Lovely little cabin by the creek.
The place was lovely and spotless. Had everything we needed. Even a stepstool. As someone who is under 5 feet tall i really appreciate when a rental has a step stool. (I actually travel with my own). Beds and shelves have gotten taller comfy bed without a stepstool.

Quiet get away for husband and I for husband's birthday.
The property was beautiful and cozy with plenty of relaxation. The fire pit and hot tub were perfect for an evening after hiking near by.

Weekend away at the bears den
My husband and I had a very relaxing stay at the bears den. Everything was clean and very cozy! Loved the hot tub! It wasn’t quite as isolated as it seemed in the pictures but it was still very nice!

Wonderful little charm!
The Bear's Den is even more beautiful and comfy than pictures show. It was peaceful and just what my husband and I needed on a get away trip! There is plenty of nearby hiking, history, great food, and activities. Not to mention just a hop away from Bryson City and the Nantahala River.

Great Place to Stay!
The house and property were comfortable, well maintained, met all of our expectations and needs. We loved to close proximity to trail systems and the town of Franklin which has plenty and restaurants and shops to fulfill your needs. I would definitely stay at this property again. If you are looking for a great place for a great price, I recommend you book this place.

Franklin NC Getaway
We enjoyed our stay at this location. The property was very modern and functional. This is a great base location for the Franklin area as it is close to town but you still get the away from it all feel with the property in a nice quiet area. Another plus was the proximity to the Wayah Bald Tower which offers amazing views.

Location was great, not too far out from surrounding things to do. The property was very well maintained and clean. The screened in porch and hot tub was definitely a bonus. Would recommend to anybody.
