A More Than Perfect Getaway Retreat!

Date of Stay: 05/11/12 Review Submitted: 05/18/12

I was raised in Franklin. For 38 years it was my home, but 12 yrs. ago I met me man of my dreams and moved to Massachusetts. My daddy, now 89 years old is still in Franklin, as is my oldest son, brothers, sisters, etc. Your cabin afforded me and my husband to leave the city behind us. It offered an idyllic setting for me to reunite with all my family and to experience 6 days of memories, country living, and mountain heritage. I can't thank you enough! Whipoorwills sang lullabyes at night.... the roar of the Little Tennessee River at the foot of the hillside was incredible. Every morning I sat in the dark and waited for the sun to rise over Tellico Gap. The weather was perfect, and experiencing two days of mountain thunderstorms rolling around the hills was exciting and cleansing. The cabin was more than was described; spotless, amply supplied with everything we needed, and surrounded by peace, quiet and nature. We will be back to Bearadise for our next vacation, reuniting with family and the mountains I call home!

The cabin was as if it was built and decorted for me and my husband. It was are 3 year anniversary, we spent 3 nights, in this relaxing cabin. It was very quiet, and the kitchen had everything you could need to make a meal. We starting plan a trip to come back, before we even left. When we come back to Franklin, NC we plan on staying in this cabin. It was very clean, and made us feel at home. Nothing like be out in nature in a wonderful cabin.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was exactly what the web site described. Clean Tidy and Well represented. We explored the area from Franklin to Pigeon Forge - to Ashville back to the Highlands.. Had a great time and have recommended the cabin to our daughter and husband. We will do it again sometime.

Owner response:Thank you so much for your feedback.....We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We enjoyed working with you and are glad you had a good time during your stay with us.

Bearadise is Bearatopia! Ditto on the spotless condition and comfort of the cabin. We couldn't have stayed in a nicer location. Your ring toss provided hours of entertainment and gambling opportunities. We discovered Franklin last summer when our car broke down here and a friendly mechanic got us back on the road. We are happy our car made it back here again. Thanks and hopes and dreams of returning again. STELLAR!

Thanks so much for sharing your cabin with us. It's so beautiful up here even when it rains. We had a great time visiting a lot of the falls. We drove up to Cherokee one afternoon and watched the elk. What a beautiful sight! Everything around here is breathtaking and we've enjoyed it all. The cabin is so cozy and the person who does the cleaning does a very good job. It was spotless! We will certainly be back!

This is a wonderful cabin. It seemed more like home than a rental, with everything you could need including high-end linens and furnishings, an abundance of dishes, flatware and cooking utensils, and outdoor seating to accomodate the largest group. We were pleasantly surprised at how secluded this cabin is...quiet and relaxing with great mountain views. The property was very clean and well maintained, and the owner was very responsive as we booked last-minute. Several nearby attractions to spend your days including Mason's Mine where we found over 40 karats of sapphires. The U-Pick farm down the road is excellent...we enjoyed the veggies very much. Thanks for a wonderful vacation experience...we will certainly be back!!

Mark, Thanks to you for the use of the fantastic cabin. My family and I had such a great time and we had everything that we needed! The mines were fun, but not as fun as walking the multiple creeks and rivers and finding natural beautiful gemstones readily in the waters! Also, thank you for the recommendation to Caffe Rel! Their pan seared scallops were delish! It was a perfect anniversary trip (even with the kids) and it was all because we had a homey place to come home to at the end of the day!

We had a great time! We drove 3 hrs to Grandfather Mt. one day and Deep Creek Tubing another. However, my best day was our last, when we went down the mountain towards Franklin on 28 and off to the right was a tree with two large ropes. A small crowd of families playing in the river., swinging from a tree into the river. The cost was a 1/4 of what we had spent on our 3 hour daily adventure. Thanks so much the cabin was great!

We love your cabin! Better than ever what we expected! Our 7 yr. old didn't want to leave the cabin. We went tubing on Deep Creek, what fun! Went to Mason's Mine and found lots of sapphires,but they were too small to make a ring. But had fun anyway. One Indian Museum was really interesting. We also love the U-Pick veggies and flowers, really great place. This area is so friendly, we hope to be back in the spring. Thanks again for everything, it fit us perfectly and felt right at home. God Bless you guys!

