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.

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.

Summary: My niece and I had a wonderful week at Dancing Bear. After unloading all our stuff and groceries, we discovered a major problem (no water). After trying several fixes, Tiffanie arranged for us to stay the night at a nice B& B in Franklin. After a good night sleep and a good breakfast we headed to Dillard. By the time we finished lunch, Tiffanie called and said the problem was fixed (it was the pump). So we returned to the cabin. It was just as described. Spacious but cozy. Beautiful views in all directions. Very comfortable beds and furniture. Everything we needed was provided. The cabin is very private and quiet. The creek is very close and is delightful. We spent one day just chilling at the cabin. Enjoyed the shops in Clayton, Franklin, and Highlands. We recommend Wild Thyme Gourmet in Highlands and Wolf Creek BBQ in Clarksville for lunch. If you like handmade pottery don’t miss Mark of the Potter on the Soque River just north of Clarksville. It’s a beautiful place. We would definitely recommend Dancing Bear and would love to return. And if you have any problems (stuff happens) Tiffanie will be there for you.
