You have been DREAMING about this for a long time... Imagine... relaxing at THE TOP of the Mountain in a NC National Forest.
Sitting on any one of the 4 spacious decks of a Luxurious Timber Frame Cabin, with a cool beverage of your choice and your loved one at your side.
No longer imagining overlooking a 50 mile Mountain Range view of twinkling lights on the nearby majestic Blue Smokey Mountains - a view not seen like this anywhere else in Franklin!!! Crisp cool clear mountain air, beautiful sunsets and blue smokey skies. Some of the most scenic sunsets and smokey/blue ridge mountain views ever seen.
Romantic, Secluded, Picturesque. Travel back in time through the scenic mountain roads to the Mtn. home of your dreams. All the rustic touches and comfortable.
Enjoy the sound of the clear, cool, babbling creek nearby that soothes your soul and rests your mind.
Smell the fresh coffee in the morning with the crisp mountain air.
Gaze at the many colors of the hardwood forest of oaks, pine, Poplar, Beech, mahogany and Evergreens as they change by the season.
Listen to the wondrous calls of many wonderful and rare birds. Mother Nature at her best awaits you here. You can feed and almost touch the nocturnal flying squirrels who become your nightly nature show friends during your stay at BEAR PAW MOUNTAIN RETREAT WITH MILLION $ VIEWS
Once you arrive-You May Never Want To Leave :)
Then........Add These Details:
3 separate floors with 3 separate master bedrooms, one on each floor, with its own ensuite bathroom!

About the host
Hosted by Brett Schroder

When an opportunity presented itself my wife Konnie and I decided to take that leap and purchase a vacation home in Franklin, we had been looking for numerous years and even purchased a couple mountain view parcels in Sapphire valley with the intent to build, which the Franklin, Cashiers, Sapphire and Highlands area is central to all of the fun the Smokey Mountains have to offer. A dream come true. Yay! Vacation home in place and an escape from the Florida heat and a task of mild winters an extreme departure from the frigid winters of the Midwest were i was raised! We were worried a bit, however it was for no reason as the people that have visited our home are good, hardworking and thoughtful people just as we are. Even a few celebrities have visited our Mountain Chalet :):) For that we are grateful and blessed.
Why they chose this property
Why this property? Well, this wonderful mountain top home became available and was truly more than we ever thought possible to obtain. Mountain top! New Timber Frame Construction! Million Dollar Home! All the best of construction! 47 mile view in the winter (documented) A Castle in The Sky!!! Creeks, Forest. Nature. Privacy yet not too remote. Central to everything. No hustle bustle noise with the exception of the birds and wildlife. How good does it get? Things seem to work out for a reason. . . . 'if one door shuts, another better one will open.' We truly feel that this is what happened. We chose to believe that nothing happens by coincidence and that it was all predetermined long before we arrived here ....
