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.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Tiffanie Roberts

Friends call me the hostess with the mostest! I'm originally from the Carolinas, and my family settled in Franklin from Scotland. I grew up spending time here year round with my family taking in the fresh air, tubing creeks, and enjoying scenic highways. My family and I are so excited to host in a cabin of our own.
Why they chose this property
The drive in to the property is so beautiful. You pass horse farms, farm land, and you might even see a wedding party along the way. Cloud draped Smoky Mountains, old churches, and feeder creeks will greet you as you meander towards the cabin. We are situated at the end of the road 4 miles off the main highway, so it is very private and peaceful. Our neighborhood is centrally located to all the Western North Carolina attractions.
What makes this property unique
It's magical. We searched for years before finding the Dancing Bear cabin. We love the privacy, fresh air, and sound of the creek rushing by. We can't help but wade or plunge in the cool creek water, and climb on the mossy boulders. The outdoor spaces and screened-in porch are fantastic year round. The privacy, experience of nature, and peacefulness of this place will transport you and your loved ones. Enjoy.
