Amazing Creekside Mountain Retreat!!! Hot Tub, 2 Firepits & Starlink WiFi!

The house was clean but some places were not swept like beside the tub but not bad. The ice maker dispenser didn't work and the hot tub foams so bad that we cohosh keep the jets on very long but they did not keep us from having a good time. I did get questioned on if i had pets which i did not and we kept the video on the woke first day we got there so they should have seen we did not have any pets. Other Than that it was a good visit.

This property is adorable. We loved the decor and the grandness of the upstairs area. The river room dining area is amazing. The view and sounds of the river right at your doorstep are peaceful and we enjoyed every minute of it. We enjoyed the hot tub each afternoon. My only wish was that there was more than one shower. Great stay!

This was our second time renting Bears Bliss, and it was just as amazing as the first! This house was perfect for our family with plenty of space and fun for all. This house is actually better than the pictures, and you will love your stay here!

Stunning. So many outdoor areas to enjoy and the most beautiful deck for your deck dinning. No need to be indoors for any reason. Plenty of room for everyone to have some space but yet so many places to gather and while this home has plenty of sleeping areas with two bathrooms, one is with TUB ONLY and no hand held shower option, second bathroom has shower. . The home was advertise as such and the bathroom set up posed no problem for our stay. Parking would be tight for three vehicles.

It was a lovely place to stay

Perfect property for a getaway. The creek is beautiful and the ambiance drags you away from those digital distractions. Time spent on the property was fantastic, whole home is very cozy(heated floors for the win). The scenery to be taken in directly on Wayah Road is seemingly never ending. My only complaints were with mother nature. The water level was down in area during our stay, but was still worth exploring.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home on the creek with our family of 7. We enjoyed nearby hiking during the day and then relaxing and cooking dinners in for the evenings. The hot tub and fire pit are on such a beautiful setting on the river. The house had everything we needed. Property manager was responsive and helped us resolve an issue when it arose. This area of the state is so beautiful!

Amazing! Great location, easy to get to, host was very responsive

The host was excellent. She provided many helpful pieces of information for our stay. The house and location are amazing. I would definitely return to this cabin.

5 stars. We had zero issues. House was extremely clean and taken care of.

Beautiful location! Caught fish and had a blast

The house was very clean and organized with everything we needed. Kathy (the host) was very accommodating and prompt with all responses. We enjoyed staying there so much we’ve already begun looking into their other properties!

Amazing stay, the house and property were top notch. Beautiful well kept home and amenities. From the heated floors and fireplace to the hot tub and outdoor fire pit with a beautiful creek, this place is amazing. I have been traveling to Franklin for years and this is the nicest property I’ve stayed at. Pick this place, you will be glad you did!

The Bear's Bliss was exactly as the listing descrives and more: it really looks like a real life Monet's painting. Our family spent Christmas week making core memories. 4WD truly not needed as stated. The house was very clean, beautifully decorated, and very, very cozzy. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook a full Christmas meal for the 6 of us. We used the gas grille outside (bbq is a must for us!) and also the fire pit for corn cobs, salsage and smore's on sticks. Hottub is big enough for the whole family, but was too cold outside to enjoy it as much as we planned. I can't stop thinking about the view from the master bedroom and bathroom: the mountains! The privacy, the quietness and the dark sky (we miss it so much here in Orlando, FL), with the sound of the creek, gave some of my life's best nights of sleep! Location is perfect: North Georgia's and North Carolina's most beautiful cities only a few minutes away, as well as the attactions and natural beauties. Several supermarkets around. Everything you need and more. Kathy was very accommodating and replied my questions promptly. I'm so grateful: we had the most precious memories in this beautiful cabine in the mountains.

I absolutely love this place. The hot tub is therapeutic grade, and heats up super quick. It's right by the stream, so you have an amazing view, as you soak. Everything was in working order, and exactly as advertised. I will definitely be going back.

We recently stayed at this big cabin and the views are spectacular! There was plenty of room for 4 of us. The creek is lovely and peaceful. Beautiful bonfire pits! The hot tub is nice and in good working order. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of room for cooking. Would gladly stay again!

Beautiful property with everything needed for our stay. Beds were comfy too. The only negative (which wasn’t a big one) is that the lights under the bridge and in the upper fire pit area didn’t work.

We loved the house and creek! Owner was very helpful with all of our needs with immediate response.

My family of 4 had a wonderful 6 night stay. Check in/check out was a breeze. Our kids enjoyed fishing in the creek although they never got a bite. The house was clean. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was great for making meals. I enjoyed my coffee in every seating area each morning. We were close to many fun adventures and always looked forward to a relaxing evening at the house. Kathy was a wonderful host.