There was a pick your own flowers and produce just down the road- they had everything! The best peaches we every had! Everyone is so nice and friendly too, very refreshing.

We stayed in your beautiful cabin from Jun 30, 10 thru Jul 4, 2010. We loved sitting on that porch, rocking & swinging, with the Mom & Mother-in-law. So relaxing, sitting on the porch drinking our morning coffee and talking. The cabin had everything that we needed and was very clean. Everything was very comfortable, recliners, couch, & beds. Your directions led us right to the cabin. We were in the mountains for the "Inspirations Independence Singing".

Our family very much enjoyed our trip to Franklin and our stay in Another Day in Bearadise. The cabin is perfect for a relaxing trip to the mountains away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist type towns. You are close enough however, to take in some of the attractions. Cherokee, NC was about a 30 minute drive and there we enjoyed trying our hand at trout fishing and some gift shopping in several Indian-owned stores. On over to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, TN we traveled (about 45 minutes on past Cherokee) for Ripley's Aquarium and the Dixie Stampede. We highly reccomend both attractions for family fun. The Dixie Stampede is pricey but well worth every dollar. Our three year old son was amazed and eagerly watched every minute of it. We spent much of our time relaxing around the cabin property and checking out the mountain areas of Franklin and Otto. The cabin was clean and well maintained. We very much liked the fact that the owner has a key box on the porch, so we were able to arrive on our own schedule, rather than trying to meet a deadline to pick up the keys from an agency. The cabin is nicely furnished, and we loved the leather recliners that were recently added - they are very cozy! The wood burning fireplace is a nice touch, and we used the gas grill on the porch for meals at the cabin rather than going into town every time (Franklin is about 15 mintues away). We would definitely reccomend renting this cabin if you are looking for a comfortable, affordable place to stay in the area.

Spent 5 days in October 2009 at Mark's cabin w/ my family. The description does not do this property justice! It was FANTASTIC! The cabin was clean enough to eat off the floors. No bugs, no leaks, & we had the occasional wild turkey wander by. The water pressure was as if you were in the city. The porch / Mexican fireplace / property were all top notch! Mark & Leslie were great to deal with as well! I would DEFIANTLY rent from them again! As far as the local scene - I recommend the Cherokee Mine. We found several gems & it is not a salted mine. If you want good BBQ then you need to eat at the BBQ place in Dillsborogh! It is the kind of BBQ place where the tables & chairs don't match & the food is slow cooked! If you go to the town of Cherokee, I'd recommend buying from the shops owned / operated by the local tribesmen & not the fake gas station like merchandise. There was enough to keep two teenaged boys busy & happy while providing quiet / quality time with your loved one.

This is our 3rd year coming to western North Carolina in the spring, and I have to say this was our best cabin experience to date. The cabin was extremely comfortable with what appear to be all new furniture and appliances etc. You get the feeling that the owner took the time to outfit the cabin like he would his permanent residence, not just a rental property. It was great to come home after a long day to such a peaceful and relaxing place. It would even be a wonderful place simply to stay in and catch up on reading or for a time of reflection. As to the location, Its perfect. I am an avid photographer so access to all the natural beauty the area has to offer is very important. Of course there is Great Smoky National Park, but of equal beauty are some of the surrounding National forests like Nantahala and Pisgah. To the uninformed western North Carolina has one of the highest concentrations of waterfalls in the entire country. If you google North Carolina+Franklin+waterfalls+hiking you will find enough information to last a lifetime of vacations for outside activities. Another Day in Bearadise is in a very central location for all these amazing places. Franklin is also a charming place with plenty of places to eat if the mood strikes you to go out. And lastly if you are coming to Franklin to go gem mining ( my wife is addicted) the mines are all very close. In fact the mine that we have had the best time at ( the people who run it are the most helpful and knowledgeable with all things rock and gem related) is the mine that is closest to the cabin. Mark, the cabins owner is a great guy to do business with as well. Keith and Kathy Aurora Illinois.
