Dancing Bear: Top rated on 2 Private Creek acres w screened porch, WiFi, Grill

This is it! Top rated cozy creek side cabin on 2 private acres with a large screened in porch nestled into White Rock Mountain just 15 minutes from downtown Franklin, NC. Listen to the rushing creek from the large lounging deck or enjoy a warm fire relaxing on the creek side pergola. A dreamy screened in porch combines the best of indoor/outdoor living. Inside, enjoy a cathedral ceiling with an open floorplan. We love food and we love to cook, so we made sure you have a well stocked chef's kitchen with a gas range and outdoor grill. Enjoy a Nespresso maker, French press or classic drip coffee makers, and an assortment of teas and kettle. Sleep tight in a cozy king size bedroom that opens to the screened in porch, so you can fall asleep to the sound of the creek. Across the hall, is a private guest room with a queen bed. For a lofty experience, discover a cozy king bed and full bathroom upstairs with a gorgeous outside view...this space is kid and adult approved! The 2 full bathrooms are equipped with all the essentials needed for a comfortable stay and stocked with lots of towels. Let your river shoes air dry on the screened in porch, and also enjoy a fully equipped laundry room off the master.

Don't feel like cooking? Franklin is now a foodies' paradise with a vibrant downtown restaurant scene. Look through our welcome book for our recommendations. Recharge outside with the bears and the great outdoors (good luck), or plug in with wi-fi and two smart TVs to enjoy your favorite streaming services.

No visit to Franklin would be complete without visiting the area waterfalls in the NC Mountains. East of Franklin, NC, on US 64 is a deep gorge created by the Cullasaja River. Three major waterfalls grace this route: Bridal Veil Falls, Dry Falls, and Cullasaja Falls. Hit the trails of Wayah Bald, Bartram Trial (located in the neighborhood), Yellow Mountain Tower Trail, Rufus Morgan, Secret Falls, Wesser Bald Fire Tower, Pickens Nose, Laurel Falls Trail and many more. The area boast several options for vineyards, breweries, farms, ziplining, alpine roller coasters, tubing, gem mines, fishing, and amusement parks. Highlands, Nantahala Forest, Dillard and Cashiers are just a scenic drive away. What are you waiting for?
