Beautiful view!
Very clean and furnished with EVERYTHING you might need. Single lane road proved challenging on one occasion when we came head to head with 2 other vehicles and a ditch on each side. Driveway near by enabled us to pull over a little…but not too far as backing down the driveway would be difficult. Driveway to our house was steep but much better. Good shopping and eating in town plus easy drive to Waynesville and Cherokee.

The cabin is just as listed, perfectly close to town yet secluded! We enjoyed everything about the cabin and would definitely book again.

Perfect mountain vacation.
The property is even better than the pictures. Perfect for families. Close to town, but still so peaceful. The home had everything you need, and then some. They provide more than most of the cabins I stayed in. It’s very clean. The view is beautiful. I tried to book for Thanksgiving and the same week after Christmas, but it’s already booked. As far as the other comments, the garbage is very easy to dispose of - drive through j&b, a few minutes from the house, and throw everything in the dumpster. The little potato bugs are harmless and part of being in the mountains. The master beds mattress is very soft. My husband prefers a more firm mattress, but everyone has their preference. I would definitely return.

Relaxing getaway
We had an amazing time during our stay. We came from Florida and were excited about the weather change. The house was perfect and had everything we needed. Franklin has a few good restaurants, we really liked Bent Willow Bakery and caffe Rel. Went to the Highlands for the waterfalls (beautiful!), but the road is no joke! Loved sitting on the porch watching the birds. Can't wait to visit again!

Love this house.
This is the 2nd time we've stayed here. We came back because the location is close to town while still being in a woody private area. A nice mountain view off the porch. Having two recliners means nobody stuck on the sofa.

Beautiful Mountain View
We had a great stay at The Bear Den. The view was amazing and the home was cozy. Location was perfect to see Highlands and Franklin with food options close by. It has everything needed to cook meals if you prefer cooking rather than eating out with updated appliances, pots and pans, and an abundance of silverware. It was a wonderful weekend get away from the torrid Florida heat and will stay here again if we are in the area again.