This house and property are stunning. We had a wonderful stay. We had a small issue at check in and the owner (and her crew) were quick to resolve it. Great communication with the owner. My family and our friends spent the majority of our stay at the house because there was a lot to do onsite (including reading, cooking, hiking, playing in the creek, fire pit, hot tub, relaxing). However, we did spend a day in downtown Franklin and had fun. I have no doubt that my family and I will return. Thanks, Kathy, for sharing your amazing rental with us!

We had the best trip!!! Beautiful and clean and perfect!!!

Beautiful retreat for our family! The house is huge and very comfortable, and the surroundings are gorgeous. Feels very secluded, but only a short drive to town. Comfortable with our 3 month old, and our 9 year old spent most of her time exploring the creek. We can’t wait to come back. It is a magical place! Kathy was easy to reach.

The house and property was amazing! My family really enjoyed our stay!

Perfect home for a 3 generation stay. The creek was great for the kids to play in and explore. Owner provided tons of information and we loved finding the waterfall and swimming hole within walking distance.

Beautiful property! Pictures dont do it justice. We will be back for sure!

We loved the creek behind the house. There were so many beautiful flowers. (Watch out for bees!) The kids were able to catch salamanders and crawdads. The firepit by the creek is in a perfect location. The smoke even seems to naturally blow away from the hillside, so you can sit by the fire without smoke going in your face. The kitchen provided metal wire marshmallow roasting sticks (very helpful). The hot tub was clean and in great condition. There is a great waterfall hike up the road. Pulling out of the driveway on a blind curve is a bit scary. It's a good idea to pull out forward. The view from the master bedroom is stunning. You can sit on any of the decks to drink coffee during the crisp, cool mornings.

Our family loved this indoor / outdoor stay by the stream in the mountains. We stayed busy with things to do around the property and it was close enough to town in case we needed to leave the private natural setting.

This place was amazing. The creek running through the property is awesome. The bridge ro cross to.the fire pits is what sets this spot in a place of its own. We are already planning another trip. Super large bedrooms and the tub upstairs is great for a relaxing bath.

This cabin is beautiful and offers all the comforts of home with a touch of rustic charm. It is such a special place, and truly felt like a home rather than the commercialized rentals that seem to be flooding the market currently. We stayed in early spring, and the thoughtful, natural landscaping that met us as we pulled into the drive reset my overwhelmed mind. As we walked in the front door, we realized quickly we were in for an amazing stay! The heated floor and cozy area rug of the huge entry way became the perfect spot for rainy day games and Lego sessions for my 3 boys. The kitchen was well-stocked, the gas range is amazing, and there was plenty of storage space as well. I loved how open and spacious it is, walk in closets, high ceilings upstairs; the main bedroom had its own living room! The beds were very comfortable, on the soft side, and had amazing linens. The sound of the creek was our nightly bedtime lullaby, as well as the music of each day. The house sits perfectly beside the creek, with so many seating spots with peaceful views.The hot tub was a highlight for our kids, as well as the magical bridge over the creek; a lovely natural playground. The location is secluded, but with easy access to town as well as hiking. We loved the cozy evenings by the fire, and games around the table in the river room. The host was great and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We can't wait to come back and enjoy this little slice of paradise again!

I had friends from Michigan and Alabama meet up here. The cabin was amazing, so many features that just made our stay top notch. The view in the master was beautiful. Sitting out by the fire pit was very comfortable. The only thing we had a problem with was the driveway because we had 2 F250's, one with a trailer... It was a tight squeeze, but other than that, I would highly recommend

Restful, relaxing, cozy - exactly what we wanted!

We were looking to relax over the holidays, and this was the place for it. The house was roomy and well decorated and had everything we needed. The creek that runs through the property provided white noise that allowed us to sit back and enjoy our time together.

The pictures on vrbo were great but didnt do this place justice, it was even better than it looks online. One of the best properties we have ever stayed at. My wife and I had one of the most relaxing weekends ever.

We’ve stayed in many VRBO places and this is my very favorite. Hated to leave. Loved the creek running right by the house and spent a lot of time enjoying it. Home is beautifully decorated, well stocked, easy to get into Franklin. Didn’t have a chance to use the fire circles as the weather didn’t cooperate on the day we were free. Nice hike at Rufus Morgan trail and gorgeous views at Wayah Bald and tower. Kathy was very responsive to any questions. Hope to return some day

This property is by far my favorite among all rentals I’ve done. The setting could not have been more beautiful. I took along 5 other 67 y/o “girls” who have been friends since jr high & we enjoyed this place so much. The house is perfect w/plenty of room for a big group & pretty much everything you’d need is provided. The icing on the cake is the creek running thru the property which was so lovely & peaceful. The firepit area was used on several nights of our stay & was so much fun. I’d def love to go back to this unbelievably perfect property!
