Enjoy total seclusion away from it all at this log home! An elevated take on the classic mountain lodge, enjoy modern comfort and abundant entertaining space.

The living area features an all-wood interior with wood-beam cathedral ceilings, burnished floors, rustic décor, a TV, and lots of comfortable furniture, all crowned by a majestic, stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace. Downstairs, the game room features air hockey, a pool table, a TV above a stacked-stone fireplace, balcony access, and sleeping accommodations for extra guests.

The well-equipped kitchen has stainless steel appliances, a center prep island, and countertop appliances. Gather for meals at the breakfast bar or the mountain-view dining table. After dinner, step out to the furnished deck and sip a refreshing beverage while enjoying the amazing views.

When it's time to call it for the night, the main bedroom has an en suite bath, a gas log fireplace, deck access, and a hot tub right outside. In the guest bedroom, you'll find a loft area with a full bed and access to a screened porch with a gas grill. Central air-conditioning and ceiling fans will keep everyone comfortable, while the washer/dryer adds convenience.

When you're not out on a fantastic hot-weather hike, kick back in the hot tub or gather around one of the firepits for an evening of quiet stargazing. (There is a gas firepit on the front deck and a wood-burning firepit on the property.)

The trail leads into Nantahala National Forest, and you'll find Burningtown Falls three miles west, where you can see some beautiful natural waterfalls. Smoky Mountain Center for the Performing Arts is 10 miles east, with a 1,500-seat venue for professional theater, dance festivals, concerts, films, and comedies. Get in some fly fishing on the Little Tennessee River and Cullasaja River, or head out for some whitewater rafting and kayaking with a visit to Carolina Outfitters White Water Rafting.

Fantastic getaway cabin!
Two Bears was absolutely beautiful! The home was pristine and had everything we needed. The views were amazing! The driveway is a little intimidating the first time going up, but gets easier each time! (Definitely need 4WD) We will definitely be back!

Beautiful
The cabin was beautiful and view was amazing, but that driveway is yikes! Very steep and curvy even with four wheel drive it’s bad. Unless you have a lot of experience with very steep unpaved roads don’t recommend trying it.

Nice Home but Needs Improvement
We loved this location and the home was nice for the amenities it had to offer. Unfortunately, there was an overwhelming musty, mildew smell immediately upon entering the house. I don't have a very sensitive nose so for me to have noticed is noteworthy. It was clear that this has been an issue for some time since we noticed multiple plug in air fresheners, odor absorbers, and other types of odor reducing things throughout the house. We were unable to stay in a room without the windows and doors open to allow some of the odor to escape but it was still noticeable. We were there for two nights and all of our clothes and suitcases seemed to have picked up the smell so we will need to let those things air out/be cleaned at home. If it weren't for the smell, I think this home has great potential to be a wonderful vacation home. There were several small things that needed attention as well (broken/missing screen doors, broken stove knob, nails/screws exposed in loft area, etc). We did enjoy the hot tub, air hockey, Foosball, pool table, trails, the many places to have a fire, the views, the bear decorations, the TVs, and the layout of the cabin was nice. I think there does need to be more emphasis in the house listing on the fact that 4WD is needed in order to get up the driveway.

Cabin needs a "deep cleaning"
Upon arrival, the cabin appeared clean. We arrived at night. Throughout our stay, I noticed toothpasted above the sink in the Master Bath, food debrie above the kitchen sink, and the area behind the burners on the stove was quite dirty. I am also sad to say that on the last day, I had well over a dozen "bites" on my legs, arms, front and back torso....I think the Master bedroom mattress may have bed bugs. I apologize for the delay in relating this information. I was hoping to avoid putting it on a public site.

Minimal info
The cabin was simply beautiful! The view from the deck, breathtaking! The kitchen was top notch. Unfortunately, there were no instructions to accompany the cabin that had helpful information prior to our stay or upon arrival like we had hoped for. (Example: kitchen had a Keurig and a Lavazza latte maker but there were no pods available to make said coffee or even notice in advance of those options to bring your own.) we had minimal towels (3 dirty ones left from previous) unsure what to do with our trash and the kitchen floor didn’t appear to be swept at all. Overall, our stay was very nice but more information would have been a lot more helpful! The heated floors were a nice surprise as well! The heads up on needing 4wheel drive was greatly appreciated and we even had some challenges in our 4Runner!

