The Bear's Den

Enjoy a private home while exploring the western North Carolina beauty. For more, read on. Here's a review left by my most recent guests: Five stars. Mary went above and beyond to accommodate The cabin is adorable with lots of nice touches, and the outdoors areas are simply amazing. The closet kitchen is well supplied . We actually cooked all but two meals during our week-long stay. The bed is very comfortable. I highly recommend "The Bear's Den" for your stay in the Franklin, NC area.

Brand new! Walk to restaurants!

We just put the finishing touches on our condo and are happy to welcome guests! This condo is small but mighty. It has a king sized bed, a 55" Samsung TV, a rainfall shower, and a refrigerator with an ice maker. A large built in desk with easily accessible outlets and fast wifi makes working from home simple and easy. The River Run condos are unique..set on a quiet cul de sac, yet just steps from all the restaurants and amenities that Sapphire Valley has to offer. It's the best of both worlds.
