About this property

Dancing Bear: Top rated on 2 Private Creek acres w screened porch, WiFi, Grill

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. Listen to the rushing creek from the large lounging deck or enjoy a warm fire relaxing on the creek side pergola. A dreamy screened in porch combines the best of indoor/outdoor living. 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. Sleep tight in a cozy king size bedroom that opens to the screened in porch, so you can fall asleep to the sound of the creek. Across the hall, is a private guest room with a queen bed. For a lofty experience, discover a cozy king bed and full bathroom upstairs with a gorgeous outside view...this space is kid and adult approved! The 2 full bathrooms are equipped with all the essentials needed for a comfortable stay and stocked with lots of towels. Let your river shoes air dry on the screened in porch, and also enjoy a fully equipped laundry room off the master.

Don't feel like cooking? Franklin is now a foodies' paradise with a vibrant downtown restaurant scene. Look through our welcome book for our recommendations. Recharge outside with the bears and the great outdoors (good luck), or plug in with wi-fi and the smart TVs to enjoy your favorite streaming services.

No visit to Franklin would be complete without visiting the area waterfalls in the NC Mountains. East of Franklin, NC, on US 64 is a deep gorge created by the Cullasaja River. Three major waterfalls grace this route: Bridal Veil Falls, Dry Falls, and Cullasaja Falls. Hit the trails of Wayah Bald, Bartram Trial (located in the neighborhood), Yellow Mountain Tower Trail, Rufus Morgan, Secret Falls, Wesser Bald Fire Tower, Pickens Nose, Laurel Falls Trail and many more. The area boast several options for vineyards, breweries, farms, ziplining, alpine roller coasters, tubing, gem mines, fishing, and amusement parks. Highlands, Nantahala Forest, Dillard and Cashiers are just a scenic drive away. What are you waiting for?

Will stay again!

My family travels to this area every year, but this was our first time staying in this cabin. It will be our go-to location for as long as the owners will share it! It was clean, relaxing, nicely decorated, very comfortable, communication was great and the location was perfect. Don’t hesitate!

Christmas Getaway

This property was great! We travel each year for Christmas and looked into the Franklin, NC area. Found this beautiful cabin that had a creek next to it. Just the sound of the water alone was relaxing enough. The cabin was further off the main road than we thought and cell service was very spotty, but the WIFI in the cabin was great with no issues. A must when you have 2 teenagers. Beds were comfy and host supplied basic amenities that I’ve found other rentals do not. Overall stay was amazing, would highly recommend this cabin if coming into the area.

Ultimate Mountain Getaway

This cabin has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The property owner is very easy to communicate with and got right back with me every time I talked to her. The house is very well maintained, and we really enjoyed having the water flowing right off the huge porch. you don’t have to worry about having a four-wheel-drive because the roads are hard topped all the way to the driveway.

A Magical Creekside Escape in the Mountains

From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the magical mountain landscape that surrounds this property. Nestled in nature, the home offers an immediate sense of calm and rejuvenation—it’s truly the perfect place to unwind and reset.One of the most unique and beautiful features is the creek that runs through the property. The gentle sound of flowing water added such a peaceful ambiance to our stay—it felt like nature’s own soundtrack and made our mornings on the porch absolutely serene.The home itself is beautifully maintained—immaculate, welcoming, and clearly cared for with love. Every detail made us feel at home.The host's communication was outstanding, with quick and thoughtful responses throughout the entire process. Their warmth and professionalism made everything seamless from start to finish.This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a soul-soothing experience we’ll always remember. We can’t wait to come back!

Rainy day Games

A Nice cabin in the woods with a creek right next to it. Town not too far away and pretty easy to get to. Our grandkids drove up to surprise us and we had a great time. It was pouring rain for most of our visit but the creek sounds were music and the fresh air was a nice little break for us. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property.

Awesome Stay at a True Gem of a Mountain Cabin

My husband and I booked Tiffanie’s cabin for the Labor Day weekend. What a find! The idyllic cabin is tucked away in a rhododendron forest beside a babbling brook. It’s beautifully decorated and perfectly appointed. It boasts an amazing screened porch and an expansive deck with multiple seating areas as well as a creekside deck and fire pit. The interior is both comfortable and functional, and gorgeous to boot. It’s a perfect place to get away and relax. We can’t wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Tiffanie Roberts

Host profile image
Friends call me the hostess with the mostest! I'm originally from the Carolinas, and my family settled in Franklin from Scotland. I grew up spending time here year round with my family taking in the fresh air, tubing creeks, and enjoying scenic highways. My family and I are so excited to host in a cabin of our own.

Why they chose this property

The drive in to the property is so beautiful. You pass horse farms, farm land, and you might even see a wedding party along the way. Cloud draped Smoky Mountains, old churches, and feeder creeks will greet you as you meander towards the cabin. We are situated at the end of the road 4 miles off the main highway, so it is very private and peaceful. Our neighborhood is centrally located to all the Western North Carolina attractions.

What makes this property unique

It's magical. We searched for years before finding the Dancing Bear cabin. We love the privacy, fresh air, and sound of the creek rushing by. We can't help but wade or plunge in the cool creek water, and climb on the mossy boulders. The outdoor spaces and screened-in porch are fantastic year round. The privacy, experience of nature, and peacefulness of this place will transport you and your loved ones. Enjoy.
