Bruins Den | 3 Bed, 3.5 Bath

Live the sweet life at Bruins Den.  Brilliant stars shine above the fire pit in the large yard.  The bubbling hot tub is a great way to relax after exploring the Smoky Mountains.

The name Bruins Den comes from the Old English word for bear -- bruin. Find your inner bear at Bruins Den.

This Bryson City vacation rental has everything you need to refresh your spirit.  Bruins Den is the epitome of comfort with a sprawling layout, easy access, and all the comforts of home plus more.

This well-appointed mountain getaway features 3 bedrooms plus a loft and 3.5 baths. There’s plenty of room and plenty to do --  a beautiful mountain view sprawls through the trees before you and the large yard around Bruins Den. Roasted Marshmallows and stories await you at the fire pit under the brilliant stars.

Start your day off right -- huge windows let in mountain sunshine. Stainless steel appliances and gleaming granite counters brighten the fully equipped kitchen.

The first bedroom is a real treat with a King bed, flat screen TV, and private bath with a large jetted bath tub. The second and third bedrooms each have a queen bed and TVs.  The alcove in the loft has two twins, which for an additional charge can be converted into another King.  To accommodate two additional guests, there’s a  queen sleeper sofa in the loft.

Ceiling fans on the porch catch fresh mountain air. Let your cares drift away on the large covered porch with rocking chairs and a porch swing.  A griller’s delight, Bruins Den has a gas grill and picnic table that are just right for savoring meals.

Wi-Fi, an Xbox 360, and Satellite HDTV are available to keep you connected.

Home for everyone
This home is for everyone, the view can't be imagined. It has so many bedrooms and bathrooms, and space we loved. Half wrap around porch with rocking chairs, swing, picnic table, hot tub. It truly is a wonderful place, as for the inside cleanliness, spotless. The cleaning crew does an amazing job. As for the outside, the owners need to have a cleaning crew come out and get the dead bugs off the porch and get rid of some of the many spider webs. But, all in all this place truly is amazing. We would love to come back in the future.

Short vacation trip
We were very pleased with this rental. Kitchen well stocked with cooking utensils, appliances, dishes. Loved rocking chairs and swing on the front deck. Didn’t use the firepit but wood was supplied. Only complaint was the bed/mattress was in 2nd downstairs bedroom creaked every time you turned or got up. Overall a nice few days!

Nice house
We were a party of 8. We brought a single air mattress to make the sleeping arrangement work. The location was nice for Deep Creek, Bryson City, and Nantahala. The pictures of the place are all spot-on. One of the bathrooms only has a tub, so there are only 2 showers. The two single beds are in the open loft, so if you put little ones there it is quite time for the rest of the house. I definitely recommend the place.

This cabin is awesome. The views are amazing. Having the hot tub to relax in after a day of exploring the area was a huge plus. Everything you would need to be comfortable is in the cabin. Very homey. My only complaint would be the driveway. It’s extremely steep. You definitely need a 4x4 to get up it. That being said, we would definitely come here again if we were in the area.
