Don't miss out on this dream of a vacation cabin!! Enjoy the seclusion of a creekside mountain retreat in this 2 bedroom, 2 bath cabin with private hot tub.
The property borders the beautiful Nantahala National Forest of the Great Smoky Mountains and offers an abundance of exploration. Let the sounds of the rushing waters soothe your soul day and night. Walk across our bridge to enjoy bonfires or even pitch a tent for the night on our property across the river which is lit by festive cafe lights strung around the campfire. Hike through the Nantahala National Forest right out the backdoor. Or if you prefer the creature comforts, enjoy the fully equipped kitchen, comfortable new beds (King and Queen), new gas logs in our stone fireplace, Wi-Fi, large flat screen TV in the den and another in the King Bedroom with Dish Programming. Read a book or just gaze at the river from the sunroom/sleep porch with its comfortable oversized chairs and sofa which opens into a queen sleeper sofa. Enjoy family dining at the large dining table beautifully made of reclaimed barnwood.

Conveniently located on the Wayah Road section of Mountain Waters Scenic Byway, a paved road, the home is easily accessible even during inclement weather. We're just far enough out of downtown Franklin (8 miles) to be secluded yet we're directly on the way to Wayah Bald, Nantahala Outdoor Center, Lake Nantahala and The Appalachian Trail. Franklin/Macon County has 16 local water falls, world renown gem mining, and numerous biking and hiking trails including the Appalachian Trail and Bartram Trail. Grocery shopping and restaurants are less than 10 minutes away. A quick 15 minutes to downtown Franklin you'll find antique shops, local crafts, restaurants, entertainment and two locally owned Micro Brewery Pubs. Adventures are abundant in every direction - or you may choose to never leave once you've arrived!

2nd Stay-Perfect Again
Stayed at the cabin for a girl's trip last summer and it was amazing. I had been hatching a plan to come back with my husband and daughter (19yrs) since then. Now they understand why I wanted to bring them here. The cabin is cozy and comfortable. The hot tub overlooking the creek is relaxing. The location of the cabin is perfect, as well. Just a few minutes into the adorable town of Franklin with many shops and restaurants. The Scottish Tartan museum was interesting. Lovely hikes nearby. I can't wait to come back and stay again soon.

A good stay
The description of property is 100% accurate as are comments made by others who have stayed here. This home has beautiful flowers growing all around the property which adds a beautiful touch. The outside is as good as the inside. VERY clean, cozy and quiet. The electricity went off for seconds the night before we left. It shut off the WIFI and DISH TV. We couldn't figure out how to reset systems. Maybe instructions to do so would be helpful for future guests. We stayed 7 nights and had the best time at the house and in the Franklin area.

Great place for a quick getaway
The house had everything we needed for a relaxing two night getaway, and the hot tub next to the creek was delightful. The house is much closer to the road than the photos make it seem, and although there is not much traffic, headlights shine into the 2nd bedroom whenever a car does come by.

Nice mountain retreat
We had a nice time at the house. It is close to the road and can be a little loud when motorcycles drive by. The Internet went down the first day and the landline did not work so we had no way to make phone calls and did not have Wi-Fi the first night, which was distressing for my wife. This was handled the next day when the host told me how to reset the internet. There are quite a lot of rules as to clean up, driving the trash to the local dump and basically cleaning up the entire house prior to leaving. Next time we may consider staying in a hotel so that we can enjoy the relaxation part a little bit more. But overall, it is inexpensive and a nice getaway.

Relaxing getaway
Bearly there was a perfect place for us to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. It was close enough to town that we weren't stuck in a car all day, yet far enough out there to feel a sense of peace. The house was perfect for us. I suggest bringing a large sheet or blanket to throw out in the yard to just lay on and take a nap next to the stream. It was so relaxing it felt almost illegal. One thing I would note is that even though the road is not super busy, it was a bit tough to pull out of, you cant see cars coming from either direction, I did see a mirror on the trees across the way that helped a bit, but seemed to be for the opposite direction. We backed into the driveway and it was awful, but still a bit scary. All in all, an amazing property hosted by great people. We will be back and noted Kathy's other properties which we will also likely check out.

What a gem this mountain getaway turned out to be. Autumn was the perfect time for visiting the cabin. The bridge crossing the creek and the firepit area are stellar. Stayed up late into the night star gazing with lucky clear nights and no moon. Did the local hikes and a day trip to Wayah Bald which did not dissapoint. Kathy has done a super job with accomodations and the layout of the grounds.

Perfect location for hiking in the mountains.
This was a beautiful property, very private and serene with the lovely sound of the creek flowing along the property. There was easy access to hiking trails and local shopping as well as dining. The property was incredibly clean when we arrived. Check in and out instructions were easy and the host was very responsive when we encountered one minor issue. We would definitely stay here again next time we are in the area.

Nice Getaway for Milestone Birthday Celebration
My wife and I stayed at Bearly There cabin for a week to celebrate our birthdays in late September. We chose the property for its level of privacy, the Wayah Creek that runs through the backyard, the hot tub, and the fire pit. These amenities did not disappoint! The property offered us a very comfortable getaway away from the pressures and stress of our day-to-day living. The pictures in the listing are 100% accurate for what you can expect at the property and the interior of the house was very comfortable as well. If I had any complaints about the property they would be the fact that the level of privacy advertised is not quite what was actually expected. After reading the description, we expected the house to be fairly "remote." In fact, there are neighbors next door, and less than 150 yards away, as well as across the street. Unfortunately, the neighbors next door have an unobstructed view of the hot tub from their patio. That definitely detracts from the sense of privacy, regardless of whether or not the neighbors are actually home or not. My other complaint was with the wifi. For whatever reason, the wifi signal was weak and faded in and out during out stay. This caused wifi-based phone calls to drop and made streaming video impossible. By far, my biggest complaint of our stay was the yappy dogs at the house across the street. All-in-all, our stay was relaxing and comfortable and I would consider going back to the Bearly There cabin again in the future.
