BEAR'S DEN CHALET

This is an amazing A-Frame cabin with a great view that has it all. It has a nice patio/deck with a picnic table to enjoy the view. Additionally, there is a deck off the front of the house with rockers to enjoy the view as well. The cabin has hardwoods throughout, but carpeting in the bedrooms, as well as Central Heat/Air. The well-stocked kitchen has a microwave, coffee maker, stove/oven and refrigerator. The inviting Living Room has beautiful vaulted ceiling and a gas fireplace for those cool evenings and a couch that folds out to a Queen-sized bed as well as a great flat screen TV with local channels - streaming only - and DVD player. There are two bedrooms downstairs with queen-sized beds and scaling the spiral staircase to the loft renders a double bed. WIFI Service. The Washer and Dryer are in the basement.
This is a 3BR/2BA with 2 Queen Beds and 1 Double. This chalet has the added benefit of being close to town. Sorry, NO PETS

Charming Cabin
Charming cabin in great location near Franklin and surrounding towns. This cabin has easy access from highway and is only about a mile to the cabin. It is a paved road all the way. There is a moderate incline from the main road, but very easy. The cabin was nicely furnished with everything you need. Loved the gas logs in the fall. Would return.

No Bears at the Bears Den Just a fat groundhog
It has been a pleasure staying in your cabin. We took advantage of all the things you had to offer (the fireplace, the fire pit, the swings, the loft and the balcony) as well as the beautiful crisp cold weather. Loved the view of the sunsets on the porch while having coffee and rocking in the rocking chairs. The cabin itself is wonderfully decorated. We loved all the different bear decorations. Everything was easily accessible and beautiful. Rating would be 10 of 10. We would definitely come back in the future if able and also would recommend to other friends and family. Thanks again for a lovely family vacation from Florida.

Nice smaller mountain Chalet.
Quaint mountain Chalet with lots of outdoor activities in Franklin and nearby in other towns like Sylva, Highlands, Cashiers, Lake Glenville, and Georgia. Loft is cute but hotter temp. Nice Mountain View from the porch. 2 bathrooms are always a bonus feature. I’d return and definitely recommend this cabin.

Fall Trip
The photos of the home were appealing but once we arrived, there were several things that stood out that were disappointing. First, there was not enough storage for clothes. I ended up keeping my clothes in my suitcase which was more like a hotel vibe. My husband had some shirts that he hung on a door knob on the second closet which had a lot of misc. items. I was unsure if master bathroom had been cleaned as there was a wash cloth in the shower and the bath rug was stained with what looked to be food droppings. The main carpet in both bedrooms was very stained and disappointing. Dead flowers were in a vase on the front patio table and a rope was sitting in one of the chairs. There was not enough light to navigate the steps which is dangerous at night. The solar lights outside beside the steps were not functional. Maybe no one reported until now so I do not know for certain. The fireplace was nice and the shower head was amazing! We really enjoyed the water from the faucet as it had a nice refreshing taste. There were plenty of dishes and utensils. We did not cook much but there was not much storage space for groceries if you were to purchase food. I would prefer more storage over a wine bar. We had to put a stool beside the garbage can to block the path and to prevent from hitting our heads on the spiral staircase. The furniture in the Living room was not comfy for tall people. Never used the table as I prefer to have a chair and not a stool. The driveway has a lot of hidden spots that you are unable to see traffic and several curvy areas. No garbage pickup at all, so you have to get rid of your trash yourself. We were out late one evening and came back to find the gate locked with a metal sign for no trespassing. Made me wonder who did that and if they had been in the house. As far as proximity to the places we wanted to go, we had no issues with the location at all and found it convenient but would not rent again due to personal preferences. This is nothing against the owners, but just stating my preferences and comparing it to other places I have rented in the past.

Delightful Visit
A perfect, homey cabin for our getaway. Franklin is so much fun without being over developed or a tourist trap like so much of the surrounding area.

Visit with daughter
My youngest daughter is a traveling nurse and my oldest daughter and her two daughters and I came up to visit for a few nights before Thanksgiving. This was my first VRBO experience. The property manager was very accommodating. The property was lovely. All the little decorations were very welcoming and warm. We really appreciated the kid friendly amenities (games,, swing, etc) we’re an extra touch. The appliances are new, in great working order, and the water pressure was great. This is a very quaint and lovely home to rent. You will NOT be disappointed.

Cabin had everything we needed for an enjoyable trip. Especially enjoyed the gas fireplace on the cool evenings. An outdoor grill of some sort would have been a nice addition.

Wonderful Gem of a cabin
What a wonderful getaway! This cabin is a great place to stay. You can easily access other towns (Waynesville, Sylva, Asheville, Bryson City). It has everything you need for a great family mountain vacation. The beds are very comfortable and the cabin is fully stocked for anything you need including the kitchen. The television has Netflix and other streaming services attached for viewing pleasure. They also offer wifi for any electronics. Everyone in my family loved this cabin, including the teenagers. The view is amazing. I would definitely recommend anyone to rent this cabin for a stay.
