Two Bears - Franklin, NC

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.
