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!

The kitchen was well stocked. It’s close to amenities but you feel like your remote. I recommend this cabin!

Lovely place, beautiful setting, and wonderful hosts

I have over 3M+ air miles from my business and personal travel all over the world for the last 40+ years. Have experienced the highs/lows of resort, hotel, and residential accommodations (like VRBO) in many wonderful places. But...we found a slice of heaven at the Bear's Den that I am almost afraid to share with others. Gina and Brian are excellent hosts. Their place was immaculate, well appointed, nicely designed for a couple of any age, and the location is breathtaking. Franklin is a short distance away and we visited Highlands within an hour. And if you promise not tell anyone; if you head east on the road that the property sits on, you may experience some of the most fabulous scenery my wife and I have ever seen. Well done, Gina & Brian, well done.

AMAZING!

This cabin was AMAZING! My husband and I loved every detail of it. It has beautiful craftsmanship, well thought-out needs for the traveler, and was in a perfect location for all the outdoor adventures we pursued. The creek provides soothing and relaxing sounds after a long day of outdoor activities. Autumn was just about to fully show-out in this area and we were so glad we got to experience it here. Y’all have a very special place here and we hope to visit again! (P.S. who knew the heater in the bathroom would be such a great touch?! Me!! 😊)
