Photos and Description of the Franklin vacation cabin rental 3 Bedroom, 2 full bathrooms, sleeps 6-8

Be among the first to stay in the Dancin' Bear Log Cabin! Doors open May 15, 2008. This traditional log cabin is perched upon 13 acres of lovely mountainside property. You will want to spend hours just hiking and exploring this tranquil wooded property. Across the street is a huge U.S. Forestry Service Tract for unlimited adventure. This traditional log cabin was built with hand hewn timbers; which were saw cut only for window and door openings. You have to see this log cabin in person to fully appreciate the old world craftsmanship. The traditional construction includes a stone stacked fireplace and hardwood floors throughout the cabin; updated with a wall mounted LG Flat Screen Television displaying 150 stations and many other modern conveniences. This is truly a 19th Century style Log Cabin; updated with 21st Century technology. We have put a lot of time, thought and energy into making this log cabin the ideal destination for a memorable vacation in the Smokies!

Forty Five minutes away is the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Forty five minutes away is Lake Chatuge or Fontana Lake.

Review Submitted: August 12, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We stayed at Dancin' Bear Cabin in July. The home is brand new and beautifully decorated. The owners have gone to great lengths to make this home a treat for their guests, right down to the fancy soaps in the bathrooms. The kitchen was very well equipped with a large country-style table in the eat-in kitchen. The beds were a dream to sleep in and the beautiful leather furniture in the living room was VERY comfy! One of the best things about this home is it is centrally located and has a nice paved drive that's easily accessible (you don't need 4WD to drive up it). We will definitely be back.
