Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. Come and enjoy trout fishing on 1000 feet of our private, stocked, creek. This is a very popular area for vacationing because of the trout fishing, kayaking, gem mining, whitewater rafting, and hiking. There are many vacation homes along Wayah Creek, and along this road. The "Bear's Den" is a one bedroom, rustic, unique and cozy cabin, located in the Great Smokey Mountains of North Carolina. Surrounded by the beautiful mountains, it is the perfect getaway for couples or singles looking to relax, escape city life and unwind. The inside is rustic with barn wood accents, including barn wood window shutters, and a beautiful, hand crafted grey and brown barn wood queen size bed, a pebble stone tiled floor in the bathroom with glass shower doors, and plush bathroom towels. Relaxing in the hot tub is the perfect way to end a long day of sightseeing, which is complete with lights and a waterfall feature. Take a short walk to the creek for a dip in the cool mountain water, and make sure to bring your fishing poles! You might get lucky and catch a rainbow or brown trout. The creek is shared with the owners, but our guests are welcome to relax and enjoy the property as well. Our property has easy access all year long with a flat driveway.
The Appalachian Trail is about 15 minutes away. The property is 12 minutes to downtown Franklin. Our beautiful town is an “Appalachian Trail Community” and attracts many hikers and people just wanting to see our exquisite waterfalls, mountain lakes and majestic mountains.