Never made it
Can't give a rating since we never made it. Out truck couldn't get up the hill. Responded to a text asking if we made it, saying no truck couldn't make it & didn't hear another word until we got a text asking if we were ready to check out. Wife didn't catch statement on awd/fwd needed. I called VRBO prior to leaving & was told it was just curvy & awd/fwd was not needed. Turns out that was a false statement & a very expensive lesson for us.

Great stay overall
We enjoyed our stay very much overall. The cabin is beautiful and the view is worth every penny. Everyone is talking about the driveway, so I figured I would too. AWD is NOT required. Sure, it is steep, but you can make it. I got up with no problem in a Toyota Avalon FWD. Complaints. If I have to nit-pick on the stay, there were a few items we discovered, and would consider them to be an inconvenience. The wifi is dreadfully slow and pretty much unusable. I measured it as 0.3 Gbps download and 0.00 upload. The gas fireplace in the main bedroom was not working. The air-hockey table in the basement was not working. The bedroom fan lights stopped working, not enough seating inside or outside for a 10-person place, and no full-length mirror for the ladies. We also couldn't start a wood fire easily. There was no provided wood and wood for purchase in the area was scarce. Overall, 4+ stars! The view is worth it all and the cabin was still very cozy.

Best part is the view…
The view is by far the best part of this place. Like others have said, the driveway is a little scary and AWD is a must. We had some cleanliness issues which we didn’t find until later, there were dirty dishes with food in them in the cabinets! The hot tub was dirty, so we had to clean it ourselves. The cabin is nice but it needs a deep cleaning. The beds are super firm memory foam. The cookware was ok but not great. Very low water pressure. We lost power for 6 hours one night due to an outage in the area and the generator at the cabin never came on so we lost most of the food in the refrigerator. We communicated this to the property manager but they never followed up. Overall we enjoyed our stay because of the location and view from the deck. There was lots to do and explore in and around Franklin.

Incredible views
Beautiful rural home with multiple mountainous views. Home has everything you need and more. 4 wheel drive is a must with the driveway, but provides and adventurous ride with tons of wildlife, scenery, and privacy of being removed from life’s hustle. Perfect home for a nice relaxing getaway.

OMG, idk why more people aren’t talking about the heated floors! ❤️ Based on others reviews, the driveway was as expected. So cozy and welcoming inside, really didn’t want to leave to do anything while we were there! We really didn’t have a problem with WiFi like others reported. The kitchen had everything we needed for meals and I really want their fridge and stove/oven!!

Lack of heat
Cabin was great! Only issue is gas was low so we didn’t have heat the first night/ day. Gas fireplace was non functional in the master bedroom. Otherwise stay was excellent! Would recommend a true outdoor fire pit as well. Thanks!

Whoa what a driveway
It was so beautiful, getting the right temperature was a bit tricky. We also believe there may have been a dead rodent in the spare room, could happen anywhere though. Game table didn't work. This cabin was very beautiful with full kitchen. We were so happy to see it decorated beautifully for Christmas also!

It was a great cabin, beautiful scenery, but the road up to the cabin was scary. My two wheel drive Ford F-150 could not make the turn up to the cabin. Four wheel drive is a must.

Beautiful views and awesome home
We enjoyed Franklin and Two Bears immensely. We were only there for one full day but we spent time walking around town, ate some great food, enjoyed the Lazy Hiker Brewery, and enjoyed the property. Definitely try to get there during daylight if you can as it will make everything about the drive up easier.

INCREADIBLE LOCATION AND CONSTRUCTION
Beautiful custom log home wedged into the side of the mountain at the end of a long hairpin uphill climb. A large wood burning fireplace, upscale kitchen, great decks, plenty of living space, and total seclusion makes for a perfectly relaxing time away. The views are long and only dotted with a few other structures. The TV provided plenty of viewing as well. Distance to town and other activities is closer than expected for a place so private. It is a great place to be, assuming nimble all-wheel drive is the choice of transportation.

Away from It All
Two Bears was a wonderful place to sit back and unwind for a week. The views and the hot tub helped to make it a most relaxing getaway. Franklin was just about 15 minutes away for groceries and restaurants. For the most part, everything was serene and restful. A few things you’ll want to consider. You will need four-wheel or all-wheel drive to get up the driveway, which is about a half-mile. The internet was quite slow. You may be able to access email and text, but we could not stream any videos, which also applies to the tv since they use streaming services. Next, the master bedroom did not have a closet or dresser for your clothes. Lastly, be prepared for Yellowjackets outside. We also had some large hornets to invade the house. Don’t let these things deter you if you’re looking to get away from a busy life though. Just take these under consideration.
