Franklin Cabin w/ Creek Access: Hike & Fish!
Elk Sightings | Covered Deck w/ Dining Area | 12 Mi to Town | 30 Mi to Appalachian Trail
Pack up your outdoor gear and head to 'The Bears Den,' a 1-bed, 1-bath vacation rental log cabin in Franklin! With easy access to hiking, whitewater rafting, fishing, gem mining, and so much more, there's no shortage of ways to enjoy this getaway. When you're not listening to the tranquil creek sounds on the deck, take a road trip to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, just over an hour and a half away.
