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.

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.
