About this property
"Bearly Rustic" - 2 bdrm/2 bath - Off the grid, beautiful scenic
Welcome to Bearly Rustic!
Tucked away in the serene back country of Townsend, Tennessee, Bearly Rustic offers the perfect escape for those looking to unplug and unwind. Whether you’re here for a quiet romantic getaway, a family retreat, or a few days of rejuvenation surrounded by nature, this charming cabin has everything you need.
Peaceful Outdoor Spaces
Start your mornings on the spacious front porch, where four rocking chairs and a porch swing invite you to savor your coffee while listening to the early-morning birds. In the evenings, relax with a glass of wine and watch the day fade into dusk. A screened-in back deck with comfortable furniture provides another private spot to relax and enjoy the surrounding woods. In summer, lush hostas and wildflowers add to the cabin’s natural beauty.
Step into the backyard to enjoy an outdoor fire pit, perfect for roasting marshmallows, stargazing, or sharing stories by the crackling fire. Guests will also find a set of cornhole boards for friendly outdoor competition and fun.
Warm & Inviting Interior
Step inside to an open great room featuring a cozy seating area, a television for movie nights, and a fireplace perfect for chilly evenings. The fully equipped kitchen makes meal prep a breeze—whether you’re whipping up a quick breakfast or a gourmet dinner—with essentials including a Keurig coffee maker.
Comfortable Accommodations
Bearly Rustic’s split floor plan ensures privacy for couples or families traveling together:
Master Bedroom: Queen bed with ensuite bathroom featuring a whirlpool tub and stand-up shower—perfect for a relaxing soak after a day of hiking or exploring.
Second Bedroom: Queen bed, private bathroom (tub/shower) just off the hallway.
Added Convenience
A full-size washer and dryer is available for guest use, so you can pack light and stay fresh throughout your visit.
Why Guests Love Bearly Rustic
**Secluded yet close to Townsend attractions, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and Cades Cove.
**Cozy, home-style amenities with rustic charm.
**Outdoor fire pit and cornhole boards for relaxing and playing together.
**Perfect for unplugging and reconnecting with nature—or each other.
IMPORTANT: Out of respect for the holidays and our employees, we do NOT allow ANY check-ins or outs on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day
NO PETS ALLOWED OF ANY KIND IN THIS CABIN.
Check-In:
*3 pm - there is NO check-in office, you go straight to the cabin
Check-Out:
*10 am - Please follow our checkout guidelines.
Fireplaces:
*On During: October 1st - April 1st
Common Concerns:
*Road Conditions: Some of our cabins are on steep, narrow, curvy, mountain roads. If you are concerned about road conditions to get to a cabin, please feel free to ask us! None of our cabins requires a 4-wheel drive under normal weather conditions, but some do in inclement weather.
*TV & WiFi: We do have TVs and WiFi in most of our cabins. There are times when heavy cloud cover, weather systems, mountains, or trees will cause problems with the signals. We always want our guests to have the comforts they want on vacation, but there are times we cannot control this problem.
*Pests & Wildlife: Here in the Smoky Mountains, we have lots of native bugs and wildlife. All of our cabins are treated for pests, but there are times you will find bugs or even have trouble with bugs. Fall/Winter is ladybug season in the Smokies, and these little buggers are attracted to heat, meaning your cabin and every other one out there that is warm! They will swarm to the cabin, and you'll probably see them alive/dead on windowsills, in vents, etc. Rest assured that your cabin has regular pest control and is professionally cleaned, including bug removal, before and after your stay. However, these bugs come back right away, and unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about them until the season passes. Please never feed, taunt, or approach any wildlife. This is their home, and we are the visitors.
*There are no refunds for storms or power outages. If there is a power outage, there will be no water and potentially no heat. Storms can also make roads impassable, so if a storm is in the forecast during your reservation, come prepared with water and non-perishable food, etc.
