We have three boys and had enough room. The cabin is close to stores and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed. We stayed here because it was supposed to be wheelchair accessible due to having no steps. Due to the severe slope of the parking space, I was unable to use my power chair and had to go in on crutches which was not safe. My son who is also in a chair had to be carried in. The sofa bad had not been cleaned, there was trash and food wrappers in it when we opened it. ##### Terry D.

We came up to Franklin to spend the weekend with my two boys that live in Gatlinburg, TN, and the Bear Cabin was excellent. We enjoyed everything the cabin had to offer especially the porch and the fire pit area. The property is also close to many attractions. We spent the day Saturday in Highlands which is only a short distance away. The Cabin was comfortable and roomy for the four of us. We will definitely stay here again. The office staff was friendly and accommodating. ##### David R.
