oven was broken and toaster oven didn’t work, so cooking was slightly problematic. No laundry detergent so couldn’t wash linens. No outside eating area. Mountain view windows were very nasty. That being said, the view was everything it promised in the photos. The cabin had many cute niceties and was decorated well. The toiletries provided were top notch.I’d recommend actual curtains on the window wall to avoid the blinding afternoon sun, more lighting around cooking area, outdoor eating area.The view is stunning and was worth the small I convinces.
