Excellent High-Speed Internet. Comfy King Beds. Loaded Full Kitchen. Living area has 2 plush leather recliners and a beautiful new leather type couch to match. Great spot to relax after some fishing or gem mining. Fish from the back yard. Beautiful River views from every angle. Fire pit for night fires and star watching. Kayaks are available to rent. Wild Bills is in a great location to enjoy Franklin and the surrounding Smoky Mountain Area. Easy access for any vehicle. Cabin has Central Heat and Air/ Ceiling fans throughout. Washer/ Dryer. This cabin is a dream cabin. The location is semi- private, not remote.

Watch the river from the porch!

Very cute and cozy cabin right in the river. The porch, overlooking, the river is fabulous! It’s not “secluded”, as the cabin is just off the road, but when you are on the porch, you don’t even notice the road……. just the beautiful river and mountains.

Had an awesome time in a great place.Everything about the cabin was beautiful only issue it was on a busy highway not as secluded as advertised bring something to drowned out the noise on the good side it’s close to everything you could spend a vacation doing
