Mountain View Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely small house in the mountains, on top of a hill. We came to stargaze (Perseid meteor shower) and once the constellation rotated above the treeline, we were not disappointed.We were looking up in the dark, and it wasn't really 'til checkout that I noticed the great daytime mountain view from the front porch. Wonderful!Nicely-equipped kitchen, modern appliances. There was an air fryer when we came; didn't see that pictured.Starlink Internet was fine. Attended a Zoom club meeting while there: no trouble. Cell service is not great, neither is GPS quality (in a valley on the way): Recommend you print the last leg of your driving map to make sure you have it. WiFi calling let our phones connect once we were at the property.Know that there's a very long gravel drive, and it goes uphill. Consider whether your vehicle will manage it (my 2WD Tacoma did fine. Wouldn't bring a Lowrider or a Ferrari.).Our host was kind, rapidly responsive, right on top of everything. Great stay, fantastic getaway from the city."

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

10/10 Excellent

"This property was PERFECT for our vacation for our family of 5 with room to probably have 8 more!! The cabin exceeded the description and was even better than the pictures described. The creek was the perfect size, and we loved hearing the water. The fire pit area was so cozy. We stayed out there until really late one night and could see a zillion stars. The hot tub was a lot bigger than expected and was the perfect way to end each day of rafting, kayaking, hiking, and zip lining. Then the beds were SO COMFORTABLE that we were rested and ready to go again the next day. We all loved Bear's Bliss!!"

"Great older home, worked well for our family gathering! Lots of open space for the kids and the dogs loved it as well. David is an outstanding host that tries to ensure any issues are taken care of promptly. Works well for handicapped travelers as well, my elderly dad enjoyed the place and could get around pretty well despite his struggles with ambulation. Fair pricing, and nice central location to Franklin if you have an event in town. Thanks David!"
