Our stay was very comfortable. The pictures don't do the inside justice. The covered porch ended up being a huge benefit in the rain. We hit up the grocery store and stayed in all weekend. The hot tub was spotless, warm, easy to use. The location had beautiful views on the drive up and around the property. Very quiet and serene. I would stay here again.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bear's Den, it was very clean and gorgeous property, with very nice hosts. It was a great location for us to stay too since we came up to paddle the Nantahala river. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the Franklin area.

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!

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.

Excellent place for a couples getaway. Very clean and neat place with beautiful scenery. My wife and I have stayed at many cabin rentals but this place is on top of our list now!! Wonderful creek access and a very nice hot tub. Close to hiking and Wayah Bald.

This is an absolutely amazing getaway. This cabin is extremely nice. Great set up and very clean. Far enough out to get away from town. We really enjoyed our stay and will stay again.

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.

We enjoyed a relaxing few days away with our fur baby. The cabin is super nice and we loved sitting on the covered porch and walking down by the creek. The property owners were very friendly and accommodating. Can't wait
until our next visit.

Loved the cozy cottage .It was so nice and clean. Hot tub was awesome for coming back to to relax after a long ride. Perfect location for us. We travel on a motorcycle so it was easy for us to leave out and go to several places that was on our travel list. Will definitely stay again.

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.
